“Since the Great Replacement is by far the most important phenomenon of contemporary Western societies, and also the most obvious, it is precisely that which one must under no circumstances name. Those who venture to do so must be silenced by any means necessary.”
Renaud Camus is perhaps the most controversial living French writer. To read most media coverage about this gay socialist is to be told that he is a far-right racist. He has been given these labels because he is the progenitor of Le Grand Remplacement, the claim that native populations of Western nations are being replaced. What labels one ought to use when discussing this figure we leave to our readers to decide, but we believe it is better to present Camus’ thought in his own words than to rely entirely on hearsay. In this conversation, Camus elucidates his most (in)famous idea and argues that it is not a conspiracy theory, but a simple fact of post-modernity.
