Assuming that the readers have read the "product description" at
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.
The first thing to make clear is that there is nothing 'prophetic' or even 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.

about 'The New Jewish Question' which is Faye's latests book, which has received
much criticism from various parties. This however was his first book, and it has
been pivotal in the formation and understanding of the concept 'Archeofuturism'
which is now a household word in most New Right circles.

must-read. Far from it. More about Faye's views later on. For now, all we would
like to do is to prevent the people of this group from throwing 17 Euros out of
the window.

"Archeofuturism: European Visions of the Post-Catastrophic Age". In
Archeofuturism, Faye prophesises a series of catastrophes between 2010 and 2020,
brought about by the unsustainability of the present world order, which he
asserts will offer an opportunity to rebuild the West. Please see below for
