Quentin Deranque
The reality of nationalist organizing in the first world
A couple days ago, there was a young man in France by the name of Quentin Deranque who was killed while providing security for a right-wing women’s group called Nemesis Collective. Nemesis Collective was demonstrating at a conference against MEP Rima Hassan, a member of the left-wing France Unbound.
As a result of his actions protecting Nemesis Collective, Deranque was attacked by multiple hooded men, which resulted in his eventual death. He was only 23 years old.
Even more outrageous, all of the men now charged in connection to his death were all members of an organization called “the Young Guard,” which was associated with and provided security for France Unbound events. As a result, the leader of France Unbound, Jean-Luc Mélenchon, has come under fire.
This is just the latest in a series of events where right-wing youth across the first world are assaulted and killed.
Thankfully, there has been some pushback from the French right against this. There have been memorials and marches held in Quentin’s honor for the past few days, with attendance noted to be in the thousands.
Emmanual Macron, the centrist that he is, urges for calm. What he should be doing is understanding that there is a certain political element in France that, like with everywhere else they infest, wish to cause death and destruction.
Of course, Macron has to be careful in dealing with the French left. They are the only reason he is in office right now. During the French elections, Le Pen would always lead in the first round. Then, all of the leftist parties would drop out in the second round in order to push Macron over the finish line.
The entire reason he has survived for this long is because he hasn’t ticked off the French left enough to the point where they wouldn’t play this electoral musical chairs anymore. Once they stop doing that, Macron is gone in the next election. He can’t afford to alienate them now.
Of course, Macron could just as well ally himself with the French right. That will never happen, though. Macron is a banker. Nationalism and banksterism are completely irreconcilable. The only reason the Left props him up is because he is the only thing preventing a nationalist France.
In short, to the right, Macron is useless, to the left, he is a shield.
Ultimately though, the global left doesn’t care about killing people because there are no consequences for them. The levers of society which they pretend to despise are the only things that are keeping the regular people from massacring them.
Take, for example, the story in America the other day when a kid who was going around his school with pro-ICE regalia was assaulted by another kid who was against ICE. There was no arrest and no charges filed, only a three-day suspension.
Now imagine if the pro-ICE kid was the one that did the assault. He would have been clapped in irons and marched down to the police station. The same thing would have happened to Quentin had he been the one who ganged up on a leftist boy.
The entire first-world system exists to protect these leftist agitators.
Why? Because a lot of the people who control the levers of power in the first world used to belong to the New Left counterculture movements of the 60s. While they may publicly preach decency and moderation, the fact of the matter is that they prefer to have their street thugs destroy their opposition while they feign ignorance than allow nationalism to rise.
Nationalism is the true threat to the ruling class, not internationalist socialism.
It reminds me of a cope that online leftists use. They say that liberals would gladly align with fascists before they allow socialism or communism to take root. They base this off of how the German conservatives allied themselves with the National Socialists over the Communists, which ultimately allowed Hitler to take the Chancellorship.
Yet they omit the part where communism allied with liberalism in order to defeat fascism. If liberalism was so willing to embrace fascism, then why did the liberal powers not only reject it, but gave the communists a free pass to take over eastern Europe in order to defeat it?
Then you have instances like today in France, where left-wing parties will gladly support a liberal party in order to keep the nationalists out of power, and the liberal parties agree with this stance.
So not only is the online redditor leftist spiel about liberalism aligning with fascism incorrect, but it is also objectively untrue from a historical standpoint aside from one instance.
Of course, this isn’t to say that the French National Rally is fascist in any circumstance. They follow the form of moderate nationalism seen in other European countries like the AFD in Germany and Brothers of Italy in Italy.
The reason why these parties are seen as “fascist” is because of their immigration policies. That is it. That is the basis of the boy who cried fascism throughout the entire 21st century. Do you support cutting off immigration? If so, you are a fascist. You can be left-wing on every other issue, and you would still be called fascist because you don’t support the replacement of your people.
Oh yeah, and the refusal to allow your child to have their genitals mutilated because they think they are the opposite sex. That is the second thing that will get you called a fascist regardless of any other position you have. Weird how that works.
So yes, this violence against nationalists will continue unless there is a change in regime.
As for me, I stand with the French in their time of mourning. Hopefully they can get real justice for Quentin.

The political situation in France is even more complicated than that. Like US presidents, Macron cannot run for a third mandate. And LePen might really well be bared by justice to run, leaving her place to her quite popular but very young lieutenant.
So anyone from Left to Right that come second has a big chance to be elected. They all want to take their chance. 12 or even 10% of the vote at the first round could be enough !
To the point that someone like Villepin, former PM from the Right, is overtly flirting with the Far Left, ready to get their votes if need be....
France Insoumise does not translate to France Unbound. Unbowed might be the better word. Insoumise literally means "not submissive". Defiant would also be better.
