Which one of his works is this? I just got "The Reign of Quantity" and am very curious to finish my current read so I can start it properly. The man of quantity versus the man of quality was the concept I took the most away from Evola, and so I've been quite looking forward to Guenon.
I like the way he phrased it, democracy is literally a word meant to mislead us, that never made any sense. It was always about diffusion of responsibility and ownership so that no one outside of the rulers knows how anything works or who to blame for what. You feel anger at the state of your society, well, thanks to the trick of democracy(TM) most people who even come to this realization will turn their ire inwards or at their fellow citizen and blame "voting" instead of looking to the generation spanning institutions which manufacture our opinions in general, and especially on what to vote for and how.
