If some future historian wants to date the end of liberal democracy in Australia down to the last minute, they would have a good case for choosing the speech given by Victorian Premier Jacinta Allan this week.
It was not that the speech and actions announced amounted to anything new. Rather, it was the final culmination of the intensifying radicalisation of Australia’s elites against White Australians that has occurred in the ten years since the Reclaim Australia rallies first put the prospect of a revived White Australian identity back on the table.
This radicalisation has seen the Australian elites in government, the oligarchy and the press gradually abandon the very thing that they claimed to be representing – liberal democracy.
They have done it in the name of the explicitly antiwhite ideology of “never again”, but this rush to abandon the foundations of its own legitimacy in order to attack Australian nationalism has spilled over into every aspect of the government’s interactions with its people, in a generalised crisis that threatens the popular support of their entire system.
Ironically it is the radicalisation of elites that will ultimately provide nationalists with a legitimacy of their own as the true defenders of Australian liberty and democracy.
Prior to 2015, the Australian government had managed to contain nationalists and other dissidents largely within the confines of liberal democracy. They were seen as an annoyance, but not an existential threat.
Of course, the state’s police and secret police had acted ruthlessly, and engaged in individual acts of entrapment and the torture of suspects. But as a whole this was done within the established framework of criminal law. Nationalists were only rarely prosecuted under laws that violated their political rights, but were instead imprisoned for committing acts of violence, whether real or contrived.
The façade of liberal democracy could be maintained, because the only people being prosecuted were individuals found guilty through the regular courts of actual crimes, and not whole categories of people based on their political beliefs. Laws making it illegal to criticise foreigners and other so-called “protected groups” had been passed, but were not yet sufficiently normalised among the public and elites. They could not yet be used if the system was to maintain its legitimacy.
But by 2015 the system itself had changed.
There are a number of different reasons for this, but the most important is that the managerial elite of the government and their oligarch backers had become radicalised against their own population. Antiwhite narratives pioneered by American Jews had filtered through to Australia’s elite educational institutions, and boomers raised on notions of “assimilation” and “colourblind meritocracy” had been replaced in the institutions by a new generation of functionaries who have a deep-seated resentment of White Australians.
The origins of this resentment were not leftist, as it had no hostility at all towards capitalism and no plan to improve the lot of the working class. Instead, it is the logical conclusion of the Jewish triumphalism that underpins the post-1945 order in the West. According to these Jewish-derived narratives, the sole justification for state sovereignty is “never again”. This is the idea that Europeans everywhere in the world have no right to rule themselves due to the alleged Holocaust.
To prevent Europeans from ever organising themselves along racial lines again, any sign of nationalism or ethnic loyalty must be met with overwhelming force. Minorities become natural allies of the Jews, as they are also apparently at risk of the crimes of racism, homophobia, transphobia, Islamophobia and many other things which are said to inevitably lead to further Holocausts. Mass immigration becomes a good in itself, as it leads to Whites becoming a minority in their own countries, and thus incapable of forming a majority that could one day turn on the Jews again.
This incendiary antiwhite narrative had no room for the niceties supposedly afforded by liberal democracy as part of its self-declared social contract, such as legal equality, the presumption of innocence, free speech and majority rule. Instead, all of these things were held to be the inherently racist creations of dead White men, designed intentionally to oppress other races (especially the Jews, who are always first among equals among the oppressed of the earth).
According to the ideology of “never again”, every point of liberal democracy must be overturned to safeguard the Jews (and by extension, other minorities). Legal equality was replaced with non-Whites and sexual deviants being given additional legal protections, with any crime committed against them to be considered a political crime worthy of additional punishment.
All Whites were assumed to carry in them the possibility of potential “hate crimes” due to their “unconscious bias”. Free speech was first decried as leading to violence against minorities, and then as equivalent to violence itself. Majority will and democracy were to be replaced by the will of a kritarchy of unelected judges, who scrutinise the laws for violations of minority rights and themselves create legislation for which there is no appeal.
This narrative now had believers at the highest levels of power in Australia, and was backed by every major institution in the country to varying degrees.
Unknowingly wandering into the gunsights of this radicalised antiwhite elite were the mix of ordinary people and inexperienced political activists who formed Reclaim Australia.
The group was diverse, and its demands incoherent. The most that could be agreed upon was that Islamic terrorism was a threat to Australia and someone had to stop it. Perhaps the government would listen to them if they protested peacefully and asked for protection from this new threat.
But instead of peaceful protesters, Australia’s elites saw a new expression of White identitarianism, and resolved that it should be mercilessly crushed as a lesson to the rest of White Australia.
After all, they were protecting helpless minorities from the threat of a second Holocaust, and none of the niceties of liberal democracy apply to “Nazis”. The protesters were met with an unprecedented wave of state terrorism unleashed by these radicalised elites. The leaders of the protests were spied on and prosecuted for political crimes, violence was committed with impunity against the protestors by state-backed antifa paramilitary groups, activists had their lives ruined by being doxxed and slandered in the press, and undercover federal agents successfully entrapped one activist in a fake terrorism plot.
Only those truly committed to the liberation of Australia from alien rule remained. Yet it was not the nationalists who had radicalised, but the state.
The almost ten years since then have seen a seemingly limitless escalation of state terrorism against this hard core of patriots. Armed dawn raids by police, the seizure of electronic devices, bank account closures, federal agents turning up at workplaces, endless political crime and terrorism charges, violence by state-aligned paramilitaries against the persons, homes and businesses of activists. All of these have been practiced by the state, as it has focused all of its attention on destroying the lives of a few hundred men.
Yet radicalisation breeds paranoia, and the state and its alien backers have begun to see existential threats everywhere. The same state terror tactics pioneered against nationalists were used against ordinary citizens protesting COVID lockdowns and vaccine mandates, Christians protesting abortion, leftists protesting Israel’s genocide in Gaza and even environmentalists protesting against climate change.
Once liberal democracy was completely dismembered by “never again”, dissent on any political question became a Nazi-like threat to be crushed.
The speech by the premier of Victoria has confirmed that this is now the official view of the state, and that whatever shred of liberal democracy remains has been disposed of. Jacinta Allan’s paranoid yet revealing rant pledged that the government will renew “its promise to Jews” and give what “police have asked for” by not only completely outlawing the specific types of protest practiced by nationalists, but also those of Palestine supporters and climate change protesters (whom she specifically labelled “morons”). She obviously capped it off by promising to make “Holocaust education” mandatory in Victorian schools.
The result, among a populace raised to believe that they live in a liberal democracy, has been record low enlistments in the police and ADF, near total disillusionment with mainstream politics, and skyrocketing support for White Nationalism among the youth.
Liberal democracy may be dead in Australia, but the alien tyranny that replaced it is unlikely to have a longer life.
