"Evola, an Italian fascist philosopher"[edit]

I have once again removed this improper characterization. Here are a few relevant quotes:

"As we have seen, Julius Evola, who might conceivably be counted among them--was not a "fascist" thinker in any meaningful sense of the term. He himself, both implicitly and explicitly, rejected such a characterization. That he remains identified as a fascist thinker by many contemporary commentators tells us more about contemporary discussions than it does about Fascism." Mussolini's intellectuals: fascist social and political thought p. 250

"Whomever he influenced, he influenced them with doctrines that could only be characterized as "Traditional"--certainly not Fascist." "Evola was not a Fascist thinker, so it would be hard to imagine that his ideas might be "quintessentially" Fascist." The search for neofascism p.108

"Whatever the influence of Evola on the antidemocratic thought of Western and Eastern Europe, it cannot be classified as 'fascist' or 'neofascist'" It is at best an expression of that traditional reactionary thought found among those thinkers who, in the first years of the nineteenth century, sought the restoration of a Europe that preceded the French Revolution--or, preferably, a world that preceded the Renaissance. None of this tells us anything about Fascism. Fascism: The nature of fascism p.340 Posted by Pollinosisss 15:35, 2 January 2010

Some nice quotes, though author's names would help other editors. It is not sufficient to make edits with the rationale you gave "It is my understanding that Evola was not a Fascist in any meaningful sense of the word" - That is original research/opinion, so your quotes are most welcome, though none of them is exactly deinitive; at best they are equivocal. Unfortunately, I do not currently have access to my sources, but the Wikipedia article on Julius Evola is less equivocal. Forgive me quoting Wikipedia (!), but the article itself is well-sourced:

"In the late 1920s, Evola expressed his support for a radical Fascist revolution to sweep modern Judeo-Christianity out of Italy...."

"...he hoped to influence the Mussolini regime toward his own variation on fascist racial theories..."

"From 1934 to 1943, he edited the cultural page of Roberto Farinacci's journal Regime Fascista."

"Evola later recounted that Mussolini had found in his work a uniquely Roman form of fascist racism distinct from that found in Nazi Germany"

and there are many others. In addition, it is worth noting that Evola is listed under the category "Italian neo-fascists". It is undoubtedly the case that he was never a member of Mussilini's Fascist party, but that does not mean he was not a fascist. Emeraude (talk) 16:19, 2 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
