  Troy Southgate. Julius Evola: A Radical Traditionalist
Evola is often portrayed by his opponents as a "fascist," but it may surprise many of them to learn that he relegates "romantic and idealistic" concepts such as the nation, the homeland, and the people to the purely naturalistic and biological level.
Evola attacks universal suffrage because he sees it as the consequence of "the degradation of the ruling class." It is certainly a fact that the reforms of the nineteenth century were achieved at the expense of the ruling classes, but, from an Evolian perspective, the scales were tipped at both ends.
Evola then turns to Otto Weininger, who once "described the figure of the great politician as one who is a despot and at the same time a worshipper of the people, or simultaneously a pimp and a whore." Indeed, by seeking to appeal to the masses the modern leader easily commands their respect and adulation.

 Julius Evola
Julius Evola has over recent years become increasingly known in less conventional strata of the English-speaking world, thanks to an upsurge of interest in metaphysics, as many more people are starting to look beyond the superficial life offered by the materialistic society.
Evola is unapologetically patriarchal, seeing the goddess worship of certain cultures not as the most primordial forms of worship, as it is now fashionable to claim, but as a later development arising from degraded cycles of history.
Evola considers the practical application of the revival of "racism" and "nationalism" as: "One of the preliminary conditions for re-organising those forces which, through the crisis of the modern world, are sinking in the quagmire of a mechanical, collectivistic and internationalistic indifferentiation.

 Julius Evola - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Evola, although not a member of the Fascist Party, and despite his apparent problems with the Fascist regime, was one of the first people to greet Mussolini when the latter was broken out of prison by Nazi commandos in 1943.
Evola fiercely opposed homosexuality due to its dysfunctional undermining of the magnetic polarity and complementary nature of the two sexes and thus the possibility of erotic transcendency.
Evola cites Plato's description of the fall of Atlantis by Atlantean miscegenation with humankind (Critias, 110c; 120d-e; 121a-b) and the biblical myth of the benei elohim, the Sons of God catastrophically mixing with the "daughters of men" (Gen. 6: 4-13) as support for his esoteric, Aryanist anthropogenesis.

The works of the artist and intellectual Baron Julius Evola are classics, classics to the kind which are often quoted, often referred to, whose status is unquestioned, but which have nevertheless lead a cryptic, even marginal existence in the history of modern European thought.
Evola is not classifiable, not in relation to his main themes, still less in relation to specific spiritual or political positions.
The difficulty of Evola's approach lies in the fact that a comparison between European-American modern society on one hand, and the Mediaeval or Indo-Aryan feudal one on the other, is impossible within a universal historical perspective, they are too far apart.

 Revolt Against the Modern World
Evola is chiefly remembered, however, as a scholar of the Hermetic tradition and as a practicing occultist.
Evola's authorities are not always so authoritative as one might wish, but he tells us that he is not interested in mere facticity: legends often contain the more important truth.
Evola claims to have little use for "apocalypticism," which he regards as an example of spiritual degeneration that is both demotic and demonic.

Evola turned next to the study of philosophy (1923-1927), developing an ingenuous perspective that could be characterized as “transidealistic,” or as a solipsistic development of mainstream idealism.
Evola’s rejection of involvement in the socio-political arena must also be attributed to his philosophy of inequality.  Norberto Bobbio, an Italian senator and professor emeritus of the philosophy department of the University of Turin, has written a small book entitled Right and Left: The Significance of a Political Distinction.
When Evola and a few friends came to the realization that the war was lost for the Axis, they began to draft plans for the creation of a “Movement for the Rebirth of Italy.” This movement was supposed to organize a right-wing political party capable of stemming the post-war influence of the Left.

 Julius Evola
Between two supposedly opposed systems Evola maintained that there existed only one essential distinction to be made: this relates exclusively to the nature of political power within the two systems and therefore to their mode of procedure in pursuing what is in fact a programme common to both.
Evola charges American society with creating a totally vacuous kind of human being, whose terms of reference are exclusively related to personal enrichment, whether financial or 'psychological'; one incapable of autonomous choice, an abject conformist; someone who has been made crass and incapable by a materially easy life which is without idealist impulse.
According to traditionalist doctrine as espoused by Evola, American society, in fact, is on an irreversible course to extinction.

Julius Evola, the principal contributor to Introduction to Magic, is a figure of some controversy within esoteric circles.
Evola was the journal’s foremost author, but he was joined by prominent figures in the Italian esoteric scene, such as Arturo Reghini, Giulio Parese and Ercole Quadrelli.
Evola was still working out these ideas at the time of the UR Group project, and his increasingly uncompromising defense of “Tradition” was one factor in the group’s fragmentation after only three or four years of collaboration.

The attendant experi­ences with the UR Group should therefore not be neglected, for in order to clarify essential points necessary to a comprehension of the spirit of Evola's lifework, indeed it is necessary to investigate the precedents, limits, and outcomes of their endeavors.
The first task the UR Group set for itself was to invest the word magic with a particular, active, and functional connotation (as opposed to the conno­tation of knowledge or wisdom attributed to it in antiquity) that was close to the concept delineated by Roger Bacon: practical metaphysics.
The first volume is Introduction into Magic, Rituals and Practical Techniques for the Magus by Julius Evola, UR Group, Introduction by Renato Del Ponte (Inner Traditions) The rites, practices, and texts collected by the mysterious UR group for the use of aspiring mages.

 Report to Himmler on Julius Evola
Needless to say 'Weisthor' was the alias under which, in September 1933, Karl Maria Wiligut, a former officer of the Austro-Hungarian army, placed himself in the service of the S.S., in which he was considered as an expert in Germanic prehistory.
What brings me to these considerations is the fact that Evola, in his exposition, perfect in other respects, speaks of a Demonic Feminine, completely forgetting in the process that the Divine Unity, for the purposes of eternal generation, has to contain a double aspect.
It is ideas of this sort which gave birth to the concept of the Goths as leaders of all the Teutonic ethnic groups and as Sages of the 'Divine Cosmos', whose Aryan functions as Goden (Spiritual guides) remained until today in their component sub-Races, communities, and ethnic groups, despite the corrosive action exercised by Catholicism.

This is because he feels that the State is endowed with an overriding spiritual perspective and that it is there to both guide and judge all economic concepts, although this does cause one to wonder whether such power and authority can be expressed in an non-statist context.
This means, therefore, that all solutions which advocate forms of participation within the current system - including distributist guilds and workers' co-operatives - merely represent a temporary postponement of the inevitable crash.
On the other hand, however, Evola still fails to prove that anything remotely similar can be re-established today.

Evola also believes that the State must not concern itself with economic matters, rather assuming a transcendent role in opposition to the class-oriented obsessions of both the bourgeoisie and Marxists alike.
To stand vigorously in favour of Fascism simply for its own sake, is akin to the fulminating negativity inherent within many of its anti-fascist opponents.
