Needless to say that Evola himself saw it. He saw that, if the
diagnosis made by Marcuse of contemporary world was accurate, the
remedies he offered, far from curing it, could only aggravate its
state. Basically, it is not about liberating man, but about
liberating something in man, and that 'something' is precisely that
wild, elementary, undifferentiated element which, awakened without
him being aware of it, out of the traditional and initiatory
framework, turns him into a 'possessed' vegetable in the garden of
the 'Global Village'.
In the USA, Marcuse was on the payroll of the "Office of Strategic
Services", and yet nothing prevented him from supplementing his
income.
