Radical Network

Formed in June 2002, a number of its early members came from those who split from Unité Radicale that April, notably Christian Bouchet, Luc Bignot and Giorgio Damiani.

[1] Adhering to solidarism, the group avowedly rejected Left-Right politics and claimed to be inspired not only by rightists like Aleksandr Dugin, François Duprat, Julius Evola and Jean-François Thiriart but also by socialists such as Louis Auguste Blanqui.

[2] With their activities co-ordinated by a Conseil solidariste radical, it adopted a position of Anti-Americanism, Anti-capitalism and Anti-Zionism, whilst leaning towards the ideas of Neo-Eurasianism.

In keeping with such ideas, it supported Saddam Hussein, Serbia and Montenegro, Carlos the Jackal and Hugo Chávez, amongst others.

It was close to the magazine Résistance, a National Bolshevik publication produced by sometime member Bouchet.
