Julius Evola

“America ... has created a 'civilization' that represents an exact contradiction of the ancient European tradition. It has introduced the religion of praxis and productivity; it has put the quest for profit, great industrial production, and mechanical, visible, and quantitative achievements over any other interest. It has generated a soulless greatness of a purely technological and collective nature, lacking any background of transcendence, inner light, and true spirituality. America has [built a society where] man becomes a mere instrument of production and material productivity within a conformist social conglomerate”
― Julius Evola

“Es wird nicht mehr die Idee sein, die Wert und Macht einem Individuum gibt, sondern das Individuum, das Wert, Macht und Rechtfertigung einer Idee gibt.”
― Julius Evola
