The thing is that we don't necessarily believe Evola books can change the
world, in the sense of educating a mass of people, like the idea that
publishing the works of Marx for free could produce a spontaneous
revolution. People who want to try and read all Evola books within days of
hearing his name, and if they are unable to get those books handed to them
on a silver platter for free will lose interest, are frankly not the sort of
person who will get much from Evola, except perhaps new buzzwords for use in
WN rhetoric. If people started acting the way you say, books will be free,
and we will also live in the happyland utopia without rules or oppression,
where electricity works by magic, etc etc etc. How nice that sounds, but in
reality everything costs money, and everyone deserves payment for their
work, and Inner Traditions Evola books don't cost very much money.
