Gnostic Intel: post #423 — TG.ME

“Dictatorship naturally arises out of democracy, and the most aggravated form of tyranny and slavery out of the most extreme liberty.” — Plato, The Republic Notes: We are often told by our leaders, ‘intellectuals’, and the media that democracy is the pinnacle of civilisation, with liberal democracy being the apex, as Francis Fukuyama famously declared it 'the end of history'. This belief asserts that liberal democracy should be spread globally by its champions. However, from a traditionalist and cyclical perspective, democracy marks the beginning of a decline, ultimately leading to dictatorship and tyranny. Julius Evola’s traditionalist view sees liberalism as a step in this decline, progressing from democracy to socialism, radicalism, and finally to Communism and Bolshevism. Each stage prepares for the next, driven by the same underlying malevolent force. Image: Ruins of a Greek temple at sunset by Zhizhilenko Aleksandr Ivanovich
