From the early interwar years to the height of the so-called ‘Cold War’, Julius Evola penned over thirty incisive articles dissecting the shared materialist foundations of American liberal capitalism and Soviet communism. The Vice gathers these writings into a single volume. Ranging from political propaganda and cultural trends to race and the influence of mass media, Evola offers a sustained critique of modern civilisation through the lens of the ‘Traditionalist’ worldview. His analysis reveals how both systems—despite their apparent opposition—stem from the same egalitarian and centralising impulses.Though the Soviet regime has long since collapsed, its ideological legacy persists in an Americanised Europe under the yoke of the EU.
