You introduce yourself to everyone as Dr. Ricardo Duchesne. You lead with the title, you sign with the title, you argue from the title. So what has the title actually bought you? You’re supposed to be an intellectual, yet you can’t step outside your own field and take political theory seriously. A doctorate and fourteen years in this fight, and you’ve never once put forward a theory of power. Instead, you treat the attacks on you as proof of your standing. A hundred academics signed against you, so you must be the man who matters. But persecution is not a qualification. It’s a receipt. It proves the system noticed you, dealt with you, and moved on. Not one policy changed. The numbers rose under every government you fought. Your martyrdom isn’t evidence that your method works. It’s the clearest evidence that it doesn’t. Here is what you cannot see. Every political order is run by an organized minority. Mosca said it, Pareto said it, Michels said it. The rulebook you insist we stay inside was written by that minority to steer dissent into activities that feel like resistance and change nothing: the petitions, the open letters, the polite debates on terms they set. You call that realism. It’s a pressure valve, and you’ve been standing on it for fourteen years. Effort that produces no results is not a strategy. It’s a ritual. At some point a serious man steps back and asks why nothing is landing. You never have. You built a niche following and took it as confirmation. It isn’t. A small audience means you found a corner of the stage nobody else wanted. It doesn’t mean your ideas are right. You called me a coward for not using my name. Signing everything with your real name isn’t bravery. It gives the other side a list of who to go after, so you’re doing their work for them. And age is not automatically wisdom. Fourteen years in, you have every reason not to look at the record honestly, because the record says the method failed. Now you’re attacking the people who are actually seeing results. That makes me wonder how serious you ever were about this working. Or was it a grift all along? Sell the books, guard the gate, and keep the movement arranged around yourself so the benefits keep flowing to you.
