Born on April 16 1935, the son of an ardent supporter of the fascist, anti-Semitic Parti Populaire Français, Venner became a member of the neo-fascist Jeune Nation and Jeune Europe groups during the 1950s, taking part in an attack on the headquarters of the French Communist Party in November 1956.
He had returned from two years’ service in the bloody Algerian war only the previous month, and in 1961 he joined the Organisation de l’Armée Secrète (OAS), a paramilitary group which launched a campaign of assassinations and bombings to prevent Algeria breaking free from French colonial rule. The campaign culminated in an assassination attempt on the French president General de Gaulle. As a result of his membership Venner spent 18 months in La Santé prison. By the time he was released in 1962, the war in Algeria was over.
On his release from prison, Venner wrote Pour une critique positive (“Towards a positive critique”), a sort of fascist equivalent of Lenin’s What is to be done? (written in response to the abortive Russian Revolution of 1905). He called for a “European” nationalism based on Leninist principles, with the creation of a single revolutionary and nationalist organisation which would be “monolithic and hierarchical” and composed of young “disciplined and devoted” militants.
In 1963, with Alain de Benoist, he founded a movement and magazine called Europe-Action, which he later led. Europe-Action presented itself as a think-tank to bring a new ideological vigour to Right-wing nationalist thinking. In the 1960s it was strong in Paris and in towns and cities in the south of France where many Pieds Noirs had settled, serving as an intellectual forum for a rag-bag of interests, including former members of Jeune Nation and the OAS, self-proclaimed fascists, residual Vichyites and anti-Semites.
Describing themselves as militants of the “white nation”, the members of Europe-Action stressed the shared identity of “white peoples” and elaborated a pseudo-scientific racism which they used to vilify black and Arab immigrant workers in France and justify support for white minority regimes in Rhodesia and South Africa. Among other things, Venner founded the Comité France-Rhodesie to give support to the regime of Ian Smith. He also went on to found the publishing house Éditions Saint-Just, which operated in tandem with Europe-Action, and became involved in several other Right-wing groups including the ethno-nationalist Research and Study Group for European Civilisation, or GRECE.
