EXCERPTS FROM THE AMERICAN NATIONALIST. ESSAYS ON THE AMERICAN EXPERIENCE BY JACK ARMSTRONG

 The  Fraud of Moral Relativism by John Otis-April 2005

"A purely private morality is a contradiction in terms. Morality, by definition, is public; it applies always to a community, and never to individuals solely as individuals. To put it differently, morality always involves relations among individuals." 

" But perhaps the most pointed thing that should be said about the notion that each individual generates  the criteria for right and wrong is that, though it may provide comforting  temporary relief to the individualist-swallowed whole as pure theory-it is really, practically speaking, completely unworkable. Any attempt to implement it on a large scale would result in chaos and render human society impossible."

Of course what the author is speaking on is the necessity of a Communitarian ethnos if a society is to survive and prosper. It could be argued that all morality is hypocritical but no nation can long survive in an atmosphere of total immorality where everyone is a nation of one and does what he pleases regardless of the circumstances and every thing can be purchased for a price. Therefore morality must be collective. The common good before individual gain. That is what we mean by the racial community.
