A message by Michel Lord was deleted by mistake - we make mistakes : we are no
traditionalist. It concerned Golden Dawn, which turns out to fail the test of
traditionalism. From our point of view, this is not a bad indication a priori,
since traditionalists, to quote one of the key authors of traditionalists,
namely R. Guénon, are "people who only have a sort of tendency or aspiration
toward tradition without really knowing anything at all about it." From this
standpoint of ours, a racist and European one, whenever a party is dubbed as
`nationalist' by the media, it is a question of whether it promotes a catagogic
form or a restorative form of nationalism, willing and able "to shape
and organise all that corresponds in the social whole to the bodily, vital, or
animal part of a human organism, and that was the domain of the two inferior
classes - work, economy, political organisation in the strict sense - and to
bring about an 'economic peace' which, 'depressurising' the society, will allow
energies of the superior type to free themselves and to act on a higher plane"
(http://thompkins_cariou.tripod.com/id80.html), in short : to restore
`autonomia' and, above all, `autarkeia'. Do Chrysi Avgi's leaders (incidentally,
an acknowledged expert on J. Evola's work mentions on his website that "the
first book on the "books" section of the Golden Dawn's website is their Greek
translation of Julius Evola, Essays on Tradition and the Modern World", a book
that cannot be found in the list of works by the Italian author) share this view
?
There is no way for us to know. Chrysi Avgi's political platform does not seem
to have published online in any of the language we can read, - not that
political programs matter. It is drowned in the usual media relentless
polemical, rhetorical diarrhoea, made from a mixture of imputations of racism,
of `neo-Nazism', and of anti-Semitism. The only thing certain about Chrysi
Avgvi's guidelines is that they go against the extremism typical of the policy
of those who have run, managed occupied Europe since 1945. Extremism means to
destroy a country ethnically, spiritually, socially, economically, and
financially, by flooding it with extra-European immigrants and placing it under
the yoke of the Stalinist-like so-called 'European Union' and, ultimately, of a
stateless high finance. To expel massively extra-European immigrants, whether
legal or illegal, is an absolute precondition for the survival of the country,
and, for that matter, for the survival of any European country currently plagued
by mass immigration and by the political schemers who implement it in accordance
with the aggressive globalist ideology upheld by their `unknown superiors'. It
goes without saying that such measure could only be taken and implemented by a
nationalist organisation of a restorative character, once in power, and it is
equally clear that the coming to power of a similar organisation by democratic
means is wishful thinking.
Chrysi Avgi is confined to neighbourhood actions, which they seem to carry out
efficiently. Their leaders and militants set journalists and political schemers
straight. Pending possible additional information about their approach to J.
Evola, that's all we can say on the subject at this time.

Contrary to the various assertions of the cosmopolitan medias, the Golden Dawn
logo is not a swastika, but the traditional greek meander - moreover, every
member of this forum obviously know that the raised-arm salute was not coined by
"nazis" but dates back to the earlier Antiquity. Although this movement is
seemingly far from being hostile to Adolf Hitler, the German Reich and its
Weltanschauung, Golden Dawn ideological and symbolical universe can not be
reduced to that single historical experiment. Besides, it is a dynamic party
which is not in a logic of folklore and parody like so many sex-shop "nazi"
groups and individuals.It has become worldwide famous after the recent election
of 21 Golden Dawn deputies. They also gained additional media attention after
several polemic statements - one denying the existence, not only of gas chambers
but also of cremation ovens (that implies a certain lack of information on the
revisionist thesis) and another one proposing to put anti-personnel mines
accross the border with Turkey. They are also reputed for their proximity
actions in favor of security, consisting in getting the streets rid of the
insecurity by the means of violence and providing free bodyguarding services to
elderly people who might want, for instance, to withdraw some money from their
bank account.

as has been said, on the book list. Condemnation of modernity and of "the modern

They also accept that "nationalism is the only absolute and real revolution
because it seeks the birth of new ethical, spiritual, social and psychic
values." We learn that the Golden Dawn's Youth Movement "is not a simple
political formation, and requires of members a particular way of life based on
honor, morality and virtue."
