Audiobook: Revolt Against the Modern World by Julius Evola, Part Two, Chapter 37

Part Two, Chapter 37: The End of the Cycle, from "Revolt Against the Modern World, Politics, Religion, and Social Order in the Kali Yuga", by Julius Evola

In this chapter, the text delves into the profound implications of Soviet collectivism and its influence on both the USSR and America. The analysis begins with the Bolshevik Revolution, highlighting its methodical and calculated nature, devoid of the chaotic and romantic elements seen in other revolutions. The leaders of the Bolshevik revolution are portrayed as embodying a ruthless ideological coherence, where man is merely a tool for the revolution's goals. The text contrasts this with the American approach, noting a spontaneous and pervasive collectivism driven by productivity and pragmatism. The chapter concludes by examining the convergence of Soviet and American systems, suggesting both are moving towards a collectivized humanity, despite their different paths.

This paradoxical situation occurred: once the pariahs organized themselves into an omnipotent organization, they reduced to the status of pariah anybody who adhered to the values and was faithful to the class principles that traditionally defined the nonpariah.

Stalin himself, in his Principles of Leninism, declared that the union of the revolutionary spirit and Americanism characterizes the style of Leninism in the work of the party and the state, as well as the complete type of the Leninist activist.

There is another, opposite phenomenon to be considered, represented by the so-called beat generation and by the “hipsters” in whom an existential rebellion of some youth against American civilization has only an anarchist and destructive character, often ending up without any good causes to fight for and lacking a higher reference point. See my L’arco e la clava, chap. 14, entitled “Youth, the ‘Beats' and Right-wing Anarchists.”

6. The emergence in America of “atheist Christianity” and of the "theologians of the death of God” (such as T. Altizer, Paul van Buren, and J. A. T. Robinson) is a recent and very significant phenomenon. According to this movement, the idea of God in its aspect of transcendence and supematuralism ought to be dismissed, since it is no longer operative or acceptable to modern man; better yet, modern man should not even be bothered with the term "god," due to the traditional implications of such a term. The only thing to be spared is a “demythologized” and secularized version of Christianity, amounting to nothing more than a social and humanitarian morality.

7. This is also reflected in the incredible severity of the penal sanctions that in some states (including the death penalty) are being meted out for "sexual crimes” against women.
