Georges Valois - The National Revolution

Georges Valois (2019). The National Revolution The New Bookstore. 192 pages.

Against what is calculable, Valois extols what is priceless: grandeur and heroism. Valois speaks to men of great nations. Valois writes for a new elite of fighters.

"One of the objectives of the national revolution is to put back in their place the different bourgeoisies that have managed the state for a century. We say: the different bourgeoisies, not the bourgeoisie. Because there are several bourgeoisies. There is a Catholic and conservative bourgeoisie, a liberal bourgeoisie, a Voltairian and radical bourgeoisie; they do not hear the people's government in the same way. However, when one governs, she agrees with the others at least on one point: on a certain way of conceiving the order. If it were necessary to reduce these fractions to the same denominator, one would find that it is necessary to inscribe below each one of them: defense and illustration of the individual property considered as an end of all the political activity. "

If we must read Valois, it is not to draw some abstract philosophy, but to inflate the energy of the fighter. Let the reader prepare himself for it: he does not hold there a work that reads with the head, but with the heart. That he empties his mind of all the abstractions that liberal modernity has anchored, that he decolonizes his imagination of bourgeois materialism, human rights and legal mentions of his contract of telephony. Against what is calculable, Valois extols what is priceless: grandeur and heroism. Valois speaks to men of great nations. Valois writes for a new elite of fighters.

Georges Valois (1878-1945), from a peasant and worker line, was one of the great intellectual figures of the first half of the 20th century. An unclassifiable spirit that oscillated between anarchism, syndicalism, monarchism and fascism, faithful to its desire to overcome social divisions, in an organic and corporatist vision of the nation.
