Carlo Terracciano - Geopolitics and Traditionalism - Article

One of the great geopoliticians from the last decades, from the school of traditionalism and Evolianism will be for sure reconized for the ideological position, for the principles of the Rome and the regret to the moral facts of the Roman effects and the modern world views.

The born man called Carlo Terracciano made teh actions of our own time in the face of the Roman cradle to our traditions, in theoretics and praxis that founded in some indivisible. The pradigmatic form of action of the geopilitics tradition in European continent, tracking the ideological genesis of this school.

Regreting to the cradle of geopolitics, the eschatology of a dual order, that since the imperialist H. Mackinder when articulated the first main rule of the geopolitics, the sea civilization (thalassocracy) in conflict with the landing civilization (tellurocracy) - kind of seen in the hegenomic dispute between Athena and Sparta. Mackinder firstly gave the idea of the transference of the strategic and hegemony from Great Britain to USA, after the sea combats in WWII.

After him, Maham traced a line in the Atlantis theoretics, comming from the American Realpolitiks, forged with the liberalism, traditionalism and globalism - Kind seem in the PNAC and Global-Americanists.

Spykman gave teh great idea on the influence of the borders of the nations. The idea first steped to Makinder about the Heartland and the Spykman's idea of close the borders by a Rimland.

Maham theoretics prposed a separation on the globalism from the socialism and the world's government, like Brzezinski and Kissinger ideologies, and the Neocons, with the American Social Globalism by others.

The Thalassocratic strategy became important to promose that the sea strategic nations can defeat completely the land strategic nations, or vice versa. There is a new problem, that Van Creveld traced brillantly, that the classic geopoliticians couldn't see was the air forces and air power influences in nowadays, and also, the cyber warfare, that interfere directly in the physical battlefield.

The land continental answer comes from the Karl Haushofer, that developed the Tellurocracit power (against the Anglo-Saxon geopolitic). Haushofer's idea was to promote the continental base to realize the need to promote the aliance with Sovietic Union and strenghten the laces to Japan, defeating the sea strategic countries (the aliance between USA, England and France).

Another idea is to promote the continentalism, the nations that can raise a continental influence, promoting peaceful conditions to keep a world in an order.

The Tellurocratic geopolitics kept alive but not oficially in Europe. The opus of the tellurocracy can be found at Austrian General Jordis von Loausen's books, and the Belgian founder of "Young Europe" Pan-Europa, Jean Thiriart. Also the philosopher Alain de Benoist.

Some American Geopoliticians suggested to divide the Geopolitics to Geopolitik, to separete the schools not to be confund the schools, to not be familiar to the German geopolitics.

The view of the tellurocracy is the view of the world from the land and the continental warfare between the players, and than the politician got divided between the occident that predominated the idea of globalism by the sea strategic and military view, and against the Anglo-Saxon dmination cultural and North American globalisation (mundialization). By the other side, the traditionalism, turned back to the landing strategic and military influence.

Tellurocratic defender of the continentalism, Terracciano showed a revisionsim of the recent history and applied the basic principles of the Haushofer geopolitics to analise the today's world. When he refers to Tellurocracy, he refers to Europe and Eurocentrism, in the conditions to determine the strategy as a spirutal revolt, a restore of the hero's society, kind of a virility and affirmative of the barbarianism in order to the new corrupt order. He constitutes a new Europe, built in the ruins of the modernity and with old pre-Illuminist values. The proposal of the geopolitics is not the domination of the seas, but the war between the continents for hegemony.

In a trace to the new level of warfare, Terracciano was right, as Haushofer was firstly. See the Syrian warfare, the game is not about the domination of the borders, but to promote geopolitical influence and political/military presence in land. The constantly of attacks in provinces, landing presence and mercenaries acting in whole country. The last actions of war on terror, that took off Saddam Hussein from power in Iraq, was another point, to promote military and political influence in the whole continent, making a clash of continents and cultural influence in a new influence zone.

This point of the restore of a old Europa in the new paradigm maintain a relation to the traditionalist geopolitic Eurasian, restored in the end of the 80's by the National Bolchevism, with Limonov and other thinkers, like Dugin as most important thinker. This post-soviet school reflexes over the Mackinder view, as an answer to the Thalassocratic strategy. This logic is to build an Eurasian geopolitic similar to the genesis of the German Geopolitik, from Haushofer. This new-modern-Eurasianism promoted a clash between the Tellurocracy and Thalassocracy, that promotes a war on traditionalism and autonomy over the global government, by the leadership of USA.

The Eurasian Geopolitics from Russia found itself in the European continentalism after the fall of Berlim Wall, during the visit to Moscow, Terracciano and Thiriart, where Thiriart determined the conception of "Euro-Soviet Empire from Vladivostok to Dublin" and Terracciano described the program of the Thalassocracy, when the continentalism European and Russian became more involved in the same geopolitical current. Similar to Haushofer to the Axis or Bloc "Berlin-Moscow-Tokyo". The other geopolitical thinkes Alain de Benoist and Claudio Mutti went to the same direction of the strategy and in France the same perspective was sustained by Jean Parvulesco.

The Anti-Stablishment was raised to promote a new leadership, under the influence of Russia, the most influent military superpower in Europe and Asia.

The conclusion is that Islamic countries should have been considered as alied agains the American hegemony and the putocratic globalization. The important factor that made Islam raised as a critical current of the neo-Continentalism. This is an Axiom of the geopolitic and the practical position of the new-Eurasianism, promoting crucial influence of the Islamic-Russian straight and militari/strategic relations.

The perspectives of the geopolitics have been changed by politics and ideoligies, some appeal to evaluate the meaning of the crucial land strategy demanded the revision of the politicians of ufanism in Classic Europe, usually refered to the "Third Position" (anti-liberalism and anti-communism) (That Fabians promoted as a liberal ideology called Third Way, the social democracy), in the Evolian spirit, Heidegger, Codreanu and Yockey. If accepted the perspective of the landing powers, demmanding the Third Position a new fusion of this Eurocentrism and the Eurasianism.

The theoretic of "New Right", Alain the Benoist have a revolutionary in the philosophy, becoming in a new level of the right wing politics, of anti-communism. Terrcciano, accepted the ideological right of national-Bolchevism and raised in the 'national-communist' ideology in Italy, when the Anti-Sovietics and Anti-Communism became obsolete as an instrument of the Thalassacracy, with the new strategic projection of the west in Serbia, Iraq and Africa, after the fall of the URSS and the Fukuyama obsolete theory of the end of the history.

This transaction to the leftism of Terracciano conclued the geopolitical analisys that decided with the "Young Europe" and becoming the pioneer at the tendencies of National-Communism and the Eurasian modern politics in Italy.

The value of the social justice, hierarchy based in the material principle and stratification of classes, in capitalism, became a negative point to be fought, as the fight against the liberalism and the global oligarchy in the name of the freedom, justice, democracy and social order based in solidarity and mutual help is the principle of the national-revolutionaries, based on tradition, historic values to bring the idea of collectivism. 

Different from Evola in many aspects, Terracciano bring the traditionalism as a tradition to be insert in the society. He followed the way of Evola, considered the guru of the spiritual traditions in the Ocident, from the dephts of the ancient times civilizations, neoplatonism Greco-Romano and pre-Christian values. Except for Evole being an Anti-Communist fist in the face of the ideal, Terracciano was a supporter of indo-European values and traced a kind of ideologial war against the modern world.

To him, the tradition is linked to the Land and the modernity is linked to the Sea. The capability on spread ideals and the way to defend the values. Not as a tecnical instrument for the analisys as a strategic planning but, an ideology, that became the eschatology of the end battle between the global modernity and the tradition.

This is the way the anti-communist satanists, ultra nationalists act on create a link between the ultra-nationalism and leftism, to fight the modernity that capital-democracy spawned in the world, with the break of values, creating new dumb societies with no values, easy to be manipulated.
