National Anarchism

National Anarchism, shortened to NatAn, is a culturally right wing nationalist variant of Anarchism.

He believes in autonomous communes run according to "natural law" and should be segregated ethnically and/or culturally, with the addition of a Meritocratic social system.

History

National Anarchism has its origins in the Romantic Nationalism of the 18th century, when different peoples were fighting to assert their independence amidst the consolidation of nation-states and empires in Europe, and in particular the Völkisch movement of Germany, which encouraged a return to rural life and veneration of the ancient gods of the Germans.

'Nationalanarchismus' was coined by the German Conservative Helmut Franke, and it is within the Conservative Revolutionary sphere that much of the philosophy that National Anarchists inherited was developed, especially by Ernst Jünger, a German soldier and writer who had fought in the Great War. The Italian esotericist and traditionalist Julius Evola is also cited as an influence on National Anarchism from this period, and his philosophy has also influenced the wider European New Right current in the postwar era.

In the late 1980s, National Anarchist ideology began to crystallise with the establishment of the National Revolutionary Faction by Troy Southgate, a former 'Black Front' Strasserist and member of the International Third Position and the British National Front. Separately, an obscure group known as the Black Rams espoused an ideology known as 'Anarcho-Nationalism'.

The National Revolutionary Faction received support from Richard Hunt, an Alternative Green Anarchist who had formerly been at the forefront of developing the philosophy of the Green Anarchist zine before leaving the Eco-Anarchist mainstream over differences of opinion over his position on Nationalism. Ted Kaczynski and his critical assessment of civilisation, society, technology, and its impact on nature is also widely accepted among National Anarchists.

The NRF stood as a predecessor to the National Anarchist Movement, and this revolutionary vanguard soon became defunct as the movement expanded online through the Thule Seminar, the Cercle de la Rose Noire journal, and other closely-affiliated forums and sites. The National Anarchist Movement has led to the creation of other movements in North America, such as the Bay Area National Anarchists led by A. Yeoman, an Australian movement led by W. Herfurth, and a Belgian National Anarchist Movement, as well as countless other groups whose names remain obscure.

Beliefs

National community against the state

National-anarchists believe that nationalism as it is defined by the state is illusory, and they advocate for the revival of a society based on tribes, with a focus on the preservation of traditions. They believe that a multitude of village communities based on ethnic identities should be established and achieve full independence from and against the state, which would then, like normal anarchism, be joined in federations of unspecified character. These societies would, in theory, be segregated on racial grounds to bar inhabitants from miscegenation. However, National-Anarchism takes a strict stance against coercive measures, and is therefore ok with communities basing their identity on factors other than race, or allowing racial mixing and other profanations of "natural law". Therefore, national-anarchism could be simply be characterized as a form of modern panarchy with communitarian aspects added to it, since National-Anarchism fuses an ambivalent stance on hierarchy and polycentric law with a federation of communes run according to the wishes of the community. In shorter terms, stripped of the racial aspects, it is a synthesis of Social Anarchism and Panarchism.

Position on economics

National-Anarchism has an ambivalent stance on economics. While all national-anarchists oppose capitalism, many of them are ok with the idea of a market. Some national-anarchists agree with communism, but many of them are more friendly to markets because they believe that communities should retain ownership over what they possess. Many National-Anarchists, including Southgate and Preston, simply believe in the co-existence of different economic systems, as long as they are non-coercive.

The only economic idea that they strictly promote is the ideal of self-sufficiency, since they believe these communes would not survive without this.

Aristocracy and natural law

Unlike most forms of anarchism, national-anarchism is openly and adamantly against egalitarianism. National-anarchism believes that there are natural and unchangeable differences among men, and that the highest form of freedom can only be attained by organizing society according to the true nature and personality of the individuals involved in it. Furthermore, it believes that modern society, although hierarchical, has obscured the exaltation of differing characteristics among men through the imposition of arbitrary and artificial class structures like capitalism that are based purely in the realm of material reproduction instead of the proper expression of individual qualities. National-anarchism believes that communities should have their hierarchies chosen based on recognition of talent and virtue amongst the peoples who inhabit the community.

In line with this doctrine against equality, many National-Anarchists believe in "natural law", where law is established according to tradition and tribal solidarity. Among the things that Southgate has listed as being contrary to it, is homosexuality, racial mixing, feminism, and abortion.

Environment

National-anarchism believes in the blood-and-soil doctrine theorized by Richard Walther Darré, which believes that there is a mutual relationship between the bloodline of a peoples and the land that is occupied by these bloodlines. On these grounds, National-Anarchism not only advocates for preservation of the environment, but also believes that environmental preservation requires a proper recognition of racial and cultural qualities.

In general, national-anarchism proposes that people move out of the cities and form bonds among their blood in the countryside. Their stance on technology is ambivalent after this. Some of them, like Southgate, support the destruction of industrial society altogether, while others support even further technological advancement.

Opposition to Zionism

Although not defining, an opposition to the zionist ideology is enshrined in the doctrine of national-anarchism. This has led to accusations of anti-semitism being thrown on Southgate. However, the extent to which it crosses over into anti-semitism is debatable at best. While Southgate believes in conspiracy theories that could easily cross into anti-semitism, such as the Khazarian conspiracy theory and Judeo-Bolshevism, Southgate himself is against these accusations, and points out that he has displayed an interest in many Jews before, and has even displayed an interest in Jewish mysticism.

Personality and Behaviour

NatAn is often accused of being the same thing as Anarcho-Fascism, due to both having socially and culturally conservative views. He opposes Zionism, though he doesn't necessarily hate Jews in general, like Nazism does (although some of his adherents may say so). He usually confuses most of the other anarchists, except Anarcho-Fascism, though points of common interest exist with Anarcho-Primitivism, Anarcho-Monarchism, and other Anarchisms of the Right.

Due to the fact that the majority of his adherents are found throughout Western Europe and English-speaking countries, European/Western cultural and social issues are most prioritised, although National Anarchists often show support for Tibetans, Palestinians, Uyghurs, and other ethnic groups who are repressed by statist powers.

He detests Wikipedia since they misinterpret his ideological values as set out in the National Anarchist Manifesto. By extension, he has nothing but contempt for sites like ~~Ratwiki~~ Rational Wiki, who are opinionated and misinformed about his ideology.

Variants

Prestonism

Prestonism is similar to mainstream National-Anarchism but orientated towards Panarchism more than Nationalism. He believes in the dissolution of the state in favor of free association between individuals with cohabitation of every ideology under the sun made possible through voluntaryism. Additionally, he opposes what he sees as "totalitarian humanism" or radical leftism/rightism. Furthermore, he believes that National-Anarchism and the ideals of Jeffersonian Democracy are compatible.

Jüngerism

Ernst Jünger is known for his works on his views on the positive effects of warfare and battle, through his service in World War I. Jünger opposed the bourgeois civilizations' values of comfort and security, which he saw as weak and dying, in favor of the hardening and “magnificent” experience of action and adventure in war, which he believed would transform a man of the bourgeois world into a “warrior.” The warrior type battled “against the eternal Utopia of peace, the pursuit of happiness, and perfection.” Jünger believed that the crisis and restlessness of Germans after the World War was a good thing.

In his book Der Arbeiter, the “warrior” was followed by the “worker,” a new type that would become dominant after the end of the bourgeois order. Jünger realized that modern technology was changing the world; the individual man was losing his individuality and freedom in an automated world. Thus he predicted a society where people would accept anonymity in the masses and obedient service to the state; the population would undergo “total mobilization.” To quote Jünger: "Total Mobilization is far less consummated than it consummates itself; in war and peace, it expresses the secret and inexorable claim to which our life in the age of masses and machines subjects us. It thus turns out that each life becomes, ever more unambiguously, the life of a worker; and that, following the wars of knights, kings, and citizens, we now have wars of workers. The first great twentieth-century conflict has offered us a presentiment of both their rational structure and their mercilessness."

Ernst Jünger’s initial acceptance of technology in the “worker” stage stands somewhat in contrast to the view taken by his brother, Friedrich Georg Jünger, who wrote critiques of modern technological civilization (although Ernst would later in life agree with this view). Ernst Jünger later changed his attitudes during World War II, and afterward nearly inverted his entire worldview, praising peace and individualism; a change which had not come without criticism from the Right.

(WiP) In his book Eumeswill, he presented the new archetype, the "Anarch", who isn't bound by morality, state, or anything.

Southgateism

Troy Southgate was the original person who innovated the National-Anarchist movement. According to him, he was a Labour voter in his teens, and then later on was oriented towards the National Front because he liked its distributist policies.

Since most of National-Anarchist beliefs are an innovation of himself, his ideology is not too different from what is already stated in the "Beliefs" section of his page. However his beliefs are mostly based off an anti-statist reading of Evola.

Korchynskism

Popular Resistance Association

The Popular Resistance Association is a Russian anarchist organisation founded in 2016 that opposes Vladimir Putin's government. It synthesizes left-wing populism with Russian nationalism, and is influenced by the Socialist Revolutionaries and the Narodniks. Within the group, there are national Bolsheviks, national syndicalists and third-position groups. Its flag is based on that used by the Green Army in the Russian Civil War.

Shin Chae-ho Thought

Shin Chae-ho Thought is the ideology of the Korean anarchist, independentist and historian Sin Chae-ho, admired both in the South and North. He based his ideas on an anarcho-communist system (influenced by Kropotkin) with a defense of Korean independence against Japanese imperialists. At the same time, he defended Korean ethnic and racial nationalism with his concept of racial history called Minjok.

Dobrovolskyism

Dobrovolskyism, also known as Russian National Socialism, is the ideology of Alexey Aleksandrovich Dobrovolsky. He bases his beliefs around Russian Neo-Paganism and believes that Russia has been ruined by Judeo-Christians. Peasant Socialism is what he thinks is natural for Russia, without private property, alienation from nature and inequality. He greatly admired the Bolsheviks which he saw as revolutionaries which stood against the Christian status-quo and he also combined these Socialist beliefs with the Racialism of National Socialism.

How to Draw

Drawing National-Anarchism is a bit complicated:

Draw a ball,
Colour it a very dark, but not pure, shade of black
Draw a white circle and fill it in,
Draw a star of the same shade of black in the middle of the ball,
Draw a white rectangle over the star so that the entire top point and entire two bottom points of the star are visible, as well as the tips of the other two points,
Write the initials "NAM" in black in the rectangle in bold text so that they cover the entire rectangle,
Draw the eyes and you're done!

Relationships

Note: While NatAn considers several other anarchist ideologies his friends due to shared ideological values, most of them do not share the same feelings back due to his reactionary views.

Friends

Lys Noir - Finally someone who gets me! The state, Capitalism, and progressivism are evil.
Eco-Anarchism - Finally, someone who recognizes the danger of Capitalism and the state to our beautiful land! ~~Why are you giving me that look?~~
Odalism - You're like him ~~but batshit insane~~.
Anarcho-Conservatism - He gets it!
Post-Colonial Anarchism and Indigenous Anarchism - We support you 100%, and I would even say that you are national-anarchist praxis.
Hoppeanism - "My views are basically the same as Hoppe’s although I am a little more “left-wing” in the sense of being much less sympathetic to business corporations whom I regard as the economic arms of the state, and a little more “right-wing” in the sense of rejecting Lockean universalism in favor of decentralized particularism. The infrastructure for what Hoppe is describing is already being developed in the form of the “big sort,” sanctuaries, startup societies, separatist movements, and the exportation of the USA’s “culture war” (traditionalism vs totalitarian humanism) on an international scale."

Frenemies

Anarcho-Communism - "Private property is a social system to determine who is using what, and is a quick and easy way for strangers to tell what group/association/person is using what. That is all it is, it a tool for free association, a tool to quickly sort things out among strangers. In life, not everyone wants to associate or work with everyone else. Some people really, really do not want to be around certain other people. And as far as strangers go, a lot of people really need to get to know other people before they feel at all comfortable with sharing, working or living with strangers. The implications of “no property” is this – a stranger or asshole walks into your home, a stranger or asshole uses all your stuff, a stranger or asshole sleeps in your bed, a stranger or asshole uses your TV or computer when you want to use it, a stranger or asshole takes the clothes off your back to wear them themselves, and a stranger or asshole eats all the food in your refrigerator. That is Authority, that is coercion, domination and slavery. That is being forced at gunpoint to support and interact with people that you do not want to interact with. Even worse – that is interfering with and interupting your preferences and your personal life in order to associate with people you do not want to associate with. I see no reason to FORCE people to sacrifice their personal lives to help people whom they personally do not want to help. That is brutal self-sacrifice and authority right there."
Anarcho-Fascism - "Indeed, it could even be said that by gravitating towards a political group that is so heavily misrepresented the Right has been deceived by the fallacious propaganda of the Left. Needless to say, fascists who fail to appreciate that x is not actually y and who retain such views are not tolerated. Furthermore, whilst the Left seeks to deliberately maintain the confusion between x and y by presenting National-Anarchism as a variant of fascism, certain people on the Right ignore our anti-fascist proclivities by stubbornly portraying themselves as ‘anarcho-fascists’. This, of course, being far more deserving of the very oxymoronism that we ourselves have been accused of in the past."
White Nationalism - The average white nationalist, of course, [...] is perfectly happy to see ‘inferior’ races crushed beneath the grinding wheels of Western civilisation like piles of grain.
Queer Anarchism - Although homosexuality would be prohibited in our communes, in the spirit of healthy pluralism, we concede some breathing room to your kind.
Ethnocracy - I am not a supremacist, on the contrary, I just want to implement natural law, which seperates ethnic groups naturally. ~~Although our societies would be a de-facto ethnocracy since other ethnicities wouldn't be allowed in them.~~

Enemies

Modernism, Capitalism, Globalism & Statism - The quartet of evil! You are all responsible for everything wrong in this world!

[2] I would miss newspapers and the radio etc. I’ve no objection to technology itself. So in principle I’d be quite happy to see computers etc. in villages. But when everybody’s got their own land, no one is going to work in the factories. we may like computers, but they simply won’t be available.

No, it depends on the death of religion.

[4] Organizer of a series of actions in Odessa in defense of local self-government in 1998.

[5] Both Korchynsky's and Dugin's movements worked closely in the past.

[6] Society is not and should not be based (it should not be, by my will) on equality, on the strength of feeling towards all people; where there is no clear and decisive gradation, there can be nothing but weakness and decay.

[7] This exclusivity or egoism of the individual and the family is destroyed by the divine power of empathy with the universe. No universal love prevails; religion cannot achieve the impossible, and religion is strength and buoyancy, not decay and weakness. But the community that gathers around the Lord’s table is the bond that binds the individuals into a solid structure; and nothing can come between the community and the individual.

[8] When socialism arose again in our times, it was initially connected with a religious reaction against the French Enlightenment, against Voltaire. One cannot understand Fourier, the Saint-Simonists, Pierre Leroux and others if one does not know that their communism and their women’s community were connected with the attempt to invent some kind of theocracy, a new state religion. These early socialists could not imagine a solution to social questions without common property in the economy and love.

[9] We have no religion and therefore cannot attempt communism.

[11] We can also assist the process by setting up workers' co-operatives and a black market that allows people to trade outside of the existing capitalist system and also try to cut down on how much we contribute to the economy in general.

[14] Over time, as the authorities lose control due to people witholding taxes and thus making it impossible for them to function effectively (including non-payment of the police and army that protect them) we will see the growth of 'no-go' areas and the spread of autonomous, self-sufficient villages. The entire social security (welfare) structure must go, too, because that also postpones the threat of revolution. That might sound harsh, but one way of compensating for the removal of the state 'safety-net' is pooling our resources to help those in need. I am not talking about implementing this on a large scale, of course, but we must concentrate on helping those we love and care about and construct our alternative communities now in order to prepare for the hard times that lie ahead.

[15] The Potlatch as an Illustration of the Gift Economy

[16] I OFTEN find myself in agreement with David Graeber’s anthropological evaluation of “primitive” societies and how they operate, but his work nonetheless contains the occasional trace of what some would describe as “leftism” and therefore an inability to think beyond the existing parameters in which certain values and opinions have been framed.

[17] Systems Overload

[18] Like Schelling, I believe that nature is visible spirit and that spirit is invisible nature.

[19] Personally, as something of an Absolute Idealist I believe that everything around us is divine. As Friedrich Schelling says, “nature shall be the visible spirit, and spirit, invisible nature.”

[20] Nationalism and Uniformity

[21] As I have explained in several online interviews, I actually come from the Left, having voted for the British Labour Party as a teenager in 1983
