These policies constitute a comprehensive platform of National Conservatism with a distinct Sovereigntist and Economic Nationalist character. They are not merely conservative in a small-government sense, but are actively and explicitly state-interventionist in order to protect the nation, its culture, and its people.

 

Here is a precise breakdown of the political alignment:

 

Core Category: Ethnic Nationalism (with Civic Elements).

 

• The overarching goal is the protection and promotion of the Australian nation, which is understood as a distinct, historically-grounded people. This is most clearly seen in the immigration, remigration, and Aboriginal integration policies, which aim to dissolve multicultural separatism and foster a unified national identity based on a common culture and heritage. The civic element is present in the desire for shared values and patriotism, but it is secondary to the ethnic and cultural conception of the nation.

 

Economic Alignment: Economic Nationalism / Right-Wing Populism.

 

• This is a form of capitalism that is subservient to the national interest, not the other way around. It rejects neoliberal globalism and libertarian economics. The policies advocate for strong state intervention via a national development bank, industry strategy, and energy policy to achieve sovereign independence. It is pro-capitalist but fiercely protectionist and anti-globalist.

 

Cultural Alignment: Social Conservatism / Cultural Nationalism.

 

• The platform is explicitly opposed to what it identifies as globalist, woke, or Marxist ideologies (e.g., CRT, gender theory, UN-centric education). It seeks to actively promote traditional values, the traditional family unit, patriarchal structures, and a positive, unified narrative of Australian and Western history.

 

Governance Model: Sovereigntist Austerity.

 

• This is a unique blend. It calls for a radical reduction in the size and scope of the federal government (e.g., fewer MPs, returning power to states) while simultaneously championing a powerful, interventionist state in the economic and cultural spheres to discipline markets, build infrastructure, and defend the nation. The state is not minimised; its priorities are radically shifted.

 

In short, this is not classic liberalism, libertarianism, or neoconservatism. It is a radical, nation-centric program that uses the tools of the state to deconstruct the existing neoliberal, globalist order and build a new, protected national ecosystem focused on sovereignty, identity, and self-sufficiency.

 

You could accurately call it “Australian National Conservatism” or “Sovereigntist Populism.”

These policy ideas differ from National Socialism in their foundational principles, goals, and methods.

 

Here is a precise breakdown of the differences:

 

1. Philosophical Foundation: Blood vs. Culture & Sovereignty

 

National Socialism: Was built on a foundation of biological racial determinism. It posited a rigid racial hierarchy with a “Nordic Aryan” master race at the top. Its core was a pseudo-scientific belief that bloodline was the primary determinant of a person’s value and that certain races were biologically inferior (Untermensch). This justified extermination.

 

These Policies: Are built on a foundation of cultural sovereignty and national self-determination. The focus is on preserving Australian culture, history, and the right of the Australian people to govern themselves and control their destiny. The emphasis is on shared values, language, and tradition, not pseudoscientific racial hierarchy. The immigration and integration policies are designed to protect this cultural sovereignty, not to advance a theory of biological racial supremacy.

 

2. Economic Structure: Total State Control vs. National Capitalism

 

National Socialism: Implemented a command economy. While it left the title of private ownership in place, the state dictated all aspects of production, wages, prices, and profits. It was de facto socialism, as described by economists like Ludwig von Mises. The economy was entirely subservient to the state’s goals, obliterating economic freedom.

 

These Policies: Advocate for a state-guided, nationalist capitalism. The proposed national development bank, industry strategy, and energy policies involve significant state intervention, but the goal is to create a protected and sovereign market economy. Businesses would still be privately owned and operate for profit within a framework set by the national interest. It is corporatist or mercantilist, not socialist.

 

3. Ultimate Goal: Imperial Conquest vs. National Renewal

 

National Socialism: Had an explicitly expansionist and imperialist goal: Lebensraum (living space). It sought to conquer Eastern Europe, exterminate or enslave the Slavic populations, and create a vast German colonial empire. Its vision was genocidal and global.

 

These Policies: Have an internal and defensive goal: National Renewal. The focus is on fixing problems within Australia: rebuilding industry, solving the housing crisis, securing energy independence, and strengthening national culture. The foreign policy implication is sovereignty and non-interventionism, not conquest. The vision is to make Australia strong and self-sufficient, not to build an empire.

 

4. Method: Totalitarian vs. Democratic Reform

 

National Socialism: Seized power and maintained it through totalitarian means: a single-party state, the abolition of all civil liberties, pervasive secret police, concentration camps for political enemies, and state-sponsored violence. It was fundamentally anti-democratic.

 

These Policies: Are proposed as a platform for a democratic nation. While radical, the changes are outlined as achievable through parliamentary process, legislative reform, and constitutional amendment. They operate within a framework that, however transformed, still envisions elections and civic participation. There is no call for a single-party state or political violence.

 

When people throw around the term ‘National Socialist,’ they reveal a shallow understanding of both history and modern politics. These ideas are of National Conservatism and Economic Nationalism.

 

We don’t believe in racial hierarchy; we believe in national sovereignty. We don’t want a state-controlled economy; we want an Australian-controlled economy. Our goal isn’t conquest; it’s self-preservation and renewal.

 

The 20th-century ideologies of Communism and Nazism were both totalitarian, genocidal, and sought a global revolution. Our vision is the antithesis of that: it is about protecting our home, our people, and our right to self-determination through democratic means. It is a defensive program for a nation that has lost its way, not a blueprint for imperial aggression.

At the moment these policy ideas are a "think tank" to promote discussion and adoption of a sound policy framework in a very fragmented right sphere of politics. Most think tanks are currently NGO-driven and do not have National interests at their core. They are fundamentally globalist and corporate serving, and thus our politicians at the moment seek to operate within that framework. The world will change rapidly over the coming decades, and sensible but solid plans of action must be ready to fill the void.

 

Our meetings for policy discussion are currently private events, we may open that to public attendance in the future.

 

We are not aligned with any party or movement, but encourage you, if you believe in any of our principles, to attend marches or rallies in your region that are Nationalist in nature. We do not advocate for NSN activism or participation and urge you to get in touch with an organiser if the rally you propose to attend could have any affiliation or give platform with/to NSN. If you believe there is affiliation, we urge you to remove yourself from any affiliation with that rally.
