Carlos, I haven´t read Evola´s book - on this side I can tell you
nothing. Which are Evola´s tactics against "modern world"?.

About the references where EJ suggest to avoid this kind of
fighting, I think there are many. I think Eumeswill is entirely about
this subject. He, as Rene explained, saw perfectly the only winner
would be the arbeiter (modern world, if you prefer).

Obviously EJ take this lesson in the first war. Let me explain.
There were the french "combatants", with their famous "elan",
english warriors with their traditional "cool blood", german warriors
with their great energy, and all the rest with their specific values.
Neither frenchs, germans, english, russians, with all their great
spirit and culture... did can trespassing the Death-Line (or in
Umberto words: la regione di fuoco). Nobody did it, Carlos, just
nobody. There was, despiting all the spirit one can own, no way to
go across the Killing Zone... we should learn that lesson, Carlos,
and never forget it (despiting all antropocentric utopies about the
spirit like: "el trionfo dalla volontá").

We are in front of elementary forces, a great spirit would colaborate
with them, offer a direct confrontation is just the mark of lower
spirits (we don´t need to name them).This "titanic modern world"
feeds from the elements, offer a "direct confrontation" just only
fatten Technology( see René mail).

We shall fall back to "the woods" and wait for better times
(oportunities). In the mean while, Rene´s basis: cui bono?

Carlos, hope I have explained myself more or less:-)
Waiting for your tactical contra-analysis.
Best regards
roberto
