The '''European New Right''' (Nouvelle Droite) is the intellectual current founded around Alain de Benoist and GRECE (Groupement de recherche et d'études pour la civilisation européenne, 1968) — the attempt to rebuild anti-liberal thought on metapolitical foundations after classical fascism's defeat.

The Nouvelle Droite is the serious right's long march: it supplied the theoretical vocabulary (identitarianism, ethnopluralism, metapolitics) for today's nationalist movements. Marxist critique notes its constitutive evasion: '''capital is never named as class relation''' "market" and "system" are criticized abstractly while the social relations of exploitation are left intact, and cultural conflict substitutes for class struggle. Infrared's line: take their anti-liberalism seriously, reject their racialism absolutely (see [[Arktos Media]], [[Curtis Yarvin]], [[Strasserism]]).
One constitutive evasion: '''capital is never named as class relation.''' "The market" and "the system" criticized in the abstract while the actual social relations of exploitation stay intact; culture-war substitutes for class struggle. Where the New Right replaces class with race, this movement keeps nation as the form and class as the content ([[Curtis Yarvin]], [[Nazi-Maoism]]).

The European New Right — metapolitics, ethnopluralism, GRECE. Appears in Infrared discourse through Haz's treatment of Dugin, who passed through it and came out unimpressed.

Tracing Dugin's trajectory: 80s "super-fascist" phase (rejecting Nazi Germany and Mussolini as capitalist-controlled), then Pamyat, then contact with the European New Right as the USSR collapsed. But Dugin's own 2004 verdict on them: "a bunch of misfits incapable of original thinking or deeds... they whine and squabble over trivia and grumble at a world they don't understand and are pathologically afraid of" — rating the Red Brigades "a hundred times more attractive than the majority of these European traditionalists."

The standing critique

One constitutive evasion: capital is never named as class relation. "The market" and "the system" criticized in the abstract while the actual social relations of exploitation stay intact; culture-war substitutes for class struggle. Where the New Right replaces class with race, this movement keeps nation as the form and class as the content (Curtis Yarvin, Nazi-Maoism).
