National-Bolshevism (Evola and Russian Traditionalism)
If I am incorrect, I apologize in advance, but why do you call
Buddhism a
"right-hand path"? If I remember correctly, Buddhism, at least the
original,
Aryan Buddhism which Evola explains in "The Doctrine of Awakening",
would
actually be classified as a "left-hand path" or "dry path" along with
Tantrism-
although the methods used are different, the basic idea is the same.
In the
"right-hand path" the individual relies on deities, imposed morality,
etc. The
"left-hand path", on the other hand, is tread by those who can
support
themselves, who can make their own way. I believe this is explained
as well
in the first volume of "Introduction to Magic".
In the same vein, there are three types of human being who practice
Tantrism
(pashu, virya, divya) corresponding to the three gunas (tamas, rajas,
sattvas).
The pashu (from "pasha", bonds), I believe, follows the "right-hand"
or "wet"
path, while the virya (heroic type) and divya (godly, or what Evola
would call
"Olympian" type) follow the "left-hand" or dry path.
Dugin wrote an essay on the subject which can be found at Arctogaia-
"The
Gnostic". In it, he speaks with great hostility towards those who
follow the
"right-hand path"- which is of course due to a great misunderstanding
on his
part.
It seems to me that the greatest mistake made by the National-Bolsheviks is their confusing of the "irrational" with the "supra-rational". This is the same ...
Surely Dugin is super-talented, like someone said, but also super-acrobatic. It seem to me that he utilize the name of Evola mostly for gaining his ends,...

It remains to see whether or not the respective definition of the 'left-hand path' and of the 'right-hand path' you refer to, and which is closely akin to that...
well, like his master, pootie-poot (see http://oag.ru/library/hodos/js3-32.html ), he aspires to run with the hare and hunt with the hounds, innit? ...

From the viewpoint of the superior castes, probably the differences between the third and the fourth ones were irrelevant. A possibility of a fifth caste is...

Right, you see the isomorphy between Marcuse's analysis of social trends and Evola's, beneath the "change of sign". Now, that article contains also a reference...
Needless to say that Evola himself saw it. He saw that, if the diagnosis made by Marcuse of contemporary world was accurate, the remedies he offered, far from...
