Capitalism & Socialism: From Agrarian Nomadic Peoples

Agrarian Nomadic Peoples:
These groups often reflect a lunar, matriarchal, and telluric (earth-bound) spirituality, contrasting with the solar, warrior-based ethos of traditional patriarchal civilizations.

Example of Germanic peoples:
1. Sun (Proto-Germanic sōwelō/sōwulō)
- Runic Evidence: In Old Norse and Old English, the sun ᛊ / ᛋ is grammatically feminine.
- Typically Feminine in early Germanic languages (e.g., Old English sunne, Old Norse sól).
- Mythological Association: “Sun Mother" - The sun is often considered feminine, associated with warmth, life, and nurturing energy. Some myths describe the sun as a motherly or goddess-like figure.

2. Moon (Proto-Germanic mēnô)
- Runic Evidence: The word is masculine ᛗ in Old Norse and Old English.
- Typically Masculine in early Germanic languages (e.g., Old English mōna, Old Norse máni).
- Mythological Association: “Moon Father” - The moon is typically viewed as masculine, linked to night, cycles, and sometimes war or hunting. The moon is personified as a male deity or warrior.

The sun (die Sonne) is grammatically feminine, while the moon (der Mond) is masculine—an inversion of the traditional solar-masculine and lunar-feminine symbolism characteristic of Solar-Uranian (Indo-Aryan) Civilizations. This linguistic structure reflects the dominance of Demetrian, gynocratic, and telluric forces within these cultures, marking a clear deviation from the sacred solar principle. Similarly, in the semitic language Hebrew, the sun (ha-shemesh) is feminine, and the moon (ha-yareach) is masculine.

Socialism and capitalism, as degenerate expressions of lunar spirituality, did not arise from Jewish influence but from Agrarian Nomadic Peoples. Chthonic-Demetrian peoples meaning Agrarian Nomadic Peoples are marked by democratic, egalitarian, and tribal structures, bound to the immanent and the terrestrial. In contrast, Solar-Uranian (Indo-Aryan) civilizations embody hierarchical order, verticality, and imperial grandeur, oriented toward the transcendent. Metaphysically, chthonic agrarian systems inevitably degenerate into authoritarianism and collapse, enslaved by materialistic forces and earthly determinism.

On the use of the term "Solar-Uranian (Indo-Aryan) Civilizations":

Julius Evola's use of the term "Solar-Uranian (Indo-Aryan) Civilizations" instead of simply "higher Indo-European traditions". Here’s why he preferred this formulation:

1. Solar-Uranian Symbolism: Hyperborean and Olympian Archetypes
- Solar represents the Apollonian principle—order, hierarchy, clarity, and spiritual transcendence, linked to the Hyperborean myth of a primordial polar civilization.
- Uranian refers to Uranus (Ouranos), the Greek sky god, symbolizing the transcendent, celestial, and masculine principle—detached from earthly chaos.
- Together, they signify a warrior-priest ethos—active spiritual mastery, as opposed to passive "lunar" (telluric, chthonic, or matriarchal) civilizations.

2. Indo-Aryan vs. Generic "Indo-European"
- Evola distinguished between Aryan (as a spiritual elite) and merely Indo-European (a broader racial-linguistic category).
- "Aryan" in his usage denoted a sacred regal tradition—not just ethnicity but a metaphysical quality of divine kingship (the kshatriya ideal).
- He saw later Indo-European cultures as decadent compared to the primordial Hyperborean-Aryan source.

3. Rejection of Modern Racial Theories
- Evola criticized biological racism (e.g., Nazi Nordicism) in favor of a spiritual racism—where "Aryan" was a state of being (linked to the svabhāva of Hindu caste doctrine).
- "Solar-Uranian" thus denotes an initiatic quality, not just bloodline. This aligns with his elitist, anti-egalitarian view of history.

4. Esoteric and Anti-Historical Perspective
- Unlike mainstream scholars who treat Indo-European traditions as historical developments, Evola saw them as fragments of a lost Golden Age (Satya Yuga).

Metaphysical part:

The Swastika as a Polar Symbol

The deeper significance of the swastika transcends mere conjectures of modern scholars, connecting instead with a universal tradition found across Indo-Aryan, Hellenic, Egyptian, Celtic, Germanic, and even Aztec cultures. This symbol reflects not just a racial or solar motif but a metaphysical principle—rooted in the Hyperborean origins of the Aryan race.

The swastika is fundamentally a polar symbol, representing the immutable center around which cosmic order revolves. It embodies the "Olympian" spirit—unchanging, sovereign, and superior—contrasting the chaotic forces of becoming. Ancient traditions consistently associate the North with solar kingship, divine fire, and transcendent rulership. The Hyperborean Apollo, the Vedic hvarenô, and the Avestan airyanem waêjô all reflect this solar-polar archetype.

Unlike naturalistic interpretations, the swastika signifies not mere solar rotation but an axis of spiritual power—the cakravartî (world ruler) who governs from an unshakable center. This symbolism extends to sacred geographies: Delphi as the omphalos, Asgard as Midgard, and China as the "Middle Kingdom." The swastika thus marks the intersection of metaphysical centrality and historical dominion.

Herman Wirth’s error was conflating the pure Nordic-Arctic tradition with later, decadent "Atlantic" influences, introducing chthonic and maternal elements alien to the original Aryan spirit. True Nordic symbolism rejects cyclical dissolution (Dionysian passion, Loki’s chaos) in favor of Apollonian stability—fire not as a natural phenomenon but as a hieratic force.

The swastika, as svastika, encodes an affirmation: su-asti—"it is well." It heralds the resurgence of the primordial Aryan will against the encroaching darkness. For those destined to rule, it is the sign of the celestial wheel: dynamic yet centered, victorious yet unchanging.

The Hyperborean homeland may be lost to history, but its truth persists—accessible only through the heroic act of spirit. As Pindar and Li-tse taught, the path to the North is not traversed by ship or chariot but by the flight of the transcendent mind. The swastika, in its highest sense, points to this inner awakening—the return to the Olympian pole.
