88 Precepts

88 Precepts is a document written by David Lane, a member of the neo-Nazi organization The Order. Written while Lane was serving a 190-year prison sentence, "88 Precepts" is a treatise on natural law, religious philosophy, race, and politics — elementary maxims expounding Lane's philosophy behind the "Fourteen Words" slogan. Lane was heavily critical of democracy, multiculturalism, and racial integration, and sought to establish "exclusively White territorial imperatives" in North America and Europe. "88 Precepts" is one of several key texts, printed and distributed through 14 Word Press, including the "White Genocide Manifesto" (which contains 14 key points).^[1]

Lane claimed that 14-88 was an integral part of coding in his "Pyramid Prophecy" (which taught the belief that Lane was the "666 Sun Man" and America was the "Beast")^[2] and fundamental to his neo-pagan religion Wotanism (with "88 Lines and 14 Words" being a supplement to 88 Precepts). 1488 is a combination of 14 as in Lane's Fourteen Words and 88 as a reference to his 88 Precepts.

As in his other writings, including his "fourteen words," Lane repeats the claim that white people are threatened by a lack of exclusive territorial hegemony and "forced racial mixing".^[3]

Consistent with the restrictive gender roles which were practiced within the Aryan Nations, of which Lane was a member, precept 35 of "88 Precepts" regards homosexuality as unnatural and it also views sex as an act of reproduction which should be performed for the sole purpose of increasing the size of the white population. Lane views sex as a motivation for male subjugation of women, who are expected to be subservient. Lane advises men to subjugate women via power and control of territory, and he also advises white men to take arms for this purpose.^[4]
