The ideological struggle, by Malek Bennabi

The ideological struggle, by Malek Bennabi

“Ideas can only be neutralized by ideas” Balzac

If we "do not fire gunshots at ideas" (Rivarol), we nevertheless have extremely refined and subtle tools to control and neutralize them with appropriate mechanisms and the ability to execute them according to the designs and interests of the strategists and planners.

In the heat of the ideological struggle in the Muslim countries, the study of ideas is the culmination of the attention of specialists.

An invisible, intelligent, powerful, tenacious and implacable struggle is what Malek Bennabi called the ideological struggle.

It is this struggle with its mechanisms and techniques that the author of this book tries to reveal to us. It should be noted that colonialism in the sense that Bennabi understands it is not in its classic definition but its conception is much broader and deeper than can be summed up by this sentence: "war is the war of men; peace is the war of ideas” and that it is perhaps easier to resist the invasion of armies than that of ideas.
