"The values of Western civilization are not just different, they're better. OK? I know a whole generation has been raised on the notion of multiculturalism, that all civilizations are just different. No! Not always, sometimes things are better! Rule of law is better than autocracy and theocracy. Equality of the sexes, better. Protection of minorities, better. Free speech, better. Free elections, better."
Cultural Nationalism is an ideology which views the nation as being a shared culture. It is portrayed as nationalistic and culturally right-wing. CultNat represents an intermediate position between civic nationalism and ethnic/racial nationalism, and is most often manifested in moderate forms such as
Flemish nationalism and
Hindu nationalism, though these two can easily become ethnic nationalists. It is strongly opposed to multiculturalism, and usually only pro-immigration if the immigrants assimilate into their culture.
Variants
Cultural Patriotism
Cultural Patriotism is the belief in the beauty and veneration of your culture on a personal level, but it has no bearing on the political level, unless in very very severe cases of globalism. For example a Scottish person by enjoy the highland games but contrary to nationalists they would take no issue with say, an Arab, competing in the games as well.
Cultural Chauvinism
Cultural Chauvinists believe in the enforcement and expansion of their culture to the direct misfortune of others. They support genocide, slavery and apartheid to rid their nation of any who are not of their culture. Cultural Chauvinism is very close to Nazism but differs in that they bear no mind to heritage, simple the values and traditions of people today.
Linguistic Nationalism
Linguistic Nationalism is the belief that the foundation of the nation is based on language rather than race,
ethnicity,
religion,
culture or
citizenship.
Some Linguistic Nationalists do believe that culture and language are connected, so they attempt to assimilate people into their culture by making them learn the official language(s) of that one specific nation people want to be part of.
Linguistic Preservationism
Linguistic Preservationism is the belief that all languages, including endangered languages, should be preserved.
Assimilationism
Assimilationism occurs when one group of people take on the customs, beliefs and culture of another group. This is usually done by a minority group to fit in with the majority and can either be enforced through government policy or happen naturally. Assimilationism is often favoured by National Conservative groups as they believe that immigrants should adopt the customs and culture of their new country.
Spenglerism
Spenglerism is a revolutionary conservative philosophy of Oswald Spengler. It rejected both liberalism and marxism as Spengler had considered them to be both based on the english spirit which was opposed to the german spirit. Spengler advocated that both german conservatives and german (non-communist) socialist must cooperate against the weimar republic. Spengler also advocated for a new system which can be summarized as a socialist-corporatist nationalist-militarist state under an authoritarian Prussian monarchy.
Cultures and Civilizations
Spengler's historical philosophy is based on two ideas: first, that human history is shaped by large social entities called "Cultures," each with its own unique characteristics; and second, that the evolution of these Cultures resembles the life cycle of living beings.
He identified nine Cultures, including Ancient Egyptian, Babylonian, Indian, Chinese, and Western (or "Faustian"). According to Spengler, each Culture has its own distinct identity and develops in stages like a person's life, from childhood to old age. When a Culture reaches its later stages, it becomes a "Civilization," marked by technology and mass society. Spengler believed that human history is not linear but consists of the interactions between these Cultures, each with its own unique worldview and destiny. He saw modern society as a "Civilization" in decline, characterized by technology and imperialism.
Although Spengler's ideas were criticized for being obscure and mystical, they influenced later thinkers like Eduard Meyer and Ludwig Wittgenstein. His work laid the foundation for social cycle theory, which explores the recurring patterns in human history.
Pseudomorphosis
Spengler talks about pseudomorphosis, a concept borrowed from mineralogy, to describe when a young culture can't fully develop because it's stuck in the mold of an older one. This leads to resentment and hatred towards the older culture.
He believed this happened with the Arabian culture after it lost to Rome at the Battle of Actium, and later with Russia under Peter the Great, who forced Western European norms onto Russia. Spengler thought this hindered Russia's cultural growth, leading to resentment towards Europe. He predicted a new culture emerging in Russia, hinted at by authors like Tolstoy and Dostoyevsky.
Becoming and Being
For Spengler, change is fundamental, not stability. He believed that life and growth are where divine influence is found, not in permanence. Spengler's philosophy can be summed up by lines from Goethe, emphasizing the importance of embracing change and growth to understand the divine.
Blood and Race
Spengler believed that blood, or life-force, was the only force strong enough to challenge and overthrow money, which he saw as the dominant power of his time. When he spoke of blood, he didn't mean ethnicity, but rather the unity of people in their outlook and purpose. He saw the struggle against money as not just about capitalism versus socialism, but about creating a powerful societal order based on duty and thoughtfulness. Spengler emphasized that life itself, the force of existence, is what ultimately triumphs over money and any artificial constructs of the mind.
Democracy, Media and Money
Spengler argued that democracy serves the interests of money, with the media acting as its tool to operate within democratic systems. He saw democracy and plutocracy as interchangeable, viewing principles like equality and freedom as disguises for class struggle. To him, freedom meant rejecting tradition, and he believed that the press and elections ultimately served money's interests, regardless of ideological rhetoric. In Spengler's view, money had already triumphed through democracy, but its dominance would pave the way for the emergence of a powerful leader he called the Caesar. This leader would render money less influential, leading to the decline of money-dominated politics.
He noted that constitutional rights and voting required money, and when elections were controlled by political leaders, money determined their significance. Spengler saw this concentration of wealth as a natural consequence of mature democracies, not as corruption. Regarding the media, Spengler criticized its bombardment of information and its role in shaping public opinion to serve money's interests. He believed universal education fueled the demand for media control, ultimately leading to the rise of authoritarian leaders. He argued that only a force like blood, not Marxist critiques, could counter the power of money.
Prussian Socialism
Spengler argued that Germany, particularly Prussia, possessed socialist traits like creativity, discipline, concern for the common good, productivity, and self-sacrifice. He saw socialism as a system where achievement and talent, not wealth, determine one's rank in society, freeing individuals from economic tyranny.
He urged Germans to embrace Prussian socialism to break free from foreign governance, advocating for a socialism based on German values rather than Marxist ideology. Spengler contrasted English capitalism with Prussian socialism, highlighting the latter's emphasis on hierarchy and obedience rather than wealth accumulation. He praised historical figures like Frederick William I and Otto von Bismarck for embodying Prussian socialism through their emphasis on military discipline and social policies that complemented conservatism.
Spengler criticized Marxism for misunderstanding German socialism and adopting British ideas. He believed that Marxism aimed to have the working class seize wealth from capitalists to live a life of ease, calling it "the capitalism of the working class."
Instead, Spengler argued for a "true socialism" rooted in German values, where ownership wouldn't be forcibly taken but managed differently. He advocated for a system where ownership remains, but control shifts to public administration while preserving individual initiative and responsibility. This, he believed, would lead to a gradual transformation of workers and employers into economic functionaries within a corporatist framework, without traditional political parties or fixed-term elections.
Monarcho-Socialism
Spengler was a supporter of Socialist Monarchy and said:"Socialist monarchy—that is an idea that has slowly matured in the Faustian world and has long since reared its proper human protagonists. Authoritative socialism is by definition monarchistic. The most responsible position in this gigantic organism, in Frederick the Great’s words the role of “first servant of the state,” must not be abandoned to ambitious privateers. Let us envision a unified nation in which everyone is assigned his place according to his socialistic rank, his talent for voluntary self-discipline based on inner conviction, his organizational abilities, his work potential, consciousness, and energy, his intelligent willingness to serve the common cause. Let us plan for general work conscription, resulting in occupational guilds that will administrate and at the same time be guided by an administrative council, and not by a parliament. A fitting name for this administrative body, in a state were everyone has a job, be it army officer, civil servant, farmer, or miner, might well be “labor council.”

Relationships
Friends
Traditionalism - I love my culture...
Nationalism - ...and my country.
National Conservatism - The best carrier of my ideas!
National Liberalism - NatCon, but a lib.
National Libertarianism - Same as above, only libertarian. Bernier is pretty based.
Alt-Lite - He also does an excellent job!
Right-Wing Populism - National Populism is based.
Interculturalism - Huh, I guess that's one way to achieve cultural homogeneity in the long term.
Reactionary Liberalism - My other liberal pal.
Welfare Chauvinism - My welfarist pal.
Hindutva - Indian culture must be preserved.
Kemalism - Good job with creating a culturally homogeneous Turkey buddy!
Frenemies
Frankfurt School - Basically a communist version of me. I am skeptical of your internationalism, but anyone who seeks a rejuvenation of culture is a friend of mine!
Civic Nationalism - Not only as long they're legal, they also have to assimilate!
Religious Nationalism - Some of you aren't that bad, but your
fundamentalist variants are very cringe. Just because I want to preserve my religion doesn't mean that I have the right to persecute innocent people simply because they don't share my religious beliefs.
Linguistic Nationalism - Just like
Religious Nationalism, some of you aren't so bad, but your extreme variants are very cringe. Just because I want to preserve my language doesn't mean that I have the right to persecute innocent people just because they don't speak my language.
Ultranationalism - Usually has good ideas, but is also pretty damn crazy.
Fascism - Italo Balbo was based.
Reactionaryism - Also committed to protecting culture, but you still take it too far, and I don't like how some of your variants oppose nationalism as a product of the enlightment. Spengler was based though.
Enemies
Multiculturalism - A nation can't properly be a nation without the culture that represents it.
And some cultures are just better than others.Racial Nationalism &
Ethnonationalism - See, just because I wanna protect my culture doesn't mean I believe in this "pureblood" bullshit.
Nazism - The utterly deranged fanboy of the guys above who ruined the name of nationalism forever.
Anationalism - Language is a part of my culture!
Globalism - Gross!
Progressivism - You want to destroy my culture!
The Neighborstani culture - THE STANISTANI CULTURE IS BETTER THAN YOUR DISGUSTING NEIGHBORSTANI ONE!
