Ideas matter. Individuals matter. Cultures matter. Truth matters, and truth exists. We used to know that. It’s time we get to know it again, and reject false ideas about the irrelevance of culture. We are not racists for desiring to pass on our heritage to future generations, nor are we evil for resisting to be treated as lab rats in social experiments on a horrific scale. We must nip the ideology of transnational Multiculturalism and unlimited mass migration in the bud by exposing it for what it is: A Communism for the 21st century.
I'm inclined to quibble with a point or two in Fjordman's post, but I don't think I will just now, especially since I haven't taken the time yet to read the links he provides to flesh out his argument. On the whole, he presents an interesting analysis, I think. It's food for thought, at any rate.

P.S. This must be my day for learning more about the history of Marxism and socialism, etc., and how today's socialists have turned early goals upside down (or abandoned the goals completely, while holding onto the ideology with a death grip). In today's mail I got this month's Imprimis, which features Socialism, Free Enterprise, and the Common Good by Rev. Robert A. Sirico, the president of Acton Institute.
Update: So this really is my day for crossing paths with essays on what is wrong with socialism in practice. Anthony Esolen takes a look at what happens when faith no longer keeps politics in its place, in Metastatic Politics, at Mere Comments, May 16, 2007. History buffs might want to know he includes a segment of Pope Leo XIII's Quod apostolici muneris, Dec. 28, 1878.
