'Unknown Sources' (2)


In fact, our point was that very few historians are willing to take
into consideration what Evola and de Poncins called the "occult war".
Given the education of current historians, it doesn't come as a
surprise ; and even if some managed to slip through the net of
democratic higher education, were sensitive to that 'third-
dimensional' history, and had the right points of reference to study
it adequately, they know that their superiors, unknown or known,
would not forgive them for publishing the results of their work On
the other hand, conspiratologists such as those to whom we have
referred, who, whether deliberately or not, contribute generously to
discredit this "science", as Evola called it, seem to be encouraged
to swamp the market with their esoteric novels.

As for those Italians who refer both to Garibaldi and to Mussolini to
exalt the greatness of their fatherland, there is no doubt that they
have little to do with the type of man for whom books such as 'Ride
the Tiger' and 'Orientamenti' were cut out ; nor with the right-wing
youngster at which 'Messagio alla gioventù' ('Message to the youth'),
a potent summary, published in 1950 in the first (and only) issue of
a paper called 'I Nostagici', of the powerful 'eleven points'
of 'Orientamenti', was aimed. Neither Mussolini's Italy nor
Garibaldi's Italy could suit the bearer of the Roman-Nordic tradition
Evola was : the latter, because, as superabundantly shown, it was a
creature of the same Masonic forces which stirred up nationalist
revolutions in all European monarchies in the XIXth century ; the
former, because it was not up to the counter-revolutionary principles
and the traditional Roman values it displayed. Fascism, which was
originally a 'bourgeois' revolution, was not able to free itself of
its old demons. In particular, The Fascist movement, founded in 1919,
counted many Freemasons among its first members ; Freemasons were
attracted to Fascism because of its anticlericalism and its will to
form a "new Italian man". It is only subsequently, in the course of
the transformation of Fascism as a movement into Fascism as a regime,
that their relations deteriorated. 'Secret societies' were outlawed
by Mussolini in 1925, following what anti-Masonic violences took
place in Italy ; yet, persecution against Freemasons was not
systematic : Pope Pius XI even criticised the Fascist regime for
being "too soft" on them. Basically, Freemasons played a not
insignificant rôle throughout Fascism. In any case, the relations
between Fascism and Freemasonry were complex, as shown by various
Italian historians, among whom Renzo di Felice.

This can help us to understand why, just as some Russian nationalists
can see in Soviet Russia the continuation of 'Eternal Russia', some
Italian nationalists can consider Mussolini and Garibaldi as bearers
of the Italian tradition ; not to mention that, just after the fall
of Rome, Mussolini punctuated an article published in 'Corrispondenza
Repubblicana', in which he lamented the fact that troops composed of
Negroes paraded under the arches and in the streets of that city
which was built to exalt the glory of ancient and modern Rome, with
Garibaldi's famous call : "Rome or death!'.

"In Italy too Risorgimento liberalism turned into nationalism, the
motto of Garibaldi's troops was not "long live universal suffrage",
but "Rome or death" (...). Everywhere in Europe, "nation" became the
crystallisation point of certain values : tradition as opposed to
levelling, national discipline as opposed to universal excitation,
military honour as opposed to the International… nationalism… kept
alive military impulse, colonialist pioneerism, without which
European peoples would have faded away a long time ago". Believe it
or not, the one who wrote these lines, and who, on the other hand,
criticised pre-Revolutionary legitimism, was none other than Adriano
Romualdi, who is considered as one of the first Italian evolians and
who, as a matter of fact, wrote the first analysis of Evola's work.

This shows how right Evola was to emphasise the fundamental question
of the 'vocations' and of the 'choice of traditions', which he
brought up in several works, among which 'Sintesi di dottrina della
razza'.

Unfortunately the first one was Great Master of the Masonry of
