RE: [evola_as_he_is] Elements of Racial Education -- Chap 6
In this section –
“Meaning of Racial Prophylaxis” – Evola suggests some actions
required by the situation of impure races in the nations (a topic addressed in
the previous section.) In quite strong language, Evola addresses the issue of
cross-breeding with non-European races, which he regards as an “utter
treachery toward his own blood and his ancestors and [a] crime in regard to his
descendants.”
This is all the more important, since the
general type is already mixed, and therefore needs to be protected since it
does not have dominant characteristics to the same extant as a pure type. Evola,
moreover, has in mind not just an aversion to (and legislation against) cross-breeding,
but also a positive program to strengthen the race. This positive action cannot
be legislated, but rather requires a honing of sensitivity, so that the race of
the future generations will gradually cleanse itself, and thus approach the
type of the superior core race of the nation.
