Third Position

The Third Position or Third Alternative is a political position that emphasizes opposition to both communism and capitalism. Advocates of Third Position politics typically present themselves as "beyond left and right", while syncretizing ideas from each end of the political spectrum, usually reactionary right-wing cultural views and radical left-wing economic views.

Third Positionists often seek alliances with separatists of ethnicities and races other than their own, with the goal of achieving peaceful ethnic and racial coexistence, a form of segregation emphasizing self-determination and preservation of cultural differences. They support national liberation movements in the least-developed countries, and have recently embraced environmentalism.

The term Third Position was coined in Europe, and the main precursors of Third Position politics were National Bolshevism (a synthesis of nationalism and Bolshevik communism) and Strasserism (a radical, mass-action and worker-based form of Nazism, advocated by the left-wing of the Nazi Party until it was crushed in the Night of the Long Knives in 1934).

Political scientist Roger Griffin dismisses Third Positionist claims of being "beyond left and right" as specious. He interprets Third Positionism as an ideological mutation of the far right, one which rejects both Marxism and liberalism for a synthesis of palingenetic ultranationalism with either socialism, distributism, corporatism or anarchism.
