Is this better, mate? Most of the archaisms I use are for a reason- because they are concise. "Betimes," for example, is an easier way of saying "before time" or "early."

Spying minds far greater than mine dueling
Is catching bleary forms of angels
Veering or brooding in heavens betimes

(seeing people more intelligent than me is like seeing angels battle in the sky before the end times even arrive)

Now gaining advantage,
Now yielding, afire

(No comment)

Where ambern cataphracts dauntless showed,
The black matte panoplies pyres shone,

(Each side appears menacing in its own right, though there's obviously a good and a bad side)

As one rises, others plummet, dart in breast
When one falls, the others bound from reaching lance
Alien stars eclipsing suns, bechance

(Their battle, and how the suns are the good angels, the alien stars are the bad angels, which eclipse or beat the good angels due to chance)

A storm of wings aclamor,
and flurries of feathers deferréd to dirt,
Which I dejectedly collect and don,
Hoping myself to catch some wind
And rise headlong to meet the fray

(I feel helpless because I have no wings of my own, so I just collect their feathers and hope the wind carries me to the battle.)

It's all a big analogy to people arguing, and how I pick up some of their arguments (feathers) but can't quite get off the ground.

Following Camatte's definition of Nazism I think we would have to assume a shift within anyone trying to reinvigorate fascist ideas, or anything similar. Perhaps this comes down to nothing more than a shift in the idea of the original man (nrx/neoabsolutism etc suggest this comes down to a renaissance/enlightenment revivification rather than Roman). The more passive, even primitivist methods of conflict employed by both the Left and Right suggests this as well, as opposed to the apocalyptically violent situation of the World Wars.
And yet, this could quickly devolve into simultaneous conflicts of total war and localised apocalypse, the Somme next door to forests of the dead hung on pikes. Or the Thirty Years War with semi-automated weapons.

As I said above, this forces an all new conception of humanity and his organising principles, perhaps even at the religious level as we have been seeing for some time. I don't think anyone on the Left or Right is truly prepared for the changes we are about to witness.
There is obviously, if nothing more, a deep feeling that a total undoing of society is necessary. And as I have said elsewhere, we are already seeing the end of the modern period unfolding before our eyes (if we take Schmitt's conception of modernity and law as a foundation).
