Why We Fight

Fülszöveg

Identitarians and others making up the European resistance lack a doctrine
that truly serves as a political and ideological synthesis of who they are — a
doctrine that speaks above parties and sects, above rival sensibilities and
wounded feelings, that brings the resistance together around clear ideas
and objectives, uniting them in opposition to the Europeans' dramatic
decline. Our people today face the gravest peril in their entire history:
demographic collapse, submission to an alien colonisation and to Islam, the
bastardisation of the European Union, prostration before American
hegemony, the forgetting of our cultural roots, and so on.
In the form of an introductory text and a dictionary of 177 key terms, Guillaume Faye, one of the most
creative writers of the European 'Right', makes a diagnosis of the present situation and proposes a program

Identitarians and others making up the European resistance lack a doctrine
that truly serves as a political and ideological synthesis of who they are — a
doctrine that speaks above parties and sects, above rival sensibilities and
wounded feelings, that brings the resistance together around clear ideas
and objectives, uniting them in opposition to the Europeans' dramatic

demographic collapse, submission to an alien colonisation and to Islam, the
bastardisation of the European Union, prostration before American
hegemony, the forgetting of our cultural roots, and so on.
In the form of an introductory text and a dictionary of 177 key terms, Guillaume Faye, one of the most
creative writers of the European 'Right', makes a diagnosis of the present situation and proposes a program
of resistance, reconquest, and regeneration. He holds out the prospect of a racialist and revolutionary
alternative to the present decayed civilisation. The manifesto's principal objective is thus to create a
common language for identitarians by developing teminology that unites everyone and every tendency
seeking to constitute a European network of resistance — a doctrine that goes beyond the old sectarian
quarrels and superficial divisions. All relevant subjects, including politics, economics, geopolitics,
demographics, and biology are broached. As it was for the Nineteenth-century Left with Marx's Communist
Manifesto, Why We Fight is destined to become the key work for Twenty-first century identitarians.
This edition of Why We Fight contains the complete text of the original French edition, as well as
additional material that was added for the German edition. Also included is an original Foreword by
translator Michael O'Meara, author of New Culture, New Right, as well as a Foreword by Dr. Pierre
Krebs, Chairman of the Thule-Seminar in Germany.

7MJuch of it seems prescient in its understanding of the challenges confronting Europe's defenders and
the ideas that might overcome them. These 'defenders', whom Faye collectively labels the *Resistance',
include in their ranks néo-droitiers, regionalists, identitarians, traditionalists, and certain other
anti-system tendencies upholding the primacy of their particular ethnic distillation of the larger
European heritage. [TJhese oppositional elements ,have finally begun to emerge from their political
ghetto, as they hesitantly mobilise in the streets and, more confidently, merge with the national-populist
formations affecting the present fate of parliamentary coalitions. It's fitting, perhaps, that the English
translation of Faye's manifesto should appear in this period of rising anti-system agitation. '
