Its hard to say whether these guys are serious or if they're just obsessed with that ridiculous little bar. One article on that sight seems to imply that it is the product of anti-Chinese sentiment.

There was a similiar incident in Taiwan where a dissilusioned student set up her own neo-Nazi group:

They're not neo-nazis in the traditional sense; they don't hate everyone who isn't Mongolian, hell most of them don't even know what the Holocaust was I'm willing to bet, but they use it exemplify their hatred of Chinese people, due to the Chinese government's stranglehold on the Mongolian economy.

Actually, they also hate Koreans, Vietnamese, and Russians and anyone else who "steal Mongolian women". Funny that you seem to defend everyone, even the Neo-Nazis, so long as they oppose the Chinese government.

Obviously there are Mongolian neo-nazis, there are neo-nazis in every country, even Israel (yes, real neo-nazis in Israel, not exactly a big deal either). It's just warped perceptions of "they should know better because theyre not white", which is kind of small minded because all reactionary ideologies are based on.. reaction, which is not a formulated, sensible or scientific approach.

At first I thought the idea of Neo-Nazism taking hold in Russia and Serbia was odd, but this really does take the cake. Having said that, I have an uncle in India who admires Hitler's patriotism, he also likes that Hitler brought "discipline" to Germany and opposed communism. So I guess it is possible for fascists all over the world to admire those aspects of Nazi Germany and for this reason identify with Nazism. The right-wing Hindu nationalists in India openly admire Hitler, that's no secret.

Hardly surprising, Hitler is less hated in Asia and in Africa than in Europe and the western world, mostly because Hitler mostly wrought havoc in Europe. Due to that, as well as the brutalisation experienced by colonisation, third worlders in general tend to view Hitler as "another dictator" and not as some kind of demon lord with horns.

Third worlders are often a lot more politically sophisticated and savvy than westerners and don't tend to mystifty politicians as much, mostly because politics in their countries in general have a more direct life'n'death meaning.

Thus, Indians, Mongolians and Chinese when they read about Hitler doesn't necessarily conceptualise the same things that a westerner is reading in. They have experienced terrible massacres themselves, both pre-colonialism and post-colonialism, and thus don't tend to be as shocked by violence as a westerner.

I would actually guess that if a dictator arose to power in the EU and the USA and did some really horrible things against his own population, things of the kind which the ARENA did in El Salvador or Idi Amin in Uganda, it would actually pretty fast make the population docile and obedient as sheep (with the exception of some rural communities and some immigrant groups).

It is one thing to be taken into custody and beaten by police. It is an entirely other thing if the police gouges out one's eyes and rip off the arms and leave one on the street to bleed to death.

There are Viets in Mongolia, just not as many as Chinese and Russians. The main beef Mongolian nationalists have are with the Chinese and the Russians, for obvious reasons.

Frankly, obviously I'm opposed to any form of neo-Nazism, but Mongolia being a third world and Asian country, their neo-Nazism is not as objectively reactionary as first world Euro-American neo-Nazism.

In fact, even though their perceived reasons for upholding neo-Nazism (to defend their nation against the encroachment of the Chinese and the Russians) might be completely misguided, at least in the abstract sense it is more defensive than European neo-Nazism which literally seeks to wipe out every "non-Aryan" race. Ethnic nationalism is still generally much less reactionary than racial nationalism.

And to be fair, ever since China and Russia turned capitalist, there has indeed been some degree of economic exploitation conducted by both the Russians and the Chinese in Mongolia. Of course, the biggest economic threat facing the Mongolian people, like with many other parts of the third world, comes from Western multi-nationals and the Western nation-states that support them, not Russia or China. But neo-Nazis generally are way too dumb to realise this fact.

It's not due to fundamental historical reasons, but due to the simple fact that the PRC still rules over Inner Mongolia, which the Mongolian nationalists consider to be a part of their country.

If anything, since Mongolians and Chinese are of the same race, (it's often not easy to tell us apart physically) fundamentally Mongolians should be more anti-Russian than anti-Chinese. But for ethnic nationalists like these Mongolian "neo-Nazis" (objectively not an entirely accurate term for them), contemporary political factors like Inner Mongolia obviously takes far greater precedence than abstract considerations of race. This is a fundamental difference between Asian and Western neo-Nazism. The former is more based on ethnicity, the latter is more based on physical race.

Hold on. Mongolians and Chinese aren't the same race! they are two different ethnicities, with Mongolians being descended from Asiatic and Turkic peoples, and Han Chinese being strictly Asiatic.

some Mongolians even have blond hair.

Have you ever being to Mongolia? Very few Mongols have blonde hair.

And actually a few Han people have blonde hair too. Did you know that? But hair colour doesn't matter as much as facial shape.

Physically Mongolians do look like Chinese. You often cannot tell us apart. See for instance the portrait of Genghis Khan made during the Yuan dynasty. Turks in West Asia today look different even though they originated in Eastern Asia because they mixed heavily with the local Greek-speaking populations after migrating West, but the Mongols still have that original "Asiatic" look.

Therefore the "original" Turks in central and eastern Asia were also "purely Asiatic", like the Chinese and the Mongols, today's Turks in Western Asia only look different due to their mixing with the local Greek-speaking population.

Historically Han Chinese in northern China have mixed quite a bit with Mongols, Manchus and Turks as well. Even Mandarin Chinese, the language of northern China, is significantly influenced by the Altaic languages. Altaic royal families ruled in northern China during more than 50% of the last 1000 years of Chinese history. (Khitan Liao, Jurchen Jin, Mongol Yuan, Manchu Qing)

There is no such thing as "pure Han Chinese". Chances are, since I was from northern China, that I have quite a few Mongolian ancestors in the centuries past.

Physical race and ethnicity aren't the same thing. Germans and English are of the same race but two different ethnicities. Of course Mongols and Chinese aren't physically identical but they are far far closer to each other than say Mongols and Russians.

'Wanted Man' is right. To the extent that anti-Semitism exists in Turkey, it is a product of the situation in Palestine and Turkish nationalism. You never see any 'Nazi imagery' or swastikas.

Anti-Semitism does not mean neo-Nazism though.

I would put it down to most of the Neo-Nazis in Europe are pretty much 'Mickey Mouse' affairs, on the political fringe. This isn't the case in Turkey. It is less than a decade since they were in Government, as part of a coalition, and could well be back in power next time. If we go back a few decades they had about 200,000 members and about a million sympathisers*. Why would they want to wave around Nazi flags when they are a serious party with a real possibility of power?

*This doesn't mean voters. They got 5,000,000 votes in the last election. It means organised sympathisers.

Physically Mongolians do look like Chinese. You often cannot tell us apart.

You also can't really tell apart Afghanis from Dravidians either, but that doesn't even mean they are close to the same.


See for instance the portrait of Genghis Khan made during the Yuan dynasty. Turks in West Asia today look different even though they originated in Eastern Asia because they mixed heavily with the local Greek-speaking populations after migrating West, but the Mongols still have that original "Asiatic" look.

Mongolians didn't get their looks from that; they were Turkic, not Greek. Greeks are not Turkic.


Therefore the "original" Turks in central and eastern Asia were also "purely Asiatic", like the Chinese and the Mongols, today's Turks in Western Asia only look different due to their mixing with the local Greek-speaking population.

Physical race and ethnicity aren't the same thing. Germans and English are of the same race but two different ethnicities. Of course Mongols and Chinese aren't physically identical but they are far far closer to each other than say Mongols and Russians.

Germans and English are probably similar, seeing as they're both Saxon descended, but not Celts and English, Celts even have different genetic variables from other ethnicities in the area. Celts also have certain Haplotypes, and Ashkenaz jews are more suspectible to certain diseases than other Europeans, even if they may look exactly the same.

ethnicity isn't that simple as "they look like it, so they are it".

So? The frequency is so low that it hardly matters at all, since among the Han the frequency of blonde hair isn't much lower.



You know judging racial characteristics based on physical appearance, skull shape etc. has been completely disproves, right?


And judging racial characteristics based on "hair colour" hasn't been?

If anything, skull shape has a much more deeper genetic origin than a purely superficial trait like hair colour?

Afghans are still much closer to Dravidians than they are to say Russians or the Chinese.



Mongolians didn't get their looks from that; they were Turkic, not Greek. Greeks are not Turkic.


What is this "Mongolian look" you talk about? Most Mongols have relatively flat faces and narrow eyes like the Chinese and other Asiatic peoples, not prominent straight noses like Western Turks and Greeks. The portrait of Genghis Khan is clearly Asiatic, not Caucasian.

It is quite rare to meet Turkish people who look 'mongoloid'. I'd say that it is probably less than 1 in a 1,000. Today's Turks are, as genetic surveys have shown, ethnically very similar to the Greeks. This almost certainly means that a relatively small group of conquers from central Asia took over, then mixed with the local population. I would imagine that the Turks you meet who look 'mongoloid' today are the descendants of more recent immigrants.

And frankly you are ignorant of Chinese history. I told you already that northern Chinese people ethnically do have a partial Altaic ancestry. Some historians even think the original Han Chinese tribes also originated in northern Asia.

Han and Mongols do essentially share similar genetic markers on the Y chromosome.

To all the numbnuts arguing this, ethnicity isn't the same as race. Ethnicity is much more determined by cultural factors.

To suggest that Mongols and Chinese have no genetic link, when the Mongols were a Chinese dynasty at one point, is sheer idiocy. The Northern Chinese gene pool has been shaped over the centuries by successive migrations and conquests--from Mongolia, Korea, and Siberia. It's one of the most diverse in east Asia.

Also, to talk about things like blonde hair is silly. You find such things even in Laos:

Hazaras are a small minority in Afghanistan derived from Mongol soldiers who settled there. Uzbeks are a mixture of Asiatic nomads and the original Indo-European settled populations of central Asia, thus their mixed Eurasian look. But they are not the main ethnic group in Afghanistan. Most Afghans still look largely caucasian, similar to the Dravidians of southern India.

I was referring to the main ethnic groups in Afghanistan, not ones like the Uzbeks or the Hazaras, which are minority populations.

You just showed your ignorance. There is no majority ethnic group in Afghanistan. Pashtuns are a third of the population, and so are the Tajiks. Uzbeks and Hazara together are nearly 20% of the Afghan population. A smaller group, Aimaks (4%), also have mixed Persian and Mongolian heritage, though they're often counted as Tajiks in census. Afghanistan has always been a multiethnic agglomeration, so take your Great Han chauvinism elsewhere--ethnicity in Afghanistan isn't just something you play dress up with on festival day.

They have more of a right to be recognized as a face of Afghanistan than you as a Chinese living in the UK or France or wherever in Western Europe.

I said main groups (plural), not main group (singular). My point is simply that the majority of Afghans are still largely caucasian-looking, nothing more.

I don't see what your point about my alleged "great han chauvinism" is about at all, since that is completely irrelevant to the topic at hand. And frankly you don't know enough about me to accuse me for being a "Han chauvinist". Care to provide any concrete evidence showing that I am a "Han chauvinist"?

And what do you mean "ethnicity in Afghanistan isn't just something you play dress up with on festival day"? Is that what you think ethnicity in China is like? You are indeed bordering on racism here, not to mention it's completely off-topic.

And I never said that ethnic Chinese people living in the UK should become the "face" of the UK either.

How can I be a "Han chauvinist" when I've actually said that there might actually be a bit of an objective justification for the Mongolian nationalists' attitudes, partly based on the exploitation of Mongolia by a now capitalist China?

You may be referring to the Uyghur people concentrated in Sinjiang and possibly the Uzbek people in western China, Afghanistan, and Uzbekistan. The Uyghurs are Turkic speaking with East Asian and European traits mixed in.They probably absorbed the Tocharians, an Indo-European group, at some time.Some Uyghurs look Chinese or Mongolian, some look European.

My understanding is that the term "Turkic" is more linguistic than anything else.
Also Mongolians generally are shorter and stockier than most Han people, I think.

Good points there, but I would hasten to add that 'neo-nazism' doesnt usually exist on any large scale in Europe either, I mean sure you have some politicians who sympathise with mussolini and are anti-semitic but they are just as bad as their other right wing counterparts in most cases. I wasnt necessarily saying Turkey has a lot of neo-nazis but that, by any other name, they are probably anti semitic and right wing, just like a lot of other politicians who also arent nazis. The difference in most European countries is just that you swap semitic with islamic.

"We hate the Chinese, Koreans and Vietnamese,” the current head of Dayar Mongol calmly states in an interview, “because they do a lot of illegal things such as human trafficking, selling drugs and prostitution […]"
Three years ago, the leader of "Blue Mongol", another neo-Nazi group, was convicted of killing his daughter's boyfriend because the young man had studied in China.
"[They] shave the heads of women caught sleeping with Chinese men.” G. Damdinsuren, a Dayar Mongol board member, justified the tactics. “It is for their own good […] A small nation can only survive by keeping its blood pure."They are neo-Nazis, pure and simple. Stop defending them.

I believe Devrim is referring to the MHP (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nationalist_Movement_Party). It was at its most dangerous as a CIA-backed counter-revolutionary militia during the 1970s, waging all-out war against the Turkish labour movement.

Good points there, but I would hasten to add that 'neo-nazism' doesnt usually exist on any large scale in Europe either, I mean sure you have some politicians who sympathise with mussolini and are anti-semitic but they are just as bad as their other right wing counterparts in most cases. I wasnt necessarily saying Turkey has a lot of neo-nazis but that, by any other name, they are probably anti semitic and right wing, just like a lot of other politicians who also arent nazis. The difference in most European countries is just that you swap semitic with islamic.

By 'Neo-Nazi' I mean the people running around with Swastikas and wearing funny clothes. I wouldn't say that the BNP in the UK today is 'Neo-Nazi' for example.

But isn't that just playing dress up? like, Rastafarians who have dreadlocks and smoke weed, but don't know the scripture behind it?

And me personally, I feel uncomfortable calling anyone who isn't a "Nordic European" a neo-nazi, mainly because a key tenet of nazi faith was that the nordic Europeans were superior to other races.

They seem to be racist national socialists, but not "Nazi" in the traditional sense.

I don't know, if you call yourself a nazi/neo-nazi and wear a swastika, I'll believe you. Ideologies can be adapted and slightly changed while still preserving their basic nature. Original Nazism was based on nordic europeans, but that doesn't mean that all the other tenets and attitudes about race couldn't translate to another fit another situation.

There's a reason they're called neo-nazis, not nazis. Neo-Nazis take inspiration from and trace their roots to original nazis, but nowhere are they the same thing as the originals. I'm pretty sure that Hitler would look down his nose at Neo-Nazis today whether they be from the american heartland, serbia, or mongolia.

I'd also like to add that you've never once in your life been part of the "collective experience" of being in the holocaust, and neither have I. All we know about it today, by and large, is what the history books tell us about. You didn't experience it any more than a mongolian has, and you both basically have the exact same sources to go by.

"Neo-Nazism" as far as I can tell is simply a term used to describe militant fascists...it's not used to describe a direct line from German National Socialists--> Neo-Nazis. Which is kind of odd, seeing as Neo-Nazi means "New Nazi", but yeah. Fascism and various tenets of traditional German national socialism (such as the defense of "blood and honor") can exist in any country...that's why it's not such a big suprise to see Russian skinheads with swastika and Hitler tattoos, even though they would've been considered sub-Aryan according to Nazi orthodoxy. I don't see why anyone should doubt their sincerity, simply because they're Asian.

Frankly, obviously I'm opposed to any form of neo-Nazism, but Mongolia being a third world and Asian country, their neo-Nazism is not as objectively reactionary as first world Euro-American neo-Nazism.

In fact, even though their perceived reasons for upholding neo-Nazism (to defend their nation against the encroachment of the Chinese and the Russians) might be completely misguided, at least in the abstract sense it is more defensive than European neo-Nazism which literally seeks to wipe out every "non-Aryan" race. Ethnic nationalism is still generally much less reactionary than racial nationalism.

And to be fair, ever since China and Russia turned capitalist, there has indeed been some degree of economic exploitation conducted by both the Russians and the Chinese in Mongolia. Of course, the biggest economic threat facing the Mongolian people, like with many other parts of the third world, comes from Western multi-nationals and the Western nation-states that support them, not Russia or China. But neo-Nazis generally are way too dumb to realise this fact.

European neo-nazism is not about wiping out non-aryans but to "take away non-aryans from Europe to prevent" what they call "race mixing". Modern nazism is more defensive overally than the old brand. If a nazi party won power in a European country today, it would most likely resemble Apartheid South Africa or South Rhodesia or Israel in its policies rather than Nazi Germany.

That is equally reactionary of course, but one cannot defeat an opponent without knowing their agenda.

Actually in that case I don't think it is equally reactionary, I think classical Nazism of Hitler's era, the one that directly slaughtered 6 million Jews in concentration camps, is not on the same level as modern European Nazism today that just aims to drive out all immigrants and non-whites from Europe.

By "Nazis in the classical sense" I meant Nazis during Hitler's time, i.e. those who believed that the white or Aryan race is fundamentally and biologically superior compared with all other races.

I'm not saying today's Nazis in the West are necessarily Nazis in this classical sense. I think some modern neo-Nazis in the West may be similar to the Asian neo-Nazis in that they are also largely just ethnic nationalists.

The difference between racialism and nationalism is very clear. The former is more reactionary than the latter. Racialism believes that a particular group of humans are biologically superior than all others in an intrinsic sense due to their skin colour, hair colour, genetics, facial shape etc, and while nationalists may also be quite reactionary, they do not believe that their nation is superior in this biological sense, but only in the political or at most cultural sense. In fact, many nationalists don't think of their nation as superior at all, they just believe in absolute political loyalty to their nation, and will fight for their nation at all costs. They might even think the idea that their own nation is somehow "intrinsically" superior is a dangerous one, because it can lead to complacency and therefore political and military defeat.

Racialism is always reactionary. Nationalism can actually be left-wing and partially progressive if it is essentially a part of a national liberation movement against imperialism and colonialism.

In short:

Racialism is the political belief that one's own physical race is biologically superior than other races, and therefore politically should rule over other races as the "master race".

Nationalism is the political belief that one should have absolute political loyalty to one's nation, regardless of what the nation may do in practice. It might also mean one believes that one's own nation is politically and culturally superior than other nations, but this is not necessarily the case for many nationalists.

I was using ethnic-nationalism and nationalism interchangably since in practice they often mean the same kind of thing. The modern nation-state in the capitalist sense emerged around distinct ethnic groups for the most part. (There are also a few multi-ethnic nations in the world but politically they tend to be less stable)



btw, chinese and mongolian people do not have to be of the same 'race' seeing race is socially constructed and arbitrary. Using your logic i guess that hitler was not motivated by racialism but by nationalism when you killed polish people seeing as they happen to be seen as 'white'.


The Nazis had a complex hierarchical theory of race. There are races and sub-races. Both Germans and Polish people belonged to the white race, but different sub-races: Germanic vs. Slavic. Hitler thought the Slavs were inferior to the Germans but as white people still superior to the Asiatics like the Mongols and Chinese, who in turn are superior to Black people.

I guess Jews are an exception because even though physically they were white they were placed at the bottom of the racial hierarchy. But for the Nazis being a Jew certainly wasn't just a cultural thing, they had physical measurement criteria for Jewish "racial phenotypes", such as having a big nose beyond a certain size for example. In practice this kind of "tests" never really worked that well since objectively the Jews never were a homogenous racial group but it shows the Nazi's racialist mentality.

Similarly, Mongols and Chinese are of the same "race" but different "sub-races".

"Race" is a social construction, but crucially it is still a social construction that pretends to be scientific and having a physical basis. Racialists would certainly never subjectively admit that they are just relying on a social construction. For them it's all physically genuine.

Yes, the Nazis did have a hierarchical theory of race. Their ideology is actually quite complex. They utilised many pseudo-scientific methods to measure physical races.

You should not be so ignorant about the Nazis, since they are our enemy. "Know your enemy and know yourself".

The idea of "white race" and "white supremacy" did not begin with the Nazis, but much earlier. I suggest you read the excellent historical text "A People's History of the United States". Racism was used as a tool by the ruling capitalist class to artificially divide the working class along racial lines so they can't unite together to fight the capitalists.

Irrelevant. The fact of the matter is that Mongol neo-Nazis do not view the Chinese as a different race. Their ideology isn't even primarily based on physical race.

My point was that according to the Nazi theory of races, both Chinese and Mongols belonged to the "Asiatic" race but different sub-races. I didn't say this view is necessarily objectively correct, though genetic analysis does show that the Mongols and the Chinese are quite close to each other in terms of "genetic differentiation", not that it really matters either way.



This makes no sense. Do you mean racists 'try to make out that races are biologically features rather than socially constructed.


Your grasp of the English language seems to be less than ideal. My point is that although objectively "race" is a social construction, for the Nazis it is something that is physically real.

The idea of "white race" and "white supremacy" did not begin with the Nazis, but much earlier. I suggest you read the excellent historical text "A People's History of the United States". Racism was used as a tool by the ruling capitalist class to artificially divide the working class along racial lines so they can't unite together to fight the capitalists.

I never said that the concept of 'white' did not pre-date the nazis.
Fighting against a strawman?
If that book was written by Howard Zinn, and yes i have read that book.




Irrelevant. The fact of the matter is that Mongol neo-Nazis do not view the Chinese as a different race. Their ideology isn't even primarily based on physical race.

Racism is does not have to be based on a 'physical race'.
:confused:Well they must do, otherwise they would not be saying this "We have to make sure that as a nation our blood is pure"

Your grasp of the English language seems to be less than ideal. My point is that although objectively "race" is a social construction, for the Nazis it is something that is physically real.

What the hell do you mean by physically real.
Do you mean that for nazis it is a biologically fact?




Like I said, the point here is simply that ethno-nationalism is not based on physical race but Nazism is based on ideas about physical race.

.........What are you trying to say?
Are you trying to say that ethno-nationalism is not based on physical features(such as skin colour, hair colour) and nazism is based on physical features.
