A QUAND LA DÉCADENCE FINALE ? DE SALLUSTE ET JUVÉNAL À NOS JOURS, Terre et Peuple (Publié le 26 mars 2019)

Les Anciens, c’est à dire nos ancêtres gréco-germano-gallo-slavo-illyro-romains, étaient fort conscients des causes héréditaires de la décadence quoiqu’ils attribuassent à cette notion des noms fort variés. La notion de décadence, ainsi que sa réalité existent depuis toujours alors que sa dénomination actuelle ne s’implante solidement dans la langue française qu’au XVIIIème siècle, dans les écrits de Montesquieu.1 Plus tard, vers la fin du XIXème siècle, les poètes dits « décadents », en France, étaient même bien vus et bien lus dans les milieux littéraires traditionalistes, ceux que l’on désigne aujourd’hui, de façon commode, comme les milieux « d’extrême droite ». Par la suite, ces poètes et écrivains décadents du XIXème siècle nous ont beaucoup marqué, malgré leur mœurs souvent débridées, métissées, alcoolisées et narcotisées, c’est-à-dire malgré leur train de vie décadent.2

The Ancients, that is, our Greco-German-Gallo-Slavo-Illyro-Roman ancestors, were well aware of hereditary causes of decadence, although they attributed to this notion different names. The idea of decadence, let alone its reality, has always been present, although its current denomination came first into the French language by the eighteenth century in the writings of Montesquieu.1 Later on, toward the end of the nineteenth century, the so-called “decadent” poets in France were a favorite and highly praised genre in traditionalist literary circles, labelled today in a somewhat derogatory way as “far-right circles.” Subsequently, these so-called decadent poets and writers started to exert a considerable influence on many right-wing rebels despite their own often unbridled, transracial, alcoholic and narcotized manners, or simply put, despite their decadent lifestyles.2

Interpretations of any text, on any social subject and at any time, including the interpretation of the verses by the Roman poet Juvenal, are also the mirror image of the dominant political ideas — the dominant zeitgeist. But who will control the interpreter if many Western dissident thinkers today are forced to follow the pedagogical ukases set up by politicians after the end of World War II? In this respect one could cite Juvenal and his famous verse in the Sixth satire: “Quis custodet ipsos custodes.” Who will guard the guardians?, or better yet who will control the architects of today’s newspeak which is raging in the Western universities and in the mass media?
