We live in a country where people who fashion themselves ethnonationalists and Nazis publicly were fighting in the streets with literal communists. It is not too far off, I think, to compare the state of affairs in the United States to those which obtained in Wiemar Germany. And it's not just the United States.
The same populist outrage that gave us Donald Trump also gave us Brexit. A revolutionary spirit, I think, has spread across the United States and Europe. It is this revolutionary spirit in Europe that is leading to the rise of the Black Bloc (anarcho-communists) even there, as well as to the rise in popularity of political parties like the Golden Dawn in Greece and the National Front in France.
And even here in the United States, when you listened to the voice of the American people in the 2016 presidential election, what else did you hear but populist outrage? It was populist outrage that fueled the rise of Bernie Sanders. It was populist outrage that ultimately closed to door to Hillary Clinton. It was populist outrage that gave us Donald Trump.
[Bernie Sanders, we should note, considered it ridiculous that those who supported him in the primaries should turn to Trump after Clinton obtained the democratic nomination. Be not deceived: the same populist outrage that led people to support Bernie Sanders also ultimately gave us Donald Trump. I read somewhere once that 10% of former Bernie Sanders supporters voted for Donald Trump in the general election.]
All of this leads to the question: what has the people outraged? What has stoked their fiery anger? Adolf Hitler, I think, diagnosed the problem all too well (see the video below) in 1932: the subversion of national and local interests by multinational agents. [Granted, he probably had the Jews in mind; but if you replace "Jews" with "the executives of multinational corporations and predatory capitalists and bankers, then what Adolf Hitler says is perfectly true, and his solution is the appropriate one, i.e., the reaffirmation of national (and "local," may I add) interests over the interests of multinational agents.]
If I might use a word of Alex Jones, the problem is globalism. If I might use another term, the problem is neoliberalism or global capitalism. It is this which has wreaked havoc on the poor and working classes over the past few decades. It is this which is enshrined into the very heart and soul of the European Union, which is precisely why Britain rejected it. The four freedoms of the European Union ("free movement of goods, capital, services, and labour" (I here quote Wikipedia)) have ultimately served, not the poor and working classes, but the corporate and capitalist elites.
For decades now, wages have been stagnant. The economic gains have almost entirely gone to the economic elites. The wealth and income inequality is likely the highest it's been since the Gilded Age. We live in the richest country on the face of the earth, and yet half of all wage earners make $30,000 or less per year. The jobs have fled because of outsourcing deals like NAFTA. Once prosperous cities like Detroit are now depressed because the manufacturing jobs that once sustained the people there have been shipped out of the country. Housing costs have risen massively, at least in part, because foreign investors have purchased land and, instead of building affordable housing, have opted to build luxury housing that few can afford.
The reason why we are in this situation is because the system has been rigged to favor the rich and the powerful rather than the poor and working classes, not only here, but abroad as well (mainly, at least in the US, because the economic elites have bought off the politicians).
It is this which fueled the popularity of Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump (who was actually, in many ways, to the left of Hillary Clinton on economic policy, at least in terms of his campaign rhetoric; how many presidents since Jimmy Carter have spoken of "fair trade" as opposed to "free trade"?).
But this, of course, does not entirely explain the popularity of Donald Trump (to the extent that he was popular), nor does it explain the visceral repulsion that so many Americans feel towards Europe. It is true that Sweden is one of the happiest countries on the face of the earth (at least, if you go by self-reporting); yet, you would have to be blind not to recognize that the massive problems caused by their embrace of mass immigration (especially mass muslim immigration), and this is true not only of Sweden, but of Europe in general, immigration which is being advocated, not by the right, but by the left wing partisans of those countries.
One would also be blind not to recognize the fact that cultural marxists and left-wing identitarians, here in America (and likely in Europe as well) have overtaken our cultural institutions, including both the university and the media (the corporate media's failure to condemn Antifa and the black bloc in the strongest possible terms, and their comparison of Antifa to American soldiers in WWII really does speak for itself, doesn't it?), and not only that, but the democratic party as well. The democratic party, having abandoned their traditional role as advocates of left wing economic policy, have very little to distinguish them from the republicans other than their embrace of identity politics.
It is this, I think, which has left such a bad taste in the mouths of those who listened to Bernie Sanders. Though he said many good and true things, those good and true things, much like Sweden, have been infected by cultural marxism, a cultural marxism which refuses to see a difference between Islamic values and the liberal values of the United States constitution, a cultural marxism which seeks to divide us up by race and gender, even while it denies that either of these things are real, a cultural marxism which seeks to upset and overthrow our traditional cultural values and beliefs. We see this very clearly in the relationship of the media and the modern university to Antifa.
Part of the outrage which led people to vote for Donald Trump is the social divisions caused by organizations like Black Lives Matter, as well as the apparent demonization of white people (dare I say, outright anti-white racism), especially CIS straight white males, that has become rampant in our society.
The answer, the solution to these problems is National Socialism.
Against the domination of the world economy by multinational agents, our creed must be BLUT UND BODEN (Blood and Soil)! And against the cultural marxists, our creed must be EINE NATION, EIN VOLK (One Nation, One People)!
In my view, the only reasonable solution to the problems we face today is, yes, to embrace left wing economic policies, much like those in the Nordic countries. We must embrace a "socialism" (though it's not so much socialism as Keynesian economics) which puts the interests of the poor and working classes, as well as the interests of the nation as a whole, over the interests of multinational corporations, capitalists and banks.
But it must be a "socialism" which is fiercely nationalist, which defiantly rejects the agenda of the social revolutionaries, and reaffirms our national and cultural values. It must be a nationalism which looks primarily to the interests of the citizens of the nation, not of the entire world. It must be a nationalism which reaffirms the importance of national borders, and recognizes that when these are not respected, the lives of the native populations are adversely affected. It must be a "socialism" which recognizes that shipping in foreigners, especially undocumented foreigners, to compete with the native labor force is qualitatively no different from shipping those jobs overseas.
And what's more: I think that most people would likely embrace this kind of national socialism.
Hail victory!
