Guillaume Faye (7 November 1949 – 7 March 2019) is a French philosopher known for his right-wing paganism, his call for a Eurosiberian Federation of white ethnostates, and his concept of archeofuturism, which combines traditionalist spirituality and concepts of sovereignty with the latest science and technology.

Identitarians and others making up the European resistance lack a doctrine that truly serves as a political and ideological synthesis of who they are – a doctrine that speaks above parties and sects, above rival sensibilities and wounded feelings, that brings the resistance together around clear ideas and objectives, uniting them in opposition to the Europeans’ dramatic decline. Our people today face the gravest peril in their entire history: demographic collapse, submission to an alien colonisation and to Islam, the bastardisation of the European Union, prostration before American hegemony [1], the forgetting of our cultural roots, and so on.

He holds out the prospect of a racial and revolutionary alternative to the present decayed civilisation. The manifesto’s principal objective is thus to unify the resistance by developing a common doctrine that unites everyone and every tendency seeking to constitute a European network of resistance – a doctrine that goes beyond the old sectarian quarrels and superficial divisions.

We are standing face to face with the barbarians. The enemy is no longer outside but inside the City, and the ruling ideology, paralysed, is incapable of spotting him. It stammers, overcome by its own moral disarmament, and is giving up: this is the time to seize the reins. Present society is an accomplice to the evil that is devouring it.

We should avoid being backward-looking, concerned with restoration and reaction, for it is the last few centuries that have spawned the pox that is now devouring us.It is a matter of returning to archaic and ancestral values, while at the same time envisioning the future as something more than the extension of the present.

[1] It is our humble opinion that Mr. Faye took strong issue with the American governments’ constant meddling in foreign affairs, including France of course, and not necessarily with the European American people. –ed.
