Is national socialism resurgent in Europe?

[The Old Nouveau Riche]

It seems to me that national socialism is resurgent in Europe. Nationalist and populist parties are being elected across Europe, ethnic nationalists are gaining strength, and Germany is growing in strength again - this will be prefect for its inevitable return to national socialism. The ethnic and racial consciousness of the common people is returning, and the liberal ideological murkiness is fading away. Even famously Marxist Sweden has had a racialist party become its third largest.

The seeds of national socialism are being replanted in Europe, and the ground is being set for a popular revolution!


Your thoughts?

[Dejanic]

You're sort of hurting your own cause, right? Nationalist parties like UKIP, Swedish Democrats, the French National Front, have fought for years to "prove" that they are democratic nationalists, not racists or Nazis; and then you, a Nazi, come here and tell us that parties like this are part of a "National Socialist resurgent", that deep down, they are racist and fascist parties. A good friend of mine is actually a member of the Swedish Democrats, he has a black mixed race son, whilst I disagree with the party he supports, I wouldn't call him a member of a national socialist resurgence.

I hope more people like you come along, as all you're doing is hurting the nationalist cause across Europe, and helping the Left.

[Meridiani Planum]

Unfortunately, what you say is largely true. However, I think that this will spur a resurgence in liberalism. I don't think that Europe will simply become national socialist as a whole. People of good conscience will wake up and keep the nationalists from gaining any real power.

The things this person has been posting seem very troll like in nature.

Oh please, if you even had an ounce of understanding as to what National Socialism really is, you would know that these two-penny, half-penny Far Right parties and movements in Europe fall far short of the mark of being labelled "National Socialist". They're populist and nationalistic, simple as that.

Because the people are tired with our actual and incompetent leader, they rush for the easy solution : Extreme parties who promise them a new "golden age".IE, in France, they plan on cutting immigration.When most of the hard jobs are taken by immigrants.

Quite. They are no different than the pathetic wannabe socialists who pretend to hold the ideals of Marx whilst taking parts in democracy. *spits*
Europe has had its day. And on this day the flower of its idealists murdered by a war where one fought the other. All that is left now are wannabes and children looking back at the times of yore and pretending, like little children do that they too can but for a moment be gods.

Well what do you know, for the first time in a long time, a Communist and a Fascist are in agreement.

Sigh. Most modern 'nationalist' parties that you're refering to are doing their upmost to avoid being associated with National Socialist movements. (Indeed, UKIP has actively sought to suspend and distance themselves from such unpleasant individuals) http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-27151509 The chances of a National Socialist revolution anytime within the next twenty years is close to zero and while I do see a rise in nationalism, I DON'T see a return of National Socialism in Europe

[Arcanda]

I don't see a return of anything.No communist or national-socialist revolt will take place anywhere in the western hemisphere, we're just past that.

[Nazi Flower Power]

What are you doing here? I thought I was the NSDAP's official ambassador to NSG!

On a more serious note, Germany's not going to return to Nazism any time soon. People are still aware of how badly it ended last time.

[Costa Fierro]

There isn't a national socialist revolution about to occur. Times of economic strife tend to make the general populace disillusioned with mainstream parties so they turn to more extremist parties.

Except if you're the Front National and you make it to the presidential runoff vote in the 2002 French presidential election. But that was a rare occurrence.

[Hanchu]

Hell no

Reminds me of the good old days back in '39. Why did hitler have to go up against the Soviet Union anyway? They could have just shared the continent and been done with it.

Indeed. The Soviet Union even wanted to join the Tripartite Pact but Hitler just decided to blow them off, then invade them in '41.

Stalin borrowed the lawnmower and refused to return it

Well to be fair. Have you seen the size of the Soviet lawns? You try mowing all the grass between kiev and Vladivostok with just one mower. And see how long it takes you. And that's without a mildly annoying neighbor breathing down your neck all the time bugging you about jews.

I feel really bad for finding that comment hilariously funny.

He thought they were weak, and also ideology (Lebensraum, anti-Slav, anti-Communist, etc.).

[The balkens]

no. No. NO!

NOT THAT! NOT AGAIN!

[Murkwood]

National Socialist? No. Populist Nationalist? You bet.
