Serviam: The Political Ideology of Adrien Arcand

by Adrien Arcand

"Keep your spirits clear and lucid, tear off the masks of your tormentors, and fanatically serve the truth. Our struggle began long ago, and what we have sown will not be uprooted, since the children of our children will reclaim the torch for the great glory of Christ. Remain strong and united. Do not fear death or your adversaries. Human works are temporary."Adrien ArcandOriginally compiled and published by Reconquista Press in 2017, The Political Ideology of Adrien Arcand presents an anthology of the beliefs of this great journalist, thinker, and leader so dubbed The Canadian Fuhrer. Arcand (1899-1967) led the Canadian fascist movement as a fervent Catholic and Quebecois. The selected speeches and writings within Serviam are not constrained merely to the French Canada of the 1930s through the 1960s, although his response to the competing contemporary ideas is present, but his responses are universal. Arcand concisely and clearly offers critiques of communism, liberalism, materialism, etc. out of love for his people and God. Both a fascist and Catholic, Arcand pulls no punches in critiquing the state of Canadian government and Church leadership. Adrien Arcand demonstrates in his writings that he is first and foremost a servant of God, which informs his entire political philosophy. The title Serviam (meaning "I will serve") refers to the cry of St. Michael made in response to the rebellious call of Satan, "non serviam" or "I will not serve."Complete with a preface, essay, and biography by three modern authors, Antelope Hill Publishing is proud to present The Political Ideology of Adrien Arcand for the first time in English, translated from French by D'Entremont.

Mainly a lot of criticism of Freemason's and Jews. Nothing new or essential.

This book has to be one of my favorite reads put our by Antelope Hill Publishing. Arcands Ideas probably comes the closest to my own personal developed beliefs over the course of my life. The man writes clear, passionately and to the point. He rounds the circle of Catholicism and Third Positionism so well. I could not of asked for a better explanation as to how one justifies being both a Christian and a Fascist simultaneously. Not to mention his excellent critiques of the Church leadership itself and his unique understanding of the national identity of Canada.

My only issue was the first Essay after the main book, breaking down some of his ideology in a more philosophic way was just a little to big brained for me hahaha. Every aspect of the book overall is worth a purchase and a read. You will not be disappointed.

I read this book in 2025 in the immediate aftermath of two events - the reelection of the Canadian Liberal Party to continued misrule and the long-awaited death of Pope Francis. Seeing both Canada and the Catholic Church dominated by globalists would have disgusted but not surprised Adrien Arcand, the Québécois fascist. His political philosophy combines ultraconservatism with Catholic traditionalism. Arcand's position is that Western civilization has been regressing, not progressing, since the Middle Ages.

It can be depressing reading or hearing the words of certain great men–Adrien Arcand or Jean-Marie Le Pen, Oswald Mosley or David Duke–because it is clear just how much their nations lost by not having them as leaders. The photograph of Arcand included as the frontispiece to Serviam shows the intensity that burns through his every statement. Even the theological segments are interesting, though they don't resonate with me personally. The definite low point of this volume is not Arcand's own work but a pretentious essay full of abstract metaphysical gobbledygook purporting to analyze his ideology.
