Enjoy.

@David Lloyd-Jones:, Evola apparently advocated rape as a part of his sexual magic views:
"Evola was not just a theoretician, he also practiced sexual magic rites himself. There are unmistakable statements from him about the “tantric female sacrifice” and the transformation of sexuality into political power. Like almost no other, the Italian has openly named the events that unfold in the mysteries of the yogis and then confessed to them: “The young woman,” he writes, “who is first ‘demonized’ and then raped, ... is essentially... the basic motif for the higher forms of tantric and Vajrayanic sexual magic” (Evola, 1983, p. 389). In dictators like Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini he saw the precursors of future Maha Siddhas who would one day conquer the world with their magic powers: “The magician, the ruler, the lord”, he proclaims in regard to Tantrism, “that is the type of the culture of the future!” (Evola, 1926, p. 304). He recommends Tantrism as “the way for a Western elite” (Evola, East and West, p. 29)."[1]Gggtt (talk) 07:08, 13 February 2017 (UTC)Reply
Nice folks.
Last I heard of Tantric Elitism was Steve Gaskin maundering on endlessly at the Family Dog on the Great High Way. Of Highway. Your call.
