Going Global: Joining Forces with the European New Right

In recent years Taylor has sought alliances with members of several populist and New Right groups in Europe that share his concern for white identity, ethnic nationalism, and preserving white-majority populations in areas of the globe where they now exist and are demographically threatened by large influxes of nonwhite immigrants. He has hosted on his website and his annual conferences European supporters of France’s National Front, Britain’s UKIP, Austria’s Freedom Party, Germany’s Alternativ für Deutschland (Alternative for Germany, AfD), and the Flemish national party Vlaams Belang (Flemish Interest, VB). Taylor himself has traveled extensively in Europe and given speeches and interviews in both French and English in support of ethnonationalism and white-identity politics.

Taylor seems to have a special affinity for the French New Right author Guillaume Faye, three of whose books he reviewed favorably in the pages of American Renaissance. Taylor clearly hopes his own ethnonationalism and white identitarianism will go global and eagerly seeks allies among like-minded Europeans. “Racially conscious Americans,” he wrote in a review of Faye’s Why We Fight, “invariably see European identitarians as allies in a worldwide struggle.”43 In the future this struggle is likely to become only more intense, Taylor predicts, as immigrants from nonwhite, Third World countries continue to migrate in huge numbers to the more prosperous white nations. Like Faye, he believes the white people of the planet need to overcome what he sees as their open-borders insanity and suicidal “ethnomasochism” (Faye’s term), and join in the fight for their racial, cultural, and demographic survival.

Over the last three decades, Taylor has assiduously dedicated his energies to this struggle. He has been one of the dominant intellectual forces on America’s radical Right. He may well have been as central to structuring the fledgling movement in the 1990s as the late William F. Buckley Jr. was in the 1950s and 1960s in structuring post–World War II American conservatism. The growing Alt Right movement in America today owes a great deal to Taylor’s past efforts.
