The article seems to give a misleading impression of Bachofen's ideas. While it's true that he praised the "Demetrian age," he also held the "Mother Right" to be bloody, vengeful, and superstitious, with patriarchy being the superior stage of human civilization. Evola was certainly not an opponent of Bachofen, he praised him and used Bachofen's terminology for the formulation of his "spiritual races." his main disagreement came from Bachofen's evolutionary view of history, which is overshadowed by the praise he heaped on him.

Just something I feel ought to be addressed. Nyah Scratch (talk) 11:29, 20 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The recent edit seven days ago is extremely biased and opinionated, even going as poor in taste as needlessly bashing the daylight out of Engels. If there is good reason to include critique, it should have explanations and sources, NOT like what that edit consists of. It should be discussed by people more knowledgeable on this topic than I, but it absolutely should never be as it was: completely unacceptable for Wik.ipedia.Pro's standards and integrity. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.18.27.121 (talk) 22:30, 19 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
