Remigration: Ein Vorschlag

Rate this book
"Remigration" bedeutet Abwanderung und bezeichnet damit einen ebenso normalen Vorgang wie den der Anwerbung von Gastarbeitern oder die zeitlich begrenzte Aufnahme von Flüchtlingen. Nicht normal, sondern erklärungsbedürftig ist das Experiment der "Ersetzungsmigration", das seit Jahrzehnten in Europa und vor allem in Deutschland durchgeführt wird.

Martin Sellner formuliert in seinem Buch einen Vorschlag, wie die Remigration kulturell, ökonomisch, politisch und religiös nicht assimilierbarer Ausländer gelingen könnte.

Weil Sellner um die Brisanz dieses politischen Richtungswechsels weiß, betont er in seinem Buch die Abgrenzung der Remigration von unmenschlichen Szenarien. Remigration hat mit Vertreibung nichts zu tun. Vertreibung war das, was beispielsweise nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg mit 14 Millionen Ostdeutschen geschah, von denen anderthalb Millionen diesen brutalen Vorgang nicht überlebten.

Remigration ist keine Vertreibung. Es geht vielmehr um Anreizsysteme, um freiwillige Ausreise und um klare Kriterien wie Kriminalität, politische Religiosität und kulturelle Ferne. Es geht um einen Prozeß, der sich über 30, 40 Jahre erstrecken würde, wenn man ihn in Gang brächte.

Die Remigration von illegal eingewanderten, von nicht integrierbaren und von unerwünschten Ausländern ist juristisch möglich, politisch gerechtfertigt, moralisch vertretbar und praktisch umsetzbar. Sie wäre ein Prozeß zum Wohle aller.

Der politische Gegner bekämpft den Begriff der Remigration, indem er ihn mit Horrorszenarien gleichsetzt. In der politischen Auseinandersetzung ist Sellners Buch also auch ein Beitrag im Kampf um Begriffe. "Remigration" ist ebenso ein Schlüsselbegriff für die kommenden Jahrzehnte wie "Identität" und "Freiheit".

Martin Sellner aims to outline a political strategy for Europe’s future with Remigration. Yet what presents itself as an analysis quickly reveals itself as ideologically charged wishful thinking devoid of any real political substance. Instead of a thoughtful engagement with migration and society, Sellner delivers a collection of polemics, selective anecdotes, and historical distortions. The result is a book that not only fails argumentatively but also disturbingly exposes how little its author understands—or wants to understand—about the complexity of modern societies.

Sellner claims that “remigration” is a viable solution to social challenges. Yet even a cursory look at his reasoning exposes the absurdity of this idea. Who exactly is supposed to be “remigrated”? To where? According to what criteria? Who decides? What economic, social, and foreign policy consequences would such a plan entail? Sellner offers no serious answers to these fundamental questions—likely because none exist without resorting to massive human rights violations or political impossibilities. Instead, he retreats into vague insinuations, hoping his audience won’t ask too many questions.

Rather than relying on serious sociological or economic studies, Sellner juggles out-of-context statistics and alarmist claims. His historical arguments are, at best, selectively chosen and, at worst, outright distorted. Migration has been a constant factor in human history and, in many cases, a driver of economic and cultural progress—a fact Sellner conveniently ignores. The few numbers he does present serve not for analysis but for dramatization. Serious political science or economic perspectives are entirely absent, presumably because they would contradict his thesis.

Sellner’s approach follows a familiar pattern of right-wing populist rhetoric: he constructs threats, defines a clear enemy, and presents an apparently simple solution to an allegedly existential problem. This method may be effective in political campaigning, but as a serious contribution to debate, it is worthless. Political theory requires more than alarmism and resentment—it demands empirical grounding, nuance, and a connection to reality. Sellner’s book offers none of these.

Even more alarming than its intellectual shortcomings is the sheer detachment from reality underlying the entire concept. “Remigration” could only be enforced through massive state violence or not at all—a harsh truth Sellner evades with rhetorical contortions. In his portrayal, “remigration” is a kind of magical reset button that solves all societal problems without creating new ones. There is no evidence that his proposal would have any positive social or economic effects—quite the opposite. Yet such details seem of no interest to the author.

Remigration is not a serious political analysis but an agitational pamphlet that relies more on rhetorical wishful thinking than on reality. It is a book for those who prefer their world simple rather than complex and are willing to ignore facts in favor of ideology. Anyone genuinely interested in migration policy, social cohesion, or Europe’s future should turn to scholarly works. Sellner’s book, on the other hand, belongs in the category of intellectual failures—or, depending on one’s perspective, political fairy tales.

"Remigration" ist für Martin Sellner nicht bloß ein politischer Vorschlag, sondern eine grundlegende Entscheidung über den Erhalt der eigenen nationalen Identität. In seinem Buch „Remigration: Ein Vorschlag“ entwickelt er ein umfassendes Konzept zu einem der derzeit kontroversesten Themen Deutschlands.

Sellner erläutert darin seine Vorstellungen zur praktischen Umsetzung einer Remigrationspolitik und setzt sich ausführlich mit gängigen Gegenargumenten auseinander, die er aus seiner Sicht zu entkräften versucht.

Mit rund 180 Anmerkungen und Quellen ist das Buch sorgfältig dokumentiert und bietet Lesern die Möglichkeit, viele der angesprochenen Themen eigenständig weiter zu recherchieren. Insgesamt präsentiert es sich als programmatisches Werk, das sowohl politische Befürworter als auch Kritiker zu einer intensiven Auseinandersetzung mit dem Thema Migration anregt.

Für mich ist es ein sehr detailliertes und wichtiges Werk, das dazu anregt, sich intensiv mit dem Thema auseinanderzusetzen und die eigene Perspektive dazu zu entwickeln oder zu vertiefen.

Excelente livro, com a particularidade de ter em poucas páginas o conteúdo suficiente para um entendimento geral do que seria uma politica de remigração a existir no futuro. A concepção do livro está muito bem conseguida atingindo todos os temas fulcrais, seja no plano económico ao moral, dos métodos às categorizações.

Inclui também exemplos históricos de remigração, alguns bem recentes e uma nota final do autor. O conceito de cidade-modelo é uma ideia excelente e as divisão em três categorias imigrantes para facilitação do escrutínio é também uma ideia bem conseguida.

Exemplos de politicas de integração e imigração usados por Israel e o Bahrain são importantes para percebermos que a politica é uma ferramenta moldável, que serve o interesse comum e não um conjunto de ideias imutáveis quase como se fosse uma escritura sagrada.

Excellent book. This was my first attempt at reading a whole book in German after years of studying the language and I couldn't have picked a better choice. As Martin so eloquently states in the novel "whether it was by chance or destiny this book found it's way into the hands of this reader." I cannot recommend this book enough. It outlines the exact policy Europe and the United States need to implement in order to save our nations and people.
