>""""state""""
"State" is a low IQ word. In the US, the "state" is the federal government and regional government. If you shattered the US into little county-sized communities, the "state" would be the village elders and regional representatives. There is always a "state" because in any community of any size there are people tasked with performing "governmental" functions. "State"-hatred is just a lower resolution version of having contempt for your elders. There are only unjust and just states, the concept of the state itself is not just or unjust, it Is.

Check out his essay Orientations first to get a taste:

(it's also easily googleable if you don't trust this pdf, just use the gornahoor site, but the pdf seems fine to me)

Where to start with Evola depends on your interest and temperament I guess, I know someone who swears by starting with Doctrine of Awakening and one of the rec charts suggested starting with his book on the Grail (pic related) which is not what I would recommend personally. Then some people say Ride the Tiger or Men Among the Ruins, and others say Revolt Against the Modern World. I am even inclined to say start with Path of Cinnabar, his "spiritual autobiography" (a phrase which instantly signals how interesting he is, in my opinion), but then I've seen people say that's the literal last book you should read since it's the culmination of the others or something.

Just give him a fair shake I suppose. I find Revolt interesting but I think it's a certain temperament that finds the solar symbolism and comparative religions stuff interesting as their first intro.

If you want something even more light that you can jump right into, try Eliade too, maybe either Cosmos and History (also called Myth of the Eternal Return, confusingly) or his books on yoga and/or shamanism.

Guenon is good too. Here's the Evola chart, with decent descriptions although I'm personally not sure of the progression.

For the retards who think starting with Revolt is a good idea

Here's the main one

Posting Guenon one momentarily

Evola

>Who is /jeg/ for?

For people that want to discuss ideas of the philospher-magician julian evola and cultivate the aristocracy of the soul.

>was Evola a nazi, pedophilia rapist I've heard some weird things about him

Evola described himself as "beyond facism" mistranslated as super fascist. He believed in living a life beyond material value aimed at a higher purpose as a method of attaining the divine.

>where do I start?

Don't start with Ride the Tiger like i did, it's confusing, it was one of his last books. Start with Men Among the Ruins if you're into "politics". Read Revolt if you are already familiar with the esoteric and if you know what Hyperborea is.

The reading chart is O.K. but in my opinion, reversed. The final redpill is Mystery of the Grail. If you CAN read that book then you are ready to ascend.
