The anarchist principles of egalitarianism, rejection of all dominion, and every compulsion presuppose the principle of equality of individuals and include the rejection of any ideology and organizational form, can be justified by the rule. Therefore anarchism rejected national movements and nation-states and aimed at their elimination. Anarchist currents turned since the 1920s decided against fascism, racism and Nazism. Today's anarchists contact also against nationalism.

Why criticize observers as Ralf Fischer that National Anarchists spend their ideology as undercurrent of anarchism. The national anarchy interpret the anarchy to the liberation of multiculturalism. The National Anarchism is a variant of racism in reality. Is involved and for the most part to an Internet phenomenon. Representative of the flow had already noticed before as right-wing extremists.

The German anarchism researcher Jochen Schmück explained to its database of German anarchism:

"And so then see our press documentation in addition to the 99 percent real anarchist and libertarian journals also some strange " marsh flower " of pseudo - anarchists. I am thinking, for example, [ ... ] Also on the leaves of the anarcho- Stalinists or the so-called national anarchists. Because that's part of documentation of the effect of history of German anarchism to the fact that the label " anarchist " by non - or anti- anarchists for tactical or other reasons will be accepted. "

The Constitutional Protection of Brandenburg arranged potter activities in 2002 as a right-wing cross front strategy with references to the Holocaust denial a:

" Another representative of the" cross- front strategy "is the " avowed National Anarchist " Peter Potter from Berlin. He is responsible www.querfront.de for a website aptly named. The mid to late 90s, he was together with Andreas Röhler in " Publishing House of Friends " publication " Sleipnir " out in the contributions of various authors, whatever the political position they represented, were printed - often without their consent. The concept of " Sleipnir " was the boundless freedom of expression. Often found in the magazine article, in which the Holocaust was denied. The " cross- front " editorial goes cautiously to work. So far, it's her but did not succeed, " the political impasse to come out " and to make right-wing extremist ideas more acceptable. "

The sociologist Thomas Pfeiffer assigns potter ideology also as a cross- front test with a proximity to the New Right a:

" A certain renaissance the cross- front strategy in circles, the anarchist and extreme right-wing approaches to merge and therefore as" understand nation alan archived table. " To their recovery, especially, the former editor of the New Right magazine ' Sleipnir ' [ ... ], the Berlin Peter Töpfer, contributed. Meanwhile diving nation alan -monarchist thoughts on several internet sites from this environment. "

The sociologist Rainer Erb According caused potter " so-called cross- front position " especially for confusion and caused rejection from. Erb referred potter National anarchism as a nebulous concept, which is difficult to grasp " confused mind":

" Course is only so much that he refused restrictions and advocated freedom of expression with anti-Semitic preference. He was not subject to standard, only his own. Sober rationality and reflection was not his thing. Mentally, he was floating on a cloud, which he peopled with Max Stirner, Egon Krenz, Christian Worchester and one association of long-term lover of war and Holocaust narratives ' (, AAARGH '). "

Roger Griffin is one of the ideology of the British Troy Southgate to the spectrum cross front and categorizes this as a whole " Metapolitisierung of fascism ".
