Several days ago, I had the pleasure of attending a nationalist conference about remigration in Spain hosted by Hacer Nación. There were many fine speakers, with Martin Sellner being the highlight. I look forward to what his Remigration Summit 2025 will bring in Milan.

Most of the speeches were in Spanish. I had studied Spanish in high school and for my job in the Air Force and was surprised at how quickly my Spanish skills came back, not just for listening but also for conversing with fellow nationalists during break time. While many of them spoke English, it was a treat to be able to speak with them in their own language. There are many things I would change about the American education system, and teaching foreign language early on is one of them. Being multilingual opens up doors, and google translate is simply not a substitute.

In addition to listening to speeches I also had the opportunity to be interviewed by Martinez Perspective about current events in America. He also conducted several other interviews at the event which are well worth watching.

What I was most impressed by was the venue. It was a quality location and not even the biggest nationalist space in Madrid. They had an extensive library and bookstore which was a delight to browse, along with numerous photos and various memorabilia of Spanish nationalist history.

In Spain, nationalists have real life buildings. In America, they would be in danger of being vandalized or worse. The only comparable thing we have is the VDare Castle, and while it is large and picturesque, it is one of a kind and exists in a deep red area with ample security measures. Unless I am mistaken, the few other nationalist venues in America keep their locations confidential due to anarcho-tyranny.
What’s most striking about this disparity is that Spain has a leftist government, and most cities lean left as well. Perhaps Spain is different because the legacy of their Civil War makes them adverse to political violence. This would explain why Nationalists can have nice things in Spain, but not the rest of Europe.

Until we Americans can do the same as the Spaniards and other Europeans, the First Amendment is false-advertising. Despite having far fewer rights in theory than us, the Europeans often seem to have more in practice. We have more freedom of speech to say what we want on the internet under our own face and name, but try to organize in real life, even with something as basic as a coffee shop, and see what happens.

I’m glad that JD Vance’s Munich speech signals a new policy of liberating Europe (aka undoing our decades of meddling and oppression). But liberating Europe only makes sense if we also liberate ourselves. I would like to see Europe become more like America in regard to free speech, but more importantly, I would like to see America become more like Europe in regard to food quality, demographics, and ironically, also freedom of speech through real life assembly and association.

Nationalists doing things in real life might become a lot easier now with DOGE cutting USAID and other forms of subversive funding. We always knew that gossipy journalists, NGOs, antifa terror cells, and federal infiltrators were all heavily astroturfed, but even I was shocked to discover the true extent of the problem. Barriers will be falling to real life organizing, including many that primarily existed in our heads. There’s no excuse not to get involved now, even if it’s just steering the local Young Republicans towards being more based.

One final point I would like to make is that in the imperialism versus pluralism debate, pluralism decisively wins, at least in Europe. The Spanish nationalists are able to organize so effectively in part because they are proud of their history, culture, struggle, and heroes. Imperialism is an abstraction, but their heritage is a concrete reality.

It was an amazing event and the organizers obviously put a lot of hard work into it, and I look forward to visiting Spain again.
