Radical Network (French:Réseau radical was a Frenchfar-right study group from 2002 to 2006. Formed in June 2002, a number of its early members came from those who split fromUnité Radicale that April, notablyChristian Bouchet,Luc Bignot andGiorgio Damiani.[1]
Adhering tosolidarism, the group avowedly rejectedLeft-Right politics and claimed to be inspired not only byrightists likeAleksandr Dugin,François Duprat,Julius Evola andJean-François Thiriart but also bysocialists such asLouis Auguste Blanqui. It used thetrident as its emblem and also organised a youth movement,Jeune dissidence. In keeping with their status as a study group it numbered around 40 hardcore activists.[2]
With their activities co-ordinated by aConseil solidariste radical, it adopted a position ofAnti-Americanism,Anti-capitalism andAnti-Zionism, whilst leaning towards the ideas ofNeo-Eurasianism. In keeping with such ideas, it supportedSaddam Hussein,Serbia and Montenegro,Carlos the Jackal andHugo Chávez, amongst others. It was close to the magazineRésistance, aNational Bolshevik publication produced by sometime member Bouchet.
The group was dissolved by its creators in early 2006, with some regrouping asLes nôtres.
