Europe's Civilizationist Parties
EXCERPT: Charles Hawley of Der Spiegel claims that "all these parties are, at their core, nationalist," but this [is]historically incorrect....Better to call them "civilizationist," focusing on their cultural priority, because they feel intense frustration at watching their way of life disappear. They cherish Europe's and the West's traditional culture and want to defend it from assault by immigrants aided by the left. (The term "civilizationist" has the additional benefit of excluding those parties which loathe Western civilization, such as Greece's neo-Nazi Golden Dawn.)
