Julius Evola as the purest critique of modernity

Defining characteristic of the Right include rejection of social change, egalitarianism, and universalism, and a fixed view of human nature

The European New Right, how it was founded in the late 1960’s as a counter to the New Left, fusing aspects of the New Left with the conservative revolution of the interwar period

The New Right’s critique of political correctness, feminism, and mass immigration as being products of capitalism
