Steve Bannon, Alexander Dugin, and the Dark Enlightenment
The modern influence of Julius Evola is traced to political figures like Steve Bannon and Russian philosopher Alexander Dugin. Recluse discusses how Evola's elitist, anti-democratic ideas have permeated the "Dark Enlightenment" movement and the alt-right, serving as a blueprint for an initiated elite to reorient society from the top down.
Alt-Right Funding, Robert Mercer and White Ethnostate Ambitions
