Who is Guillaume Faye?

Guillaume Faye is a French journalist and writer.

With a PhD from Science-Po, Guillaume Faye was one of the major theorists of the French New Right in the 1970–80s. A former member of Alain de Benoist’s New Right organisation GRECE, he took part in the splitting of the organization in 1986 alongside Yann-Ber Tillenon, Tristan Mordrelle, and Goulven Pennaod . At that time he was close to nationalist neo-Pagans. Simultaneously, he made his way up as a journalist, namely in Figaro Magazine, Paris-Match, VSD, etc. Guillaume Faye also led a journal called J'ai Tout Compris! which closed down soon after.

In 1987 Guillaume Faye withdrew from politics. In the year 1990 he took part in Skyrock radio station as 'Skyman'. He also appeared in Telematin emission on France 2 TV channel from 1991 to 1993. In 1998 he finally returned to politics after publishing some essays on various subjects such as culture, religion, etc. Several of these essays were collected into his major work, Archeofuturism, which was published in English translation in 2010. This book lays out his fundamental ideas, including his opposition to immigration, his dismissal of contemporary European politics, his call for a pan-European government, and his concept of Archeofuturism, which involves combining traditionalist spirituality and concepts of sovereignty with the latest advances in science and technology.
