Today the Australian Right is at a crossroads. Everyone can see that the hegemony of the Liberal Party is over. No amount of forced Andrew Hastie shilling and whispers about immigration maybe being too high are going to save it. A once in a generation opportunity to develop a new type of right-wing politics has opened up. Unfortunately there is no end of muddled thinking about what this new right should be. Some pundits are even already attempting to gatekeep out “right-wing extremists” before they’ve announced a single policy themselves!
In order to seize the ruins of the right that was and build something new, we first need to answer the question of what right-wing even means in 2025 Australia.
With the total discrediting of the old economics-focused neoliberal model of conservatism, the most basic criterion for being right-wing today is to want to preserve continuity between Australia’s past and its future. The agent of this historical continuity must be the Australian people, seen as a distinct historical entity united by ties of blood, language, culture, religion, geography and shared experience. Understood this way, nationalism is the only true form of conservatism, for it is the ongoing survival of the nation that preserves tradition.
Right-wingers will of course argue about which of these factors primarily defines the Australian identity, ranging from mainstream conservatives and their “shared values” to National Socialists and their emphasis on race. But all agree that there is such a thing as the Australian people, and that our continent legitimately belongs to Australians and Australians alone.
Once we clarify this basic definition then we can draw a correct friend-enemy distinction, determine what our political objective should be, and work out how to get there.
To put it simply, the enemy is everyone who seeks to deny the existence of the Australian people, our right to govern ourselves, and our right to the land that our ancestors conquered and developed.
At the lowest level, our enemy is the political left. They simply have a genocidal hatred of White Australians, and want to see us obliterated from history. It is not enough for them that we be made a dispossessed minority in our own country. Our most sacred dates must be changed, the cities our ancestors built renamed, and history rewritten to slander our heroes in an endless blood libel. Their political strategy is to unite every kind of minority, whether it is religious, racial or sexual, in seething resentment against White Australians. They are the mindless, bigoted haters that they accuse the right of being, and the majority of them are capable of thinking only in simplistic moralistic narratives of good versus evil.
The limited agency of the left means that they are not the primary enemies that we must fight, however. They are simply the brainwashed tools of a higher power, who uses them for purposes that they are only dimly aware of. They may believe that they are fighting for socialism, equality and an end to racism, but they are in fact the most perfect tools of the international plutocracy, who view all outside of their tribe as little better than two-legged vermin to be enslaved.
At a slightly higher level in the Australian power structure is the bureaucracy, which contains some leftist elements but is primarily technocratic and views the world in economic terms. Everything that cannot be reduced to economic statistics is useless to them – they understand only quantity. For the bureaucracy Australians are not a people, but a labour force. The economy is not the foundation for national strength, but an end in itself for which no sacrifice is too great. The line on a graph must go up, even if the result is the people who created the line destroying themselves.
It does not matter to these people whether Australia is White, or Indian or Chinese. Blood, history and culture mean nothing to them. As long as the migrants can be integrated into the Australian labour force just enough for them to be reliable producers and consumers, then that is sufficient.
By and large, the Canberra class does not think for itself. The bureaucracy are managers, not leaders. They are responsible for putting into practice the policies already given to them by the international plutocracy via the politicians, universities and think tanks. The ends that the rulers are seeking are never questioned – it is only the means that the bureaucrats decide upon.
At the top of the power structure are the international finance capitalists who control the US empire, of which Australia is merely a colony. They wish to create a world order in which they have the unchallenged right to parasite off the wealth of the entire planet, via rents, interest, dividends and arbitrage.
They are ultimately responsible for almost everything which is currently enslaving and destroying our people. For the global plutocracy, infinity immigration to Australia means more mortgages, higher rents, and lower labour costs. It also means turning a formerly homogenous, potentially rebellious society into a safely divided multicultural rabble that will be unable to stand up against them. And when the plutocracy feels that its enemies Russia and China are offering too much competition, the Australian debt slave gets the honour of paying massive sums to privately owned arms suppliers through his taxes and fighting in wars on the other side of the planet that offer him no benefit whatsoever.
Based on the above, it is clear that the enemies of the right are those currently holding institutional power, whether it is the state power of the bureaucracy, or the private power of the international finance capitalists. The aim of the right must therefore be revolutionary – to overthrow a system that is profoundly hostile to the existence of Australians as a people. If the present power structure continues to exist then the best we can hope for is for Australians to become a race of debt slaves reduced to a hated minority in our own land.
If the right is to win this fight, then it is going to have to fundamentally transform itself. The vast amount of ideological baggage and habits that it has inherited from Anglo-Liberalism is going to have to go. When we had our own country it was fine to talk about tax rates, the role of the state versus the market and the decline in church attendance. We don’t have that luxury anymore.
This New Right must be ethno-nationalist, because White Australians as a people are the foundation of our national continuity. It must be collectivist, as nationalism is only possible when individuals gain awareness of their group interests and feel a sense of ethnic solidarity. And it must be anti-capitalist and anti-imperialist because international financial capitalism is the force which is destroying our people, and the American Empire is what enables it to do so.
If we can understand our core interests, correctly identify our enemies and restructure the right to fight them then we will win. We can reverse the damage, and restore our people to their national destiny.
Or we can decide that this is all too scary because someone might call us racist.
Then we can run back into the arms of the upcoming Andrew Hastie Liberal Party, and be gently rocked to sleep, dreaming of Australian-made V8s while our country is gradually stolen from us.
It’s your choice.
