National-revolutionary (or NR) is a term which designates a form of nationalist movement with ideologically syncretic bases, a nebula formed of nationalisms strongly distinct from traditional nationalism, in the sense that they are more involved in the social question, geopolitically involved. The political references are multiple and sometimes selective, strongly characterized by eclecticism.
A heterogeneous movement, its tendencies are not uniform and do not necessarily have the same ideological heritage, as their differences can be marked. There is therefore no orthodoxy specific to this movement but a multitude of tendencies. The national-revolutionary movement is not an ideology but a grouping of tendencies based on similar principles.
The term national-revolutionary groups together movements characterized by neo-nationalism, very often non-reactionary, a catch-all populism, a deep hostility to liberalism, a total rejection of globalization, an ethnic nationalism or cultural nationalism, who support identitarian politics, a strong anti-Zionism and hostility against foreign hegemony.
Generally, the term groups together so-called the "third way" of the nationalist movements.
Common denominators
The term revolutionary nationalism broadly refers to a form of populist nationalism with an identitarianism linked to the idea of localism, protectionism, cultural conservatism, social justice, self-sufficiency, anti-imperialism, anti-Zionism,[1] and opposition to globalization, protection of traditions and customs and also emphasizes the idea of preserving the concept of the nation-state as an antidote to the «globalist» outpost, in order to guarantee in all countries the maximum social well-being of the population and absolute respect for the integrity of the environment.[2] The supporters of national-revolutionary school see in liberalism, materialism, consumer society, mass immigration and globalization the main causes of the social decline of the nation and of cultural identity, they reject liberal capitalism, classical conservatism, atlanticism, communism and more generally, the classical right and left in general.
Although these movements are sometimes extremely different, they are recognizable by similar principles:
