Jean-François Thiriart

Jean-François Thiriart (; 22 March 1922 – 23 November 1992), often known as Jean Thiriart, was a Belgian far-right political theorist.

Coming from a left-wing background, during the Second World War he was a collaborator with the Nazi Third Reich, as a result of which he served a prison sentence. In the 1960s, he founded and directed the transnational Jeune Europe (Young Europe) movement. He was the theorist of European national communism, a synthesis of revolutionary nationalism and Pan-European nationalism, a form of revolutionary nationalism transposed up to the scale of Europe as a unitary state.
