The more chaos grows in the South, the higher the number of Africans and of
Asians desperate to emigrate and to settle down in Europe, the more chaos grows
in the North.
The application of the refugee status keeps being extended, as the pressure
keeps growing : environmental migrant's, the latest added to the list, may "lack
an agreed definition", those who produced it do not lack imagination, and they
can be fully trusted to apply it just as imaginatively. It is often pointed out
that it's only fair, or logical, that, having been colonised by us, they now
colonise us, now that decolonisation has finished. All in all, we would be
hoisted by our own petard. In actual facts, and bearing in mind that modern
colonisation was not exactly our own petard
(http://thompkins_cariou.tripod.com/id34.html), and decolonisation even less so,
it can be argued that the effects of colonisation on Southern countries,
especially that which was based on colonialism, were not all harmful, whereas
mass resettlement of Southern populations in Europe is pure parasitism.
The view that "The transplant of the Western socio-economic model into Southern
countries turned out to be explosive", since, instead of returning to their
traditional social and economic activities, they followed in the West's
footsteps, is a cliché which is rather widespread in traditionalist and
humanitarian circles, and in current right-wing circles, too, and which does not
withstand the historical analysis. Not only it should be emphasised that "The
transplant of the Western socio-economic model into Southern countries turned
out to be explosive" as soon as decolonisation started, while it worked quite
well during colonisation, but, more importantly, it should be wondered why those
countries reportedly did not return to their so-called traditions, once they
were freed from the yoke of the West by the... West. The reason they did not
return to their traditions is that, during colonisation, they had never
abandoned them.
Merchant capitalism developed in China, in the Indian subcontinent, and in
Africa, at the same time or, in some areas, even before it developed in Europe.
Given that "Those Europeans who first came into direct contact with India in the
latter part of the 18th century, when the British began their conquest of the
subcontinent, found a region much of which was undergoing a deep economic and
political crisis" ;
that "With the establishment of the Mogul empire in the 16th century, there was
'the growth of commerce and the extensive activation for the market... The rapid
spread of the tobacco crop within the first 50 years of the 17th century
throughout the length and breadth of India is an index of how quickly the
peasant was now able to follow the market'.
There was development of the means of production, with the adoption of many of
the same innovations that took root in medieval and early modern Europe. Irfan
Habib has pointed out that the Indian subcontinent had developed to the same
general level in making elementary machines as western Europe by the 17th
century. The building of the Taj Mahal in the mid-17th century utilised the
skills and techniques of craftsmen from right across Eurasia, while the Indian
textile industry used looms and spinning wheels essentially the same as those
used in 16th and early 17th century Europe. Overall, there was a massive growth
of markets, of trade, of craft production (it is worth remembering that in the
18th century India sold much more to Europe than vice versa) and of
urbanisation.
The direction of economic and social development in India was not fundamentally
different to that in Europe. This was because of considerable similarities in
both the relations of exploitation and the productive forces. The direction in
which Indian and west European economic development was heading was the same.
There were considerable differences in speed of development. But these
difference existed on just as great a scale between different regions within
both Europe and India." ;
that, "by the twelve century, Merchant classes arose that were able to influence
society politically by making alliances with monarchs against the big landed
aristocrats, in much the same way as in the absolute monarchies that arose at
the end of the west European feudal period. Sometimes these merchants moved over
from involvement in trade alone to involvement in the production of things like
iron, salt and luxury goods. And by the end of the first millennium the owners
of large estates began to see advantages in relying on tenant farmers or wage
labourers to work them--again, a development similar to that which took place in
the late European Middle Ages. The economic and political changes were matched
in both periods by ideological ferment, with new sets of ideas challenging the
Confucian worldview of the landed gentry class.
By the 12th century this society had most of the productive techniques which
were to be associated with the rise of capitalism in Western Europe 500 years
later. There was widespread use of 'free' labour. And there was a merchant class
capable of exerting influence on the state. Yet capitalism did not break
through." (http://pubs.socialistreviewindex.org.uk/isj102/harman.htm) - given
all this, it is, to say the least, extremely fanciful to state condescendingly
that "The differences between East and West seem to have been continually on the
increase, but this divergence can be said to have been one-sided in the sense
that it is only the West which has changed, whereas the East, broadly speaking,
has remained much the same as it was in times that we are accustomed to call
ancient, but that nevertheless are comparatively recent". ('Introduction to the
Study of the Hindu Doctrines', R. Guénon)
The next message on 'Archeofurism' will go deeper into the determining
contributions of ancient, traditional, China to the current financial crisis.

immigration of settlement has been increasing exponentially for 40 years or so
in Western European countries. Many more, be it out of compassion, out of
humanity, or simply because they are bastardised, claim that, far from
representing a threat for the biological survival of native European peoples,
extra-European mass immigration to Europe is an "opportunity". The author is
certainly not one of these. The category to which he belongs in this respect is
that of those who ascertain the issues arising from mass immigration of
extra-Europeans to Western Europe without going back to its actual root, when
they are not simply trying to duck or to hide it, either behind second causes,
or behind a veil of consequences. At best, "the collapse of Churches in Europe"
in the second half of the twentieth century could be treated - as a working
hypothesis - as one of the various catalysts of the "highly volatile situations"
with which "the ever-increasing colonisation of settlement of the Northern
hemisphere by Southern peoples" is fraught, if and only if the Orthodox church,
the Catholic church, and Protestantism once proved, both in principle and in
practice, to go against phenomena such as extra-European mass immigration to
Europe. Admittedly, they do not oppose such phenomena ; not only they do not
oppose them, but they desperately promote and even foster them, both
ideologically and 'on the ground'. Ideologically speaking, as rightly noted by
A. Rosenberg, both the Church and Freemasonry gather their supporters in the
name of love or of humanity, in the name of internationalism : "There is no Jew
or Greek, servant or free, male or female : because you are all one in Jesus
Christ" (Galatians 3:28) has always been, and is more than ever, a cornerstone
of the Church's dogma and praxis : never has the Church been in a better
position to make its dream of "universal love", which was once dreamt by its
age-old forerunners, come true as it is now, as no higher antithetical force
seems to be able to counter and to check it on the political plane, and, as a
result, its leaders - the pope and Co. - whose political power is still
substantial, and whose influence is still strong, have a free hand. Christianity
may have collapsed as a faith, just as Communism did as a form of government,
the fact still remains that Christianity as a worldview is stronger than ever :
Christian values such as "God's special love for aliens" have permeated the
psyche of the modern native European man, to the point of possessing it and of
making him forget the superior interests of his kinfolk.

> Low birth rates among white Europeans will, and, for that matter, already have
an economic and financial impact on European countries. The story goes that the
time is near when the contributions on wages and salaries paid jointly by
employees and employers will not suffice to pay the pensions of retired people.
According to the author, two dogmas of "the egalitarian ideology of(old)
modernity have prevented us from remedying this situation : first, anti-natalism
(….) ; then, the egalitarian refusal to switch from a general social security
scheme to a pension funds system". Arguably, the anti-natalist policies pursued
by the representatives of the forces of occupation in Europe since 1945 have
been fully successful, since the total fertility rate is not high enough to
replace this area's population. As to the Anglo-Saxon pension funds system he
advocates, or rather he advocated at the time he wrote 'Archeofuturism', ten
years before pension funds were hit hard by the 2008 financial crisis, it is a
direct offshoot, entirely based on a ponzi scheme, of the liberalism, of the
speculative capitalism, he claims to fight. The story goes, we have just
recalled, that, as the number of retirees rises in proportion to the number of
workers, it logically ensues that the latter's contributions to pensions will
end up not being enough to cover the former's pensions ; the story is believed
universally, including by the author ; the story is inaccurate. In reality, the
population of Western European countries keeps rising, and so does,
proportionally, the working population ; more precisely, the number of
extra-Europeans keeps rising, while the number of Europeans keeps dropping, and,
conversely, the extra-European working population keeps rising, while the
European working population keeps dropping. So what's the matter ? The matter is
that working population refers to the number of people who are willing and
eligible to work, and not to the number of people actually employed ; it
includes job seekers, who live on State benefits (unemployment, which is more
than ever on the rise, cannot possibly be stamped out in the current state of
affairs). And so do a large number of extra-European immigrants. It ensues from
this, and, this time, logically, that the rise of extra-European immigration to
Europe means, more or less proportionally, the rise of unemployment in Europe as
well as an exponential increase of the funds destined to social security by the
impostors who currently run European countries ; they are being raised and
embezzled more and more aggressively, at the native European taxpayer's expense,
to subsidise the program of colonisation of Europe by extra-European populations
and the genocide of European natives. By the end of this century, or even
before, extra-European populations in Europe will be a majority, among which a
large number, even larger than now, will still be living on State benefits,
pensions will no longer exist, except for those who will have been able to
afford investing some of their money into a fund pension throughout their
working life, provided that that fund pension, due to an umpteenth 'financial'
crisis, does not vanish in thin air unexpectedly by the time they retire. The
author would object, or rather prophesise, that what's left of society is bound
to implode before that point of no return is reached. As far as we are
concerned, we would object to his prophecies that civilisations do eventually
die, after falling into a coma that can last ages. The ongoing economic and
demographic crisis can make the society we live in implode, if the impostors who
run it, and, more importantly, those who are behind the scenes, do not know what
they are doing and they are, so to speak, in a visual flight situation : if, on
the other hand, they know exactly what they doing, post-modernity could outlive
itself.

http://www.arktos.com/guillaume-faye-archeofuturism.html/ let us go through the
sixth main factors which the author sees combining to bring about "the series of
catastrophes" he "prophesises". The first factor is the "cancerisation of the
European social fabric", owing to "the ever-increasing colonisation of
settlement of the Northern hemisphere by Southern peoples", which is "fraught
with highly volatile situations caused mainly by the collapse of Churches in
Europe, which has become a land of conquest for Islam". These factors of social
disintegration (and not of "social break-up", as this phenomenon is clumsily
called by the author) will be aggravated by a demographic and economic crisis
that will only deteriorate". The third factor is termed the "Southern chaos" :
"By becoming industrialised, Southern countries, despite (despite?) their
deceptive and fragile economic growth, have created an ever-increasing social
chaos." The fourth factor is "the threat of a worldwide financial crisis", which
would be far worse than the Great Depression in the 1930's "and would lead to a
global recession". The rise of religious fundamentalisms, essentially Islam, is
presented as the fifth factor, and "the uncontrolled increase of global
pollution", in that it represents "a threat to the physical survival of
humanity", as the sixth.

new about these views, about this phenomenological diagnosis of the crisis of
the European world, which, leaving aside, perhaps, the ecological issue, was
already made, back in the 1970's and even sooner, by the few true
representatives of the Right left at that time, and, to some extent, even
acknowledged by the petit-bourgeois clique of the institutionalised French
so-called far-right party, the "Front National", which, in 1998, Faye, with a
typical unintentional sense of humour, called "revolutionary", and which, in a
few months, could be run by a female, the daughter's current owner. Needless to
say, the fact that Faye's views on the crisis of the European world are not
'new' does not bother us in any way. Far from it. All we are interested in is to
find out whether or not they are consistent with a true right-wing
Weltanschauung, along Evolian lines, or, better, along the lines of the spirit
J. Evola was essentially a bearer of. This will be the object of our next post
on 'Archeofuturism'. Meanwhile, all those who have read the book in question and
have cared to read the various messages we have posted onto this list on
Eurasianism and National-Bolshevism, on the collusion between the heads of
so-called Muslim Fundamentalism and the CIA body, should be able to figure out -
more or less - its content.
