@rasmusfleischer This interview is tremendous. I always struggled to understand Tamás's texts, because I didn't know where he was coming from. The interview paints a whole forgotten world.

Brian Holmes (bh@tldr.nettime.org)'s status on Monday, 26-Dec-2022 00:20:45 JST Brian Holmes @rasmusfleischer Yeah, I just lived in France while that word was in widespread use, so I thought you would be interested. I think globalization has produced a wide range of pushbacks. Under these conditions, the concept of sovereignty, and the idea of recovering sovereignty, is gonna keep coming to the surface under different forms. The Reichsburger episode is a symptom of a broader malady. So is Brexit, etc.

Brian Holmes (bh@tldr.nettime.org)'s status on Sunday, 25-Dec-2022 14:15:23 JST Brian Holmes @rasmusfleischer Sovereigntism, or "souverainisme," has been a concept in mainstream French political debate since the 1990s at least. On the left it refers to the attempt to assert democratic control over the national political economy, in the face of transnational forcess of various sorts (big corporations, EU, etc). Although the concept is increasingly used by and identified with nationalist right-wing groups, I reckon we all ignore it at our peril. Sovereigntism can clearly turn into fascism. But it is, at least to some degree, a return of the repressed - where what has been repressed is simply democracy.
