Ecofascism and the Politics of Replacement in the Discourse of the Nordic Resistance Movement (NMR)

• Recent terrorist attacks from Christchurch, New Zealand via Bærum, Norway, and onto El Paso, Texas have brought to the fore the intersections between far-right replacement theory and ecofascism. In this chapter, we explore the discourse of the most prominent and violent ecofascist, neo-Nazi organization in the Nordic countries in the past decade; the Nordic Resistance Movement (or NRM). More specifically, we examine the weekly NRM podcast Nordic Frontier, which first aired in 2017, and the 2016 NRM manifesto Our Path: New Politics For New Times. We argue that the discourse of the NRM is profoundly inspired by ecofascist ideas and envisions the Nordic countries as a preserve of Nordic populations racially coded as ‘white.’
