This is very good. I need to read the book! It’s my theory that the heroic myths at the end of the heroic age were actually outlining how warrior cultures fell to materialistic cultures and became mercenaries. Heracles is the perfect example of this, and Hera perfectly outlines the devouring mother in this age. His name is even in mockery of hers.
War is an abomination and must be abolished. War is the intent to murder other human beings. Thou Shalt Not Kill. The warrior ethic and spirit is also shown in non-violent peace actions such as Gandhi's nonviolent movement that overthrew the British Empire. Force applied under law and justice is the high standard that we must now meet. The problem is that there are lawless forces in the world who do not abide by dictates of international law. What to do about them? Shun them, stop trading with them, speak out against them, and organize the people to use nonviolent force to stop their nefarious activities.
Guilt tripping between races is actually very much an appeal to mercantile and decadent sentiments. When you have lived hard and sacrificed for the lives of your own children, and when they are under threat, then guilt trips like ghandi or MLK don’t work. You do realize you actually perfectly outlined the mechanism by which the trade expands which is guilt, those living in decadence and displaced from the reality of life and death have loftier utopian morals that bring further dystopias. Ghandi caused his own people to be genocided and for the formation of Pakistan. Your black and white vantage of the British bad and brown people good doesn’t see that brown people kill each other all the time or that the heroic elements were still trapped even within the British empire or that the brown people are no less prone to materialistic greed or destroying each other.
The warrior is inherently violent and by being bonded to a people and responsible for them, and by their reverence for his sacrifice upholding that order then there is peace. To expect the warrior to be a good solider for internationalism but to defer and be peaceful in the face of his own annihilation and subjugation is the epitome of slavery. This is the final form of literally Christian sentiment that the church can take the gold but the warrior leader must humble himself… we now see this with international organizations and warriors as expendable tools of the machine. Your international law and organizations literally is the British empire of today but in a more egalitarian form with the third world, no less materialistic or unnatural… just further progressed into the destruction of what upholds it all and decadence.
Also how Heracles lost his family to the material mimetics of trader civilization of greed producing sacrificial crises. Girard very much oversimplified all motivations to material desire, but his description of material desire is on point. He also has too hallow of a spirit for myth interpretation… he boiled everything down to scapegoating and couldn’t see that sacrificial crises were only in decadent places where tensions of material desire and high population volume errupted. The fall of Troy is materialism coming there, the myth of its own walls even shows the first sacrificial crisis and that Heracles came to the rescue as a mercenary. The myth of his labors prior to that was his will subsumed to decadence, his family sacrificed not because of his own violence but because of Hera. It’s a myth about material desire mimetic entering and destroying the heroic age of Europe, and destroying family bonds to outsource the men to mercenary roles.
The function of every globalist organization is to prevent war in the interest of any one people and to facilitate trade through the devices of war ie technics. It utilizes the competitive impetus for consumption and commerce both literally in the technics traded and also by the means the order is upheld ie soldiers.
In this manner it is the next fold off of mercantile imperialism that was securing trade through war (not to the benefit of the warriors or people)… so organizations like the UN, IMF, and world bank are still globalist they are just in some manner the next fold because they are also partially in opposition to the mercantile imperialism that founded them, just more third world.
The mark of globalism is egalitarianism within a people (so only money distinguishes value) or between people (ie third worldism).
The sciences are part of the competitive impetus and that is why they should be controlled by a stratocracy and not given to consumptive trade. The arts are part of the creative impetus and should be for the expression of the soul of a people not for trade either.
Penso al Ken il guerriero, la saga giapponese, il quale impersonava un eroe ascetico che a costo della propria vita si immolava per la giustizia della sua gente.

Also see Evola’s Revolt Against the Modern World.

Rose - My view is very simple. "Thou Shalt Not Kill"
Sure is simple lol.
Great book. A concise introduction to some of the most important themes in Evola’s work.

Raising the consciousness of those who wish to kill you is a worthy goal! Except, of course, if they murder you! Be victorious or be murdered!
