Start firstly with what is Alt Right?
It's Alternative Right & has a few key planks in what they believe that are common to most of the Alt-Right.
One thing for sure is they're not really from the Left nor are they Conservatives but in a twist of irony they do share some traits with the Left. However I don't expect them to be holding ideological hands anytime soon.
Alt Right is a greyish movement but the main reason it might try to infiltrate the Nationals via the NSW Young Nationals is probably a lot simpler than you might think. It's because as a movement, they are at times very loud but incredibly small. There aim is to come in and swing the Nats over. It really was only a matter of time before they got kicked out. It really was a plan that was never really going to last. I mean there's silly and then there's moronic. They tick the latter with this "plan"
Alt Right believe broadly in 3 common things.
1) It strongly rejects all notions of God/faith/religion
2) Strongly advocates White Supremacy Politics
3) And clearly wants the subordination/suppression of the individual to the will of the collective (or the state)
So in short these 3 facets are not Conservative Values At All.
Alt-right are not Conservatives.
Alt-Right is not of the Left but ironically it shares more traits with the Left than Conservatives.
One of them is a real biggy...
Race Based Identity Politics - The Left does this too, but while the left often calls for more things that favour ethnic minorities, the Alt Right calls for things that favour their ethnic majority. These are 2 sides of the one coin. Race Based Group Identity Politics where the Individual is set aside and things get group oriented. Neither wants the individual, irrespective of the race or cultural background to improve. They want their chosen group to benefit at the expense of others & the state to help control it.
Both the Left & the Alt-Right reject the Conservative ideal that race doesn't or shouldn't matter, that "all men are created equal". Both don't like matters of race put aside, both don't like individuals being allowed to flourish.
Both want the subordination of the individual to the will of the collective or the state.
You might think that sounds ultra right wing like fascism. Well it does. Except remember Fascism is actually from the Left. You can look up its philosophical founder, the Italian Socialist Philosopher Giovanni Gentile. He's pretty much the father of Fascism which he declared was the purest form of Socialism.
"But Nazis were fascists & they were ultra right wing" you might say. Well they were National Socialists. They believed in full & total state control of all things (Socialist) and it was based on country/cultural identity (Nationalism)
Now Nationalism is not in itself evil. Churchill, Roosevelt & Ghandi were Nationalists...keen on improving their own respective nations. Hitler was a mad man so you can call him anything at all really, but he was a fascist & that's National Socialism in their case. So ironically again Alt-Right, Socialism, Fascism, Nazism are all very keen on wiping away the individual, advance their chosen collective and having the state very much run everyday life.
You can see how neo-Nazis & some Alt Right can cross paths and find agreement.
Both the Left & the Alt Right are opposed to Conservatism.
There's another obvious difference with the Left & Alt-Right, the Left is huge and the Alt Right is tiny in numbers. Both seem to be the safe harbour for those who like to be subversive and opposed to conservative values.
The Nationals in Australia however are a Conservative Party. It was only going to be a matter of time before they were spotted in the Nationals (or NSW Young Nationals) ranks and be expelled. They were never going to be allowed to stay once spotted.
I think it was their aim to hopefully infiltrate, co-opt a few members with possibly a delusional view to annexe the entire party one day.
Sorry but for many reasons plus that, they are what's known as "a special kind of stupid"
