Julius Evola

Giulio Cesare Andrea Evola(May 19, 1898 – June 11, 1974), better known as Julius Evola, was a modernist painter and idealist philosopher. He's often regarded as a Fascist intellectual who's writings built on the "traditionalist school" of thought. His views on tradition were typically based on old-world European notions of aristocracy, ritual and other concepts drawn from primarily Indo-European mythology.

He was regarded as an Antisemite, having written an introduction to the Italian translation of The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion.^[1] He was also critic of Christianity.^[2] He referred to Christianity as a "mystic religion", and what he meant by this was that it was dualistic and infantile, and in his view, a "doctrine for losers".

He was also influenced by the work of Georges Sorel and Sorel's views about the use of myths in mobilizing people to action.^[3]
