  • The Global New Right and the Flemish Identitarian Movement Schild & Vrienden a Case Study
    Paper The global New Right and the Flemish identitarian movement Schild & Vrienden A case study by Ico Maly© (Tilburg University) [email protected] December 2018 This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NoDerivatives 4.0 International License. To view a copy of this license, visit http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nd/4.0/ The global New Right and the Flemish identitarian movement Schild & Vrienden. A case study. Ico Maly Abstract: This paper argues that nationalism, and nationalistic activism in particular are being globalized. At least certain fringes of radical nationalist activists are organized as ‘cellular systems’ connected and mobilize-able on a global scale giving birth to what I call ‘global nationalistic activism’. Given this change in nationalist activism, I claim that we should abandon all ‘methodological nationalism’. Methodological nationalism fails in arriving at a thorough understanding of the impact, scale and mobilization power (Tilly, 1974) of contemorary ‘national(istic)’ political activism. Even more, it inevitably will contribute to the naturalization or in emic terms the meta-political goals of global nationalist activists. The paradox is of course evident: global nationalism uses the scale- advantages, network effects and the benefits of cellular structures to fight for the (re)construction of the old 19th century vertebrate system par excellence: the (blood and soil) nation. Nevertheless, this, I will show, is an indisputable empirical reality: the many local nationalistic battles are more and more embedded in globally operating digital infrastructures mobilizing militants from all corners of the world for nationalist causes at home. Nationalist activism in the 21st century, so goes my argument, has important global dimensions which are easily repatriated for national use.

  • The Russian Job
    The Russian Job The rise to power of the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation “We did not reject our past. We said honestly: The history of the Lubyanka in the twentieth century is our history…” ~ Nikolai Platonovich Patrushev, Director of the FSB Between August-September 1999, a series of explosions in Russia killed 293 people: - 1 person dead from a shopping centre explosion in Moscow (31 st August) - 62 people dead from an apartment bombing in Buynaksk (4 th September) - 94 people dead from an apartment bombing in Moscow (9th September) - 119 people dead from an apartment bombing in Moscow (13 th September) - 17 people dead from an apartment bombing in Volgodonsk (16 th September) The FSB (Federal Security Service) which, since the fall of Communism, replaced the defunct KGB (Committee for State Security) laid the blame on Chechen warlords for the blasts; namely on Ibn al-Khattab, Shamil Basayev and Achemez Gochiyaev. None of them has thus far claimed responsibility, nor has any evidence implicating them of any involvement been presented. Russian citizens even cast doubt on the accusations levelled at Chechnya, for various reasons: Not in living memory had Chechen militias pulled off such an elaborated string of bombings, causing so much carnage. A terrorist plot on such a scale would have necessitated several months of thorough planning and preparation to put through. Hence the reason why people suspected it had been carried out by professionals. More unusual was the motive, or lack of, for Chechens to attack Russia. Chechnya’s territorial dispute with Russia predates the Soviet Union to 1858.

  • WP022 Alain De Benoist's Anti-Political Philosophy Beyond
    Working Paper Series Papers available in the Working Paper Series are works in progress. Please do not cite without permission. Any comments should be addressed directly to the author Reference WP022 Title Alain de Benoist’s anti-political philosophy beyond Left and Right: Non-emancipatory responses to globalisation and crisis Author Raphael Schlembach Email: [email protected] 2 Raphael Schlembach (Liverpool Hope University) Alain de Benoist’s anti-political philosophy beyond Left and Right: Non-emancipatory responses to globalisation and crisis Key Words – anti-politics, economic crisis, globalisation, populism, neo-fascism Abstract The purpose of this paper is to analyse and critique non-emancipatory and anti-political forms of opposition to globalisation and to the current Eurozone management of the global financial crisis. It will question, amongst other themes, critiques of globalisation that present themselves as mere critiques of capitalist excess or capital’s ‘transnational’ form. This opens up the problem of the national/global antinomy as well as of responses that contain a nationalist or traditionalist element. The paper draws primarily on a critical discussion of the work of ‘European New Right’ philosopher Alain de Benoist. In de Benoist’s writings it detects an anti-political rejection of the political divide between left and right, which aligns it with contemporary neo-fascist opposition to the Eurozone crisis. The paper will reflect upon this alignment through a discussion of Marxist critical theory, putting forward the argument that capitalist processes must be understood as non-personal domination rather than as a system of individual greed or wilful exploitation. This should also open up the possibility to re-evaluate some of the recent progressive, yet largely populist, movement mobilisations directed at the crisis.

  • Thule-Seminar 599
    Thule-Seminar 599 Thule-Seminar Ihrem Selbstverständnis nach ist das Thule-Seminar eine Ideenschmiede zur geistigen Erneuerung Europas. Bei der Gründung am 14. Juli 1980 in Kassel beteiligten sich u. a. der rechtsextreme Verleger Wigbert Grabert und der spätere Vorsitzende des Thule-Seminars, der aus Frankreich stammende Philosoph und Literaturwissenschaftler Dr. Pierre Krebs. Der im Jahr darauf von Krebs im Tübinger Grabert Verlag unter dem Titel ,,Das unvergängliche Erbe. Alternativen zum Prinzip der Gleichheit'' herausgege­ bene Sammelband stellte einen ersten Appell zur Neubesinnung dar, um dem Anliegen der Neuen Rechten in Deutschland größere Schlagkraft zu verleihen. Bis heute bildet der Kampf gegen den „Egalitarismus" den ideologischen Fokus des Thule-Seminars. 1983 kam es zum Bruch zwischen Krebs und Grabert, sodass die drei Jahre später erst­ lllals publizierte Zeitschrift ,,Elemente zur Metapolitik für die europäische Wiederge­ burt" im Kasseler Eigenverlag von Krebs erschien. Neben Krebs als Chefredakteur ge­ hörten auch andere Redaktionsmitglieder wie Alain de Benoist, Guillaume Faye, Julien Freund und Jean Haudry der französischen Nouve11e Droite an. Beziehungen gab es aber auch zu anderen europäischen Ländern, in denen angeblich sogar Auslandsvertre­ tungen bestanden. Seit 2000 erscheint die Zeitschrift ,,Metapo", die sich an einjugend- 600 Thule-Seminar liches Publikum richtet und den Untertitel „Metapol!tik im Angriff zur Neugeburt Eu­ ropas" trägt. Insgesamt blieb die Außenwirkung des Thule-Seminars jedoch be­ schränkt, sodass man sich nicht zuletzt aus Kostengründen auf den Aufbau einer Homepage konzentrierte. Bereits Mitte der 1990er Jahre war der Versuch einer organisatorischen Neugliede­ rung unternommen worden, weil man weder die angestrebte Meinungsführerschaft im rechten Lager erreichen, noch die Zahl der Mitglieder auf mehr als einige Dutzend stei­ gern konnte.
