I have been forced by circumstances to pay more attention to what has been happening in
I believe my surprise is due to the fact that Welf is a recent Anarchist, a few years back he joined the National-Anarchist International discussion list almost out of curiosity, maybe to check out the sort of loonies that might wander about over there and what the Hell did they stand for, I remember that at first Welf’s participation was shy, more due to the discussion of the quality of several beer brands (as you should know beer is a very important component of National-Anarchist ideology, the same goes for ‘strawberry’ red wine from the island of Pico for the Portuguese N-A) and comment on some international news.
As time went by Welf realized that what we stood for where the same ideas he himself defended, he created a blog, later a website, promoted our ideas among his friends, comrades and acquaintances in Australia and voila, two years later, give or take, Australia has the most well organized, active and militant National-Anarchist cell of the whole planet, something that should ashame hard enough the original National-Anarchists stationed in England, Germany, France, Spain and even in Portugal.
For the pictures we can witness that all that is needed is a hand full of good men, 5 or 6 men (or women, because we also have them) fearless of taking a beating from the police or a few kicks from the mainstream Left – that looses itself more in more in unworthy crap causes with no ideological purpose.
What about us? Can we do something like that? The only Portuguese political organization that includes National-Anarchists is legally disbanding itself, when the process is over will the Portuguese N-A head home? Or for the streets?
There is already available several merchandise in Australia, t-shirts, posters, stickers and even an English language magazine that we advise to all the curious (and in Portugal we have just published the third issue of our Revolution magazine), Anarchists, Antifas, Nationalists… with no dogmas and no artificial ideological barriers, the future is ours!

It is of course all a good show that many are jealous of. But is it accomplishing anything at all? Did the 6 people with their awesome looking banners and I must say, expensive t-shirts that they sell to promote their actions accomplish anything? Is anything different there now then it was the day before?
ReplyDeleteIf it shows that there is such a thing as NA and that there are people all over the world who support the ideas then yes, it is worth it.
ReplyDeleteIf groups of 15 people or so got together in every city where there are NA and did the same thing, it would give new recruits a sense of being part of a larger ideological trend.
You go out on the streets to show new recruits that you are militant. And overseas friends that they are a part of something growing and real.
If you consider this to be "nothing".... sucks to be you.
