'If European ethnic nationalism can be revived, it means the end of Washington’s European empire.'
By Dr. Paul Craig Roberts: I raise the question in the title because the Russian media looks
askance at what it labels “a rise in the popularity of right-wing
forces” in “recent elections in three EU countries.” The
Russian media describes as “right-wing” the awakened ethnic
nationalities–the French of France, the Germans of Germany–as
“right-wing.” But President Putin of Russia describes Russia as Russian, even though the Federation is comprised of different nationalities. Putin
stresses that whatever the ethnicities of the Russian Federation, all
are Russian. This is likely the case as the non-Russian ethnicities
have been part of Russia for a very long time, whereas in the West the
newly-arriving immigrant-invaders are proving to be unassimilable
hostiles.
Putin doesn’t regard Russian ethnicity, an ethnicity extended to the
Muslim provinces of the Federation such as Chechnya, as right-wing. So
why does Russia regard European ethnic nationality “right-wing?”
The answer, I think, is that the American, European and British
left-wing have conflated an ethnic consciousness that constitutes a
national state with Nazism. The Nazis were a socialist party, not a right-wing one.
