When Carl Schmitt asserted that the most important thing in politics is to define the enemy, he took for granted the existence of a national, historical, geographical, cultural, and ideological identity in the subject making that definition.
But when such a political subject does not exist—when it is unclear, lacking precise features, driven only by emotional impulses and, at best, vague symbolic references—this exercise becomes not only counterproductive but even self-destructive.
One identifies an “absolute” Enemy and assumes that merely labeling him as such is enough to become someone or something oneself. There’s also the illusion that everyone who denounces this enemy—whether through rhetoric or personal frustration—is inherently better than him and somehow aligned with us. Nothing could be further from the truth.
This leads to endless spirals that, as we’ve seen, reduce those who fall into them to cheerleaders for neo-Bolsheviks, “de-Nazifiers,” torturers, freedom suppressors, hangmen, throat-slitters—you name it.
Yet this is only one—albeit serious—consequence of a fundamental conceptual error. Another is the tendency to explain every real or perceived problem by attributing it to the will of some evil mastermind.
As if history, culture, and structural mechanisms didn’t exist. As if, behind everything, there were always a diabolical figure muddying the waters and pulling all the strings—someone like Soros, for example.
Many have borrowed, often after rushed and second-hand readings, a once authoritative system of thought and critique. But that system had the depth to uncover what lies beneath—not as the game of a petty magician, but as a full-spectrum analysis that took into account mindset, culture, religious belief, temperament, and social organization. Sadly, what I call the terminal right—and that’s me being generous—has turned it into a grotesque parody of itself.
Just as it believes it can escape today’s monetary system by printing worthless paper, it imagines it can rid itself of what it dislikes by pointing to a “culprit” whose removal would miraculously change everything. Too bad that—even assuming this person is the enemy—there’s no clarity about what removing him would even accomplish if no alternative subject exists. A minor oversight, surely…
We’ve reached the most absurd kind of reductionism
Recently, a new joke has been making the rounds, shared by people with otherwise little in common: that globalism is Trotskyist. And by some reckless syllogism, this makes the European Union Trotskyist too. So apparently, Trotskyism is the real problem.
That Trotsky was globalist is clear. But to claim globalism itself is Trotskyist is deeply troubling. As if Trotsky invented capitalism. As if the “Holy Alliance” that established the Rothschild financial dynasty didn’t precede him. As if the universalist idea hadn’t already clashed with the imperial one back in the days of the Ghibellines (the former) and the Guelfs (the latter). As if we hadn’t already seen globalism during the age of Lombard bankers and the Templars.
You don’t find solutions by taking shortcuts
All of what I’ve mentioned is bound by a spiritual thread. It unfolds historically—but also metaphysically—from the Old Testament. It is grounded in a hypocritical, contemptuous, and racist elitism of the “anointed,” in the nomadism of the soul, in the inversion of the Golden Age into a future utopia—thus replacing Myth with Utopia (that is, abolishing the formative model)—and in the obsessive, neurotic pursuit of a “promised land.”
So what’s the point of spending time trying to single out, among millions shaped by this dominant subversive logic, one single “guilty” party? Why look for an evil superman? Why continue pointing to individuals within the very structures you seek to criticize—those who carry this culture, or who belong to its ancient priestly caste?
You’ll find them everywhere, always surrounded by others—compliant, unaware, assimilated—but often also instinctively inclined in other directions.
By thinking this way—disjointedly and reductively—you end up being flatly contradicted by reality. You reject the Ukrainian and European war of independence because of a Zelensky, only to find yourself doing mental gymnastics to justify—or even support—a Zemmour.
All of this stems from the confusion in your mind when you cling—tragically—to a worldview you haven’t truly understood. And since the mirror draws you in, we now have a swarm of self-styled “anti-Semites” oscillating between Talmudic concepts and admiration for Zionism. Sometimes even idolizing a state that openly declares its soul belongs to the Chabad sect.
Perhaps they should take lessons from Grok
the unfiltered AI of X, to learn a thing or two.
I’m increasingly convinced that the culture behind today’s mental paralysis and grotesque caricatures has become not just inadequate, but deeply disturbing—incapacitating and castrating.
If this culture—now distorted into a parody by clowns—were not so serious, valuable, and, above all, criminalized and persecuted, one might even feel tempted to distance oneself from it altogether. At least in the spirit of Zarathustra, who prefers to die of thirst than to drink with the rabble—intellectually and spiritually, I should clarify.
This culture must become a tool of interpretation—not, as it is now, an excuse to wink from behind a keyboard or a bathroom stall, peddling, like at a 19th-century fair, some miracle elixir for hair regrowth.
Above all, it’s not about shouting but about acting—not “against,” although one must be aware of opposition, but “for.”
If you are not rooted in Myth—if you lack a vision grounded in form, lineage, and destiny—if you are without an imperial and universal worldview that inherently counters the globalist one—what’s the point of deciding who’s worse among your opponents?
You will always be the worst, if you refuse to be, if you refuse to shape your life and your actions according to eternal principles.
That is desertion. That’s why my motto is: “Your first enemy is you.”
The others may be powerful, but they are no supermen. If they win, it’s because you are inert and hypnotized, because you are anxious, because you keep looking for an enemy, because you are not smiling, not serene, not active, not joyful. And that is not the fault of Trotsky, or Soros, or anyone else. It’s entirely your own.
Stop making excuses—there are none for not rising to your feet and climbing back up the slope
Only cowardice, laziness, apathy, skepticism—the spirit of gravity that weighs you down and buries you.
And no one injected it into you. Always hold yourself accountable—because you are your own Trotsky, your own Soros, your own Stalin, Roosevelt, Netanyahu, Putin, your own Ayatollah.
Because none of the thinkers and builders of the tradition you now wave around so carelessly ever refused to act. None indulged in the smug, victimist complacency in which you now wallow, imagining you’ve understood everything—while you wait for a messiah who will come… and who, invariably, you imagine to be exotic.
The Circle Closes Inexorably
This is what always happens when borrowed ideologies are clung to like driftwood—devoid of any genuine roots.
When, in the name of sovereignty, one falls into the trap of sovereigntism, it is sovereignty itself that is sabotaged—on behalf of imperial powers anxious about its potential reawakening on a European scale.
When, under the banner of anti-Americanism, one forgets that the real battle is one of the soul—and instead reduces it to a shallow dispute—one not only strengthens the American position (see NATO’s renewed cohesion), but ends up thinking like a Yankee.
Likewise, a muddled and illiterate antisemitism ends up perpetuating a Talmudic logic that reinforces the very Old Testament worldview it claims to oppose—instead of offering an alternative vision.
Time and again, we allow ourselves to be reversed—employing concepts that ultimately turn against us, strengthening the very forces we claim to resist.
When this happens, one becomes both Zarathustra’s Ape and a prisoner of the spirit of gravity. After all, wasn’t Evola’s teaching on the Kali Yuga often misused as an excuse for inaction—an excuse that he himself never entertained? This is how the Subhuman is announced.
The first enemy is you.
If you are not sovereign over yourself, you will never overcome anyone else.
