Agustín Laje exclusively with La Derecha Diario: 'The solution is called voting well'

In a context where ideas of freedom are once again gaining ground globally, the name of Agustín Laje resonates as one of the main exponents of the new cultural battle. Interviewed by La Derecha Diario, the author of "Generación Idiota" and "La Batalla Cultural" discussed his latest book, "Globalismo," an essay already turned into an international bestseller, which aims to unmask one of the most ambitious and least discussed projects of recent decades: global governance driven by international organizations and NGOs aligned with the transnational power elite.

"The biggest challenge was addressing a new, little-explored concept that is sometimes confused with globalization, but it's not the same," Laje explains. "Globalism is a phenomenon with normative, not descriptive, aspirations, which was boosted in the context of Trumpism and is now beginning to reach the Spanish-speaking world with force." His book, published in the second half of last year, anticipated that Agenda 2030 would fail to meet its goals, and he was not wrong:  "By September, Agenda 2045 was already being announced. We said it in the book before it happened."

The chapter dedicated to Agenda 2030 was, according to the author himself, the most arduous to write:  "It meant diving into an ocean of documents produced by the UN since 2012. It was a monumental but necessary task." Laje denounces that this agenda was imposed "as an official dogma" both in universities and in the political sphere, without the slightest democratic debate.

At this point, Laje celebrates a palpable change of course in Argentina:  "When you elect a president like Javier Milei, who goes to the UN and says 'I take Argentina out of Agenda 2030 and don't put Argentina into Agenda 2045,' we're talking about real sovereignty." In that line, he warns:  "The danger is not a world government, yet, but embryonic structures of global governance. That's what's retreating now."

The interview also addressed the transformation of the contemporary ideological battle.  "Until recently, the strongest front was sexuality. But the gender paradigm is now in decline. It has become a meme. What it imposed as ideological taming no longer holds. Today the stage is open. Perhaps climate issues or uncontrolled migration will occupy that space." In political terms, the Milei phenomenon in Argentina and the rise of the new right in Europe and the U.S. "broke the cultural hegemony of decades."

Regarding the role of young people, Laje has no doubt: "Today we are all journalists. With a cell phone, you can inform more and better than a traditional media outlet. The immediacy and authenticity of social networks have defeated the stiffness and editorial bureaucracy. That's why many libertarian influencers have more reach than professional journalists. Mariano Pérez may not be a journalist for TN, but he fulfills the journalistic function better than many."

But cultural advancement is not only happening in the digital realm. The Faro Foundation, driven by Laje, is already generating results.  "We seek to organize and professionalize the cultural battle. We offer courses in political, economic, historical, and cultural training. There are ongoing investigations, books in production, and articles in development. It's a new but very promising project."

Finally, when asked about which books he recommends to young people who want to educate themselves, Laje suggests: "Of mine, the most accessible is 'Generación Idiota,' it has 300 pages and is accessible. And of those that marked me, without a doubt 'Sobre el poder' by Bertrand de Jouvenel. It's a tough but brilliant book. Hayek spoke of the road to serfdom; Jouvenel shows how that road began in the very cradle of modernity."

Today, Globalismo is sold not only in Argentina but also in Spain and throughout America, and Laje celebrates the interest sparked in a topic that, until recently, was ignored. "The great challenge was to arouse interest in something people didn't even know about. And it was worth it."
