| I am a Hellenic
nationalist. This means that I proclaim my nationality. My whole thought and action
belongs to it. I am a socialist. I see no class and no social estate before me, but that
community of people who are linked by blood, united by a faith, united by a language, and
subject to the same general fate. I love these people and hate only those that stand in
the way of the greatness and happiness of my people.
The nationalistic movement, which I am a part of, views it's goals as the liberation of
our people within and without. It aims to give our people domestically those forms of life
which seem to be suitable to its nature and to be a benefit to it as the expression of
it's nature. It aims thereby to preserve the character of this people and to further cultivate it through the systematic
fostering of its best men and best virtues. It aims for the creation of a government in
which the needs and interests of the Hellenes, supersede the demands of foreigners. It
fights for the external freedom of this people, because only under freedom can this life
find that form which is serviceable to its people.
