Quotes about Ultra-nationalism

George Orwell

Antisemitism comes more naturally to people of Conservative tendency, who suspect Jews of weakening national morale and diluting the national culture. Neo-Tories and political Catholics are always liable to succumb to antisemitism, at least intermittently.

Ku Klux Klan

One Hundred Percent Americanism

The hypocricy of this slogan is almost incredible. Most of the actions of the KKK over the years have violated the spirit and the laws of America. They are opposed to many of the Bill of Rights. There was a time, before the 1970s, where members literally got away with murder in the South. When Americas laws were enforced and KKK members who broke the law were jailed and sued for monetary damages, the Klan has a very tiny membership and is constantly under survelience.

George Orwell

As soon as fear, hatred, jealousy and power worship are involved, the sense of reality becomes unhinged. And ... the sense of right and wrong becomes unhinged also. There is no crime, absolutely none, that cannot be condoned when ‘our’ side commits it. Even if one does not deny that the crime has happened, even if one knows that it is exactly the same crime as one has condemned in some other case, even if one admits in an intellectual sense that it is unjustified — still one cannot feel that it is wrong. Loyalty is involved, and so pity ceases to function.

Yosuke Matsuoka

Fascism will develop in Japan through the people’s will. It will come out of love for the Emperor.

Benito Mussolini

Fascism is a religious concept.

Richard Spencer

Trump has opened the door to nationalism in this country — not American nationalism but the white race. Once that door has fully swung open, you can’t close it.

George Orwell

The nationalist does not go on the principle of simply ganging up with the strongest side. On the contrary, having picked his side, he persuades himself that it is the strongest, and is able to stick to his belief even when the facts are overwhelmingly against him.

Jose Manuel Barroso

If we say leaders are incompetent, we are going to fuel extremist, populist, xenophobic and ultra-nationalist parties.

James Burnham

Fascism without shirts

Fascists were variously described as “brown shirts” or “black shirts” at the time.

August Hoffman

Deutschland uber alles. [Germany over all.]

Vuk Stefanovic Karadzic

The Serbs have the greatest people on the planet.

He even claimed that Jesus was a Serb, demonstrating an ego and unrealistic, romantic chauvinism that prevailed even into the 21st century.

George Orwell

By "nationalism" I mean the habit of identifying oneself with a single nation or other unit, placing it beyond good and evil and recognising no other duty than that of advancing its interests.

Noam Chomsky

In Europe there's an dangerous growth of ultra xenophobia which is pretty threatening to any one who remembers the history of Europe... and an attack on the remnants of the welfare state. It's hard to interpret the austerity-in-the-midst-of-recession policy as anything other than attack on the social contract.

Sasha Polakow-Suransky

Too many people on the European left scoff at nationalism, mistaking their own distaste for evidence that the phenomenon no longer exists or is somehow illegitimate. If 2016 and 2017 have proven anything, it is that this sort of visceral nationalism, or loyalty to one’s in-group, still exists and is not going away. Those who dismiss this sort of national sentiment as backward and immature do so at their own peril. What the globalists of the transnational elite miss is that not everyone has the luxury of leaving. Those who don’t have the education and skills to travel abroad often resent those who do. To compensate, they identify strongly with the place they come from and support politicians who promise to protect them from both genuine and imaginary threats. They do not have the luxury of voting with their feet, but their protest is felt at the polls.

Vittorio Alfieri

For you, O Italy, hatred of the French, under whatever standard or mask they present themselves, must be the single and fundamental basis of your political existence.

The American founding fathers were very aware of this kind of enmity between nations throughout Europe and thought that there would be no end to European rivalry, hatred, and conflict. Such concern influenced the Constitution and early American foreign policy.
