>What is the position of Guenon, Evola and other esoteric scholars in regards to the rise of fascist and communist ideologies?
Evola: Ultra Fascist
Guenon: Professed apolitical, wanted traditionalist caste society, so still right wing and hierarchical, but against industrialism. Theocratic monarchist brahmanism might get you in. The neighborhood.

>How much attempt is there to reconcile certain aspects of modern life with traditions?
Evola said to ride the tiger.
Guenon moved to egypt and lived as traditional a life as possible.

>Would it be closer, then, to medieval christian thought, such as Augustine or Anselm?
Guenon respected the medieval scholastics, so that would give you an idea. His ide christianity was the catholic church from Charlemagne to the end of the 12th century.

>How much, if any, do the traditionalists focus on morality?
Guenon was against moralism, so you might think of things in terms of virtue and being inline with God.

>How much do they expect out of christian followers, and what do they emphasize in the bible as the proper way of living?
A christian trad would see the bible as the word of god. Catholics believe salvation is based roughly on baptism, eucharist, confession, and refraining from mortal sins.

>Is it more of a catholic perspective which focuses on the deeds of Jesus and his love, charity and humility?
I dont know that this is the only catholic perspective, but a guenonian perspective would be medieval catholic, definitely not protestant. As hardcore catholic as you can think. SSPX and so forth.

>Their theology, judging from the titles of the books, seems to be motivated by a rejection of modernity. What do they find most important to reject in modernity? The obvious answer seems to be the erosion of traditions, but what do they see in this process that is important not to be lost?
True metaphysics, being in touch with primal reality and primordial religion, God, the nondual. Quality is lost to quantity in the modern world.

>How much of it should adapt, and how much should stay the same?
Primordial truth takes on the outward forms of the individual cultures and religions. What must stay the same is the True Metaphysic.

>Or is this "modern" christian esoterism more of a metaphysical theology rather than a social critique? Perhaps both?
Guenonianism is both a metaphysical theology and a social critique of the modern world. This is true of all guenonian trads really.
