Julius Evola

I haven't read what he's said of capitalism, but it is a force that should be opposed. It is every bit as materialistic and godless as socialism. A true return to tradition would mean a rejection of all of these materialist philosophies.

I disagree. What we have today isn't free market capitalism, it's a social warfare-welfare State supported by expropriating property off productive citizens. The "permanent adolescent" class that we now see (feminists, transgenders, homosexuals, NEETS, etc.) is a by-product of the welfare State. Private property capitalism and egalitarian-multiculturalism are contradicting policies. Today we have the State impeding private property owners from freely discriminating against and in favor of whomever they wish.

Have you read Hans Hoppe?

finally read Revolt recently, now I'm almost done with Men Among The Ruins.

I just bought most of his other works, I find it extraordinarily fascinating.

western civilization predates Christianity by centuries

I'm talking about English/American 19th century gilded era type capitalism. It created a massive proletariat class, and only encouraged materialist, nihilist beliefs and philosophies. Socialism only came about because of capitalism. The right to property is only destroyed under capitalism.
>western civilization predates Christianity by centuries
No it didn't, the shared culture and heritage of the European peoples came about only through the Church. There was no concept of "Europe" before the Church.

And in any case, if you want to revive the "spirit" of the pagan Hellenistic world as an alternative to materialism and Christ, you can't. That way died with Christ on the Cross.

>The right to property is only destroyed under capitalism.
What? The idea of private property is only eroded and dismissed by State-worshipers and the new democratic-egalitarian sentiment that is poisoning the West. If we were to return to unrivaled laissez-faire economic policies, the welfare state (and those who live off of it) would disappear. Many of the people who are moral degenerates today would have to put their behavior back in the closet, fearing that they'd be ostracized and outcast from society. See image.

>what
Property ownership is a fundamental right. Under capitalism, property and the means of production is inevitably centralized under the control of a few individuals or corporations, leading to a the rise of a landless proletariat class (see: Victorian London and American cities). Under socialism, this centralization happens under the state.

I get where you're coming from bro, but both capitalism and socialism are modernizing, anti-traditional forces.

If you're interested in an economic theory in line with both traditional European ideals and Catholic social teaching (one and the same), you should check out

Chesterton and Belloc are always GOAT.

>Under capitalism, property and the means of production is inevitably centralized under the control of a few individuals or corporations
I highly doubt this claim but I will look into in nonetheless.

He seems like an interesting card, I like this quote:
shows how something as pristine (potentially) as the free market can be muddied up with materialism and, as we will eventually see if we follow as we are, the opening up of borders/dissolution of cultures. It's great for the economy, but it erodes at the social structure of a people. For example, how many of you honestly know your neighbours on a first-name basis? At least in urban areas, most people just chase the corporate ladder and think of nothing else. It's the "Black Friday" system, you'd drop a conversation to chase after a deal at some store. Don't get me wrong, the free market is the path of least resistance, but these are its downfalls.
The same goes with Marxist theory, or hyper-egalitarian idealism.

I read that he died from complications of an injury he sustained during a bombing raid, the madman was just walking around like it was a normal day.
I also read that he wasn't too fond of the National Socialists. Not too sure about that. His name sounds cool, as well.

>I read that he died from complications of an injury he sustained during a bombing raid, the madman was just walking around like it was a normal day.
He was defying fate by going to a walk while the city was getting bombed.
