An Agrarian Society:

Opposed to the industrial society is the agrarian, which does not stand in particular need of definition. An agrarian society is hardly one that has no use at all for industries, professional vocations, for scholars and artists and for the life of the cities. Technically, perhaps, an agrarian society is one in which agriculture is the leading vocation, whether for wealth, for pleasure, or prestige – a form of labor that is pursued with intelligence and leisure, and that becomes the model to which the other forms approach as well as they may.

I belief not in Indistrialisism, Marxism, rampant and cancerous Urbanist globalism but in the inherently freer more humane local Agrarian society favored by Jefferson and Jackson and the God of Nature who gave us Natural Law. In the industrial cities rises all the vices and social illnesses of the worst of mankind and the city itself like a cesspit encourages a inward rot that can only be purged by the clean air and wholesome work of the countryside or by if the illness is too severe the fire of collapse war and a dark age.

The Southern Agrarians represent one of the most interesting movements of the first half of the twentieth century. Principled as well as intellectual, the Agrarians offered much for America to ponder. Many of their ideas are even more relevant today then they were when they wrote them in the 1920's and 1930's of the last century.

This is a warning about the danger of local politicians playing warlord after a collapse begins. My thought is

I have a "Survival" group that is built around extended family and a ton of Army and marine combat vets and ethnic rednecks. At the back of the farm about a half mile from the road we have a camp. It is basically a earthworks berm and dich and bunker line fort one of my Uncles helped me design from the Green Beret Camps in the Central Highlands in the War.

I was a company commander back in my service and most of my kin have worn a uniform and fit in the structure of our clan and tribe. The outsiders have been with us many years and between us all we can field a rifle company.

I don't think any local authorities who try this are going to like the result much. I won't bother my neighbors if they don't try to bother me but any fool that tries to attack us is going to pull back a bloody stump.
( I am on my Mothers side a descendent of a group of Mohawk who back in 1828 decided to move here to Michigan and somewhat assimilate. That makes us a rather dangerous foe to any politician who plays this game.

I and mine will protect our families and neighbors and neighborhood and the ability to survive and to recover.

Another thing to think about
