Fourteen Words
Encyclopedia : F : FO : FOU : Fourteen Words
Fourteen Words is used to describe two different political slogans.
The Fourteen Words
The Fourteen Words is a White nationalist phrase frequently used by White nationalists and neo-nazis. The slogan was coined by David Lane, an imprisoned member of The Order. It states: We must secure the existence of our people and a future for White children. It is often used as a greeting to affirm one's affiliation with White Pride.
Their origin can be traced to Volume 1, Chapter 8 of Adolf Hitler's Mein Kampf: "What we must fight for is to safeguard the existence and reproduction of our race and our people, the sustenance of our children and the purity of our blood, the freedom and independence of the fatherland, so that our people may mature for the fulfillment of the mission allotted it by the creator of the universe."
Sometimes the slogan is spraypainted or used to deface property in order to mark "turf" in prisons and other urban areas (often stylized as 14W), so it can be considered a gang symbol as well. It is sometimes combined with '88' as in '14/88', '1488' or '8814'. The '88' stands for the eighth letter of the alphabet twice, or 'HH', the initials of Heil Hitler. '88' can also stand for the book '88 Precepts' [link] by David Lane.
In the book Werewolf: The History of the National Socialist Movement of 1944 to 1946, Perry Biddiscombe writes that "Members of this 1946 Nazi resistance movement established a number of arms caches, and they used the '88' greeting". [#endnote_1]
Anarchist Fourteen Words
The Anarchist Fourteen Words is an Anti-nationalist phrase used by Anti-fascists. The slogan was coined by Tony Blackplait, a member of Vennaskond, in his book Anarhistid (The Anarchists). It states: We must secure the existence of Earth people and a future for all children. It can be used as a greeting to affirm one's affiliation with Anarchism, and is a parody of the 'Fourteen Words' attributed to White Power. [#endnote_2]
