The institution that is now erroneously called the Nation generally classifies people only into two groups: citizens and aliens. Citizens are all those who possess full civic rights, either by reason of their birth or by an act of naturalization. Aliens are those who enjoy the same rights in some other nation. Between these two categories there are certain beings who resemble a sort of meteoric phenomena. They are people who have no citizenship in any nation and consequently no civic rights anywhere.
In most cases nowadays a person acquires civic rights by being born within the frontiers of a Nation. The race or nationality to which he may belong plays no role whatsoever.
Besides naturalization that is acquired through the fact of having been born within the confines of a Nation there exists another kind of naturalization which can be acquired later. This process is subject to various preliminary requirements.
If the affairs of the candidate are such that it appears likely he will turn out to be a good vote-bank, that is a very important consideration and will help him to obtain civic rights all the more rapidly.The question of race plays no part at all.
The whole process of acquiring civic rights is not very different from that of being admitted to membership of an automobile club, for instance. A person files his application. It is examined. It is sanctioned.
Nothing but a stroke of the pen, and a slave is forthwith turned into a citizen of Aryawart.
Not only is no question asked regarding the race to which the new citizen belongs; even the matter of his physical health is not inquired into. His blood may be infected with HIV; but he will still be welcome in the Nation as it exists today so long as he may prove good vote-bank.
In this way, year after year, those organisms which we call Nation take up poisonous matter which they can hardly ever overcome.
Another point of distinction between a citizen and an alien is that the former is admitted to all public offices and is permitted to take a passive or active part at public elections. Those are his chief privileges. For in regard to personal rights and personal liberty the alien enjoys the same amount of protection as the citizen, and frequently even more. Anyhow that is how it happens in our present Indian Republic.
I realize fully that nobody likes to hear these things. But it would be difficult to find anything more illogical or more insane than our contemporary laws in regard to National citizenship.
The National Socialist Aryawart will classify its population in three groups: Citizens, subjects of the Nation, and aliens.
The principle is that birth within the confines of the Nation gives only the status of a subject. It does not carry with it the right to fill any position under the Nation or to participate in political life, such as taking an active or passive part in elections. Another principle is that the race and nationality of every subject of the Nation will have to be proved. A subject is at any time free to cease being a subject and to become a citizen of that country to which he belongs in virtue of his nationality. The only difference between an alien and a subject of the State is that the former is a citizen of another country.
The young boy or girl who is of our nationality and is a subject of the National Socialist Aryawart is bound to complete the period of school education which is obligatory for every Aryan. Thereby he submits to the system of training which will make him conscious of his race and a member of the folk-community.
Then he has to fulfil all those requirements laid down by the Nation in regard to physical training after he has left school; and finally he will enter the army. The training in the army will be of a general kind. It must be given to each individual and will render him competent to fulfil the physical and mental requirements of military service. The rights of citizenship shall be conferred on every young man whose health and character have been certified as good, after having completed his period of military service. This act of inauguration in citizenship shall be a solemn ceremony. And the diploma conferring the rights of citizenship will be preserved by the young man as the most precious testimonial of his whole life. It entitles him to exercise all the rights of a citizen and to enjoy all the privileges attached thereto. For the Nation must draw a sharp line of distinction between those who, as members of the nation, are the foundation and the support of its existence and greatness, and those who are domiciled in the Nation simply as earners of their livelihood there.
On the occasion of conferring a diploma of citizenship the new citizen must take a solemn oath of loyalty to the national community and the Nation. This diploma must be a bond which unites together all the various classes and sections of the nation. It shall be a greater honour to be a citizen of this Nation, even as a street-sweeper, than to be the King of a foreign country.
The citizen has privileges which are not accorded to the alien. He is the master in the Nation. But this high honour has also its obligations. Those who show themselves without personal honour or character, or common criminals, or traitors to the fatherland, can at any time be deprived of the rights of citizenship. Therewith they become merely subjects of the Nation.
The Aryan girl is a subject of the Nation but will become a citizen when she marries. At the same time those women who earn their livelihood independently have the right to acquire citizenship if they are subjects of Aryawart.
