The Future of European Nationalism
by Fredrik Haerne
July 14, 2002
I recently had a discussion with a man who I have never thought to be a
White nationalist. His views on economics, history, art and other matters
have made it clear that he is a socialist, somewhere in between the
working-class version and the mushy-intellectual version of that ideology.
Surprisingly though, as I talked to him the other day, he expressed views
about race that made it clear to me that he worries for our country, and for
Europe as a whole. He is still far from being a true White nationalist, but
he is on his way. I wouldn't be surprised if the Swedish Democrats or
National Democrats would get his vote three or four elections from now.
The conversation lifted my spirits somewhat, and I started thinking that
there may be some hope for Sweden after all. A majority of our people would
like the old war cry, Keep Sweden Swedish, to guide our governments, and it
has always been that way; we just don't have many politicians who are
prepared to give us that option. The nationalist parties are generally kept
in "media shadow," treated as if they don't exist, except for the routine
smear every now and then, and I doubt that they will have much success in
the elections this fall.
However, despite nearly a century of anti-conservative and anti-White
propaganda, nationalism exists, and it is growing. The reason is that this
is not just another artificial political construct, but the natural way of
life and thought. Nationalism is Europe's true nature. It has been
oppressed, but try as they might the socialists and the Jews have not been
able to eradicate it. They know that they will have to destroy the entire
White race in order to get at nationalism, and the goal-oriented morality it
inevitably creates.
It brings me some satisfaction to know that even if nationalists would lose,
the mushy-intellectual socialists will never win. Their economic policies
may be used by the New World Order they anticipate, but that is where it
stops; their social policies, such as wanting a society without religion and
without race-awareness, will not survive. In the end, White socialists will
become slaves marked for slaughter just like the rest of us, which I think
my socialist acquintance is well aware of.
However, this future would still be a disaster, as all know, but only
nationalists dare to say. But can it be stopped? Can White nationalists in
Europe achieve their goals?
Swedish trends
To answer this question I would like to point to both local trends and wider
trends. One of the many local trends is this one: in Skåne, the most
southern region in Sweden, the number of new parties registered for the
local elections are at a record high this year; a lot of people are heartily
tired of the seven parties in the establishment, and they desperately desire
change. This desire crosses ideological boundaries, though I believe it to
be stronger among conservatives than among socialists.
It might be interesting to know that the establishment reacts predictably,
with some politicians starting to call for a constitutional change that
would introduce electoral districts for our parliamental elections. Up until
now we have simply counted the total votes for each party, and given them a
number of seats in parliament that correspond to their support among the
people (parliament then chooses who will get to form the new government).
Some politicians say that electoral districts would bring people closer to
their own representative, while a few admit that they want the change in
order to keep smaller parties from ever getting a say in politics (it is
more "stable" that way). Should the change ever come to pass, I predict
drastically lower public participation in elections, since the new system
would efficiently kill all opposition to the establishment. Perhaps that
would serve to make more people see that something isn't right.
Another local, that is to say Swedish, trend is the interest in the Viking
era. By talking to librarians I have learned that the interest for books
about Vikings and their mythology rose dramatically in the early nineties,
and that it has remained steady ever since. I went to school when this
interest was on the rise, and I have the Mjölner necklace to prove it.
More importantly, people are becoming just a little bit more outspoken about
our country's future every day. Protests had their record low somewhere in
the nineties, and though I am not exactly sure where it lay I am sure that
we are past it. That is very lucky for me, since any other development would
have had seriously negative effects on my blood pressure.
European trends
Lifting my eyes from the Scandinavian peninsula I notice a widesweeping
change in the European Union during the last few years. There was a time
when all the EU countries save for Spain had socialist governments, but
right now the pattern is the exact opposite. Remember that the EU has
fifteen members, consisting of all West European countries except for
Switzerland, Norway and Iceland (and the stamp-sized states Lichtenstein,
San Marino, Andorra, Monaco and the Vatican). The EU thus has hundreds of
millions of citizens in its member states. Right now only Finland, Germany,
Sweden and Great Britain remain red among these, and even here the socialist
banner is not held very highly; Finland has a left-right coalition
government, and Britain enjoys economic policies that are much closer to the
American tradition than the European one, much thanks to the legacy of the
Thatcher era.
What has brought about this drastic change in Europe, at a time when the
economy has generally been moving upward? The answer is simple: people are
tired of crime, tired of being humiliated and ignored. They change from left
to right hoping that things will get better; when they won't, they will
change back again. The truth is that the establishment doesn't have much to
offer us. But what is important with this trend is that European nationalism
is also on the rise. We have far-right parties sharing power in Austria,
Italy, the Netherlands and Denmark, we have the on-the-march Vlaam's Blok in
Belgium and the Front National in France, and we have a number of other
voices beginning to be heard. To me, all of this is very surprising, and
very nice to see. I am in a permanently stunned state of mind over the fact
that the right in Sweden and elsewhere has managed to survive at all,
considering the state-run schools and Jewish media. To see not only
conservatives prevail, but nationalism rising, is nothing short of a
miracle.
Perhaps not a miracle, though. To continue its attempts to make water run
upward the socialists need permanently huge governments, which are a
permanent drain on people's wallets. Furthermore, the social policies they
favor are as unnatural to us as their economic ones, and people will never,
never adopt them on their own. We all know that. Our natural spirit can be
silenced, but never broken. It can be beaten, but it will always come back.
Not even the hypnotic voices of television can change that fact. After all,
not even the Catholic Church managed to hold on to the power it once had in
Europe, and I really don't expect socialists and Jews to do any better.
Europe is seeking a way back to itself.
This is why nationalists have had a great deal of success with the recipe
of treating economic issues as secondary, and social issues as primary. The
traditional way, for conservatives and for socialists, is to treat economic
issues as primary, and this has been devastating for conservatives. They
have lost battle after battle in this arena, since socialist populism is so
much more appealing to people than when you bring up charts that show
long-term effects of complex macro economics.
Conservatives in Sweden in particular have completely failed to understand
this, and practically cut their own throats by talking only about economics,
never about social policies. They could have won a lot by standing up for
the natural, conservative social policies that most people want. Too bad for
them; the Real Right will pick up the banner instead. And like the National
Front in France they will wisely state that your opinions on tax percentages
are far less important than whether you love your country or not. By this
they have already won over not only people from the truly conservative
right, but also many from the White working-class left, who often have
down-to-earth views about social policies and are simply unskilled in
economic theory.
Nationalist progress
So, we have this miracle of a rising Right, which is really just a natural
adjustment back to more Life-affirming politics. Unfortunately, nationalist
parties are still far from governing the daily European agenda. Despite the
glimmers of hope I have described here the establishment is still very much
alive, the dark races keep pouring in across our borders, and we are still
left with my original question: can White nationalism achieve its goals on
this continent?
Let us look at what nationalists have achieved so far when it comes to
defending our borders from the dark invasion. Just this week it was
announced that new restrictions on immigration will be implemented in Italy
and Portugal. A while ago the same thing was heard from the Netherlands and
Denmark. For sure, Austria saw some relief with the Freedom Party two years
ago, and more changes are promised there. Changes come either because of
nationalists in the governments, like in Austria, or because of issues
brought up by nationalists outside the governments, like in Denmark. The new
policies are often similar in different countries; immigrants will be
required to get jobs, to learn the domestic language, to live with a bit
fewer privileges, etc. A ceiling on the number of yearly immigrants will be
installed in Portugal. Those searching for illegal immigrants will be given
more resources in Spain.
Some call these changes drastic, but they are really just crumpets. The dark
wave hasn't been turned around, it is only to slow down a little. As soon as
the socialists come to power again, they will simply open the flood gates
even wider than before to make up for lost time. Meanwhile, teachers are
crying and journalists are speaking in a tone of voice I think should be
reserved for the announcement of Judgment Day. The quicker our people
awaken, the more do the Jews and their collaborators feel the need to
speed up the darkening of Europe. They are going to succeed with that;
after all, you only need one term in office to let in a million Turks in
your country, if you want to.
Nationalist future
So, what can White nationalism accomplish in the short run? Well, the actual
political measures they can take are small, but they have a side effect that
I believe is far more important than the more obvious effects. This side
effect is that people are emboldened. They finally see that change is
possible. Significant political change within the current system is impossible, but they don't know that. They feel they can win, and that is when they can
muster the energy to make an effort. They feel there are others who think
like them, and that is when they can muster the courage to speak up. And
believe me, a lot of people have a lot to say -- and they will, once the
taboo is broken.
This is what we can hope for in the near future: first, that people will
become even more emboldened, and collectively decide to tell the truth
openly. Second, that conservatives and nationalists maintain what little
free speech we have left in European countries, and increase it. Third, that
nationalists help segregate our societies, which means simply to remove the
social engineering that puts the dark races in neighborhoods where they
don't belong. This is important in order to save our youths from becoming
polluted.
Our greatest ally is reality, the fact that people who feel the water rising
above their ankles finally won't listen to those who claim that the boat
isn't sinking. The events on September 11 had the positive effect that it
gave people a dose of reality, the same dose you get when someone close to
you is attacked and beaten on the street. Though New York is far away, the
attacks shook people a little. Perhaps they will be more shaken in the
future, by events even closer to their own homes.
It has been said before, and I will repeat it: we cannot vote our way out of
the mess we are in today. The system of mass democracy is too corrupt, and
too vulnerable to the influence of the media masters. Furthermore, it
becomes completely useless when politicians simply have the option of
replacing an electorate that doesn't always like them with one that is more
easily bribed. What we can do is to raise awareness, and that is something
European nationalists have started to do better and better. This lays the
foundation for what must be done in the long run.
Two years ago I first talked seriously with a couple of friends about where
Europe is heading, and around that time they finally shed their last
conservative restraints and joined the ranks of nationalists. We all agreed
that increasing immigration will inevitably lead to poverty in the long run,
and that the question is whether our people's reaction to this will come
fast enough to save us while we are still strong in numbers. We didn't mean
that this would happen by the ballot, for when the house comes crashing down
after an end to the American super economy, as it will, then ballots won't
mean much any longer. Two years later now the question still remains
unsolved, but I am beginning to be much more optimistic about the issue.
The American factor
This is nothing new to Americans reading this; the situation is basically
the same in the United States. What is different, however, is that we need
to watch the U.S. much closer than Americans need to watch Europe. At the
end of the day, the larger part of our future depends on what happens in the
super power. The tremendous influence of America's economic, cultural and
military might cannot be underestimated; the sad truth is that it is enough
to stop any serious positive change in Europe -- indeed, it has, several
times. The United States can prop up the establishment here, and help put it
back on the throne in those countries where it is temporarily removed. What
happened to Serbia can happen to us all.
A negative development in the United States -- a strong and prolific tyranny
-- means that Europe continues its downward path. The only way we can
destroy our establishment before it destroys us is if it loses its backup
from Hollywood and Washington. That, I believe, will only happen when
America faces the obvious end of its current road, and becomes either
another Argentina or another Colombia, sending the world economy to limbo.
Then we will join you in the same destiny.
