“We are against certain exasperations of nationalism, which we believe have shattered in their historical implications the unitary substratum of Western civilization. We are anti-bourgeois: the bourgeoisie, understood as a state of mind and an economic perspective of the world, is primarily responsible for this dissolving climate [...] We are for a lifestyle that no party can give us; but only an Order of ideas, a differentiated unity of demands, camaraderie in the fight against a broken system. We are for an aristocracy which is a radical rejection of the egalitarian model. We assume a hierarchical and organic perspective [...] We are for the civilizations of Europe and of the West, with their Myths and their Traditions, beyond the selfishness and sterile provincialisms in which today's nationalistic mentality is closed.”
