Greetings
I disagree with the ethos of this journal.
Julius Evola who "traditionalists" draw upon so much was a vicious
anti-semite involved in marshalling Europe wide anti-Jewish propaganda
in the run up to the Second World War. Despite the very modernist nature
of Nazism and Fascism he sought and achieved close co-operation with
both movements and their sister movements in other European countries.
Of course Julius Evola, like other right wing, fascist and nazi
esotericists, receives a great deal of attention as their are so many
right wing racist occultists looking for heroes and an intellectual
disguise for their prejudices.
Also this kind of "traditionalism" promotes illusionary images of the
past. Fantasies about homogenous, stable communities devoid of conflict
when past societies experienced rapid change, immigration, emigration,
cross-cultural fertilisation, technological change, conflict and class
war just like ours.
My best wishes
Ben
