Evola, "The White Race", and Ethnic Differentialism

http://thompkins_cariou.tripod.com/id2.html is meant to be an
introduction to the whole of Evola's racial work, and not just
to 'Three Aspects of the Jewish problem'. Instead of asking "how is
one to approach this apparent conflict in Evola between
differentialism and hierarchicalism", those who have read 'The
Problem of the Supremacy of the White Race' may ask themselves how on
earth some people have managed to draw from that essay their
differentialist views, which are simply not present in it, not even
in embryo.

Working on the fact that, to Evola, the conformity or not to one's
own tradition is the only valid criterion of superiority or
inferiority for a given race or people, it follows that 'any race can
only be superior or inferior in relation to itself', they have jumped
to the conclusion that all races are equal, failing to see that that
conception cannot be separated from another one, which complements it
and is more than implicit in Evola's work, according to which races
are hierarchised. "Since the 'heroic race' as such is superior to
the 'telluric race' as such, it follows, for instance, that, if, at a
given point in a given historical cycle, a given relatively
fallen 'heroic race' can be objectively considered as inferior to
a 'telluric race' still consonant with its own traditional form, the
fact is that nevertheless a given 'heroic race' still consonant with
its own archetype will still be objectively superior to a
given 'telluric race' that shows the same degree of purity towards
its own archetype. In short, 'ethnic' differentialism just forgets
about hierarchy, which, whether one likes it or not, exists, and, in
this, it is the victim of modern egalitarian prejudices".

Here, the conflict doesn't lie in Evola's thought, but in the brain
of those who interpret it along their own prejudices. And not only
according to their prejudices, so true it is, to quote freely de
Gobineau, that the more an individual is subject to the influences of
anti-race, the more it is obvious that that individual, having lost
his race, is unable to recognise race in others, in those who still
bear it, and deludes 'himself' in thinking that all races are equal.
Hence, this being said in passing, the complete pointlessness of
trying to tackle the racial question with that kind of individuals,
and, even beyond this, of trying to 'convince' them that they
are 'illusioned' - in quotation marks, since, after all, their
feelings and their impressions about race corresponds to their own
distorted experience of life and of human being.
