A warning for anti-fascists as ‘brown plague’ spreads in France

Anti-racist organiser Denis Godard spoke to Thomas Foster about the wave of fascist violence on the streets, how the political centre has enabled it—and what the left should do

The far right is on the offensive in France. Fascist mobs have ­rampaged through the streets, sometimes in groups hundreds-strong.

Métaphysique de la guerre: l’Occident comme pétrification du Logos contre le Katechon eurasien

Fissure ontologique au cœur du Monde

La guerre que nous observons sur le plan physique (Hylé – la matière) n’est pas simplement un affrontement d’intérêts nationaux ou de stratégies géopolitiques. C’est une résonance nécro-mantique, une ombre matérielle projetée par une fracture géante vieille de mille ans dans la noosphère de l’humanité. Ce que nous appelons « Occident » et « Orient » ne sont pas des directions géographiques, mais deux systèmes opérationnels fondamentaux inscrit dans la réalité, qui ont perdu la capacité de partager un protocole commun de l’Être.

Carlos X. Blanco: «L’Occident est un concept explosif»

Carlos X. Blanco: «L’Occident est un concept explosif»

Dans cet entretien avec Carlos X. Blanco, l’un des penseurs contemporains les plus influents et les plus hétérodoxes du panorama intellectuel espagnol, nous approfondissons une idée provocatrice: «L’Occident est un concept explosif». Nous discutons de la manière dont ce concept (au-delà d’une simple étiquette géographique ou culturelle) agit comme une lentille permettant de comprendre les tensions géopolitiques, identitaires et philosophiques dans un monde en mutation. De sa formation philosophique à son regard critique sur les narratifs dominants, Carlos X. Blanco nous invite à repenser les catégories à travers lesquelles nous interprétons notre époque.

In memory of the dead in Europe

Activists and groups trying to restore human dignity and, when possible, name to individuals who lost their lives along the Balkan routes, recently organised a commemoration at the cemetery in Loznica. Report

We leave early on Sunday [25 January, ed.]. With my female colleagues, who are completing a year of Universal Civil Service as part of the IPSIA program in Bihać, I set off from the western border to the opposite end of the Bosnian route. My companions sleep while our white van makes its way through the downpour that follows us to Serbia. After a few hours of driving, we arrive at the Šepak border crossing, beyond which lies the city of Loznica. The welcome at these borders is never accompanied by smiles, and this time, next to the grumpy Serbian border guards, we notice new blue all-terrain vehicles parked next to border police cars: in block letters on the side, we read Frontex (European Border and Coast Guard Agency). They will be our companions, visible or invisible, during this entire journey along the Drina, and then along the Una.

Trump splits the West into five parts

In world politics, very rapid and dynamic processes are taking place. This is largely due to Trump’s policy, which brought to the system of international relations a high level of turbulence, unpredictability and radicalness, and events are developing rapidly.

China Now Finds Itself in al-Qaeda’s Crosshairs

Could China replace the United States atop the target list of transnational jihadist groups like al-Qaeda? A recent statement released by Sheikh Saad bin Atef al Awlaqi, the emir of al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, directly threatened China, labeling its government as a “pagan, infidel” enemy whose actions against Uyghur Muslims justify future attacks. The statement marks a clear escalation in al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula’s anti-China rhetoric. But will it lead to a shift in operational goals?
