De Benoist's analysis of the idea of progress is the theoretical beginning to an understanding which should end in decisive practice, and this in spite of what de Benoist himself seems to be saying.
De Benoist distinguishes sharply between democracy, which he believes is the only natural form of politics, and liberalism, which places the human individuals at the centre of politics and morality.
De Benoist hints at but does not fully expose the emptiness at the heart of libertarianism and it is libertarianism which I would prefer to use as a term for the ideology of liberalism, since classical liberalism is far removed from the what de Benoist discusses.

Alain de Benoist speaks of the urgent necessity of resacralizing the world with a strong apology for a natural spirituality, hindered and choked in the past by the doctrine of a unique revealed God and a unique salvation offered in Jesus Christ.
Alain de Benoist understands, though, that there is in the Bible something called sanctification, but the sacred, has been replaced by the saint, a totally different and antithetical concept to his interpretation of the manifestation of the "Religious".

 The Scorpion
Alain de Benoist points out the irony of the fact that the former colonies had liberated themselves in the name of nationalism and self-determination, whilst it was internationalists in the West who supported their struggle.
De Benoist does not mention the role played by the philosophy of the state, in say, the scramble for Africa, but surely the role of the state was crucial in supplying the support and not least financial support to make colonisation feasible.
The fact that de Benoist omits this point is serious, since the reader is left with the uncomfortable feeling that the omission is not so much a slip as a wish to avoid a historical analysis which would place a greater responsibility for colonialism on philosophy of the state than on that of free trade.

Benoist: First, they are based on a kind of scapegoat logic which consists in making one group of the population responsible for a situation whose causes are external.
Benoist: It is the fault of the vast movement of techno-economic homogenization, which is eroding collective identifies nearly everywhere and is producing a new form of spiritual distress which Roger Garaudy rightly called "nonsense." This generation of non-sense, i.

 The New York Review of Books: Paris: Moses and Polytheism
De Benoist claims that the central issues of the traditional right, among them genetics, race, and inequality, have been discredited by their association with Nazism, and he tries to give them new life by grafting them on to such subsciences as sociobiology and ethnology.
De Benoist favors equality of chances (Nixon's Olympic metaphor of "an equal shot at the starting line"), and after that everyone is on his own.
Reading de Benoist's works, I had the clear impression that he did not arrive at his notion of inegalitarianism by induction from the data but that he began with it and then started collecting all the information that could support his conviction and attacking everything that might militate against it.

 Fascism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
When Henri De Man's Italian translation of Au-dela du marxisme emerged, Mussolini was excited and wrote to the author that his criticism "destroyed any scientific element left in Marxism".
While opposing communism and social democracy, fascism was influenced by the theories of Gabriele D'Annunzio (a former anarchist), Alceste de Ambris (influenced by anarcho-syndicalism), and former socialist Benito Mussolini.
By the mid-50s, the Spanish Miracle and the rise of the Opus Dei in the Franco regime led to Falangist fascism being discarded and fascists minimized in importance.

With a pen as mighty as his former comrade, he now challenges Benoist's claim that Third World immigration has become an undeniable, and hence uncontestable, facet of European existence and that it must be dealt with in ways recognizing it as such.
The cause des peuples is nevertheless associated with a Christian-like altruism that demonizes our civilization, accuses it of having destroyed all the others, and does so at the very moment when these others are busily preparing the destruction of our own civilization.
The cause des peuples is collectivist, homogenizing, and egalitarian, while the 'combat of peoples' is subjectivist and heterogeneous, conforming to life's entropic properties.

 Left, Right and Le Pen
Alain de Benoist, writing in the German conservative weekly newspaper Junge Freiheit, provides one of the best analyses, drawing on data from polls taken in the months before the election:
Benoist is a leader of the Nouvelle Droit — the “French New Right” — an intellectual movement tangentially related to Le Pen’s political movement.
There is much with which an American conservative must disagree in Benoist’s philosophy but he is surely correct to emphasize the differentiation between “center” and “periphery.” The “center” is the State itself, which has assimilated the conventional Left and Right into its own substance.

 Watches-On Being a Pagan   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
In On Being A Pagan, Alain de Benoist presents a thorough and insightful exploration into the rebuilding of a healthy and culturally rooted West through the foundation of a strong and feasible Pagan philosophical world-view.
de Benoist doesn't spend endless reams in unsubstantiated banter or heated rabidity, but instead presents his arguments from a clearly relevant and thoughtfully articulate perspective, rich in supportive facts and historical foundation.
In bringing us through such lengths, de Benoist disentangles each and every knot of the choking brambles of the gross inadequacies of the artificial overlay that is the cult of the Completely Other and its secular offage, and sets sturdy footing for a legitimate and viable Paganism with careful design and deliberate steps.

For more than thirty years, Alain de Benoist has methodically undertaken a work of analysis and reflection in the world of ideas.
Although his work is known and recognized in many countries, Alain de Benoist remains largely ostracized in France, where too often his name has been summarily reduced to that of the so-called New Right, a category in which he has never truly recognized himself.
From what I've read of his work de Benoist is a challenging and original thinker whose work deserves to be more widely read and recognised than it is.

 Democracy Revisited: Alain de Benoist - Stormfront White Nationalist Community   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
“All ancient democracies,” writes François Perroux, “were governed by a de facto or de jure aristocracy, unless they were governed by a monarchical principle.” 16 According to Aristotle, Solon's constitution was oligarchic in terms of its Areopagus, aristocratic in terms of its magistrates, and democratic in terms of the make-up of its tribunals.
In short, writes Jacqueline de Romilly, “the people ruled, instead of being ruled by elected individuals.” She cites the text of the oath given by the Athenians: “I will kill whoever by word, deed, vote, or hand attempts to destroy democracy....

Thomas Molnar and Alain de Benoist have both written extensively on the problem of secularization in the modern West.
The United States until the 1950s impressed foreign visitors, such as the French traveler Alexis de Tocqueville, as a land that combined religious freedom and pervasive public piety.
Against the tendency toward approved manifestations of piety, a militant secularism has asserted itself in the form of opposition to, for example, nondenominational public school prayer (even silent meditations are disallowed as a form of public school prayer) or public funding of activities associated with religious bodies.
