Entrepreneur and former Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, in a speech in Italy over the weekend, urged his conservative brethren to offer a multi-layered message of sovereignty to win the “war” for the “soul of the West.” He called on them to present their vision.
Speaking at the Identity and Democracy party’s “Winds of Change” event in Rome on Saturday, Ramaswamy outlined his vision for the Western conservative movement. He argued that the foundations of Western values such as family, faith, patriotism and hard work have been “disappeared” from society, and that left-wing and globalist ideologies are filling the void.
Introducing the famous words of European scientist Blaise Pascal. “If there’s a hole in your heart as big as God, but God won’t fill it, something else will fill it for you.” If you don’t pledge allegiance to your flag, Instead, they pledge allegiance to another flag: the transgender flag, the flag of another country, the flag of the Union of Nations.
Pledging allegiance to something greater than ourselves is a human necessity, yet when we lose faith, family, patriotism, and hard work, wokeism, transgenderism, climateism, Covidism, and globalism fill the void. fill in. We are hungry for purpose and meaning and that is what is happening in our generation.
Ramaswamy also said that while he believes the majority of Americans and Italians are on his side, the left is “still winning” this battle, and that instead of simply running away from radical left-wing policies, conservatives are , said there is a need to present a vision that people can move towards.

“But if we want to win this war, if this war is for the future soul of the West, we must present our own vision.” Ramaswamy said before elaborating on the platform of “sovereignty” over the individual. , family level, and national level.
This begins by recognizing and respecting the sanctity of individual agency as a countermeasure to the leftist’s suggestion of “riding the tectonic shift in collective identity.”
“I am an agent sent here to achieve, by my own efforts, my own dedication, my own dedication, the fullest of my God-given potential. It is individual sovereignty,” Ramaswamy said.
He considers the family to be “the greatest form of government known to mankind” and the basis of the greatest nations and nations in history.
“The nuclear family is not something we apologize for, but something we fight to protect to protect our great country,” Ramaswamy said.
Finally, he elaborated on the third pillar of his vision: sovereignty at the national level.
National Sovereignty: I’m a citizen of a country and I’m proud of that, but I’m not some vague global citizen fighting climate change from the top of Davos. That I am a citizen of this country, in my case the United States of America and in your case Italy, and I am proud to be an Italian citizen. Nation-states give us a sense of purpose and meaning. A country without borders is not a country. Nationalism doesn’t have to be a bad word, it’s just that we can embrace positive values about who we are and what we actually stand for.
The former Republican presidential candidate, whom former President Donald Trump called a “dynamo,” believes a platform that prioritizes “individual, family, nation and God” will forever trump race, gender, sexuality and climate.
Ramaswamy doubled down on his call for nationalism in a statement to Breitbart News on Monday.
“Promoting a nation’s interests is not in tension with making the world a better place, but how we actually do it. The word ‘nationalism’ has historically had negative connotations. “It has a connotation, but it doesn’t have to be that way,” he said.

I met @matteosalvinimi in @euusforum. He is on trial for trying to stop mass immigration in Italy. They are taking legal action against him for trying to protect the country. He could face up to 15 years in prison for stopping the migrant boat. Beyond madness. pic.twitter.com/pGmv71xFQu
