My new book "War for Eternity" tells the story of my time following and speaking with political thinkers throughout the globe who embrace a bizarre political school called "Traditionalism" (always with a capital T). Chances are you've never encountered it. It comes from a variety of religious teachings, and argues that humanity is in a process of decline marked by increased upheaval and uncertainty, a scrambling of prevailing orders, and the spread of mass, homogenized societies. But Traditionalists also think that history moves in cycles, that chaos and destruction are the last stage before a cataclysmic rebirth into a better world. That means that the insecurity of our age, as they see it, should be welcomed. And whereas in the past Traditionalists were typically operating on the margins of society, it is now represented in positions of formal and informal power throughout the world, among influencers like Steve Bannon in the United States, Aleksandr Dugin in Russia, and Olavo de Carvalho in Brazil. Some of these people are called "fascists" or "Nazis"--my book says those labels don't even get to the heart of it. https://www.harpercollins.com/9780062978455/war-for-eternity/
