Red–green–brown alliance

Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

The term red–green–brown alliance, originating in France in the 2000s, refers to the alliance of

agrarians (green), and the far right (brown).[4][5]

History

French essayist Alexandre del Valle wrote of "a red–brown–green ... ideological alliance" in a 22 April 2002 article in the right-wing Le Figaro newspaper,[6] also writing of "red–brown–green, the strange alliance" in a January 2004 article in the Politique Internationale magazine.[7] Del Valle's conceptual rendering of Islamist ideological trends appears to be based at least partially on earlier writings in which he charged the United States and Western Europe with favouring the "war machine" of "armed Islamism" via its funding of the Afghanistani mujahideen in the Soviet–Afghan War during the Ronald Reagan presidency.[8] In 2010, Del Valle published an essay in Italy titled "Verdi, Rossi, Neri. La convergenza degli estremismi antioccidentali: islamismo, comunismo, neonazismo" ("Red, Black, Green: The Meeting of Extreme Anti-Westernisms").[9]

The later popularity of the red–green–brown theory and its various permutations derives mainly from a speech given by

paleoconservative nationalists like Pat Buchanan joining a common cause.[5] Many were surprised by leftist Lenora Fulani's support for Buchanan, which has been viewed as an example of a red–green–brown alliance.[10]
