Völkisch nationalism (German: Völkischer Nationalismus, lit. 'Folkist nationalism') is a German ultranationalist, ethno-nationalist and racial nationalist[1][2] ideology. It assumes the essentialist design as Völker (lit. "peoples") or Volksgruppen (lit. "ethnic groups"), which are described as closed ethnic-biological and ethnic-cultural units within a hierarchy of such populations.
At times, Völkisch nationalism was a broad and predominant ideological view in Central Europe, represented in numerous nationalist, explicitly antisemitic and other racist associations of all kinds with many publications and well-known personalities. In some places today, such as Germany, Völkisch nationalism is takes the form of ethnopluralism.[3]
