Elements of Racial Education -- Chap 15

Chapter 15 is entitled “Race, Romanity and Italian History”. Here, Evola enunciates the principle that “in order to progress form racial theory to practice, one of the fundamental requirements is to recognize precisely the human ideal corresponding to the higher race among those which compose a given nation.”

 

Since the population of nations comprise racial mixtures, “it is necessary to evaluate their various components”. Evola indicates this process involves an “inner, individual on, and a political, collective on.” Interestingly enough, further distancing himself from zoological racism, Evola makes this claim:

 

“Race appears to us essentially as an object of choice, of an election and of a decision.”

 

As should be obvious by this point, Evola’s choice is that the core, or “heart”, of the Italian stock is the Roman element (which position he also ascribes to Mussolini). Evola now needs to draw out the consequences of such a racial consciousness.

 

Although the term “Romanity” was frequently heard in Italy, is meaning was indefinite, so Evola seeks to refine it. He notes, therefore, that even within Romanity, he is interested in the specifically Aryan Romanity characterised by the axe, the eagle, the wolf and other Hyperborean symbols. A proper racial education needs to bring out the distinction between Aryan Romanity and the various divergent strands. By the imperial period, Rome had already begun a decline due to demographic decadence, which Evola goes on to describe.

 

In the Middle Ages, the Church attempted to create a new imperial idea, for which task, however, the Italian peoples were inadequate. This led to the seizure of the medieval imperial function by Germanic peoples, who were able to retain certain qualities of race.

 

Evola claims that the Italian Renaissance, rather than being the rebirth that is often claimed, is actually a fall from Tradition. It led to the Enlightenment and other “phenomena of modern decadence.” Evola even more so deplores the influences of Freemasonry and Jacobinism and the other forces whose intention is to destroy the “hierarchical and aristocratic structure and the feeling of race and tradition.”

 

Evola concludest that there must be a new approach to Italian history which “must determine more and more of our consciousness and of our Aryan racial policy.”
