Basically, my research was about the transition of nativist parties into something that was palatable and acceptable to like very large percentages of the population in contemporary

Western Europe.

With a lot of that was that aspects of nationalism had become taboo after World War II, obviously

enough for the horrors of the Nazi regime, the Holocaust, the murder of Jews, homosexuals,

the imperialism of the Third Reich and the Axis in general.

So in this sense, nationalism, many aspects of it were rather taboo.

Of course, those principal aspects would be things like biological racism, pronounced anti-Semitism,

militarism, you know, the sort of totalitarianism that was so apparent

in Nazism, and of course it's ideological opponent, certainly totalitarian, was apparent in Soviet

communism as well. And I became interested, a long enduring interest in World War II and I guess what you'd call radical politics, both nationalist and socialist politics. And I was curious to see how these parties in Europe were really advancing at a great rate of knots, going from relative political

outsiders often in the 90s into, you know, being parties that assist forming government

like the Danish people parties had, which was one of my case study subjects.

And particularly interested in the Front National Front with the transition from

Jean-Marie Le Pen to Marine Le Pen, who is probably the most symbolic evidence of this transition

from this sort of old nationalist style of politics with, you know, fairly nuanced dubating on his part often enough.

And the early front national had some people that were basically neo-fascists involved in it,

early on in the piece, one being Francois Dupret, who was supposedly murdered by Mossad because he was a Holocaust revisionist

and had close relationships with Palestinians and Barthists. And of course, you have the younger

daughter now that is doing extremely well in the polls. The Front National Front

Front won the European elections last year, the Danish People Party,

is polling really well.

The Sweden Democrats are polling extremely well.
