UN-MIXING THE MELTING POT: RIGHT-WING DISSIDENCE IN THE US

by Nils Wegner

Author’s note: This article was written for the December issue of the German New Right’s bi-monthly magazine Sezession published by the Institut für Staatspolitik (State Policy Institute). The article aims to give the German audience, which for the most part does not even know an American “real” right exists, a basic overview of the AltRight in a first attempt to close ranks. Due to length limitations, some simplifications and omissions could not be avoided.  I apologize in advance for these. Translated by the author.

On October 31st, 2015, while the average American attended Halloween parties that had been arranged weeks in advance, the Arlington/VA based National Policy Institute (NPI) held its annual conference. This time at the prestigious National Press Club in Washington, D.C.—little more than 400 yards away from the White House.

THE CONTINUATION OF GERMANY

What follows is the official English translation of an inspiring speech given on January 21st by Götz Kubitschek, a leader of LEGIDA (Leipzig gegen die Islamisierung des Abendlandes/ Leipzig against the Islamization of the West), an offshoot of the Dresden-based PEGIDA movement that has been making the headlines in recent months. The translation is by Nils Wegner.

Good evening Leipzig!

My name is Götz Kubitschek, it is my honour to speak to you tonight, and before answering the question for what we have been demonstrating tonight I want to stress three points:

What we are doing tonight is something perfectly normal. We are worried about our homeland's future, and we take to the streets because parliaments and editorial offices do not care about our worries.

What we are doing tonight is something courageous. It's not quite a piece of cake to make head against Leipzig's violent Leftist thugs.
