REVOLT AGAINST THE MODERN WORLD

REVOLT AGAINST THE MODERN WORLD
A thinking person must come to the conclusion to reject the current
system in its entirety. This national crisis makes a total change
necessary. The European and worldwide crisis can only be resolvable
through a radical political transformation.
What the world needs is in some ways a revival of the past. This past
may be called "mythical" in the sense that it is not the past of
official history but what the myths tell us of former ages. We
emphasize the revision of conventional history to create a true view
of the past, which has been destroyed by various developments under
the name of progess.
The nations of the modern world are largely governed by political
parties. A study of this fact will reveal that a political party is,
by definition, a body which represents part of the nation, rather than
the whole of the nation. Thus, in a typical "democracy" we have
parties which represent different interests. The party principal
promotes the division within the population to the detriment of the
National Interest, the common good and the freedom of the individual.
To the idea of division based upon class, religion or status, we
counterpoise the idea of national unity. An unity based upon the need
to seek the temporal and spiritual welfare of every citizen; upon the
notion that true unity is a consequence of an all embracing justice;
upon the recognition of a nation as a community of communities. A
political party necessarily promotes conflict and hatred; we reject
these nihilistic tendencies and seek the promotion of co-operation,
love of family and community and a sense of honour, tradition and
common cause.
Basically, one can say it is best to avoid dramatic social and
political change but the current situation and the revolutions Europe
has gone through call for a new revolution in reverse. Our aim must
not not be creating a new society and not attempting to create
revolutionary new modern state. It is necessary to restore a
traditional one. We are conservative in the sense that we try to
restore the past and in the sense that we do not belive in liberal
democracy. We reject such doctrines as liberalism, individualism,
materialism, and communism. The revolt means a struggle against
modernism, Capitalism, American-Zionist imperialism, against the decay
of the West in all its expressions: in a word, against Globalism and
Mondialism, the project of homologation of peoples and continents to
the totalitarian one-way thinking of the America-centred New World
Order.
The Wesern nations need to regain the heroic spirit of this lost past
through radical social, cultural and moral transformations. The
necessary changes cannot be brought about by tinkering within the
System, or by relying on the System's own institutions. They can only
spring from a Counter-Revolution. This revolution must begin in the
hearts and minds of individuals, then spread by example to involve
whole communities in alternative structures. Once we cease to depend
on the old State, it can be swept aside. This means to create a new
type of total culture in which values, politics, art, social norms,
and economic activity are all part of a single organic national
community. This changes must attempt to transform society in order to
overcome perceived sources of national weakness. There is hardly one
healthy part of the nation's existing political and social life to be
retained. Since a change cannot be made by evolutionary development,
we therefore try to bring about revolutionary change. In this way and
in this sense we are revolutionary and opposed to conservatism as the
strive to maintain the present state and avoid dramatic social and
political change. The decadence of our society is such that we can
only be a revolutionary movement with its objective nothing but a
total and complete transformation of our society and its life
principal.
Modern liberal-capitalist society cannot be "reformed". Between the
soul destroying materialism of this system, with its attendant curses
of mass unemployment, drug addiction, sexual deviancy, and spiritual
and cultural degeneration, and the New Social Order sought for the
good of our People, there is an unbridgeable gap. The crisis will end
and a new age will begin that restores the people to a sense of
belonging, purpose, and greatness. We need to take drastic action
against our nation's "inner" enemies. The end result of this
conservative revolution will be the emergence of a new man and new
woman. This new man and new woman will be fully developed human
beings, uncontaminated by selfish desires for individual rights and
self-expression and devoted only to an existence as part of the
renewed nation's destiny. The worst Age, the current Age of Iron would
then necessarily be followed by a new Golden Age. Though for the time
being one cannot hope to bring about the dawn of a New Golden Age he
still has the choice to fight the demons in himself and within society
to form distinguished individuals and a state of order. "I don't
believe that philosophy taken in its narrow theoretical meaning, is
able to influence politics. It has to be turned into ideology or
universal vision of the world. Such an example was given by
Enlightenment, Marxist dialectic materialism and by certain
philosophical ideas, which were included in the concept of German
national socialism." (Julius Evola, excerpt from an interview)
The "differentiated person" feels like an outsider in this society and
feels no moral obligation toward society's request that he joins what
he regards as an absurd system. Such a person can understand not only
those who live outside society's parameters, but even those who are
set against such (a) society, or better, this society. (Julius Evola,
Cavalcare la tigre, p. 179.)
"Again, we can see that the various facets of the contemporary social
and political chaos are interrelated and that it is impossible to
effectively contrast them other than by returning to the origins. To
go back to the origins means, plain and simple, to reject everything
that, in every domain, whether social, political and economic, is
connected to the "immortal principles" of 1789 in the guise of
libertarian, individualistic and egalitarian thought, and to oppose to
it a hierarchical view. It is only in the context of such a view that
the value and freedom of man as a person are not mere words or
pretexts for a work of destruction and subversion." (Julius Evola, Gli
uomini e le rovine, Rome: Edizioni Settimo Sigillo, 1990, p. 64.)

"The actual western «civilization» is awaiting for a substantial
revolution without which it is destined, sooner or later, to collapse.
It has realized the most complete perversion of every rational order
of things. Kingdom of subjects, gold, car, number, in it there no way
to breath any more, neither liberty, nor light. The West has lost the
meaning of command and obey. It has lost the meaning of the action and
Contemplation. It has lost the meaning of hierarchy, of spiritual
power, of man-gods. It doesn't know the nature anymore. This not for
the western man, a living body made of symbols, of Gods and rituals, a
splendid cosmos, in which man moves freely, as «a kingdom in a
kingdom». It has decayed in an opaque and fatal appearance, of which
the profane sciences try to ignore the mystery with small laws and
small hypotheses instead. The west doesn't know the Wisdom anymore: it
doesn't know the stately silence of the dominators of itself anymore,
the calm illuminated of the Clairvoyants, the superb «solar» reality
of those people in which the Idea made himself blood, life and power.
To the Wisdom have taken over the rhetoric of the «philosophy» and of
the «culture», the teachers' kingdom, the journalists', the
sportsmen', the scheme, the programs, the proclamation. To it have
taken over the sentimental contamination, religious, humanitarian, and
the race of the "speakers" who get excited and run, intoxicated, while
exalting the «to become» and the «practice», because the silence and
the contemplation frighten them. The west doesn't know the meaning of
State anymore. The state-value, 1'Imperium as synthesis of
spirituality and royalty as street to the «upper-world», as it was
known to the great ancient civilizations, from China to Egypt, from
Persia to Rome and to the Sacred Roman Empire of the German Nation,
has been submerged in the bourgeois poverty of a trust of slaves and
merchants. What the war is, the one war wanted in oneself as a
superior value both to win and to lose as that sacred way of spiritual
realization for which the celestial centre of Wotan, the Walhalla, is
privilege of the fallen heroes on the battleground; for this reason in
Islam the «holy war», jihad, is synonymous of «God's way»; for this
reason in Aryan India the warrior appears beside the ascetics and in
the classical ancient world the "mors triumphalis" is interpreted as
victory on the death. What such a war is, they don't know, these
formidable «activists» of Europe, that don't know more warriors but
only soldiers, and that a little war has been enough to terrorize them
and make them revert in the rhetoric of the humanitarianism, of the
pacifism and of the sentimentalism. Europe has lost simplicity, has
lost the centrality, Europe has lost life. The democratic evil and the
Semitic poison corrode it in all of its roots, even in the right, even
in the sciences, even in the speculation. Leaders, human beings that
stare out not because of violence, not because of greed for profit,
not because of ability of exploiters of slaves, but instead for
irreducible and transcendent qualities of life there aren't any.
Europe is a great headless body, possessed and shaken by an anguish
that nobody dares to express, that has gold for blood, cars and
factories for meat, newspapers for brain. A shapeless body that turns
on itself in anguish, pushed by dark and unpredictable forces, that
implacably crush anyone who attempts to oppose to it or even just to
escape the mechanism. All of this was the famous western
«civilization» able to do.
This and the claimed result of the superstition of the «Progress»,
away from the imperial power of Rome, from the Doric Hellas, from all
the other exemplary forms of the great primordial Aryan civilizations.
And the circle closes more and more around the few that are still able
to feel the great disgust and the great revolt." (JULIUS EVOLA, Pagan
Imperialism, Lipsia 1933)
It is true to say that people cannot stage a revolution without
leadership, just as the leadership cannot fulfill a revolution without
the people's forces. The leadership and the people are in fact, two
sides of the same coin.
"Our momentary situation takes the form of a great battle--a battle
which may take more than one war to resolve it, or which may be
resolved by a sudden cataclysmic happening, entirely unforeseeable to
us now. On the surface of history it is the unforeseen that happens.
The most human beings can do is to be prepared inwardly." (Francis
Parker Yockey )

ESCHATOLOGY, DAJJAL AND IMAM MAHDI
The signs are unmistakable on the not too distant horizon of the
apocalyptic events summarized by the name of the "Antichrist" (Dajjal)
and the appearance of the Savior (Jesus [a.s.], Imam Mahdi [a.s.],
Kalki, Maitreya). We must recognize the times in which we are living.
It does not follow that we know the hour of judgment, for no one can
know that. On the contrary, there are also indications of the
possibility of a "global Intifada" which would shake off the
approaching menace and thus delay the hour for several decades, or
centuries. Now, what is the Dajjal, the Antichrist? In one sense,
certainly, he will be a man, the highest ruler of the
counter-hierarchy, a negative Chakravartin, who will rule the new
world order of Mammon in person. But primarily he is nothing other
than the resistance of the ego, of materialistic cravings, against the
new irruption of eternity into time which will end this dark age and
begin a new cycle.
Obviously the preparation for the Antichrist has been helped along by
the fact that a majority of mankind is concerned only with material
things and with an ever-increasing quantity with the loss of all
quality, and furthermore, deflected from any inwardness through the
demon of the mass-media, pornography, and drug consumption. In this
spiritually poisoned atmosphere, a vague need for salvation and
liberation is felt: the "New Age" points in that direction, with
Satanism and parts of Theosophy as its conscious aspect, and a great
number of adherents of the great religions (charismatics, ecumenists,
etc.) as its unconscious. The "Antichrist" will appear in the guise of
a savior and preach one of these current parodies of the traditional
teachings. His appearance presumes several things: a globalized
civilization with the capacity for direct technical communication,
which has clearly been present for several years; an almost complete
disappearance of past moral assumptions, the so-called "change of
values" or, better, "collapse of values"; the dulling of the heart
through the incessant flooding with violent and sexual images, which
no one can escape even when rejecting this perversion. The latter
blocks any "intelligence of the heart," which alone allows one to
distinguish the Antichrist from the true Savior, as both apparently
promise the same for the masses. This applies outside the Islamic
lands, since Russia and China, too, have been infected for a decade
with the Western consumer civilization. The significance does not lie
in a sum-total of "sins" like a record incurring punishment, as those
unfortunate "Christian fundamentalists" imagine it, but in the
blinding of the inner organ of sight through dulling it and
encapsulating it in the ego.
The decision must be made today to slay the Antichrist in the great
Jihad in one's own breast, so as to be able to face him in the outer
world. The first is the spiritual duty and the legitimate initiation,
which is to be accomplished today, and not an aesthetic gathering of
the fairest spiritual blossoms that former ages have brought forth.
And last of all is the "political" task that remains: not to quarrel
about ruling systems or over Left and Right, but to oppose the "great
Satan"! The coming of the personified Dajjal can be stopped, if one
can succeed in breaking the grip of mankind's enemy on the globe. An
economic collapse at the "right" moment may be part of the plan of the
New World Order, but the world-usurer's system could also collapse at
the "wrong" moment, bringing the mega-machine to a halt. But this does
not lie in our hands. Other uncertainties include natural
catastrophes, not least a pole-shift, which is always connected with
the restitution of the Golden Age and the primordial, Hyperborean
Tradition, and which strangely enough is even predicted for the not
too distant future by materialistic science.
We are not very optimistic that the course of events will change much,
in view of the principle that the world of outer appearances is merely
the projected soul-condition of mankind. The concrete deserts are
inside us; unbridled desires preconditioned the deluge of advertising;
long before the dissolution of states, the soul-hierarchy was
destroyed within us. What appears as an obstacle may in the last
resort bring about the intended result (but also vice versa). He who
thinks that, given the depressing state of the world, he can only save
his own soul will certainly not save it, because he obviously clings
so much to his ego that he will die with it. As approaching the hour
of death, the life of the beyond already enters the dying person, so
that a happiness, inexplicable in medical terms, often comes shortly
before the final crisis, the conscious witnesses of the last hours are
blessed with the reflection of the new Golden Age of the next human
cycle. Evola speaks of this, when he closes his Revolt against the
Modern World with these reassuring words: "although the Kali Yuga is
an age of great destruction, those who live during it and manage to
remain standing may achieve fruits that were not easily achieved by
men living in other ages."

CONSERVATIVE REVOLUTION
"If God does not exist, everything is permitted." (Fedor Dostoevsky)

The famous critical diagnosis of Friedrich Nietzsche that "God is
dead" and his concomitant insight into the devaluation of all values
in the name of enlightenment reason together with the experiences of
the first world war have especially led german intellectuals to
question and challenge the political heritage of the French Revolution
and the intellectual heritage of a self-destructive enlightenment
reason, as they perceived it. Against these two mutually reinforcing
paradigms of political and cultural modernity these intellectuals then
tried to reestablish a way of thinking that is premised on regaining
firm ground for social, cultural and political development in
transsubjective and transhistorical powers such as God, tradition or a
mythological notion of nature.
It is necessary to be clear as to the significance of these
ideological traditions. They embrace in fact some of the most
significant theorists of European politics: Oswald Spengler, Carl
Schmitt, Ernst Junger, Arthur Moeller van den Bruck, Ernst Niekisch,
Friedrich Hielscher and Otto Strasser of Germany and a veritable host
of publicists of inter-war Europe.
These thinkers have been categorized by the German New Right theorist
Armin Mohler as part of the broad 'Conservative Revolution' in 1920's/1930's
Germany. This non-Nazi German system was examined for qualities which
supported an 'anti-American'/anti-consumer capitalist /anti-liberal,
politics. Certainly, the 'revival' of the principles of the
Conservative Revolution, lie at the basis of much of the present
activism of the Euro-nationalist forces. The neo-conservative current
in the GermanWeimarRepublic babtised "Coservative Revolution" by
Mohler movement was an elitist political enterprise that sought to
restore Germany to her original spiritual and worldly standing as
leader of the mediaeval Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation.
Constituted of such intellectuals as Oswald Spengler, Arthur Moeller
van den Bruck, and Edgar Julius Jung, the neo-conservatives aimed at
destroying the foreign socio-political ethos of the
LiberalWeimarRepublic which had been forced on Germany by her foes.
In the context of Germany-before-Hitler, these theorists offered an
alternative to the disaster for any idea of European Revolution, which
Hitler symbolised, and ultimately - became. For Spengler, the issue
was not German revanchism and eastern expansion, but the international
position of the "white world"; this leader of the 'Conservative
Revolution' school desired the moulding of a new state of
'Prussian-Socialism', the inter-linked union of the classes. For
Schmitt, a new European political idea would overcome the old
narrowness of the nations; this Conservative Revolutionary saw each
state, supreme over the former divisions of class and party,
individualism and liberal weakness, perfecting a cooperative European
commonwealth. For Jünger, a new state must perfect the total
mobilization of the people towards modernization and the creation of
real social wealth; this leader of the 'National Revolution' school
saw a new 'Worker' of brain and brawn, utilizing technology to conquer
the future. For Moeller van den Bruck, the 'young peoples' of Germany
and Russia were in revolt against the Western capitalist path; this
thinker who spanned the three schools called upon youth to reject
materialism and capitalist atomism and seek a higher mission. For
Niekisch, there was the call of a new 'barbarism' against capitalist
rationalism; this prominent 'National Bolshevik' urged a revolutionary
alliance with communist Russia (he predicted it would soon become
'national'), to overturn the burgeoning international capitalism and
argued for a union within Germany of all revolutionary anti-liberal
forces against the status quo. His fellow 'National Bolshevik',
Hielscher, recognized in the various oppressed nationalities of the
earth, potential allies not enemies in a massive program to strangle
the false-international order of capitalism. For Strasser, the man who
quit the Nazi party for his principles, there was a blending of the
schools in his 'Black Front' party, a plan to revitalize Europe in a
commonweath, neither capitalist nor Marxist, based upon organic social
classes and a genuine division of wealth and responsibility.
This line of thought has not only inspired a great number of German
intellectuals in the post-war era, including famous authors such as
Oswald Spengler, Thomas Mann and Carl Schmitt, but also strongly
influenced for example the work of Ernst Forsthoff, Arnold Gehlen and
Helmut Schelsky.
