Neo-Nazism Essay

The other part of item 2B talks about the New Right’s view on social policy. The new right argue that social policies interfere with the family too much, they stop it from being self-reliant. As they argue that the nuclear family is the natural family, supported by the idea of the biological gender division of labour, if the roles of this family type are carried out accordingly, then the family is able to be self-reliant and not need the government to support it. This idea was mainly highlighted by Murray who created to proposals about social policy. The first one is the ‘dependency culture’. This is the idea that social policies are making people assume the state will provide for them, in forms such as providing houses for pregnant teenagers or assuming that the state will look after children. Therefore,

The children of the BNW learn to love their caste and either look down on the others or aspire to be like them. While social inferiorities aren’t necessarily taught in today’s society, children and young adults certainly aspire to have a certain body, think about how they dress (like the Deltas wearing khakis), and always want the newest trend or toy. This is largely due to the amount of advertisements on TV, internet, and radio we’re exposed to, and while we grow up amongst them, there’s no doubt that they shape us into who we become later on.

This paper relies heavily on a multitude of books and articles. Each are based off of Britain and how imperialism was involved in creating a diverse nation out of the United Kingdom. Some of those books talk about the history of Britain and how slavery was used within the imperialist age. Some of those other books talked about the disadvantages of ethnic minorities in Britain today. While, most of the articles and online sources take a more modern cultural approach to show how diverse the culture of Britain is today, and how each ethnic group may be affected by disadvantages that they may experience in the world today.

Anti-immigrant sentiment tends to arrive when waves of mass immigration occurs, the host societies believe that their jobs are being taken from them and that their standard of living is falling all because of the migrants that have come to live in the host country. Due to this anti-immigration sentiment can be seen to be a politically significant phenomenon in European societies since the second world war. Strong political opposition to immigration comes from populist-extremist parties (PEPs), they see immigration as a threat to the social and cultural cohesion of the host country. On the political spectrum most of these parties are right wing parties, somewhere between established conservative parties and openly violent and anti-democratic right wing parties. Over the past years in Europe these parties have been growing in power and during the past three waves of PEPs, they have slowly gained more and more power even though many thought they would die out. The first waves of PEPs come about after the second world war, in the immediate post war period the Sozialistiche Reichspartei party in West Germany was established however this was banned by he constitution later on. The second wave came int he 1970s with the National Front in the UK and the anti-tax parties in Scandinavia. The third wave came in the 1980s when a large number of parties emerged and have remained part of the political scene since then. This shows that anti-immigrant sentiment is politically significant in

The chaos and fury of the violence of the post-apocalyptic Britain initiated the radically right-winged Norsefire regime: fascists that united with the surviving big companies and businesses, giving them the appearance of wealth and stability. Yet, even if the Norsefire regime did agreeably bring order back to the country, there was a price to pay: ethnic and racial minorities like Black people, Indians, and Pakistanis were gathered and place in concentration

Most recent social policies in the UK come from a New Labour point of view, as this party has been in power for almost 12 years. Therefore, many of these modern social policies encourage the existence of the

Some experts argue that the recent rise in xenophobic promises and policies in European countries has to do with the populace’s fear over job loss, pensions and benefits cutting, and a fear in the loss of a national identity—which some

UKIP are a British political party which believes that “immigration is far too high” and that Britain should “take back control of our borders” . Although both broad statements, UKIP fundamentally believes that it is not sustainable for Britain to allow the level of migrants entering the UK for much further. In the 2005 general elections (noticeably after the A8 countries entering the EU) “UKIP fielded 495 candidates and gained 618,000 votes, or 2.3% of the total votes cast in the election” . Yet in 2001 UKIP attained only 1.5% of the vote and failed to achieve any representation at Westminster.

Populist and Extremist political parties are gaining more support and currently they have representatives in parliaments of most of the member states of EU. Part of their strategy is to associate the socio-economic problems with immigrants thus provoking more xenophobia. The so-called "New Racism" combines rhetoric of declining social rights, growing poverty and ideas of liberalism with the hate of multiculturalism and migration. Such rhetoric of "First take care of our people" is spreading and it is supported thanks to the myths described above. We are witnessing growing trends of opinions preaching anti-migration politics that seeping through to the mainstream populist politics that are more and more skeptic towards migration. The rights

In this essay, I will be arguing for the rights and privileges of minority groups. I believe that ‘special’ privileges do not give minorities excessive benefits, and that these privileges also do not infringe upon the rights or lifestyles of the majority. I will prove this through the examination of several aspects of society and nation, including equality, nation-building, and identity. These three characteristics of multiculturalism and society will help evidence the justification of minority rights in the face of opposing liberal majority interests. To establish the need for minority rights, the concept of multiculturalism must first be understood. Kymlicka describes multiculturalism as “an umbrella term for the claims of these ethnocultural

In order to protect their nation from the supposed threat of Immigrants, a need arose to define and classify the British cultural identity as rooted in the history of the nation. With the loss of the British Empire throughout the century, in aligning a British identity to the age of Empire reveals nostalgia for pure, British identity untainted by foreign influences. With an influx of diverse cultures, came “a racism typified by notions of a common culture and ethnic difference” (Gillborn 347). As emphasized by sociologist Robert Miles, “the political discourse employed by the British government since 1945 has been overtly and covertly racist”, however rather than the overt “reference to the inherent biological inferiority” of certain racial and ethnic groups to exclude them from national belonging, the concept of a national identity based on a shared culture is used as a covert tool of exclusion (Miles 36-37). Moving away from the scientific racism of the 19th century, cultural racism in the 60’s and beyond makes way for Conservatives “new racism” based on fear of Immigrants (Gillborn

Defenders of the present system are so far in the majority. Yet when judged in terms of arguments they are in trouble. Their sense of history is poor and they lack both a unified voice and intellectual authority. No Edmund Burke or Thomas Carlyle is to be found in their ranks. They have Tony Blair, it’s true. At this year’s Blackpool conference, when asked about granting sixteen years olds the vote, he said that citizenship should have a ‘legal’ starting point : eighteen. The Prime Minister no doubt knows that the current legal condition of young people is anomalous, but he is not alone in his beliefs. The conservatives have plenty of politicians on their side, but – given their rising unpopularity - that may prove to be their joint undoing.

Since support for his party is starting to wane, Jeremy Corbyn - leader of the United Kingdom’s Labour Party, is attempting to give himself a new, populist image in order to garner more votes for his party in future elections. The Labour Party is losing their stronghold on their traditional base of working class supporters to other parties, including the Conservatives, Liberal Democrats, and UKIP. The issues that the working class voting bloc cares about are: job losses, low wages, and immigration. In the last few years, they feel like the Labour Party has left them behind. Because of this, Corbyn has revised his position on immigration and Brexit, stating that he was not “wedded to freedom of movement for European Union citizens” and “Britain

Even though citizens may be ‘British’ and sheltered, dishonourably UK civil society will not be fair, equal or compassionate.

Many British feel threatened by the immigrants; they believe that immigrants are “milking out” their resources. These resources include school places, housing, and the NHS. With the rapid increase of immigrants, British born people feel bombarded with foreign faces and therefore, are anxious to lose their social identity. Such perceived threats lead to the forming of far-right organisations, for example, the English Defence League. The group was founded in 2009 as a reaction against the extremist Muslim demonstration in Luton and while it stands for traditional British values, it opposes Islam extremists. It isn’t of much help either that the prime minister of Great Britain opposes immigration. On the 12th of December Theresa May said, “immigration displaces British workers, forces people onto benefits and suppresses wages for the low-paid”. This statement illustrates the British attitude towards migrants and reinforces the belief that immigration has a malign effect on
