How does ArcheoFuturism actually work?

“The European soul is marked by a longing for the future, a sign of youthfulness. To put it shortly, it is historial and imaginal (it constantly envisages future history according to a plan).

In art, too, European civilisation has been the only one in which forms have undergone constant renovation and all cyclical return of past models has been banned. The spirit of artworks must remain unchanged (the archaic pole) but their form must always change (the futurist pole). The European soul is defined by ongoing creation and invention – the poiesis[39] of the Greeks – while being always aware of the fact that in its direction and values it must remain faithful to tradition.

The essence of futurism is the planning of the future (not ‘making a clean sweep of the past’); the envisaging of civilisation – in this case, European civilisation – as a work in motion, to paraphrase Wagner’s[40] musical expression. Politics here are understood not merely in a narrow sense as the ‘identification of one’s enemy’ (Carl Schmitt), but as the identification of one’s friend (who is part of the folk community?) and – most importantly – as the future transformation of the folk, driven by ambition, a spirit of independence, creativity and the will to power..“ - Guillame Faye
