Left-right-Loyalism
Honestly, I’ll start off being honest. The book was not at all what I expected. I thought I was reading a book about loyalism, its political nature and the people involved in such a movement, not a biography per se. I mean Portinari seems like a nice bloke but honestly not a writer nor a political commentator. He’s a nationalist at heart and a unionist, little else. It is true he was in the National Front for a bit but he gave up working for the NF for a movement called the UDA in Northern Ireland, as a Londoner. Plus he could have tried to really build up a movement back in the UK, instead he preferred militant loyalism which to this day has really died out. Is there a future for loyalism? Not at all. They are all zionists nowadays and cry about being conservatives. They have no revolutionary instinct, they need to really follow what groups have done back in Great Britain such as C18, BNP and others and especially to not be ashamed of such associations. The future of loyalism is grim as it is and pursuing a relationship with evangelical protestants and the Tories in the UK (or reform UK at that) isn’t going to stop the inevitable. They need a revolutionary structure to break the deadlock, abandon democracy and embrace militarism and spartan discipline. Embrace socialism in a nationalist structure and abandon zionism. Portinari was just a pawn in this capitalist game which seeks the destruction of nations (as told by his time in prison) but maybe all his efforts were for naught.
