Alain de Benoist (born 11 December 1943), also known as Fabrice Laroche, Robert de Herte, and David Barney,[1] is a French political thinker and journalist. He helped start the Nouvelle Droite (France's New Right) and leads the ethnic national group GRECE.
De Benoist, influenced by German Conservative Revolution thinkers,[2] rejects Christianity, the Declaration of the Rights of Man, neoliberalism, representative democracy, and equality. He believes these ideas are represented by the United States.[3] He developed the idea of ethnopluralism, which focuses on protecting and respecting different ethnic and cultural areas.[4][5]
His work has played a role in the alt-right movement in the U.S., and he gave a talk on identity at a National Policy Institute event organized by Richard B. Spencer; however, he has moved away from the movement.[6][7]
