White Racial Nationalism
The racial nationalists' ideal oscillates between brutish authoritarianism
and vulgar fascism in service of White male supremacy. Unilateral militarism
abroad and repression at home are utilized to force compliance. Social
problems are caused by uncivilized people of color, lower-class foreigners,
and dual-loyalist Jews, who must all be exposed and neutralized.
Samuel Francis, the prototypical racial nationalist, writes columns
warning against attempts to "wipe out traditional White, American, Christian,
and Western Culture," which he blames on multiculturalism. Francis's
solutions: "Americans who want to conserve their civilization need to
get rid of elites who want to wreck it, but they also need to kick out
the vagrant savages who have wandered across the border, now claim our
country as their own, and impose their cultures upon us. If there are
any Americans left in San Jose, they might start taking back their country
by taking back their own city....You don't find statues to Quetzalcoatl
in Vermont."
