Here are some of the most important thinkers and writers who have explicitly identified with, or whose work is widely considered foundational to, ethno-anarchism (also sometimes called tribal anarchism, national-anarchism, or anarcho-tribalism, depending on the tendency). Ethno-anarchism combines anti-statist, anti-capitalist anarchism with a defense of ethnic/particularist/tribal identity and separation (as opposed to universalism or forced multicultural integration).
Key Figures and Their Quotes
Troy Southgate (UK) The most prominent and explicit proponent of “National-Anarchism,” which is the best-known organized expression of ethno-anarchism.
“National-Anarchists do not support nationalism in the sense that we idolize the nation-state, but we are nationalists because we seek to preserve the ethnic and cultural homogeneity of our respective peoples.”
“We believe in the creation of autonomous villages that are racially and culturally homogeneous… The State, capitalism and multiculturalism are the trinity we oppose.”
“National-Anarchism is a complete rejection of the liberal melting-pot and the desire to create self-sufficient communities based upon mutual aid, ethnic heritage and traditional values.”
Keith Preston (USA) American anarchist and founder of Attack the System / American Revolutionary Vanguard. He defends “pan-secessionism” and the right of ethnic groups to separate.
“Anarcho-pluralism recognizes the right of secession down to the level of the individual, community, or any other organic social unit, including the right of cultural or ethnic groups to form autonomous communities.”
“I have no problem with racial separatists, religious fundamentalists, ethno-nationalists, or cultural traditionalists pursuing their own vision of the ideal society in their own territories, so long as they do not attempt to impose their views on others by force.”
Richard Hunt (UK) Former editor of Green Anarchist and Alternative Green; shifted in the 1990s toward ethno-anarchist and “tribalist” positions.
“The future belongs to small, self-sufficient communities based on blood and soil, not to the global shopping mall.”
“We need to return to the tribe, to the extended family, to the village community rooted in its own land and its own people.”
Wulf Grimwald / “Wulf” (pen name, active in National-Anarchist circles in the 2000s–2010s)
“Anarchism without tribe is rootless; tribe without anarchism is tyranny. National-Anarchism is the synthesis that returns power to the folk and keeps it there.”
Craig Fitzgerald (National-Anarchist Movement, USA branch in the 2010s)
“We are for racial separatism achieved through anarchistic, decentralist means—self-determination for all peoples in their own autonomous zones, free from the State and capitalist exploitation.”
Bay Area National Anarchists (BANA) manifesto (early 2010s)
“We support the self-determination of all peoples and the creation of autonomous communities based on race, ethnicity, culture, and identity. No forced integration, no globalist melting pot.”
Related or Sympathetic Thinkers (often cited by ethno-anarchists)
Alain de Benoist (French Nouvelle Droite) – not an anarchist, but his defense of ethnopluralism and “the right to difference” is heavily borrowed.
“Every people has the right to preserve its identity and differences… The real racism is the desire to make everyone the same.”
Ted Kaczynski (the Unabomber) – frequently quoted by tribal and eco-anarchist strands for his critique of modernity and defense of small autonomous communities (though he never addressed race explicitly).
Ethno-anarchism remains a very small and controversial current within the broader anarchist milieu, largely rejected by mainstream (especially left-wing) anarchists as incompatible with anti-racist principles. Its proponents usually insist they are neither “left” nor “right” but “third position” or beyond those categories.
