Racist Post-Apocalyptic Utopians

The same as non-racist post apocalyptic utopians, except that either the utopia will be built from survivors confined to one ethnic group (at least in a given geographical region), or where the holocaust will be confined to one or perhaps several, ethnic group(s).

Troy Southgate would appear to be an example of the former, and Heinrich Himmler ended up in the same sort of place. (He definitely didn't start from that kind of position.)

An example of the latter would be William Pierce, the late author of the "Turner Diaries". It is possible to regard Pierce (and some of his Russian counterparts) as more extreme than Southgate, Himmler or even Hitler. Southgate seeks only a sparsely-populated rustic British Isles free of ethnic minorities, Himmler wanted a sort of rustic utopia with an exclusively Germanic population and the Fourth Reich was really only to create a secure environment for this Arcadia. (Assuming that there was anything in their ideology at all and it wasn't merely cooked up to please potential supporters.) Pierce appeared to want a world in which no negros or jews existed, anywhere at all. Never quite official Nazi policy.

Otherwise, Medawar invites comments from readers who can cite instances of RPAUs in government, political think tanks and pressure groups, whether mainstream or extreme.
