The National Bolshevik Party USA (Partisan Tendency) is another stab at trying to build a viable National Bolshevik Movement in the USA. The new reformed NBP will start out as a cyber circle of sympathizers on Facebook, then go from there.
We are inspired by Eduard Limonov and his forming of the National Bolshevik Party in Russia in 1993 as a Revolutionary Party of a New Style. Limonov ran roughshod over the old verities of Left & Right in building a Party that is at once radical and patriotic. In their own words, they promote a free socialist inner society combined with an aggressive foreign policy to defend all Russian people.
As a famous writer, Limonov exiled from the Soviet Union in the 1970s and 1980s, first in the USA and then France, did not just spend his time hanging out in avant-garde literary circles, but, in France especially, observed both the tactics of the radical students and young workers of May 1968, plus later the National Front attacking in a different direction.
In the USA, this is the equivalent of learning from both the great class battles which built the CIO and the America First Committee’s fight against intervening in the Second World War.
Or, that the key lessons from the Sixties decade are derived not from Woodstock but from both Vietnam Veterans Against the War and Coalition for an Anti-Imperialist Movement on the one hand and Robert DePugh’s Patriotic Party and The Minutemen on the other.
With the Tea Party, in it obeisance to finance-Capital, not breaking from but contributing to the closed, circle-jerk character of American politics, more than ever a movement of a new type is needed in a USofA headed for the exit.
