The aim of this work is to delve into the two main theoretical sources behind the radical right's «obsession» with the «cultural battle»: the Nouvelle Droite and the American Alt-Right. Thus, this article will examine their metapolitical proposal focusing on their conceptualization of hegemony, departing from Antonio Gramsci's original idea and aligning more closely with the populist approaches of Ernesto Laclau. The focus will be on overcoming a decadent modernity and reviving Western civilization through an ethnodifferentialist proposal. The article is divided into two parts. In the first part, we will analyze the metapolitical proposal of the Nouvelle Droite, which introduces the concept coined by Alain de Benoist. After examining its core ideas, we will proceed to break down its ideological-cultural strategy contrasted with the ideas of Gramsci and Laclau. In the second part, we will analyze the Alt-Right, whose strategy directly draws from the metapolitical approaches of the Nouvelle Droite, albeit with a tactic focused on the Internet and social networks.
