Also this plus the French. Although we must remember the *Bavarian* Illuminati were responsible for the Revolution.

>Does India look like a great model that the world should follow?
Back before it was corrupted by Western crapitalism and imperialism, yes (India didn't even need official laws or police to keep order). Nowadays it is a chaotic, bureaucratized, desacralized and materialist nation that is used for cheap labour and goods by Western nations, which has necessarily, and quite obviously, had a corrupting effect on its society.

Also this >>17424083 anon is correct. Marxism is fundamentally materialistic in all of its philosophical presuppositions, which means it is totally unwilling to accept qualitative differentiation between different human types and aims as meaningful, and it can only possibly see the system of material distribution as being meaningful to all human life and society. This is plainly obvious reading any Marxist literature, especially Capital, as the focus is essentially goods, material value, ownership of capital, etc. You admitted it yourself too, it "analyzes material phenomena and tries to synthesize a solution", which is to say it believes the only "solutions" and "problems" can exist according to material phenomena. Ergo, Marxist is fundamentally materialistic (and this can be seen in the ideas of communist utopia, whether or not one considers communism specifically Marxist).

>Marx on the other hand observed the historical tendency towards class abolition, a more egalitarian world with less antagonisms.
Egalitarianism = more alienation for superior individuals, of which there are admittedly fewer. (Think Nietzsche's slaves ruling masters)
Authoritarianism (ie, hierarchy according to spirit) = the potential for either class warfare, or class solidarity. The latter case has been present for most of history up until the rise of the 3rd Estate after the Renaissance, at which point a clear transition from solidarity to warfare occurred, which was eventually intensified by liberal and Marxist class aggravation.
Evola observed the same tendency, except he termed it the law of the "regression of the castes."

That's because you have a gay conception that philosophy or the dogmatic tendencies of philosophers to merely figure it out and infinitely fractalize the universe until everything they do is utterly meaningless; or add too much sentiment and significance to every little thing that they bog themselves down with too much somehow doesn't make that philosophy mostly ultimately useless to anyone.

Contemplation implies a LACK of knowledge, not a surplus of it. Knowledge being a realized attribute. It has a democratic and leveling view of knowledge, that it is all just data that anyone can learn it as long as it's provided to them, and that a person is knowledgeable merely by the ability to make sense of things. Contemplation taking primacy over Action is to make more rope to climb but not having the muscles to climb it, and in case you forgot, some are brave souls and don't even give a shit and just grapple the cliff perfectly fine without the rope whether you'd call them smart or not. Given this, being an unga grunga retard with a predisposition to bravery and duty is a virtue here although it will never make one a genius.

I guess some people just despise their own tendency towards mediocrity in a way that emboldens them to actual be or become better.

Imagine if Jeff Bezos was simply named King of the earth on account of him having the most money, or we elected puppet after puppet by mere virtue of convincing the most retards to vote, this is your modern hellscape you get when you build the world off of philosophy and "enlightenment" instead of being, character and right action.

Imagine not understanding why having a 400lb blob being immobile strapped to a table for the rest of his existence will entirely negate the effect of how ever much steroids you pump into him, meanwhile any simple natural athlete or laborer will be infinitely more adjusted to living and infinitely more preferable. This is again, your contemplation to action.

And the contemplation Evola makes a mend with is because he understands that most of the people who will find his works will be thinker types and that also having a somewhat intellectualized understanding will help them face the modern academics. But the primary intention being that of great action that strengthens and aids the actual cause, not thinking simply to think.

Evolas action after he was bombed by the allies and paralyzed from the waist down was no longer mountaineering or physical fighting, NOR WAS IT sitting in his chair contemplating existence until he "figured another 1 of reality% out!". His action was writing a plethora of books commanding above all else that the reader familiarize themselves with a lifestyle of action if they want to make themselves and their peers truly able to face the scourge of modernity and restore the human condition. He was not a "reactionary philosoher" he was an ACTionary and be believed in ACTualization. And all your over-thinking falls superfluous to the side.
