Having some views on patriotism, etc. that are rather unique for an anarchist (thought not for most people), I'm particularly bothered by these so-called "anarcho"-nationalists that are trying to take advantage of the increase in interest in anarchism. The leaders of this fake "anarchism" are Keith Preston (USA), Troy Southgate (UK), Richard Hunt (UK), Peter Topfer (Germany), Hans Cany (France), and Flavio Goncalves (Portugal). What is worrying is that Keith Preston at least is trying to give his ideas legitimacy by hooking up to the tendency to bridge the gap between the libertarian "right" and "left" (as Kevin Carson is trying to do). It's all very fishy. Websites trying to link Bakunin and Julius Evola, Proudhon and Alain de Benoist, Kropotkin and Otto Strasser. Strange shit.
Any thoughts? It seems to have grown out of hippy-dippy "anarchism", at least in the UK - Richard Hunt, Southgate's comrade-in-arms, was part of that "Green Anarchist" scene. But elsewhere...? Where the hell does this crap come from?
