Hello,
He did, in this book which has not been translated into English yet
and which he often quoted during his trial in Rome in 1951, indeed;
and those who are not familiar with the Stoic notion of autarchy may
misinterpret it as a recognition by him of the possible existence of
a multi-racialist elite. The thing is that the men who would be able
to "belong to that country that by no enemy would ever be occupied
nor destroyed" have the same blood and cannot but have the same
blood, for the simple reason that, to rise together to such a level
of potent ataraxia, they must have elective affinities which go far
beyond the mere intellectual, philosophical or sentimental plane,
which is the one on which, by nature, multiracialism and
multiculturalism develops. Resigned or disappointed men could never
reach a higher plane, where the forces of the same stock, more
united, more unitary and more organised than they can be on the
material plane, are at work.
It is difficult to put man at the centre when one has to admit that
there is no more men worth of the name, at least in physical Europe.

P.s.: it would be interesting to get back later on to the reasons why
the word 'race' has almost disappeared from Evola's vocabulary after
WW2.

Probably.

racist, even if my friend Rowan would prefer to apply a more neutral
word; but the self-censorship of the language is not a censorship of
the consciousness?

Obviously he was not speaking of Europe, where we undervalued the
mice in the hold of the ship; and you know the mice are quite
prolific.
