Julius Evola: Dugin and Bannon’s Nazi Prophet
The “philosopher” who thought Nazism was a “good start”
This “talk” was given at an Italian fascist conference held, incredibly, inside the Vatican in 2014. The conference included Cardinal Raymond Burke who, at the time, was head of the Sovereign Military Order of the Knights of Malta (SMOM) who are Catholic fascists still living out the Crusades.
The talk lays out all of Steven K. Bannon’s ultimate goals with stark directness. He basically calls for the end of western civilization as we know it, in favor of “traditionalism.”
In the full conversation, which is transcribed here, Bannon mentions Julius Evola, an Italian fascist who according to the leading scholar of esoteric traditionalism, Benjamin Teitelbaum, “regarded himself as being to the political right of fascism and Nazism.”
In 1928 Evola wrote a pamphlet called “Pagan Imperialism” which can be seen as a “philosophical” justification of the Third Reich and was influential on the rise of the Nazis.
The document is a refutation of the idea of freedom as a virtue and asserts that individual people, like cells in the body, want to be “dominated.”
Evola was the ultimate authoritarian and believed that the natural condition of human beings is to be either master or slave, and that “freedom” really comes from being enthusiastically enslaved or from being a ruthless dictator.
He was also a genocidal antisemite.
Here Evola makes clear that the “bearer of the value of freedom” is “the Leader” — whoever that happens to be — and “this superior force” would “subordinate the interests of the masses to those wider horizons which it alone can determine.”
Note the similarities with “longtermism.” In order to play the “long game” you need a group of elites with “special knowledge” to do what’s for the “good of the future.”
Evola laments, in 1928, that “almost no one knows anymore how to command, or how to obey.”
And here Evola uses familiar language about how “the pride of subordinates in service to their superiors must be reawakened.” This is explicitly calling for the creation of a cult in order to keep the “subordinates in service.”
Moreover, Evola says there needs to be “creation of elites” based on “actual superiority.” And he uses a version of Steve Bannon’s famous epithet “the administrative state” which Bannon said publicly he wants to destroy.
And here Evola explicitly promotes and justifies “anti-Semitism” as a “further preliminary point for a German recovery” and says “only on the basis of an Aryo-pagan spirituality can a universal antithesis to Semitism develop.”
Note: there is no such thing as “Semitism” which is why I spell “antisemitism” with no hyphens: https://www.holocaustremembrance.com/antisemitism/spelling-antisemitism
Importantly, one of the most important followers of Julius Evola is genocidal Nazi Aleksandr Dugin who says reading Evola “changed my life.”

Milo, who worked for Bannon at Breitbart and worked with misogynistic cult leader Fredrick Brennan to popularize GamerGate, is also a huge fan of Evola, and says Evola “inspired the origin of the alt-right.”
Evola’s influence on the right goes much deeper and darker than this and his writing got even more dangerous later in life.
Among Evola’s other fans was actual Satanic pedophile and Army PSYOP pioneer Michael Aquino, whose techniques are being used against the American people right now. Aquino created the neo-fascist Satanic “church” Temple of Set and helped start the Order of Nine Angles (O9A) which is a violent Satanic cult responsible for numerous murders.
Mike Flynn is a big fan of Aquino and Dugin. He even named his traveling QAnon psyops tour after Dugin’s book and includes Evola’s word “reawaken.”
