Giulio Cesare Andrea Evola(May 19th 1898 – June 11th 1974), better known as Julius Evola, was a painter and Fascist intellectual who believed in a certain kind of traditionalism. His views on "tradition" were typically couched in old-world European notions of a big state, which is common for those fond of a fascistic big government.
He was an Antisemite, having written an introduction to the Italian translation of The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion.[1] He was also an anti-Christian bigot.[2] He referred to Christianity as a "mystic religion", and what he meant by this was that it was dualistic and infantile, and in his view, a "doctrine for losers".
He was also influenced by the work of Georges Sorel and Sorel's views about the use of myths in mobilizing people to action.[3]
