IN MEMORIAM: GUILLAUME FAYE
 |
| Guillaume Faye 1949-2019 |
Despite certain political differences, this page sends heartfelt condolences to the family and to the friends of Guillaume Faye.
For it is with great sadness that this page, like those of his colleagues, have learned of the passing of this known personality. With his contributions to political and cultural thought, one would say that despite his earthly passing, his name will remain unforgotten, that his presence be "youthful" in those who remember especially in his statements, whose quality, vision, breadth and vividness provoked thought to his followers and acquaintances. His work, be it "Archaeofuturism", "Why We Fight", and others, has educated some of the best of today’s youths, who may well come to live the catastrophes that he foresaw and attempted to warn against.
And because of that it made somehow somehow this page, or rather say the writer behind this page did acknowledge him positively for a reference, despite reading through a different perspective. Faye did criticised the left and the right spectrum, of social justice warriors and traditionalists, Liberals and Conservative, of reaction and counterreaction, even the fencesitters couldn't escape from his criticism as well; the way he advocated a synthesis of past and present ideals, if not justifying a need for modern platforms and ancient values, all for a promising future.
But as for this person who read his works and at sometime used for a reference, would say that there are notes that can be agreed whilst some are disagreeable. True that the neocolonial martyr myth in developed countries should come to an end, that every country should share equal responsibility; but to attain this the key lies in people's awakening followed by a will to struggle- for sure they hath enough of seeing a country being a martyr to interest, not just neocolonialism alone but also its domestic stooges.
Anyway, to cut this note short, here is a quote from Faye, via his book "Why we fight":
“We fight for a vision of the world that is both traditional and Faustian, that allies enrootment and disinstallation, the citizen’s freedom and imperial service to the community-as-a-people, passionate creativity and critical reason, an unshakeable loyalty and an adventurous curiosity.”
That's all for now, again, may he be remembered.
