are they racist?

i've heard people talking about national bolshviks, but i thought bolsheviks were internationalist? :unsure:

No. Bolsheviks and national bolsheviks are two completely different. Bolsheviks is what the Russian Communist party called itself before 1918. It is sometimes used to describe anyone with similar ideas. National bolsheviks advocate a variety of fascism. They are racist and similar to Nazis. They have little to do with real bolshevism, they just use the term to describe themselves because it gets them more recruits (the same way the nazis used the term national socialism to get recruits even though they weren't socialist).

national bolsheviks have about as much to do with bolsheviks as national socialists have to do with socialists...its a rightwing fascist attempt to co-opt and misdirect the alienating lower class anger which would otherwise be leftist and directed at the ruling class.

Isn't there also a group of "National Anarchists?"

Yep.. And as you can guess, they're another racial supremacist-type group.

"Our concept of the word ‘national’ relates not to territory but to the racial identity which is a natural facet of all peoples." - Troy Southgate.

Essentially they are a strange combination between anti-statism, distributism, and facism and believe in "voluntary racial seperatism".

Most (or all) of the criticism directed at National Bolshevism and National Socialism can be applied at National Anarchism as well..

So here is a rule: when you see National in front of a word be sure that the meaning of this word is turned upside down.
