I find Evola an intriguing character but honestly don't get his views on economics. He seemed to hate both capitalism and Marxism and viewed them as materially-oriented and therefore unimportant.

Like guilds, state-enforced monopolies, subsidies for state-favored businesses etc.? I don't understand why he would care one way or the other if The Herd freely exchanged goods and services with each other. What is his principal argument against such a system, that it would allow the mass man who was successful in business to rise above his proper station in life? Surely he understood that he himself was a capitalist if he made a living writing books, right? It seems to me that he, like Thomas Carlyle, was a mystic who thought economic questions to be unimportant and instead focused primarily on spiritual matters. Is that a fair assessment?

Revolt Against The Modern World is probably the best place to start. Then you can move onto Ride the Tiger and Men Among the Ruins. Fascism Viewed From the Right if you want a very unique take on Fascism. Notes on the Third Reich if you want a traditionalist critique of National Socialism.

Thats not what capitalism is

When people argue against capitalism they dont argue against people trading things they made themselves, but societies that are centered around economic productivity at the expense of everything else (culture, race, spirituality, ect)

"What must be questioned is not the value of this or that economic system, but the value of the economy itself. Thus, despite the fact that the antithesis between capitalism and Marxism dominates the background of recent times, it must be regarded as a pseudo-antithesis. In free-market economies, as well as in Marxist societies, the myth of production and its corollaries (e.g., standardization, monopolies, cartels, technocracy) are subject to the "hegemony" of the economy, becoming the primary factor on which the material conditions of existence are based. Both systems regard as "backward" or as "underdeveloped" those civilizations that do not amount to "civilizations based on labor and production"—namely, those civilizations that, luckily for themselves, have not yet been caught up in the feverish industrial exploitation of every natural resource, the social and productive enslavement of all human possibilities, and the exaltation of technical and industrial standards; in other words, those civilizations that still enjoy a certain space and a relative freedom.

Thanks for the explanation. He seems like a bit of a Luddite. Would he really have, for example, preferred for the millions of Chinese and Indians who have been lifted up by capitalism and technological advances to continue living in abject poverty, intellectual ignorance, and unsanitary conditions simply to spare India and China the "feverish industrial exploitation of every natural resource?" Was he familiar with the concept of "trade-offs?"
>>
>>138992612
He would have preferred China and Indians to have lived as they did thousands of years ago( which by the way was in better conditions than even today)

"abject poverty, intellectual ignorance, and unsanitary conditions" are a result of degeneration, and modern capitalism only corrects the first and exacerbates the latter two

PS modern technology can somwhwat coexist with tradition like in pre-1945 Japan

PSS The majority of Indians were better off 5000 year ago, they even had plumbing back then but not now

PSSS Im pretty sure the focus on the economy in China lead to the death of more than 50 million chinese

"The quality of municipal town planning suggests the knowledge of urban planning and efficient municipal governments which placed a high priority on hygiene, or, alternatively, accessibility to the means of religious ritual.

As seen in Harappa, Mohenjo-Daro and the recently partially excavated Rakhigarhi, this urban plan included the world's first known urban sanitation systems: see hydraulic engineering of the Indus Valley Civilisation. Within the city, individual homes or groups of homes obtained water from wells. From a room that appears to have been set aside for bathing, waste water was directed to covered drains, which lined the major streets. Houses opened only to inner courtyards and smaller lanes. The house-building in some villages in the region still resembles in some respects the house-building of the Harappans.[85]


The ancient Indus systems of sewerage and drainage that were developed and used in cities throughout the Indus region were far more advanced than any found in contemporary urban sites in the Middle East and even more efficient than those in many areas of Pakistan and India today."

I get it, but I have a hard time understanding how having a BASIC level of material comfort so you aren't dying of preventable/treatable things like diarrhea and malaria is objectionable to anyone who has empathy for his fellow man. A true aristocrat practices noblesse oblige and cares about the well-being of the masses even while recognizing his superiority to them, and it seems that Evola was a bit callous in that respect.

Giulio Cesare Andrea Evola was born in Rome to a minor aristocratic family of Sicilian origins. He was a baron. Little is known about his early upbringing except that he considered it irrelevant. Evola studied engineering in Rome, but did not complete his studies because he "did not want to be associated in any way with bourgeois academic recognition and titles such as doctor and engineer."

The computer you are using at this very moment was created by an Evil Capitalist trying to earn a profit. You opened your wallet and gave him money. He, in turn, gave you the computer you are sitting in front of. You voluntarily exchanged your money for his computer. All I am saying is that this is not a bad thing. I agree that capitalism can sometimes be DISTASTEFUL, as it has given us such cultural wonders as Bud Light, the Kardashian show, and the Macarena. Capitalism often caters to mass tastes, and Evola and other elites recognizes that the masses are doltish automatons who only want bread and circuses. I understand why people are turned off by that, but what is the alternative? Socialism? Corporatism/mercantilism? Barter economy? Feudalism? Would you really want to live under any of those systems?

Yes you can. You could solely engage in barter, but you don't because it is incredibly inefficient and primitive and you obviously recognize the superiority of having a single medium of exchange with which to purchase goods and services.

>>139004889
I also think spiritual and metaphysical matters are of paramount importance. I honestly wasn't trying to de-rail the thread or anything with my question about economics, it just always just struck me as curious that Evola seemed to hate capitalism and communism and I thought I would get some honest replies. My original question related to what system the masses would live under while the Ubermenschen strive for transcendence, then everyone started bitching about capitalism.

>>139005210
i dont know what his alternative is, but imo a system like national socialist... where the monetary system which is the lifeblood of the economy, and all dealings revolves around it, is tied to the people in the way of work or some other personal thing that moulds its worth, and the dealings are never done so by some third party (private owned bank) or in an impersonal way (state deciding who is worth what)

The Traditional perspective and things Evola talks about are really uncommon in any discussion nowadays.

rushed effortpost:

evola believed in transcendence not as an achievement of thought/intellectualization but as a fundamental orientation of being

you don't have a body, your body has you. you are simply the consciousness FOR the body - the particular biological system - that you are.

this universe is, obviously, thermodynamic, it is in constant flux, constant change, the only rule is the eternal turnover of birth and death.

beings that live in their body die with the body, beings that identify not with their contingent, ephemerally conditioned self but with the fact of their being itself, their "transcendental I", that I that apprehends itself as an I subject to necessity, natural law, etc. transcends the human condition

transcendence is, in short, nothing but developing AND living a holistic, intuitive knowledge of this reality that you're in and the system that you are, and that the only true overcoming is the overcoming in you of everything that is made a slave of external determinations

subjectivity is a void/negativity whose "goal", as it were, is to negate its own particularity but not in such a way that we are re-absorbed into some pre-ontological medium/divine goop but retain the naked, absolute fact of our individuality in and through the "primordial state", which Evola says is equivalent to the death-state

only an a transcendent, self-sufficient selfhood is truth, is power, is dignity and glory. everything else is playing the thermodynamic game of change and exchange, of generation and destruction

Evola isn't against technology per se, he is against the materialist attitude that informs it. How much of technological development in the Western world is geared around making consumerist bullshit that does nothing for the spiritual fulfilment of mankind? I would find a quote but I am phone posting.

Just fyi this guy posts this same shitty meme EVERY time Evola is mentioned. Its always in the first few comments and its just overall a shitty meme, doesnt convey anything, doesnt caricature Evola well it just paints him as a fag. You could tell this was a lefty who thought fagging Evola up would make us think he was himself a decadent or something. Overall bad propaganda

>transcendence
The thing is that the term 'transcendence' has been abused, so telling people about trancendence as proper orientation of life is running quickly into misunderstanding. I've found Evola's explanation in his Revolt to be quite powerful. It is fitting for the first chapter of his magnum opus and absolutely necessary to understand Evola (or other Traditionalist writers):

>In order to understand both the traditional spirit and modern civilization as its negation, it is necessary to start from a fundamental point: the doctrine of the two worlds.

>There is a physical order and a metaphysical order. There is a mortal world and the world of the immortals. There is the higher reason of “being” and the lower one of “becoming”. More broadly: there is the visible and tangible and beyond it, first of all, there is the invisible and intangible as the superworld, origin, and true life.

>Everywhere in the world of Tradition, both in the East and the West, in one form or another, this knowledge was always present as an unshakeable axis around which everything else was ordered.

>We say knowledge and not “theory”. As difficult as it is for moderns to conceive it, it is necessary to start from the idea that traditional man knew of the reality of an order of being much vaster than what today corresponds to the word “real”. Today, fundamentally, he no longer conceives as reality anything that lies beyond the world of bodies in space and time. Certainly, there are those who still admit something beyond the sensible: however, it is always in the form of an hypothesis or a scientific law, a speculative idea, or a religious dogma that he admits this something, so actually he does not surpass that limitation: practically, i.e., as direct experience, whatever difference there is in his “materialistic” and “spiritualistic” beliefs, the average modern man forms his image of reality only in relation to the world of bodies.

Evola was not against technological advancement what he hated was the dehumanizing effect it had. He was a gunner in the war and may have killed people or maybe didnt, that bothered him that you could make even warfare a mechanical routine as he thought wars should be personal. Thats his view on tech in general.
