No I hate Communists

Communism might be the biggest cope alive
>literal pleb ideology
>"it will happen its inevitable!"
>constant schizophrenia about whether we are approaching communism or fascism.
>claims to be against capitalism but cucks for every social democrat

Hinduism is accessible to westerners. you don't know what you're talking about.

>What about Western Esotericism
You're looking at this all wrong.
You don't just become a "western esotericist" or go to a "western esotericist church"
If you're interest in esotericism look for the esoteric teachings in your given tradition

Capitalism isn't much of an ideology as it is just letting people interact in the modern world
When you try and have a governing body control interactions between people it tends to collapse

what do you want to change?

some people are just retarded don't feel about op

Plato's Republic
Marcus Aurelius Meditations
Odyssey
Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire
The Bible, Gospel of Mathew if you're specific
The City of God by Augustine
The Prince by Machiavelli
Beowulf
The Complete Works of William Shakespeare but if i had to pick a play Hamlet or Romeo and Juliet
Early Kings of Norway by Thomas Carlyle.
Ninety-five Theses by Martin Luther
Westminster Standards
Two Treatises of Government by John Locke
War and Peace
The Hobbit
Essays on Catholicism, Socialism and Liberalism
Thus Spoke Zarathustra
Path to Freedom by Michael Collins
Ulysses by Joyce
The End of History and the Last Man by Francis Fukuyama

Last one isn't because its a good book or a reflection of Western Civilization but the realization of how wrong Fukyama was.

I actually read it expecting it to be some sort of war band proto Bronze Age pervert stuff but it was really just edgy libertarianism

Not in the current sense of the world

If anything he was SUPER racist. Evola's racism went beyond the how the lower classes see racism being strictly material

Evola believed in the supremacy not only of blood but of spirit as well.

wrong

Why are women and homosexualus/leftists so triggered by Evola?

>But as an alternative to it they wished to return to a status quo ante, to a period before their immediate present
Wrong!
Reactionaries seek a return to a Golden Age which is no where near the 'immediate present'

>Take for example those who idealize 1950's America today. Comparing 1950's America with the Victorian Era, one sees that the former was already in an advanced stage of the societal decay
you're mistaking Traditionalists with boomer conservatives this is wrong

>Evola's day, Christians, monarchists, idealized the Middle Ages and Medieval Christendom.
Rightly so it was a better time however no one sees that as an ideal time.

>But Christianity was already an egalitarian and revolutinary ideology with respect to the Ancient World! And so on and so forth.
Evola has stated this long before you have.

>So, quite contrary to OP, Evola held that Tradition was not about idealizing a specific historic stage in the past
correct.

forgot trip on the last post :^)

When you finally get to Evola read around Revolt Against the Modern World then hit the trilogy last.
The minor books and essays provide a context to RATMW

>How much of traditionalism is in essence an idealization of a time from the past that really didn't exist?
Evola never mentioned a specific "time" it was more of a spiritual age

A lot of Evola assumes you understand the basics of what he's talking about here is a good list of topics to get Familiar with

>Republic the only way to create a long lasting Government
lol its a way to create one of the shortest.
To date "anarchist" societies have been the shortest lasting see Catalonia, or Ukraine Workers thing.
Then communism, the USSR and friends only lasted ~80 years
then Republicanism which is quite clearly falling apart in front of our eyes.

Monarchy and the divine rite of Kings is the longest lasting and most stable.

A lot of Evola assumes you understand Guenon's Hindu metaphysics.

Also don't read Revolt Against the Modern World first read other Evola books before you do.

Mishima was a Nationalist

Happy with all this Guenon posting to further traditionalism.

However action is superior to contemplation.
