<\/a><\/p>\nThe protests in France, symbolized by yellow vests, cover an increasingly large part of society. Political experts have already called this movement a \u201cnew revolution\u201d. The scale of the \u201cyellow vest\u201d movement is already so serious that it is absolutely necessary to analyze this phenomenon in a detailed way.<\/span><\/p>\n We are dealing with a vivid manifestation of modern European populism. The meaning of populism as a phenomenon rising from the political structure in the societies formed in the wake of the Great French Revolution, and based on the confrontation between right and left, are changing radically.<\/span><\/p>\n Populist movements reject this classical political left\/right scheme and do not follow any strict ideological attitudes, either right or left<\/strong>. This is the strength and success of populism: it does not play by the preset rules. Nevertheless, populism has its own logic: for all its spontaneity, it is quite possible to trace some logic and even the beginnings of a populist ideology taking shape before our eyes.<\/span><\/p>\n First of all, the fact that populist movements are directed against the political elite as a whole, without making a distinction, whether it is right or left-wing, is striking. This is the \u2018uprising of the periphery of society against its center\u2019. In his famous work, the American sociologist Christopher Lasch (1932\u20131994) designated the form of government that prevails in modern Western society as the \u201celite revolution\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n At the beginning of the 20th century, it was customary to follow Jos\u00e9 Ortega y Gasset\u2019s discourse about the \u201crevolt of the masses\u201d, whose increasing influence on politics threatened, it seemed, to destroy Western culture \u2013 the European Logos.<\/span><\/p>\n But Christopher Lasch noted a new political trend: it is the elites that are destroying culture and European Logos today. These new western elites, who have reached the pinnacle of power only by their resourcefulness and immense will to power, are much worse and more destructive than the masses.<\/span><\/p>\n An ordinary person still maintains some cultural traditions; it is almost impossible to find a \u201cpure proletarian\u201d. But the modern capitalist elites, who have no aristocratism in their senses, are greedy for power, position and comfort. At the same time, more and more marginal types began to penetrate into the \u201cnew elite\u201d, people not from peripheral groups, but from minority groups \u2014 ethnic, cultural, religious (often sectarians) and sexual \u2014 became dominant among them. It is this perverted rabble, according to Christopher Lasch, that forms the basis of the modern globalist elite, which destroys the foundations of civilization.<\/span><\/p>\n Accordingly, populism \u2013 including the populism of the \u201cyellow vests\u201d \u2013 can be viewed as a retaliatory uprising of the people against the elites, who have completely lost their connection with society. The elites have built their own world in which double standards, norms of political correctness, liberal demagogy reign.<\/span><\/p>\n According to these \u201cnew elites\u201d, the people and society, in their current state, have no place in this world. Therefore, the typical representative of the \u201cnew elite\u201d, Hillary Clinton, upset by the success of the right-wing populist Trump, openly insulted ordinary Americans \u2013 as deplorables, which in meaning means \u201cshameful.\u201d \u201cDeplorables\u201d have chosen Trump \u2013 not because they loved him, but to respond to the \u201cglobalist witch\u201d Clinton.<\/span><\/p>\n Macron is a representative of the same type of \u201cnew elite\u201d. It is curious that on the eve of the elections the French newspaper\u00a0\u00a0\u2018Lib\u00e9ration\u2019 published the headline \u2018Faites ce que vous voulez, mais votez Macron \u2018 (\u201cDo what you want, but vote for Macron\u201d). This is an obvious paraphrase of Aleister Crowley, who proclaimed himself in the 20th century as the Antichrist and the Beast 666: \u201cDo what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law\u201d. In other words, obedient crowds should vote for Macron not for some rational reasons, not because of his ideas and virtues, but simply because this is the imperative law of the ruling elite. And the disregard of the elites towards the obedient, slain masses is so open that they do not even bother to seduce them with impracticable promises: \u201cVote for Macron, because this is an order and this is not discussed.\u201d Vote and then you are free. Otherwise you are deplorables. And that\u2019s all.<\/span><\/p>\n In Italy, where half of the population voted for right-wing populists of \u2018Lega\u2019, and the second half \u2013 for left-wing populists from the \u2018Cinque stelli\u2019 (5 Star Movement \u2013 ed., Flores), and together these parties managed to create the first populist government in European history.\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n And now in France. And although in France there is practically no political contact between the right-wing populism of the National Front and the left-wing populism of M\u00e9lenchon, today it is united in the heroic revolt of the \u201cyellow vests\u201d. \u201cYellow vests\u201d are deplorables, both right and left (but not liberal left, nor liberal right). The right-wing populists are terrified by the insane new elite policies regarding immigration and the destruction of the remnants of French identity. Left-wing populists are outraged by the disastrous economic policies of the liberals, who defend only the interest of big business: Macron is a prot\u00e9g\u00e9 of the Rothschilds and that shows on which side he is\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n The \u201cyellow vests\u201d rebelled against Macron as against the ruling liberal elite. But today, it is already no longer a movement of the classical right or left. Macron is left in support of migration, protection of minorities, the legalization of degeneracy and so-called \u201ccultural Marxism,\u201d but right (liberal right) in terms of the economy, firmly defending the interests of big business and European bureaucracy. He is a pure globalist, not disdaining a direct declaration of his belonging to Freemasonry (his famous hand-sign, representing a triangle), even with direct satanic slogans: \u201cDo what you want, vote for Macron.\u201d The revolt of \u2018yellow vests\u2019 is precisely against this combination of liberal right and liberal left.<\/span><\/p>\n If M\u00e9lenchon and Marine Le Pen cannot be united politically, being one \u2013 too left and the other\u00a0\u00a0\u2013 too right, then the \u2018yellow vests\u2019 will do it instead of the political leaders seeking to lead a populist movement<\/strong>. The \u201cyellow vests\u201d are not just against economic policy or immigration \u2014 they are against Macron as a symbol of the whole system, against globalism, against liberal totalitarianism, against the \u201cexisting state of affairs\u201d. The \u201cyellow vest\u201d movement is a populist and popular revolution. And the word \u201cpeople\u201d (populus, \u2018le peuple\u2019) in the concept of \u201cpopulism\u201d must be understood literally.<\/span><\/p>\n These are not abstract masses or an impersonal proletariat<\/strong> \u2014 they are the last living people who have risen up against the world power of globalist progeny,<\/strong> the rebels (as Lasch believes) of culture and civilization, as well as on man as such, on people, on God. Today there is no more right and left: only the people are against the elite. The \u201cyellow vests\u201d are creating a new political history, a new ideology. Macron is not a personal name, it is a label of the Matrix. To achieve freedom, he needs to be annihilated. Thus sprach the \u201cyellow vests\u201d, and they speak the truth\u2026\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n *<\/span><\/p>\n Aleksandr Gelyevich Dugin<\/strong> is a Russian philosopher, political analyst, and geostrategist, and author \u2013 best known internationally for his book \u2018The Fourth Political Theory\u2019.
