I am taking questions about Evola, if anyone is interested. There has been little opportunity to discuss his works on this sub, but I can offer some answers here.

    Fascism was rightist but also modernist, so it had some traditional elements but was not a traditionalist state.

    Evola called himself a superfascist as in he thought fascism was a watered down version of traditionalism with some traditional elements. Thus if it was 'superfascism' it would just be a fully actualised traditionalism, as traditionalism would be hierarchically above fascism according to the orientation of his principles.

    It would be like untermensch, mensch, and ubermensch. Untermensch would be liberalism and communism as degenerate soulless modern states, fascism would be mensch as a man that still has some traditional elements and ubermensch would be the the fully actualised Evolian traditionalist state.

    I disagree with this but this is the kind of model he was working with.
