Völkisch nationalism

Uncommon card · No. 83879

Völkisch nationalism (German: Völkischer Nationalismus [ˈfœlkɪʃɐ natsi̯onaˈlɪsmʊs], lit. 'Folkish nationalism') is a German far-right, ultranationalist, ethno-nationalist, and/or racial nationalist ideology. It assumes the essentialist concept of Völker (lit. "peoples") or Volksgruppen (lit. "ethnic groups"), which are described as closed ethnic-biological and ethnic-cultural units within a hierarchy of such populations. Völkisch nationalism influenced Japanese minzoku nationalism. At times, Völkisch nationalism was a broad and predominant ideological view in Central Europe, represented in numerous nationalist, typically explicitly antisemitic and other racist associations of all kinds with many publications and well-known personalities. It differentiates itself from the Völkisch movement by being a more vague and not inherently antisemitic ideology. In the 21st century, particularly in Germany, ethnopluralism is viewed as standing in the same tradition as Völkisch nationalism.
