The Replacist Power can also be described in Soviet Terms as the media-political, industrial intellectual complex, empowered by its judge-like journalists, its censor-like judges, its publisher-like censors, its industrialist-like pubishers, its media magnate-like

industrialists, it's organic intellectuals, its control backrooms, and its court sociologists.

after being so degraded, strangled, crushed, repressed, condemned, sullied, sociologized, statistified - is precisely the truth.

what I believe have been to Replacist Power what Lysenko's biology was to Stalin's power: its henchman.
Sociology, statistics, and figures took it upon themselves to convince a whole people that the standard of schools was improving,

that high culture was spreading in the masses, that immigrants were by no means overly delinquent, that there were in fact fewer and fewer immigrants, that immigration was decreasing, that there had never been so few foreigners in our country

- in other words, that the education system wasn't collapsing, that the Great Deculturation wasn't occuring, that the Great Replacement was a fantasy.
I have been saying it for years. The great replacement is the most severe crisis France has known for fifteen centuries,

because if the ongoing ethnic and civilizational substitution continues to its predictable end, if return migration - which is the only possible response to it - does not occur, history may very well continue,

but it will no longer be ours. It will be the history of another people, springing from another nation, which will be to the France of Clovis, Racine, Manet Paul-Jean Toulet or Jean Moulin, what the Egypt of General Sisi is to the Egypt of Ramses II

and Amenophis IV or better yet what the Turkey of Mr. Erdogan is to the Byzantine Empire of Justinian, Theodosius, and the Palaiologos dynasty.
The consequence of this state of affairs, of this earthquake of belonging, of this revolution of citizenship,

The consequence of this state of affairs, of this earthquake of belonging, of this revolution of citizenship,

is that identity questions: What is being French? What is being European? What is Europe? What is a people? What is the meaning of words? What is a meaning? Is it a physical reality inscribed in time, in history,

in lineage, in verticality, in origins and the origin of origins, in etymology, in the love of words, and in love itself?

the one that determines groupings and parties - however inadequate the term may be. It is with this identity question in mind - namely, the question of the Great Replacement and it's opposite, its indispensable complement: return migration -

that I'm standing before you now and calling with all my strength for the constitution of a force, which could well be a party, a confederation of parties, or transcend all parties, first united around a great refusal, before becoming an acting will.
