The Black Madonna 29: Metapolitics

Especially among the far-right , the term ”metapolitics” is used to refer to activities that try to influence the political climate and politicians, without necessarily running in an election and hoping to win. The gist of the idea is that in situations when the idea itself, or the message carrier, is tainted by history to the mainstream public (such as in the case of the far-right) you need to begin by changing the political discourse and slowly making ideas that used to be unthinkable seem acceptable and logical.

This way, you make your own ideas and your party an acceptable and reasonable alternative to vote for, in spite of its history. The easiest way to do this is by generating fear, creating distrust in the institutions of society and leveraging inherent xenophobia. A certain percentage of the population will always be swayed by this and “politicians finally daring to tell the truth”. The established parties will have no choice but to respond and often this will force them to start adopting your ideas, ultimately positioning you as a fully normal political force among others.

Perhaps they will even invite you to join a ruling coalition? You would be surprised the compromises politicians are willing to make when the power to govern is on the line. That is when you make your final move.
