I think you'd be more interested in Guenon. Evola is more of a polemicist imo, Guenon is more robust in his commentary

And by more robust I mean more philosophically grounded

Go ahead and consult pic related. It ends all that nonsense.

>options are to take the pomo pill, but that doesn't help you unless you shut up and go back to trying to out-right each other only to realize that doesn't matter either. The other option is to find a purpose.
>good luck. Keep it to yourself. You can make your purpose following that egirl.

Here me out at this point. Throw all those pills in the trash. You go read Marx. You don't even have to agree with him, you can still bad mouth him. Complete the process.
>complete all 4 stages of and both components of alienation
>gain actual esoteric knowledge
>gain actual usable esoteric knowledge
>the extent of this depends on what you do
>you might find a purpose either way but you don't need pills, magic, gnosis, tarot, or any of that other nonsense

Find the fragments of your machine.

What do you recommend reading of Marx? Capital? All the Marxists I've met say don't read Capital... They actually scoff. So I am curious as to what it is I am supposed to read for this esoteric knowledge, as I do like such things.

Most likely not the kind of "trad" you are wanting, but you might be able to fish out good counterarguments from this lecture.

>>24675594
do you know what marxism even is, what portion of marx collected works have you read, it's like eighteen volumes

The strongest argument against Marxism comes from other leftists and it's that "orthodox" Marxism doesn't take into consideration the psychoanalytic qualities of society. The necessity of this analysis is seen clearly in the Frankfurt Schoolers whose entire project consists in cultural analysis synthesized with Marxism. But even Marx himself invented the lumpenproletariat and petit bourgeois concepts, necessarily so, to handle the failing of a strict economic determinism. The plodding but empirical political science of Anglo-America has finally caught up to this idea and even invented psychological schema which can predict support for certain political causes or candidates far greater than economic analysis could. Consider: Why does Zizek, this conservative Stalinist, talk so much about Lacan?
This easily gives way to traditionalist or conservative arguments by replacing psychoanalysis with human nature and other essentialist descriptions

He wrote alot of material. All of his major and intermediate works from the mid 1840's on. His letters can be hit or miss. The one where he spills the shit on all the nobles might be my favorite.

uh start with the greeks
