This week, there were elections in Germany and Norway, in which conservatives won. However, we have seen the rise of the far right in both Germany (Alternative for Germany) and Norway (Party of Progress). And earlier this year, we saw far-right wing parties do well in elections (most notably the National Front led by Marine Le Pen in France). These far-right wing parties claims to be against the European Union (as well as immigration). But can we trust them?
As highlighted a number of times here on Ne News, the far-right cannot be trusted with maintaining the nation-state, as many of these far-right wing parties are actually in favour of the European Union, and it is mostly left-wing groups that are pushing back against these superstates.
Take Norway for example, in which the right-wing parties (such as the Conservative Party) and the far-right parties (such as the Party of Progress) want to see Norway join the European Union, but is opposed by parties such as Socialist Left Party (https://www.neitileu.no/articles_in_foreign_languages/norway_eu_1961_1994). And in Germany, the Alternative for Germany is actually more pro-EU than they led people, with the Campaign Against Euro Federalism noting that they (the Alternative for Germany) are an establishment, pro-EU part.
It should be noted that there has been a strong history of the far-right and the European Union with the leader of the British Union of Fascists Oswald Moseley being the first to call for an European Union with Northern Africa to be included in this European Union (http://www.caef.org.uk/d140edtrl.html). And the National Party of Europe was a grouping of far-right wing Fascist movements in Europe including the Italian MSI, France's Jeune Movement and Germany's Reichspartei, who made the following quote from their Declaration on 4 March 1962 (http://www.caef.org.uk/whatsaid.html).
And while these far-right wing groups are wrapping themselves in the national flag, we have seen the people retrieve these flags from these far-right wing movements. For example, the 2002 Commonwealth Games in Manchester (in which a lot of black athletes won gold for England), a multicultural and multiracial England retrieved their national flag from these far-right wing groups (http://www.caef.org.uk/d64flag.html). And in the opinion of Ne News, a multicultural and multiracial Australia (ranging from the indigenous people to newly-arrived migrants) must retrieve the Australian flag from these far-right wing fascists who are using it for hate.
These far-right wing groups are all talk when it comes to protecting the nation-state, but can we trust them with protecting the nation-state? No, we cannot. It is mostly left-wing groups that are trying to preserve the nation-state, and it is actually the right (and in particular the far-right) who are pushing for these superstates.
So the next time a far-right wing political party talks about preserving the nation-state, you might want to question this claim as they (the far-right) may be against the nation state but won't admit to it.

Of course, it is not limited to these mainland parties, with many far-right wing groups in the United Kingdom (which voted to leave the European Union last year) supporting the European Union. Take this quote from the League Sentinel, the journal of the far-right League of St George in Summer 2000 (http://www.caef.org.uk/whatsaid.html)
We now declare with pride our European communion of blood and of spirit that Europe a Nation shall forthwith be made a fact. This means that Europe shall have a common government for the purposes of foreign policy, defence, economic policy, finance and scientific development...
Our Europe, a National Europe, will be founded on the deepest sense of patriotism embracing brothers and sisters of the same stock and a 3,000 years tradition of European culture. We invite all to join in this struggle for the future of our common race and nation.It is not just Europe where the far-right wing is rising, as this is happening throughout the Western World. Here in Australia, we have seen the rise of the far-right, most notably the rise of far-right wing politician Pauline Hanson and her One Nation party. They claim to be against these superstates, but there may have been silence from Hanson and her party in regards to the Brexit vote last year. So it is possible that Pauline Hanson and One Nation are actually in favour of these superstates. And in regards to groups such as Reclaim Australia, United Patriots Front and True Blue Crew, they are another instance of the far-right moving in.
And while these far-right wing groups are wrapping themselves in the national flag, we have seen the people retrieve these flags from these far-right wing movements. For example, the 2002 Commonwealth Games in Manchester (in which a lot of black athletes won gold for England), a multicultural and multiracial England retrieved their national flag from these far-right wing groups (http://www.caef.org.uk/d64flag.html). And in the opinion of Ne News, a multicultural and multiracial Australia (ranging from the indigenous people to newly-arrived migrants) must retrieve the Australian flag from these far-right wing fascists who are using it for hate.
