Georges Eugène Sorel, (1847-1922), was a theorist and father of revolutionary Syndicalism[1] who "was deeply influenced by the Pragmatism of William James.[2] He is sometimes regarded as a philosopher, who wrote the influential tract on Anarcho-syndicalism titled Reflections on Violence. Through his Reflections, Sorel wrote about his ideas about myths and their importance to galvanizing large groups of people to action.[3]
- By marrying James's will to believe with Nietzsche's will to power, Sorel redesigned left-wing revolutionary politics from scientific socialism to a revolutionary religious movement that believed in the utility of the myth of scientific socialism.[2]
Mussolini "stood on Sorel's shoulders"[4] according to author Jonah Goldberg, who noted the influence Sorel had with the Italian Fascist movement. Through is ideals on myth, Sorel was also influential with Julius Evola.
