Is his critique of the Third Reich valid?
AI OverviewJulius Evola's relationship with the Third Reich was complex; while he held a radical Traditionalist view, admiring its rejection of democracy and capitalism, he also criticized it for being populist and failing to establish a true aristocratic political order. He saw potential in aspects like the SS's warrior ethos, but viewed the regime as inadequate, particularly its racial laws and misunderstanding of race, which he attributed to a lack of connection to the transcendent. Ultimately, Evola saw the Third Reich as both a flawed but superior alternative to modern Europe and as a movement that failed to fully embody his ideal principles. Admiration:>Evola admired the Third Reich's rejection of democracy and capitalism, which he saw as a "Third Way". >He was appreciative of the regime's focus on a strong warrior spirit and sense of the sacred among the German people, which he saw embodied in the SS. >He supported the idea of an "organic" state with strong hierarchies and individual responsibility within those hierarchies. Criticism:>He believed the Third Reich was too populist and failed to establish a genuine political order based on traditional European values. >Evola criticized its "blood laws" and war crimes, which he saw as a gross misunderstanding of the issues of race and the Jews. >He argued that Hitler's dictatorship was a weakness, as it lacked a proper line of succession and was tied to the leader's personality. Overall perspective:>Evola viewed the Third Reich as a flawed movement that was nonetheless superior to the modern Europe that arose after its defeat. >His critiques and admiration were rooted in his philosophy of radical >Traditionalism, which sought a return to spiritual and aristocratic principles in opposition to modernity.
