The endgame of Civic Nationalism

Excerpt from my Book "Right wing Regime change"

This is a chapter of my book “Right wing regime change”. I draft a right wing revolutionary strategy following Gramsci, Althusser, Sharp and others. Part of the book criticizes wrong strategies like militancy and what I call “parliamentary Patriotism”. This chapter is belonging to the analysis of the latter.

The move to power through massive electoral success is a game against time. Demographics are working against the right-wing party. Its voters are dying off. Migration and birth rates are alienating the electorate and reducing their target group from election to election. The reaction of populists with no ideological convictions to this development is revealing. Their blind pragmatism demands “adaptation to demographic reality” and the abandonment of the right-wing main goal for the “good of the party”.

The principle of maximizing votes forces the development of a pseudo-right-wing, liberal “civic nationalism”. Identity and the concept of the people have to be increasingly diluted and softened so as not to alienate “new voters”. In the end, they no longer describe an ethnocultural community, but an ideological interest group.

This is the only way right-wing populists can continue to celebrate electoral success after the demographic tipping point. Traditionally liberal countries such as the USA, England and Belgium are already showing the way: as soon as the ethnic, Islamic vote has become the determining factor in a region, even “conservative” parties make their peace with the situation and put up migrants and Muslims as candidates. In the final phase of the population bulge, right-wing populists will also try to win migrant votes with socialist (economic crisis), libertarian (corona policy), geopolitical (Russia, Middle East conflict) and socio-political (gender ideology) issues.

Initially, this tactic was justified as an exception and localized. In cities such as Berlin and Vienna, a multicultural, “post-ethnic” agenda had to be pursued and “migrant protest voices” had to be opened up, as otherwise one would “never win again”. This exceptional detour of winning migrant votes is the only way to “come to power”.

Once the “imported” votes had been tactically won, one could still work on “exporting” the foreign infiltration. But once voters have been won, they also determine the party line. You don't want to lose them, as that could mean losing your own job. The pragmatism of parliamentary patriotism is exposed by the example of the ethnic vote. The path is already mapped out.

First, population exchange and replacement migration are omitted as topics and only “illegal immigration”, criminality and social abuse are addressed. The next step is to shelve criticism of Islamization, as otherwise “conservative” Muslims would be alienated as voters. At the same time, domestic voters are made to believe that they are still working for the main right-wing goal of opposing population exchange. A series of “pragmatic” steps under the dogma of maximizing votes lead to the abandonment of the main right-wing goal and to the betrayal of indigenous voters. Step by step, the main goal of reaching the “mountain top” is being shifted downwards. In the end, parliamentary patriotism, taken to its logical conclusion, leads the right-wing camp into the abyss of population replacement.

It is in the spineless nature of the populist that he adapts to the worsening situation every day without pursuing a long-term strategic goal. Instead of changing the situation, the situation changes him. In doing so, parliamentary patriotism betrays the hopes of millions of desperate locals that are pinned on it.

The “pragmatic” submission to the prevailing ideology and the “dynamic” adaptation to the demographic situation is one of the greatest dangers for our people. The longer this false guiding strategy is pursued, the more of our scarce resources will be wasted. Thousands of years of life, millions in assets and entire generations of politicians have already been wasted on right-wing populism. The political effect has failed to materialize.

When looked at unsparingly, parliamentary patriotism therefore turns out to be “right-wing occupational therapy” until the demographic facts are fully realized. It is no wonder that the democracy simulation has integrated this guiding strategy into its system.
