Julius Evola and the greek Golden Dawn   Topic List   < Prev Topic  |  Next Topic >
Reply < Prev Message  | 
The Greek nationalist party "Golden Dawn" (named after a phrase contained in the
Odyssey of Homer) is led by Nikolos Michaloliakos, a former member of an alleged
terrorist group defending the political heritage of Ioannis Metaxas. 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.

It becomes particularly interesting from our point of view when we learn that
Evola seems to be one of their ideological references. We can thus read on the
"traditionalistblog" of Mark Sedgwick
(http://traditionalistblog.blogspot.fr/2012/05/evola-poised-to-enter-greek-parli\
ament.html
) :

" 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 "

" the influence of Evola can also be found, though not so prominently. He is, as
has been said, on the book list. Condemnation of modernity and of "the modern
world" appears in the archive of "ideological texts," and the penultimate (11th)
point to which members commit themselves is to "honor and respect Tradition."
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."

Does any member of this forum know what is their exact relationship to Evola's
work ?
