Julius Evola's 15 Principles of the True State

What is Evola's political theory? What allows him to criticize both Nazism and Fascism "from the right"? What principles does he think the True State should embody? That's what we go over in this video, brought to you by MillermanSchool.com. By the way, I've started to experiment with my lighting a bit. I'll get it right soon but my apologies if this is too (insert critical criterion here) for your liking. Thanks for watching!

This channel is criminally underrated.

[@JoeSims1776]

Eh.. it needs more subway surfers or family guy clips

[@lyssp.hacker3948]

We can say that these were Evola's principles, but it is important to say that he presented them primarily as immutable principles which are known as Tradition. In practice only if these principles can be implemented it is possible to have really working social system.

[@nachtwandeling1237]

The lighting is very True and Organic! This is a good summary of Evola's ideas. This will help explaining it to other people that are also fed up with the liberal democratic order. Well done.

[@thelordofgifts5343]

You have a beautiful channel thanks brother please keep it up. Astute mind and sober analysis

[@oxstone341]

I think you're content is under appreciated.

[@tungthanasin]

Man, I just came from Libertarians Thai Community and they recommend me bout Julius Evola So I found your channel that talked about bitcoin,sovereign individual and Nietzsche I really enjoy it so much even if my english skill is not so good enough. Hope your channel got a English sub so I can use auto translate to get your communicate for more. Thanks for your great work I have followed you on Twitter already.

[@SanguineUltima]

They say a strong marker of intelligence is being able to compress complex or difficult ideas into something easy to understand, and you most certainly have this ability. Great video as always!

[@kenobi4582]

Will watch it at my lunch break

[@billschwandt1]

I like the new opening.

[@kshitijshekhar1144]

God damn, just found my spirit animal. Julius Evola is the man.

[@MegaFount]

First there was Tea for the Tillerman, then there was Evola for the Millerman.

Evola and the Bunnymen

[@watk0084]

My favorite work out listen. Thanks again, Michael!

One of the great great although massively underrated 20th century authors CJ Cherry wrote eloquently of precisely this kind of system in the Forgienger Series . Although possibly not her masterwork this 20 volume series is truly great litterature. Cherrys lifelong and brilliant exploration of culture worked gradually toward a total political theory. To my astonishment it appears to be spot on with Evola Amazing. Perhaps Cherry knew the work of Evola but I suspect not. Truth is truth. Her work is astonishing brilliant and inexplicably comprehensive. To do a quick summery of anyone in a youtube segment is not really going to flesh out a subtle and sophisticated thesis. but kudos to Millerman for trying. Cherry brings it vividly and immediately to life. She breaths life into it. I have not read Evola (yet )but because of Cherry this fairly dry academic analysis ( what else could it be ) is explosive and vital. It is incredibly rare that fiction captures such complex thinking. but I think I am right about this. Cherry nails it utterly .

Buddhism saved Evola from suicide, he said. Shambhala was his ideal, based in Tibet physically but everywhere, cosmically.

[@popps33]

This is telling because based on this video. His Ideal is Tibet with the head of state as Dalaï lama

[@j.hmarvelous2231]

Wow, great content. I appreciate your intellect and humbleness. Keep up the great content. What Evola books would you suggest? 🙏🏾👍🏽

[@notzion]

Incredibly informative thx

[@TheronGBurrough]

I'm interested in Evola's view of self-development and hadn't looked at his views on the State. This video seems quite good to me, haven't finished it. Evola seems to describe a lot of things people might do as a society with or without a State, in forming their natural group of people. America as a State means people of one custom can impose themselves on people of an opposite custom. And most obnoxious of all, you are born the chattel of every other who can vote on your life, including new people you have never met. When Americans have discussed wars and laws, we did so out of natural respect for our fellow people. At this point, I see the process is irrational, that people, their loyalty and their comprehension are unreliable, and that no one is rightly born subject to the dictates of people not known to them. "We're going to vote on who tells us what to do" is slavery.

[@CalebThornhill]

Michael, the lighting is a bit too stark Make it more mellow Absolutely excellent content; outstanding teaching

[@jeupater1429]

Opening song is dynamite

[@millerman]

It's Liam Gallagher Diamond in the Dark. I can't monetize my videos with ads because I am using copyrighted music but I don't care (For now) because it is such a banger.

[@kenobi4582]

What country do you feel has the closest to a true state? Singapore?

[@popps33]

Before China took over, I believe it was Tibet.

[@shanonsnyder9450]

Unless I’m misunderstanding how Evola is using the term “state”, opposing totalitarianism seems contradictory to the notion that the state precedes all other natural attachments. It completely undermines the proposition of a transcendent monarchy, since the state is anything but transcendent but entirely historically contingent.

[@WattisWatts]

Create situations and conflicts where the dictator is given absolute power.

[@shanonsnyder9450]

Furthermore a dictator is not going to share power with a monarchy (and certainly not lords or aristocrats.) That would be a very stupid dictator.

[@bensanderson7144]

This channel is basically what a normal university experience was up until the 1960’s.

[@millerman]

As is millermanschool.com

[@smallscreentv1204]

Another problem with monarchy is that children of great men rarely become great. Why? It is paradoxical. The children have every reason to be great, resources, access to the great leader etc, excellent education, travel and so on. But, they just don’t become great. During Rome’s rise they realised this genetic flaw and so initiated a principle of adoption. Ie, they found another non genetically related person who had superior characteristics and groomed them for leadership. Rome’s decline arguably began when Rome broke with tradition and granted leadership to Marcus Aurelius’ sin Commodos. And it all went downhill from there because of this genetic flaw.

[@MadeAnAccountOnlyToReplyToThis]

They don't need to be great, the point of a monarchy is a natural, organic system of governance based upon the family, begetting stability. I don't necessarily disagree with you, though.

[@johnodonoghue651]

Thanks for this summary. Evola sounds delusional, but interesting as an academic exercise.

[@nguyenhieu6031]

So… Evola’s ideal state is a decentralized monarchial state? Like medieval Europe? I wonder how he could feed an entire nation with this type of state

[@aaronfire359]

I disagree with Evola slightly on point 7. I think institutions like Parliament, or the Reichstag, or the Estates General are fine to have, if anything they help the bottle let out some steam so it won't explode; but they should be consultative assemblies only, not legislative or executive assemblies.

[@mikecook7334]

No fan of racial biology or organization by haplogroup…

[@thadtuiol1717]

So many idiots in DR circles overlook this about Evola or are just plain ignorant of it.

[@cdcaleo]

Unfortunately for you, every human group that exists now, and that we have any historical evidence for, organizes themselves on some version of biological/genetic similarity.

[@noobzie8963]

​@@thadtuiol1717 What do you mean?

[@ayyleeuz4892]

evola was not exactly principally against democracy and socialism he was principally for elitism. happily use democracy and socialism as a vehicle for whatever

[@amodernpolemic]

If he said nothing else, his thoughts against economism would remain absolutely essential. The most important thing we could do is understand that organizing society around economics is doomed--ugly and insipid organizing principles of Philistines!

[@KRGruner]

Summary: Evola was a fool with no understanding of human nature.
