Italian Vanguard (English)

At a time when terminal capitalism seems to be hurtling all the contradictions of society towards an inevitable, crashing endpoint, when ancient Indo-European values are being openly denigrated and suppressed, when the very survival of a life- and will-affirming foundation of civilization is threatened by the deadly grasp of the incestuous child born of late capitalism and communism, despair and discouragement abound.

Yet this is the perfect time to ride the wave of history, just as in the epic scriptures that form the pillars of our civilization, from the Vedas to the Iliad and the Aeneid: amid the burning ashes of Troy, it is time for us to move and reclaim the land of our ancestors.

Isolation, despair and outrage are symptoms of the psycho-biological warfare waged by the negative forces hiding behind the apparent chaos of contemporary society. The cure is action and the creation of a new founding myth.

In this volume you will find different approaches to this cure in philosophical, political and transcendental declinations – not one denying the other, but intertwined in a solid, coherent whole.

This publication aims to make known outside Italy some of the most provocative and innovative minds that the non-conformist identitarian world has brought together over time, and this international edition has the ambition of bringing the ideas of the Italian vanguard back into the debate.

The Italian vanguard presented in this volume boasts an impressive range of authors who, with their creative differences and similarities, fully embrace the European spirit: a spirit where opposites meet, where the vision of ancient fortresses overlaps with spaceships soaring into the interstellar void towards new worlds, where agriculture meets the most daring advances in bio-technology. A vision of power, myth and memory: a truly archeofuturistic tension that places our authors in a continuous line of thought that goes back to the daring exploits of Marinetti, Depero and the Italian futurists of the 1920s.
