Disagreement
Unifying the sort of committed and emotive people that the Legion attracts is a challenge. Naturally, when a group of strong minded people assemble there will be disagreement. Globally, splits have occured since the 1920s. Since then, each group has split and reunited from time-to-time.

In Austalia
As a courtesy to prospective members we advise that there are several groups in Australia.

  • Loyal to Commandant General (the group referred to by these pages)
  • Australia Division
  • Independent Overseas Command (IOC)

    Advise from Michel Foucault
    Thought is no longer theoretical. As soon as it functions it offends or reconciles, attracts or repels, breaks, dissociates, unites, or re-unites; it cannot help but liberate and enslave. Even before prescribing, suggesting a future, saying what must be done, even before exhorting or merely sounding an alarm, thought, at the level of its existence, in its very dawning, is in itself an action--a perilous act.

    Advise from Dorothy Rowe
    'Putting time and energy into hatred and revenge diminishes us. Seeing our enemy as a despised object rather than a fellow human being reduces our capacity for empathy, and it's empathy that allows us to leave the narrow confines of our own little world and explore other people's worlds, and draw close to other people in kindness, generosity and love. Needing an enemy is like needing a smoke or a drink. Fulfilling that kind of need can be comforting at the time, but, in the long run, having an enemy only does us harm.'
