> Campbell told openDemocracy he had taken to the stage to “draw attention to the fact that National Conservatism is the first step on the road towards fascism”.
Not to dismiss Mr Campbell’s efforts, but this did make me laugh.
National Conservatism touts governance in accordance with a nation’s “linguistic, and religious inheritance” and that “the traditional family, built around a lifelong bond between a man and a woman, and on a lifelong bond between parents and children, is the foundation of all other achievements of our civilisation; it is the source of society’s virtues and deserves greater support from public policy.”
National Conservatism rejects “uncontrolled and unassimilated immigration”, which it describes as “a source of weakness and instability, … threatening internal dissension”. It calls for border controls, “a moratorium on immigration”, a strong state and a reduction of the ability of the judiciary to overrule policymakers.
National Conservatism believes that “no nation can long endure without humility and gratitude before God and fear of his judgment that are found in authentic religious tradition”. It believes that “for millennia, the Bible has been our surest guide” and that “the Bible should be read as the first among the sources of a shared Western civilization in schools and universities, and as the rightful inheritance of believers and non-believers alike.” That “where a Christian majority exists, public life should be rooted in Christianity and its moral vision, which should be honored by the state and other institutions both public and private.”
This strikes me as a longwinded way of saying “one folk, one kingdom, one leader”. I think it would be more concise to say that they believe in “a homeland for white families”.
I’m reminded somewhat of the movie *The Remains of the Day* – I think Jacob Rees-Mogg would be quite at home in the Darlington Hall of the 1930’s.
It’s idiots like Rees-Mogg that are the greatest danger to democracy because they have no idea what their job is, and their whole lives are spent play acting, with no regard to anything but themselves.
Funny watching this,some young guy in crowd, shouts ,”go back to work”.
Typical tory thinking that the serfs ,should work till we die, they also want raise retirement age,again.
I found this bit very interesting:-
>National Conservatism touts governance in accordance with a nation’s “linguistic, and religious inheritance”
What is a Catholic like Rees-Mogg doing mixed up with a group that thinks he is of the wrong religion? Even the King of England is a Protestant.
Is Rees-Mogg going to deport himself?
Alright mate, I’m tellin’ ya, that 72-year-old protester who got in Rees-Mogg’s face is bang on! We’re headin’ straight down the road to fascism, innit? It’s proper messed up how our democratic rights are slowly gettin’ taken away. We should be able to speak our minds and challenge them in power, ya get me?
But listen, yeah? This ain’t some quick thing, bruv. Movin’ towards fascism takes time. It’s like a slow poison that creeps in, takin’ away our freedom bit by bit. We gotta stay woke and fight to protect our democratic values, ya know? We can’t let ’em take it all away from us without puttin’ up a proper fight.
By the way, ‘ave you noticed how social media’s changed everything? Like, people’s attention spans are shot to bits, innit? We’re all scrollin’ through endless tweets and posts, barely takin’ a moment to think about the bigger picture. It’s mad how technology’s messin’ with our brains and distractin’ us from important issues like fascism. We gotta stay focused and stay informed, mate.
It’s a Right Wing conference from the US, I think they already know they are on the road to fascism.
Done the road, now in the fortified carpark and we’re expected to be paying the fees.
These are not the people to warn about that though. They’re mainly looking forward to it.
Of course they are. You know why? Because they know their policies aren’t popular and after the last few years of scandals there’s a good chance they won’t get re-elected but they want to keep the power of being in government so the only way to keep doing that is to become more and more fascist. Only once the majority of voters realise they are not acting for your best interests will they ever truly disappear for god but we’ve got decades of propaganda and misinformation to unravel first
should have used the opportunity instead to finish off what van helsing couldn’t
I wonder if the protester ever mentioned the left wing fascistically banning people during the Coronavirus outbreak for speaking the truth that went against the narrative? Didn’t MP’s and congressmen/women in the U.S get banned for saying that the virus came from a lab?
But yeah sure.. only the conservatives are fascist.

You only need to look at National Conservatism’s [Statement of Principles](https://nationalconservatism.org/national-conservatism-a-statement-of-principles/) to see they’ve already walked quite a few miles in the fascist’s shoes.
