Ideology
The NSV maintains an ideology of conservative radical nationalism and is very active in the Flemish movement. They are often said to be closely associated with the Vlaams Belang, formerly the Vlaams Blok, but deny this connection themselves. They also have very close ties to other grassroots organisations in the Flemish independence movement like the VVB and Voorpost.

Famous quotes containing the word ideology:
“Every sign is subject to the criteria of ideological evaluation.... The domain of ideology coincides with the domain of signs. They equate with one another. Wherever a sign is present, ideology is present, too. Everything ideological possesses semiotic value.”
—V.N. (Valintin Nikolaevic)
“Xenophobia looks like becoming the mass ideology of the 20th-century fin-de-siècle. What holds humanity together today is the denial of what the human race has in common.”
—Eric J. Hobsbawm (b. 1917)
“The ideology of this America wants to establish reassurance through Imitation. But profit defeats ideology, because the consumers want to be thrilled not only by the guarantee of the Good but also by the shudder of the Bad.”
—Umberto Eco (b. 1932)
