I will say there is one difference between USA and Europe that speaks in Europe's favor.

When Europeans vote for a populist party, they know the party actually sucks. We know we're voting for the (hopefully) lesser evil on the gamble they'll do something right. But, apparently, Americans turn into true believers when they vote for a carnie populist candidate. They jealously cling to their delusions and defend even the dumbest and most destructive things he does.

It's an odd thing. Maybe it's because we've seen this movie before so many times. I don't know.

“The authoritarian and putschist temptation that pervaded the Italian and European fascist world in those years was triggered by the example of the OAS. We lived in a nation with limited sovereignty with the communist threat on our borders. And we thought that a reaction by the armed forces could be a harbinger of healthier, less democratic principles, in the worst sense of the word. And then, I repeat, we were terrified by the communist threat.”

On the one hand, since the beginning, the official line of the MSI seemed to support French colonial policy in North Africa, although there were some dissident voices. On the other hand, a pro-Arab stance was alive within the Italian extreme-right constellation due to the anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism found in some circles. All this was strengthened by the support given by some Arab nationalists to Italian fascism during the war. Moreover, Italian fascism, and, specifically, governor of Libya Italo Balbo, had been able to build up some good contacts and relations with parts of the Islamic world in Africa.

However, this backing of Arab nationalism was also because of another, simple, reason: A number of neofascists did not like the victorious nations in World War II and the existing colonial powers including Great Britain and France. This had much to do with Italy’s having experienced the loss of some of its colonial territories. It was both a form of jealousy and revenge. If, for example, Italy lost Libya, France could consequently lose its beloved Algeria.

According to Edmondo Cione’s Europa Sociale, Africa had started a liberation march that could hardly be stopped and that was also (in ideological terms) bound up with international politics. The Arab struggles for liberation were to be placed in the middle of the Cold War contrapositions between east and west. Moreover, the interests of big capital and farmers who had invested in Africa, it was claimed, excessively influenced the western countries. For this reason, they struggled to find the right solution for the African continent.

Edmondo Cione (1908–1965), jurist and journalist, was an exponent of the left current of neo-fascism. He did not have an active political life until he became a member of the MSI, in 1951. He left the party only two years later, in 1953, because he did not like the nationalist sentiments typical of the MSI and because of the party’s lack of interest in social issues. He continued to publish on themes such as the European identity until his death.

📢 Europe, Youth, Revolution!

National Revolutionary Youth and Third Way marched through the capital. Europe Awake!

Against the prodigious onslaught of exotic peoples and the birth of anti-white racism, we may well one day need to reconfigure the unity of the civilized world, from Alaska to Siberia. Then European Europe could not define herself against the other white continents. She will, on the contrary, have to become the most solid bond between European Russia and European America.

Jean Mabire, 1965.

French socialism… Our socialism is respect for the spiritual, corporative and syndical traditions of our working class, it is the reintegration of the world of work into the national community.

Our socialism is to give each worker a salary corresponding to his vital needs, to his works, to his national and social role.

Our socialism is the change of human relations in the factory by the communitarian spirit, it is the liberation of the middle classes and the peasantry from the capitalist grip.

“The new Ministry has no other aim
than to unite the nation behind the ideal of the national revolution.”

Joseph Goebbels, March 1933.

Now is the time not only for the Germans to proclaim, but to realize European socialism on the ruins of Europe. Because in the midst of these ruins, there is still our soul to defend. The worst time is the best time. The decisive social transmutations take place in the middle of the war. It was in the middle of the war that Puritan England, Lutheran Germany, Jacobin France and Leninist Russia, took the decisive steps in the struggle within. It is in the middle of the war, when the Russians advance, that the decidedly European and socialist gestures must be made.

Pierre Drieu La Rochelle

"Manifeste à la Nation Européenne", a document prepared by Thiriart and other would-be leaders of the National Party of Europe in the wake of the aforementioned 4 March 1962 meeting in Venice. Therein it was argued that the Frenchmen who were fighting to maintain control over Algeria were fighting on behalf of all Europeans, a standard right-wing view which clashed sharply with Thiriart’s later expressions of sympathy toward anti-colonialist struggles and "national liberation" movements. Nevertheless, some themes which appeared in this manifesto prefigured his subsequent ideological formulations, and undoubtedly reflected his own unique contribution.

The document began with the now familiar "third force" slogan, "neither Moscow nor Washington", and went on to promote the establishment of a united "communitarian" Europe armed with its own nuclear weapons and capable of liberating eastern Europe from the grip of the "Bolshevik dictatorship". In contrast to the decadent, subservient Europe that then existed, a virile new Europe would "carry on the struggle against both Communist and American imperialism", replace "chattering and corrupt parliamentarianism" by a "direct, hierarchical, stable, and LIVE democracy", abolish the class struggle, and tolerate capitalism only if it were "civic, disciplined and controlled by the nation".

Thiriart’s advocacy of a Nation Europa, like that of Mosley and other, more farsighted fascist leaders, was based upon the recognition that older, parochial forms of nationalism could only provide a "cardboard barrier" against Soviet and U.S. power in the post-1945 world.

“Let’s be realistic: whatever we say, write, or do, we would still call ourselves members of the right or the far-right, and are we going to waste our time trying to deny it?”

Pierre Pauty, “Qu’est-ce que la droite?” Militant, December 1972.

I said at the [founding of the BNP] meeting that the British National Party, if it were to succeed, must be a party of revolution, dedicated to the service of Race and Nation, and that we must never again be hampered by the trappings of any pseudo-democratic policies . . . We must never offer watered down propaganda in order to attract mass membership. We must never shirk from our duty to cause and creed. We must never moderate, for moderation is liberalism and liberalism is stagnation and defeat.
BNP founding member (1982)

The BNP has genuinely changed enormously over the last few years, and our victories . . . are partly the reward for those changes.
Nick Griffin (2002)

We are fighting for people to remain true to their true nature, for them to flourish in all areas, for them to continue to form communities "on a human scale," from the family to Europe, from the factory to the region. We are fighting against the age of robots that the technicians of the communist world and those of the capitalist world are preparing for us together. We reject "modern times" because they stem from the same illusory and unreal vision.

Jean Mabire

Down with the Europe of Strasbourg, down with the Europe of the federalists, down with the Europe of the lackeys of Russian or American imperialism!...Liberate yourselves from the influence of Moscow and Washington!...Join with us to fight the Jewish capitalist, our exploiter, and his accomplice the Bolshevik, the Judaized instrument of a Jewish politics!

René Binet

I would like to insist on two new concepts: first of all, that of ethnopolitics. “Geopolitics” took into account only geographical factors. But the new planet taking shape before us will be one of blocs of nations and civilizations fighting one another for survival, and not a world of human harmony, a “world state” ruling a mongrelized humanity, an infantile extension of the American “melting pot,” with petty rivalries between states.

Later on, it will be necessary for Eurosiberia to consider allying itself with all white people of European origin in 21st century, whether they live on the American continent or elsewhere. This is the concept of Septentrion.

Perhaps this position is utopian? Perhaps it is visionary? Isn’t this planetary solidarity of all the peoples of European origin, sometimes transnational, a new concept, worthy of discussion?
