>...but Evola influenced the New Right
not really
>>7428999
The contemporary neo-fascist, reactionary, traditionalist, etc far-right movement borrows heavily from Evola. Maybe not the American New Right, but definitely the European.
>>7428999
Evola definitely influenced Benoist at least
>>7429009
in what ways specifically
>>7429059
here you go - "Myth and Violence: The Fascism of Julius Evola and Alain de Benoist":

This guy is good at coming up with new epithets against his opponents. Guilt by association might be an effective power strategy, but it is not a good method if one really wants to understand an ideology.

to basement dwelling reactionaries that story sounds badass and manly as fuck. just let them have their fun. if they ever slip up and reveal their beliefs in real life they'll most likely lose all their friends and get beat up by a bunch of commies.
Where you start will depend on what part of his work you are most interested in. He wrote on many subjects, inclunding philosophy (though those books are very very rare), politics, and, mostly, religion/esotericism/myth.
The safest place to start would be Revolt Against the Modern World. That's his main work. For more politiccs, read Men Among the Ruins and Pagan Imperialism (if you can manage to find the latter). If you like the spiritual aspect more, pick one of his many books on specific subjects. They are all very good, especially his book on Alchemy (Jung said it was one of finest book ever written on subject).
I would recommend not bothering with Ride the Tiger until you have a good grasp of his ideas, because the point of the book will fly way over your head if you read it early like many advise to do.
Also, The Path of Cinnabar, his autobiography, is excellent, and clarifies a lot of things about his other books.
Hope this helps
