We do not agree with certain substantial doctrines of the New Right such as Radical Traditionalism, which grants far more authority to the central political ruler than to even federative states, which ultimately and inevitably brings social dysfunctions at a local scale as we see in bureaucracy and its administrative abstractions. Radical Traditionalism traps adherents in the same life-denying Inward Path as do other traditional religions, giving virtually no importance to evolution. This is the Inward Path of the Buddhist type, which Nietzsche said leads ultimately to “the perfect cow” content with experiencing the personal bliss of the Father Within. As in the Bhagavad Gita, real life, even war, is "lived" as if enduring the duty of the unreal, hoping to be released from it all. We evolve to Godhood materially and supermaterially in the Evolutionary Outward Path. The Inward Path to the God Within is only a symbolic experience of Godhood reached by evolution; and social groups and entities, regardless of their size and importance within American political dissidence, need to keep this in mind.

Refer to the beat movement and true anarchists who Evola calls "anarchists of the Right" and who, unlike other anarchists, "reject certain things not for the mere sake of rejection, but because they cherish values that are not found in the present order; [...] reject the bourgeois world, and aspire to a superior freedom conjoined with a more rigorous discipline."

 


Power and Love

You cannot love - either in the individual, mystical, or collective sense - without knowing and realizing your own power.

Power is felt when you remove the veils between your selves, and weave all projections of who you are into a continuous whole - past and future, concrete and idealized, persona and essence. It is the feeling "I can achieve all I desire because my desires are part of me and I am in control of my path; I have all the resources within me that I need to succeed."

Realize that love, as it's commonly conceived, implicitly involves giving your power away to others - to family, to God, to people close to you to make decisions on your behalf. It involves fragmenting yourself into parts, because you believe it's necessary to make compromises and sacrifices in order to help others.
 

This is not love. True love demands emancipation from the ego and the false boundaries of the self. It grows with confidence, integrity, self-actualization and  wholeness.

 

Virtue

Failing to see values as tangible and real doesn't help people to move forward to a state of objectivity, but rather ensures that they are governed by a base, unreflective set of morals and ethics derived almost entirely from bygone religious traditions. The evolutionary biologists, the atheists, the postmodernists by and large all try to deconstruct and reduce values to their lowest end and impulse, forgetting that values are an innate part of the human condition and that people - at least in their current state - cannot function without them.
 

“The populace think that your rejection of popular standards is a rejection of all standard, and mere antinomianism; and the bold sensualist will use the name of philosophy to gild his crimes. But the law of consciousness abides. There are two confessionals, in one or the other of which we must be shriven. You may fulfill your round of duties by clearing yourself in the direct, or in the reflex way. Consider whether you have satisfied your relations to father, mother, cousin, neighbour, town, cat, and dog; whether any of these can upbraid you. But I may also neglect this reflex standard, and absolve me to myself. I have my own stern claims and perfect circle. It denies the name of duty to many offices that are called duties. But if I can discharge its debts, it enables me to dispense with the popular code. If any one imagines that this law is lax, let him keep its commandment one day. “

Emerson, Self-Reliance (1841)

​​"The consequence of the 'do your own thing' democracy is the intoxication of the greater part of the population which is not capable of discriminating for itself, which, when not guided by a power and an ideal, all too easily loses sense of its own identity."

 

Julius Evola, "Civilta" Americana (American "Civilization") (1945)
