Julius Evola or Baron Giulio (1898, 1974) was an extremely controversial esotericist, who started as an abstract artist but later did a total reversal of his earlier modernist and futurist views and delved deep into occult traditions including an idiosyncratic form of sex magic and a deep belief in a race of "nordic" people from the North Pole who had a crucial hand in the destruction of Atlantis.
It is hard to speak definitively about his political views if any or especially his aims. Some claim that his exaltation of a "warrior caste" may have influenced fascism and/or nazism in a roundabout way. Others point out that he rejected nationalism philosophically and in general terms.
