ABSTRACT

The Cercle Proudhon is constituted by the convergence of Far right Nationalists and of revolutionary Trade unionists. It is a result of anti-rationalism formed at the end of 19th century and in the beginning of 20th century. Far-right Nationalists and revolutionary Trade unionists getting together to the Cercle Proudhon refer to Nietzsche to reconstruct a revolutionary theory, not any more to Marx. Their political experiment persists only two years and the rise, but in 20 years, it will be considered as the Origin of Fascist Ideology in France. In this context, the text of Pierre Andreu, “The Fascism 1913”, shows the nature of the invented Tradition on the Fascist origin, having its base in the discourse of memory. But this tradition invented by the non conformism in the 1930’s is not purely fabricated, comparing similarities between the elements of the Fascism and those of the Cercle Proudhon.
