    Capítulo 4: Teoría y Práctica

    1.023 palabras

    English original here, French version here, Polish version here

    Capítulo 1 aquí, Capítulo 3 aquí, Capítulo 5 aquí

    Para lograr nuestros objetivos políticos, la Nueva Derecha norteamericana debe entender la relación exacta entre la teoría social y el cambio social, entre metapolítica y política y entre teoría y práctica. Debemos evitar desviarnos tanto hacia un intelectualismo inactivo como un activismo poco inteligente y tal vez contraproducente. (more…)

    Against Liberalism:
    Society Is Not a Market,
    Chapter I, Part 3: What Is Liberalism?

    The holistic society of the Middle Ages, as embodied in the “Three Orders of Mankind,” began to be broken down by the coming to prominence of the marketplace with the rise of nation-states.

    Part 3 of 3 (Introduction Part 1 here, Chapter I Part 2 here)

    Translated by F. Roger Devlin

    This strictly economic representation of society has considerable consequences. Finishing off the process of secularization and “disenchantment” of the world that is characteristic of modernity, it results in the dissolution of peoples and the systematic erosion of their particularities. At the sociological level, the adoption of economic exchange leads the society to be divided into producers, owners, and sterile classes (such as the former aristocracy) at the end of an altogether revolutionary process.

    Part 1 of 3 (Introduction Part 1 here, Chapter I Part 1 here, Chapter I Part 3 here)

    Translated by F. Roger Devlin

    Liberalism must, however, recognize the fact of society. But instead of asking why the social realm exists, liberals are mainly preoccupied with understanding how society is able to establish itself, maintain itself, and function. Society, as we have seen, is for them nothing but the sum of its members (the whole is nothing but the sum of its parts). It is nothing but the contingent product of individual wills, a mere assemblage of individuals all seeking to defend and satisfy their particular interests. (more…)

    Against Liberalism:
    Society Is Not a Market,
    Chapter I, Part 1: What Is Liberalism?

    The early philosophers of liberalism postulated the “noble savage” as the type of man encumbered by social problems who had existed prior to the advent of civilization, and who still prevailed among the primitive peoples Europeans encountered in the rest of the world. (Detail from Benjamin West, The Death of General Wolfe, 1771.)

    Translated by F. Roger Devlin

    Not being the work of a single man, liberalism has never presented itself as a unified doctrine. The authors who have laid claim to the name liberal have sometimes given divergent and even contradictory interpretations of it. Yet there must have been enough points in common between them to consider them liberal authors. It is precisely these points in common that allow us to define liberalism as a school. (more…)

    Více než týden po vypuknutí nepokojů se Alain de Benoist pokouší načrtnout jejich „genealogii“: specifičnost francouzské situace, dlouhodobé problémy s masovou imigrací, kultura zapírání a zakrývání etnické reality, individualismus… – to vše ještě více než v jiných zemích přiživilo plameny chaosu.

    Translated by F. Roger Devlin

    Let us sum up. Man is a “social animal” whose existence is consubstantial with that of society. Justice in the first instance is not a matter of rights but of measure; i.e., it is only defined as a relation of equity between persons living in society, so there are no holders of rights outside social life, and within it there are only those to whom rights are attributed.

    Now, for liberalism, man — far from being constituted as such by his bonds with others — must be thought of as an individual unbound by any constitutive form of belonging; i.e., outside any cultural or socio-historical context. (more…)

    Translated by F. Roger Devlin

    When liberalism is said to be the dominant ideology of our time, there are always those who protest by citing, for example, the amount of public expenditures or the level of taxation in our country. But this is looking at the problem through the wrong end of the telescope. A liberal society is not exactly the same thing as a liberal economy. (more…)

    Alain de Benoist on Populism

    The following is the text of a talk that was given at the recent Counter-Currents Spring Retreat.

    The term populism has been on people’s lips in the United States since Donald Trump’s rise, and its popularity goes back a bit farther in Europe, where it had already gained currency as a kind of curse word for anti-immigration protest parties. Following the Brexit referendum and Trump’s election, books on populism began proliferating in the English-speaking world. I expect many of these were solicited by the publishers, hoping to capitalize on a suddenly fashionable subject. During the Winter of 2018-19, Counter-Currents published a series of reviews of these new titles; I contributed four. (more…)

    The Populist Moment, Chapter 12:
    Liberty — Equality — Fraternity:
    On the Meaning of a Republican Slogan

    2,682 words

    Introduction here, Chapter 11 Part 4 here

    Translated by F. Roger Devlin

    As is well-known, the republican slogan “Liberty — Equality — Fraternity” was first invoked during the French Revolution.[1] At that time it was merely one slogan among many others. Falling into disuse under the Empire, and frequently called into question thereafter, it reappeared during the Revolution of 1848 when it was inscribed as a “principle” of the Republic in the Constitution of February 27, 1848.
