France's extremist alliance
France's extremist alliance Royal's success brings radicals together in face of common enemy Paris: It sounds like a bad joke, but this is the gloomy reality. France' far-right nationalist politician is pursuing the black electoral vote. Jean-Marie Le Pen, currently 78-years-old, is immersed in what will undoubtedly prove to be his last election campaign for the presidency. And the new tactic adopted by the historic leader of the new French nationalism is "moderation." Le Pen's campaign is primarily directed at the black community and toward the immigrant community in general. One of his election posters, therefore, depicts a dark skinned woman. He even made a covenant with Dieudonné M'bala, a black "comedian" who primarily excels in making anti-Semitic statements. This month senior members of Le Pen's party, including his wife, attended one of Dieudonne's performances, after the "comedian" had joined a party conference that received high media coverage. Will the two "extremes touch" as the political saying in France goes? Of course not. Judging by the signs, this is a highly calculated overture between the two, who among other things built their careers on anti-Jewish statements. Anti-Jewish Le Pen called the gas chambers "a small historic detail" and minimized the cruelty of the Nazi occupation of France, which dispatched tens of thousands of Jews to their deaths. Dieudonné called Jews "the worst type of swindlers" and warned against "the Jews who manned all the strategic posts in France. He called the ceremonies marking 60 years to the liberation of Auschwitz "remembrance pornography." What does Le Pen think of the anti-Semitic jokes made by the "comedian"? "They could be funny. No subject should be exempt from criticism and irony." He added, "Those who make the most fun of the Jews are the Jews themselves." Of course the Jews can be laughed at; even anti-Semitism can be made fun of. It all depends on who is telling the joke. Woody Allen made a career out of telling jokes about the Jews and he even got an Oscar for it. Le Pen built an entire career on xenophobia and anti-Semitic slips of the tongue, and he received more and more of the electoral vote. Everyone has their own humor and audience. The French public is eagerly awaiting the two-act play at the polls on April 22nd and on May 6th - the first and second rounds of the presidential elections. Le Pen, a veteran in the political arena, hopes to repeat his successful performance of 2002, when he made it to the second round at the expense of a left-wing candidate. This time commentators believe that he has a chance of doing so at the expense of a right-wing candidate, Nicolas Sarkozy, and to make it to the second round against leftist candidate Ségolène Royal. At present the Right seems to be embroiled in much more conflict than the Left. Le Pen is dreaming of a head-on clash with the popular leader, and believes he will achieve better results than the 18 percent he received when contending against Jacques Chirac in the previous elections. Le Pen, therefore, is in need of every vote and is thus eying the immigrants. Even if they don't vote for him, the "Openness" is supposed to bring closer the votes of those who previously feared voting for the "radical" Le Pen and who may agree to vote for the more "moderate" version. Le Pen is convinced he will have the last laugh. source: http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7...349396,00.html

This "alliance" with Dieudonné is due to the influence of the new adviser of the FN, the Marxist writer Alain Soral.

Anyway although I still support the FN as it is the only serious nationalist movement in France, I really don't want them to win elections. Le Pen's victory would just mean a Republican dictatorship, pseudo-nationalist and pro-integrationnist. I don't see any problem in making strategic alliances with non-Europeans - like Le Pen formerly did with Arab nationalists or like some French right-wing movements are currently doing with Kemi Seba, a Black supremacist leader ("we have the same enemies, we want the same things : no racial mixing, Black people in Africa and Europe to the Europeans therefore we can work together"). But I can't tolerate this : Quote:

that´s right.i´m sorry,i wanted to say "he".."i hope he wins the elections" Thanks,for the correction Theobald: Well, this could be another Le Pen's tactic to make nationalism grow... But it is "too much" in my opinion. We are losing our soul with such strategies. I don´t think that way friend. Le Pen,for a long time,that has some niggers and jews in the party,and arabs,and they are french nationalists and they love French. If "he" wins the election,then many immigrants will leave France,but of course many will stay,then i will ask you, that the solution to this immigrants?You cannot expel them all...then you have no reason not to make this kind of strategie Au revoir!! |

To sum it up since the end of the 19th century and the rise of an ethnic nationalism with Maurras and Barrès (anti-integrationnist), as opposed to a left republican nationalism inspired by 1789 ideals (pro-integrationnist), there has always been two different factions inside French nationalism. And Le Pen has managed to unite them into the National Front, which partly explains his electoral successes. Which also explains why you can find everything in the FN, from "patriotic" Jews and West Indians to hardcore ethnic nationalists. The solution ? Of course currently we can't expel them all. But I'd rather live with 5 millions of Ethnic French in a reduced territory than in a multicural Nation of 60 millions of "Black-Blanc-Beur French" wearing the tricolore flag and singing the Marseillaise. Jean Raspail explains it better than me : Quote:
That's what I consider as a solution. I don't believe anymore in electoral ways. However the FN remains an important instrument to propagate nationalist ideas. Quote:
