My impression: an incredibly smart but deluded man. He does, however, make an enchanting case for the deeply anti-egalitarian nature of society.

Evola is the redpill.
"“America ... has created a 'civilization' that represents an exact contradiction of the ancient European tradition. It has introduced the religion of praxis and productivity; it has put the quest for profit, great industrial production, and mechanical, visible, and quantitative achievements over any other interest. It has generated a soulless greatness of a purely technological and collective nature, lacking any background of transcendence, inner light, and true spirituality. America has [built a society where] man becomes a mere instrument of production and material productivity within a conformist social conglomerate” "

Eliade is a Romanian who was well into esotericism and religious studies, very interesting read, and he was also a fascist (and fascists make up excellent writers overall, there is a poetic side to fascism).
Belloc was pretty much a hardcore redpilled Catholic, he was one of the few writers who talked about Islam in a very negative light during his time. Back then, people were simply curious about Islam, as a faraway religion. But Belloc considered it as a major heresy, and he already saw it as a major threat to the West.
René Guénon was another esotericist. He studied Islam and Hinduism. What is important about him, he gave another wake up to esotericism when it was dying in the West. In fact, theology studies and esotericism are currently dead, thus explaining why degeneracy is more and more rampant.
Burke is simply babby's first modern conservative read.
