The entire political-ideological movement linked to the sovereignist/populist alignment moves in a context and in a series of precise directions. Continuing along this path new questions arise, on crucial choices which can be responded to either with the dry alternative or with the affirmation of a plural ideological-political wave which despite having a very distinct central axis, contains “different” if not even “contrasting” options. As for the context,starting from the most obvious aspect, we must take note of the definitive drying up of the left political area but more precisely of Marxism. The death of Domenico Losurdo embodies a symbolic end of all "intellectually honest" Marxism with which it is still worth dealing and with which one can also find points of convergence for very concrete political battles. The same can be said for certain political subjectivities, representatives of that area. However, we must realize that Marxism is completely finished, and not for reasons of who knows what historical significance. It has reached its lowest point, the “0” of its descending parable.
The new era, the new millennium, the possibility of looking with a broad historical perspective must bring, and already brings, for those who haven't noticed, to the affirmation or rather the "return" of completely different principles and values ​​that would be more appropriate to define as "spiritual". The inconsistency and "desolation" of the "materialist" and "economist" proposal of Marxism is very little in comparison and is no longer even felt. It is no coincidence that these war remnants of intellectuals, various groups and small groups, they no longer know what to do with the current phase. The worst of them bark fascist and racist, the best present us with the usual pappardelle about socialist revolutions, with the "economy at the center of everything" and the "class struggle" as the engine of historical changes. Great credit certainly goes to Costanzo Preve for having significantly modified the basic approach of Marxism, recovering an idealistic conception very similar to the primordial Marx, up to the “Philosophical-Economic Manuscripts”. However, a truly "revolutionary" movement, nel senso di revolvere, it must be conceived on much broader principles, and Preve's philosophy can be useful up to a certain point, how it can be useful to recover a certain genuineness of the political action of exponents of Marxism and the need for "just" and "equal" societies expressed by it.
The other side to be examined is the field of the right, and I'm talking about the radical area, part of which is in the new direction and supports the government in office. In some cases it even does it "very" enthusiastically, but in others it confines itself to destructive criticism and regardless. The critical positions suffer too much from a reactionary conception tout court, therefore everything that is people is in itself wrong. In “Populism – The end of the right and the left”, Alain de Benoist recalls that unlike these conceptions "modern democracy has resulted not in ochlocracy, the power of the rabble or the multitude already denounced by Plato, but in a new form of political-media and financial oligarchy". The basic question is that while mixing the aspects of demos in the single cauldron of people (the political people), che ethnos (the people defined by their history and culture) that plebs (the people of normal people and the working classes), populism brings the people to the fore as a historical political subject. A “self-conscious” people, which currently has "no" say in the matter and therefore "naturally" asks to express itself. Even from the point of view of an "organic" conception it is true that societies are guided by the head, but it's also true that a belly exists, it is true that the "organic state" is the maximum representation of the superior element that orders the inferior, but it is also true that the lower element exists. The global system, well represented by the EU, it practically "annihilates" both the "belly" and the "lower" element.
In this sense, populism could be seen as an operation of collective awakening of the "sacred feminine" in the peoples of Europe and the West. Indeed, so that the Spirit can excel within the State, in light of these concepts, it certainly cannot be done if the soul is completely submissive, overwhelmed and not conjugated to it. The analysis of right and left from the point of view of the current political-ideological context, it is useful to us because one of the theoretical points of the sovereignist/populist movement is the overcoming of the right/left dichotomy. This is if we combine the overcoming in various formulas, whether we address it with transversalism, in terms of political alliances, ideological and generically "intellectual". In this regard the most correct operation, fluid and linear would directly elaborate "new theoretical syntheses", able to give vent to the best of metaphysics, of science, of "Western" culture within organic theoretical frameworks that themselves act as "practical" guides in political action, both in a strategic key and in the management of new communities and more overall of the State. Ultimately it is much simpler and more achievable to train individuals in "new thinking", rather than putting together elements that express tendencies and positions that are often contrasting and exclusive to each other. There are interesting ideas in this regard, again by Alain de Benoist who succeeds in combining historical elements of conservative thought such as opposition to the "ideology of progress", with historical elements of socialism such as the "economic-social" question, and the new configuration of “warring classes”, himself in the contradiction between peoples and elites. Another hypothesis in the field is that of Alexander Dugin, who in his "Fourth Political Theory" presents a way out 3 nineteenth-twentieth century ideologies – liberalism, socialism/communism and nationalism/fascism –, all by virtue of the rediscovery of the principles and timeless values ​​of pre-modernity.
In his vision, the elites have already achieved a synthesis between the capitalist economic aspects of the right and those linked to the field of "civil rights", aspect of the left. Conversely, it will be necessary to achieve a fusion between the best of the "right", that is, the battle for values, and the best of the "left", that is, the fight for “social justice”. One of the fundamental questions answered by the current "populist moment" is the following: which fighting factor to focus on? It just is, as some "famous" intellectuals claim, hold the clash from the point of view of the "warring classes" while reformulating the contradiction between a financial elite against the bourgeois and proletarian classes, between transnational financial capital vs. national productive capital and lower-middle classes, o, better yet, between creditors vs debtors? Or, albeit admitting the importance of this aspect and its reformulation, is not fundamental, Instead, focus on a "revolution of the Spirit" by generalizing and speaking a language accessible also to "mass" and "contemporary" environments, we could define as "Consciousness"? And this taking into account precisely it in its current "anesthetized" and "colonized" state, both from an individual and collective point of view, through various instruments and poisons such as Americanism, the debasement of identities, drug abuse, the obsessive use of telematic technology, the spread of "decadent" and "trivial" lifestyles, ecc. Still, Another fundamental question to ask is that linked to the political model, a question linked to the doctrine of the State but more generally to the "vision of the world". The sovereignist/populist movement, can lead to an increase in the democratic system such as "organic democracy", recovering the high conceptions of democracy such as that of Pericles, or of the Hómoioi (the Spartiates)? Or it is possible to imagine organic systems, based on "verticality" and "differentiations", linked to the "natural propensities" of individuals - in the same way as concepts developed by Plato, Giorgio Gemisto Pletone, and even before the Indian "caste" system, in its most "clean" and "harmonious" sense?
It is possible to combine this last model with forms of horizontality that place equal dignity on everyone, or that they develop into "holacratic" systems perhaps combined with "communitarianism", that is, self-determined political communities that express their own historical-geographical characteristics? Crucial element is, Then, foreign policy and the overall geopolitical perspective. It's time to affirm in practice, the first exit strategies from NATO, opening up to the “East” and to blocks like China, India, and to South America? It is necessary to support the sovereignty under attack of states such as Syria, the Iranian Islamic Republic, the Bolivarian republics, this without going into the merits of their respective governments, and loudly affirm the struggle of the Palestinian people against Israel and Zionism, and perhaps building an overall axis with an "anti-Saudi" function? We really should lock ourselves into the US games of dividing Europe, rather than affirming a new and strong “Europe of the people”? The Trump administration, who is still an idiot, tries to use the leverage of the new Italian government in this regard but for its purposes of hegemony on the continent. And it's time to be vigilant in front of the various maneuvers of Goldman Sachs and Steven Bannon, which promotes the European populist movement in an anti-Eurasian key, albeit open to Russia, and worse still by hooking up to Israel and the alleged "Judeo-Christian" origin of Europe. And in the geopolitical sphere, it's time to think about a large "Eurasian macro-area", incorporating what Mr. Mackinder, in his report to the Royal Geographical Society on 25 January 1904, defined it as the “geographical pivot of history” (in practice territories of the former USSR and Eastern Europe), but in anti function- thalassocratic, and therefore anti-American? Then onto the Vatican, what could be the future of relations with a State, which continues undaunted to interfere in Italian affairs? This in light of the papacy of Francis I, which embodies the new Jesuit course marked by the communism of the South American "reducciones" and the evanescent discourses on hospitality, acceptance and compassion that are more like “new age” paraphernalia than the principles of Christianity.
Always within this field, but moving to the “hidden” centers of power, it is necessary to "scientifically" monitor the movements of all the lodges and secret societies that operate within the national framework, taking into account those who oppose the new sovereignist/populist course, and those that favor it by trying to pilot it and "channel" it into tracks convenient for them. Other important questions need to be asked regarding culture, development models and in particular on the economic system and its impact on the environment, coexistence and community. We need to start taking action to clearly change the corporate approach, progressist, disinformation and nihilist of schools and public TV? To what extent can we think of squeezing environmental resources, and I'm talking about the finished ones, which in some cases are "already" finished or running out? According to calculations based on the “ecological footprint”, it has been determined that at this rate it will take 1 planet earth and a half to move forward, and this without considering when China or India will enter the world of mass consumption. The underlying question is, so, establish a new economic system based on "degrowth", or always proceed along this path, while regulating the economy, by submitting it to the primacy of the State and modifying the turbo-capitalist system with a more equitable mechanism, fair and sustainable also ecologically?
Important, Then, the question of technology or rather of all that complex of processes that fall within "Transhumanism", in anthropological changes and more generally in the mechanisms of debasement of human qualities and which also include other fields (gender, abuse of drugs and psychotropic drugs, pornografia on line, cancellation of ethnic-national differences, ecc). How to interpret this? With a firm yet well-reasoned refusal, and set, Therefore, to a return to an "integral" Man who develops in his "superior" qualities?And perhaps even managing to regenerate a science and medicine in this sense, that allows us to escape from scientism, and better yet from the entire positivist overall vision, and to recover the unity between Spirit and body/matter? It would make sense, Instead, be able to also interpret this “process” by carrying it, but, contribution to organic society models set on "superior" values, as Nick Land or the Dark Enlightenment movement thinks? One of the fundamental issues to address, with serious research, it's that of "conspiracies". It is never possible to liquidate, as certain political areas do, this theme as the fruit of the fantasies of mentally disturbed people, or as stuff that has become mass-produced and therefore for "losers"? Of course we need to know how to distinguish trivialization from serious issues, the rumor with "true" and "scientific" elements, and again it would be good to delve deeper into the fact that what is passed off as a conspiracy is a real "governmental" operation, albeit secret or behind the scenes, differently from the real "conspiracy" which has to do with the "three-dimensional" plane of history, and with the manipulation of “ancestral” knowledge, obviously not only from an "intellectual" perspective.
This is the point of the discussion, not the fact that if some believe in the “flat earth theory” then any possibility of a “conspiracy” is such nonsense. And then, precisely, keep your guard up against those who spread these bizarre theories, usually on behalf of the same “power centers” they say they are fighting, and with the aim of making people debate for months on irrelevant or erroneous topics, “disguising” the real objectives. Last theme, in some ways the first, it's the "money" issue. What levers can and should be introduced to recover sovereignty and give money, in general, its most appropriate place in life and community relations, and therefore "taking away its primacy"? It is possible to exploit new technologies, like Bitcoin, albeit in adequate and remodulated forms? Or it would be useful to approach complementary and fiscal currency systems, to get around the constraints of the Euro system? It's imaginable, In the end, in an even more avant-garde and clear-cut way, a society where money fully recovers its exclusively conventional value, setting out on the path of its total "overcoming" by virtue of an arrival at forms of economy based on exchange, on barter and similar mechanisms? The new political course must embody the "spirit of the times", and it is necessary to give depth to any type of maneuver and action in the sovereignist/populist context. To this end it is time to start a serious intellectual debate, alternatively to which, vice versa, every maneuver and action, especially governmental ones, they will only be temporary and ultimately unsuccessful.
