Left-wing Pan-Gothism has also endured a stark decline in popularity in recent decades. Among the most common arguments against left pan-Gothism is that the position of minorities such as the Khunyer and Nünsyak would inevitably deteriorate in a new super-state which would necessarily be founded on Gothic cultural dominance, a situation which would only be exacerbated by the increased ''demographic'' dominance of Goths relative to non-Goths in the new state.

Pan-Gothic ideas are known to have existed in [[East Gothica]], present-day [[Yonderre]], since the very earliest Gothic written records of the eigth and ninth centuries. It was hampered however by the constant in-fighting of the East Goths that prevented the formation of even a united East Gothica, denying the creation of a wider pan-Gothic nation. Pan-Gothism united the East Goths to a common defence during the [[Conquest of Joanusterra]]. Pan-Gothic ideas later played a part in many Yonderian civil wars, notably the [[First Potato War]] and [[Yonderian Peasant's War]]. | |||
The [[Gothic People's Party]] of [[Yonderre]] which is represented in the [[Yonderian Parliament]] has pan-Gothism as a core tenet. Modern Yonderian pan-Gothism is often associated with [[Burgophobia]] or even racist ideas. | |||
