We agree here. But then, what do we need to defend or save in modern France (this not being a rhetorical question) ?
I would also add that now, it is France that is lost, but in some years, it will be the whole Europe that will know the same situation.

It has nothing to do with primitivism. That's what I meant by
French spirit : to always to see the concept of identity as something negative. We can see it nowadays with the strong criticism of "communautarism" by all the French intellectuals and statesmen. But this concept is, I think, a basis of survive for us in a multicultural society.
I also would like to see a powerful Europe, economically, military and geopolitically speaking. But only if this Europe would be respectfull with our nationalities and cultures. I'm distrustfull because some have often see the unity of Europe as a first step to globalism.
I am for a form of unity between Europeans, and not a contempt of any sort between our nations. Of course, there is the exemple of Yugoslavia, but what about the WW1 and WW2 ? It is the proof that either we were in small or big structures, Europeans have always known war between them.
But now, we are here, in the XXIthe century. What can we do when the society is hostile to our ideas ? Then, my reflexion on identity is mostly focused on the subject of our survival in a multicultural society. The "Europe Puissance" can wait some time then, because it will be impossible in the modern and liberal E.U to see it. That's why the NR, as exemple, who always focus on the subject of a geopolical
Eurasia, are irrelevant here.

Indeed. The Identitarians have some good ideas, but it seems they only focus on concepts and ideas, or cultural actions, while it would be better if they made something more political.
