Sumario:This article addresses archeofuturism, by the French intellectual Guillaume Faye (1949-2019), one of the exponents of the Nouvelle Droite, a current of thought that seeks to update the far-right references in Europe since the 1960s. Archeofuturism is one of the most radical proposals of this current, which makes constant use of the past and a cyclical conception of history to emphasize white identity and the formation of a European Empire (Eurosiberia); the fight against immigration, especially Islamic; and the defense of hierarchical societies, divided between hypertechnological nuclei and archaic nuclei. archaeofuturism is analyzed as a new way of using the perspective of the “struggle between races” and racism in European history and a purposeful response to the context of the independence of former European colonies and the crisis of socialism and of liberal-democratic hegemony towards a revolutionary, conservative and transhumanist agenda for a neo-fascist society.
