Views

Dr. Sunic's thought has been described in an introduction to his work as being in the style of the GRECE school of Alain de Benoist". [ [http://home.alphalink.com.au/~radnat/tomsunic/index.html The Tomislav Sunic Collection ] ] It states that he is familiar with the traditions of the New Right, a descriptive term for various forms of conservative, right-wing, or dissident intellectual movements and political groupings which emerged in opposition to the liberal and leftist political milieu of the mid- to late-twentieth century. GRECE was created in January 1968 by forty anti-liberal theoreticians and political activists. Liberal-left critics have argued that de Benoist has developed a "novel restatement of fascism." The introduction to his work says that he "addresses the modern world of hyper-liberalism, globalist capitalism and the crisis of our inherited Indo-European civilization."He has been mildly critical of Jewry for its role in making western countries majority non-white and for its general secular liberalism. Kevin B. Macdonald wrote an introduction to Sunic's book "Homo Americanus" which deals extensively with Jewish activism in the US.

peaking Appearances

Dr. Sunic has accepted a number of invitations to speak before groups thought by liberal academics, ethnic minority activists and NGO's to be far-right groups. For example, Dr Sunic spoke at the 2002 and 2003 entitled Eurofest events, sponsored by the Sacramento chapter of National Alliance. Local media and parties with a particular interest in covering these events categorise remarks by Dr. Sunic as "anti-immigrant", [http://www.splcenter.org/intel/intelreport/article.jsp?pid=116 talk] [ [http://www.newsreview.com/sacramento/Content?oid=oid%3A14507 SN&R > Local Stories > White like me > 03.13.03 ] ] although the topic of his speech in 2003 was "From the Turkish Onslaught on Eastern Europe to the Communist Disaster."

Dr Sunic also spoke at the March 2007 Los Angeles meeting of the Institute for Historical Review, [ [http://www.ihr.org/news/0704_meeting_report.shtml Sunic, Weber and Smith Address Spirited IHR Meeting ] ] The topic of Dr Sunic's speech was the semantic distortions surrounding the expression "hate speech". Dr Sunic traced the lexical manipulations embedded in the German, and French criminal code. His main argument was that the “liberal system, by using 'soft narratives' and 'sentimental normative locutions,' is no less dangerous than the violence and vulgarity of communist double-speak. It is less transparent and therefore it better deceives the masses.”

He also spoke at a summer school meeting of the National Democratic Party of Germany.

He spoke in 2008 in Sweden at Nordiska Festivalen (The Nordic Festival) about the status as victims the zionists and other groups put on themselves.
