National anarchism is a strand of white nationalist thought which proposes that ethnic groups (or races) should separate and live in autonomous groupings. The philosophy finds its intellectual roots in third positionism. Its English founder, Troy Southgate, is a former member of the British National Front. Influences they cite include Bakunin, Kropotkin, Proudhon and Stirner. A common soundbite is: "We simply want our own space in which to live according to our own principles".

Critics completely reject this philosophy as part of anarchist movement, citing anarchism's historic opposition to racism, nationalism, and ethnic and cultural separation. Supporters claim that they are not motivated by racial hatred and do not claim to be white supremacists; instead, they claim to be anarchists who happen to believe in voluntary racial separatism. However, many disagree with national anarchist claims to reject racial hatred, given that national anarchists claim that "racial miscegenation" is a terrible phenomena that "endangers mankind". Furthermore, unlike all forms of anarchism, national anarchists claim that they will not resist authoritarian governments that take marxist or fascist forms. Many anarchists in the "mainstream anarchist" movement, also point to many followers of national anarchism or other "left-wing" white nationalist movements being also members, (or former members), of neo-nazi or other hate groups like American Front. Anarchists are also skeptical of national anarchism because many in the white power movement see it as a tool to recruit anarchists to a more neo-nazi ideology.
