Identitarian movement
The Identitarian movement is a pan-European socio-political movement started in France in 2002 as a far right youth movement deriving from the French Nouvelle Droite Génération Identitaire. Initially the youth wing of the anti-immigrant, far-right Bloc Identitaire, it has taken on its own identity and is largely classed as a separate entity altogether with the intent of spreading across Europe, a goal that has largely failed to manifest beyond France.
In Austria
In 2013 Markus Willinger, born in 1992, who grew up in Scharding, Austria and now is a student of history and political science at the University of Stuttgart wrote a manifesto entitled 'Generation Identity: A Declaration of War Against the '68ers', and translated into English from the German by Arktos and published in 2013. The book is considered the founding manifesto of the Identitäre Bewegung Österreichs.

The movement also appeared in Germany converging with preexisting circles centering around the magazine Blaue Narzisse. Drawing upon thinkers of the New Right and the Conservative Revolutionary movement such as Oswald Spengler, Carl Schmitt or the contemporary Russian Aleksandr Dugin, it played a role for the rise of the PEGIDA marches in 2014/15.
As their symbol the Identitarian movement uses a yellow Lambda sign.
