Ethnopluralism  Ethnopluralism (or ethno-pluralism), sometimes called ethno-differentialism, is a Nouvelle Droite concept which relies on preserving and mutually respecting separate and bordered ethno-cultural regions. Among the key components are the "right to difference" and a strong support for cultural diversity at a worldwide rather than at a national level. According to its promoters, significant foreign cultural elements in a given region ought to be culturally assimilated to seek cultural homogenization in this territory, in order to let different cultures thrive in their respective geographical areas. Proponents describe ethnopluralism as a "world in which many worlds can fit" and an alternative to multiculturalism and globalization, claiming that it strives to keep the world's different cultures alive by embracing their uniqueness and avoiding a one world doctrine in which every region is culturally identical. Critics view the project as a form of "global apartheid", and scholars have highlighted close ideological similarities with concepts promoted by French neo-fascist activists in the 1950s. The concept is closely associated the European New Right"," the Identitarian movement, and French political theorist Alain de Benoist. According to ethnographer Benjamin R. Teitelbaum, the term "ethnopluralism" was first coined by German sociologist Henning Eichberg in a 1973 essay that was written in opposition to both Western and European eurocentrism. The concept of ethno-pluralism promoted from the 1970s onward by GRECE, an ethno-nationalist think thank led by Nouvelle Droite thinker Alain de Benoist, was foreshadowed by ideas expressed in the 1950s by French neo-fascist activist René Binet. "Biological realism", a concept coined by Binet in 1950, advocated the establishment of individual and racial inequalities founded upon scientific observations. He argued that "interbreeding capitalism" ("capitalisme métisseur") aimed at creating a "uniform barbary" ("barbarie uniforme"), and that only "a true socialism" could "achieve race liberation" through the "absolute segregation at both global and national level." In the 1960s, white nationalist magazine "Europe-Action", in which Alain de Benoist was a journalist, also drew influence from the so-called "Message of Uppsala", a text likely wrote in 1958 by French neo-fascists related to the New European Order led by Binet. It carried out subtle semantic shifts between "differentialism" and "inequality" which are deemed influential on European far-right movements at large.
