Neoliberalism and the Washington-Brussels powerstructure are in unequivocal danger of collapse when a people as culturally liberal and economically neoliberal as the Dutch begin showing signs of rebellion.
A rebellion which stands to alter the political landscape of the whole of Europe and perhaps much further afield.
The Netherlands, despite what the government has done legislatively, has a history of radical political twists and turns. The country was the only nation to back European federalism when the EU was coming together under Jean Monnet’s watchful eye in the 1960s. Then in 2005 the Dutch public took a sudden turn and rejected the European Constitution by a near 62% majority in a referendum.
Now, despite decades of ‘green’ policymaking and strong records on animal rights (the nation even has a political party expressly for protecting animals) the Dutch are once again turning on their neoliberal ruling class.
After several years of clashes with farmers, ever tightening regulation, and aloofness from the urban elite in The Hague, the Dutch public is beginning to fight back. Now, with Prime Minister Mark Rutte announcing he will be leaving politics before the upcoming snap election, the political landscape in one of the most reliably globalist states is set to change, radically.
Rght wing parties, that is, those to the right of Mark Rutte and his VVD, are now polling with a slight majority. Nationalists in the FvD are averaging roughly 5%, the national-conservative (and zionist) Ja21 is polling a comfortably 7%, Geert Wilders PVV is averaging roughly 13% and the star of the show, the Farmer-Citizens Movement (BBB) is polling a staggering 27% on average.
This theoretical coalition of ‘radical’ right wing parties has no greater star than the BBB. The Farmer-Citizens movement, led by the widowed agricultural journalist Carline van der Plas, fancies itself as a party which speaks for not only the farmers for which it was founded to serve, but all of those who are forgotten by the Dutch ruling elite.
The party’s platform is an eclectic mix of positions, many of which have been added as the party has grown at a rapid pace. The BBB is against European federalism, but favours remaining in the EU for the purposes of trade. The party wants to send Ukraine F-16s, but also makes nosies about reducing ‘foreign entanglement’. The social cornerstones are planks against restrictions of freedom of speech and a pledge to prevent racial discrimination, including against the native Dutch (though they do not use this term).
In the final analysis the Farmer-Citizen Movement (BBB) is serving as a protest vote which is allowing the vast bulk of the native Dutch to express their discontent with their political system, all while avoiding being painted as ‘radicals’ by the political mainstream.
These developments serve as a reinforcement for the broader and very manifest trends which bode well for the Nationalist right. White people are looking for solutions to the worsening situations in their countries.
The peoples of White countries all over the world, from Italy to Sweden, the US to Australia, are looking for alternatives to the neoliberal order they currently labour under.
These civic-nationalist and pseudo-nationlist parties will be unable to deliver solutions to the systemic problems we face. Meloni is failing miserably in Italy, the Polish ‘conservative’ government is importing hundreds of thousands of racial foreigners, and the Swedish coalition government is naturalizing foreigners at as quick a pace as they can manage.
As these conservative backstops rise to power and fail to resolve the issues which plague the West nationalists must stand ready to answer the calls of our people. We must continue building our own parties, institutions, groups and networks.
