Evola and Hitler

First, thank you kindly for your response to my original inquiry.
Regarding
what I said about Evola's possible "admiration" for Hitler, perhaps
the more
correct word would be "respect". I understand that, unlike Evola's
definite
"admiration" for Codreanu and his Legion, Evola took both National
Socialism
and Hitler with great reserve. It appears, however, that although
Evola was
critical of the "parts" of National Socialism, he accepted it as a
whole, in the
hope that it could be moved towards Tradition in the future. So,
while Evola
was highly critical of Hitler, he also acknowledged that he was a man
"of a
very extraordinary kind, and extremely gifted".

Regarding Hitler's "mediumistic" qualities- as Evola emphatically
repeats,
these are the exact opposite of an initiatic qualification.
Throughout his work,
Evola emphasizes that the medium belongs to the level of the
"subhuman"-
below even the "human". This would be the case- but I think Hitler
seems to
have fooled even Evola in this regard. It is my belief that Hitler
was less of a
"medium" than simply a great and convincing orator. In addition to
this, Hitler's
famous "rages", as we learn in Irving's "Hitler's War", were very
much put on- "I
need tea, gentlemen- they think I'm furious!" says Hitler to his
entourage while
taking a break from scaring the life out of Austrian emissaries.

For anyone who is interested and who can read Italian, there is an
interesting
text which you (Thompkins&Cariou) may or may not be aware of,
entitled
"Osservazioni critiche sul "razzismo" Nazionalsocialista", published
in "La Vita
Italiana" in November of 1933, in which he discusses a (then) recent
speech
by Hitler. It can be found here: http://www.juliusevola.it/documenti/

Thank you and kind regards,

"Evola did not write in it that Hitler was "a man of a very extraordinary kind, and extremely gifted". This is a mistranslation. The Italian sentence is as ...
