National Westernism

The polar opposite of National Bolshevism, named after the Western world. National Westernism combines an assertive Western identity with a strong, centralized nation-state—rejecting both globalist supranationalism and radical leftist internationalism. It promotes Western cultural values as rooted in specific national traditions (French, German, American) rather than abstract universals, and it is skeptical of mass immigration and EU federalism. Unlike Ruscism, it nominally supports democracy and rule of law, but it can slide into ethnonationalism and protectionism. It is the ideology of “Fortress Europe” nationalists who still wave the flag of the West.

Example: “He wanted a Europe of strong borders, Christian heritage, and ‘Western values’—National Westernism, where the defense of the West becomes a defense of particular nations against a globalist elite.”
