You believe that preserving national identity, cultural traditions, and strong borders will lead to a more unified and prosperous society.

Right-wing nationalism is a political ideology that combines elements of nationalism with right-wing political beliefs, often emphasizing the importance of national identity, cultural homogeneity, and the preservation of traditional values. It typically advocates for a strong, centralized state that prioritizes the interests of the nation above all else, often at the expense of minority groups, immigrants, or foreign influences. Right-wing nationalists tend to view the nation as a cohesive, organic entity that must be protected from external threats and internal divisions, and they often…   promote policies that seek to maintain or restore what they perceive as the nation's historical or cultural purity.

Historically, right-wing nationalism has roots in the 19th century, particularly in the aftermath of the French Revolution and the rise of nation-states in Europe. As monarchies and empires began to decline, nationalist movements emerged, seeking to unify people based on shared language, culture, and ethnicity. In many cases, these movements were conservative in nature, opposing liberal or socialist ideas that promoted internationalism or class struggle. Right-wing nationalists often sought to preserve traditional hierarchies and social orders, viewing them as essential to the stability and strength of the nation.

In the 20th century, right-wing nationalism became associated with more extreme forms of authoritarianism and fascism, particularly in the lead-up to and during World War II. Fascist regimes in Italy, Germany, and other countries promoted aggressive nationalism, racial superiority, and militarism, often leading to violent repression of minorities and political opponents. These regimes sought to create a unified, homogeneous national identity, often through exclusionary or xenophobic policies.

In the post-war period, right-wing nationalism did not disappear but evolved in response to new global dynamics, such as decolonization, immigration, and the rise of supranational organizations like the European Union. In many countries, right-wing nationalist parties and movements have emerged, often in opposition to globalization, multiculturalism, and perceived threats to national sovereignty. These movements frequently emphasize anti-immigration policies, economic protectionism, and a return to traditional values, while also expressing skepticism or outright hostility toward international institutions and agreements.

In recent decades, right-wing nationalism has experienced a resurgence in various parts of the world, often fueled by economic discontent, cultural anxieties, and a sense of loss of national identity in the face of globalization. This resurgence has been marked by populist rhetoric, which frames the nation as being under siege by elites, immigrants, or foreign powers, and calls for a return to a more insular, self-reliant national order. While the specific characteristics of right-wing nationalism can vary from country to country, the core themes of national pride, cultural preservation, and opposition to perceived external threats remain central to the ideology.
