Soral

What Dominique Pagani says

Dominique Pagani mentions Alain Soral almost always in connection with Michel Clouscard and the reception of his work. He recalls that Soral was in contact with Clouscard when he was on the far left, and that Clouscard, tired, sent him to Pagani1. He also cites him as co-author of an article in 20 ans, at the time when he was in the PC, before his later drift2. When an audience member suggests that Clouscard influenced him, he places Soral in a very distant field. He ranks him at the far-right pole of a consensus opposed to Clouscard's thesis on consumption3. On this point he charges him with the same misreading as Onfray4, and he notes that reactionaries publicise Clouscard by using him against his meaning. He gives him as an example of the blurring of the boundaries between red and brown, a confusion Soral exploited and which attracts disoriented young people5. In 2023, a video-maker describes him as close to Clouscard and Pagani before he became a fascist.
