Julius Evola general thread

it's his followers who are insufferable cunts
Evola feeds into and justify their smugness
sort of like plebs reading Nietzsche, but Evola is a bit more obscure than him, so the smugness rises

he got some things wrong too, minor thing, but still
he seemed to think that the masculine is prior to the feminine
while Hindu (and perennial philosophy) holds that both are present at the beginning

He was objectively wrong about this. Liberalism won the Cold War, not communism. You could argue communist did win by subverting liberalism, but hardly it's Bolshevik variant.

His whole shtick is that history has been a regressive path from the top of aryan caste society to the bottom. This is similar to some other strains of traditionalist thought. Unlike people such as rene guenon however, he thought warriors were superior to priest and that golden age society was corrupted by a preisthood he referred to as "luner and feminine."

Aren't those the same thing?

Sweeping a street isn't the same as cleaning a latrine

It also has to do with with Evolas contrast between the spiritual and the material, and the gradual transition from rulership based on the spiritual to the material, and the basis of rulership being a gradually receeding echo.

In the beggining we're ruled by Gods, essentially. The ruler is divine/one-the-same with the divine. Nothing seperates them.

Then we are ruled by priests, who hold access to the divine, and are most harmonious with it.

Then, in the "feudal era" we are ruled by warriors, who do not access divine, but have access to death, and bridge the gap between this life and the underworld through constant meditation on/preparation for death.

Then in the age of liberalism, we are ruled by people who are in touch not with the realm of spirit, but the realm of bodily intellect. I.E. The most clever, shrewd, and in command of material facts and philosophy. And this connection these abstract, discursive mental constructs is what legitimates their rule.

Finally, in the Age of Marxism, it's connection to the material superstructure that legitimizes the ruling class. In a final total reversion of the age of Godkings, it's specifically the avoidance of any Idealistic Construct or existence that validates rulership in Marxism, a direct connection to base matter.
