Portrait of an activist A long article by Tim Johnstone - almost 3,500 words - has been posted at Welf Herfurth’s New Right Australia/New Zealand blog on Welf himself. This “standard-issue, 21st century German nationalist” has led an interesting life, including a stint in One Nation Party politics trying to “break the barriers to left-right thinking, attract people of different political camps, and unite them on the issues that concern them.” After the Australian federal election of 1998, when One Nation “won a million votes but not one seat” and began to self-destruct, Welf withdrew from the political coalface. Instead, he:-
To add to the complexity of Welf’s thinking, there is this on the German nationalist model:-
That will give you an idea of the man. But it’s very much better to read Tim Johnstone’s whole article. I will close with a few words of my own ... Anyone, absolutely anyone, who begins to see the world as it is, to wake up from the decades of political indolence and complacency and grow disgusted at the present and fearful of the future, anyone like that has begun the process of detachment from the standard liberal left/right narrative. For there’s no redress to be found there. Such a one will quickly come to unfamiliar places peopled by original and interesting thinkers - not standard issue at all - like Welf. If the labels on the views there are at first too challenging, well, keep on listening. Expand your field of tolerance. Discovering new ideas includes discovering old ones you only thought you knew. Try them all. Glut yourself. If we ever succeed in breaking open and pulling down our liberal Bastille, a new left and a new right will be founded. In this new dispensation I feel that Welf would be drawn decisively leftward. I also think he might turn out to be a pillar of the new political Establishment, while someone like me would likely remain a rebel by constitution. But none of us can know unless we actually get there, something we can only do sans misunderstanding and division. Comments:2

There was at least something good in Karl Marx http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=50724 Especially after the heading “Racism is normal?” there is useful information about ingroup-outgroup views in the left and the right. Ignore the predictable PC in the article when evaluating information: http://www.frontpagemag.com/Articles/Read.aspx?GUID={4A711AA5-5283-4FFF-AC10-226D493CF542} Post a comment:

I disagree with Welf on some points, but he has many useful ideas and pieces of information. Also, if some points have utility, but have drawbacks, you can create new applications. In that page there are good reading at least to the sexual minority article.
