Welcome back to Boundless and Bottomless Seas. In this episode, we finally cross the finish line of Alexander Dugin's infamous text, The Fourth Political Theory. While Dugin frames himself as the ultimate adversary to Western postmodernism, a close, line-by-line reading reveals a wild, contradictory smoothie of ideas. We put it all in the blender: Soviet Marxism, radical traditionalism, Carl Schmitt's friend-enemy distinction, a heavy dose of Martin Heidegger, and a few tablespoons of pure Infowars-level internet mysticism. We dive deep into the messy world of his conflicting translations and the obscure concepts found in his appendices: Political Post-Anthropology: How the shift from a "political subject" to mere "political identification" has reduced modern politics to passive fandom and LARPing. The Metaphysics of Chaos vs. Logos: Dugin's bizarre, quasi-Gnostic argument that "Logos" has expired and that humanity's only savior is an embrace of "pre-ontological chaos." The Cult Bullshit Filter: We analyze why his philosophy reads less like a coherent geopolitical strategy and more like an intellectual trap designed to turn 1990s English majors into reactionaries. We wrap up our thoughts on Dugin and preview what's next on our summer reading list as we shift gears toward American conservative fusionism, movement conservatism, and eating our vegetables with Russell Kirk and Leo Strauss.   Dugin, Alexander (2012).

In plaats van te proberen instellingen in het leven te roepen die door middel van zogenaamde “onpartijdige” procedures alle conflicterende belangen en waarden zouden verzoenen, zouden democratische theoretici en politici zich moeten richten op de vorming van een levendige “agonistische” publieke sfeer van geschil waar verschillende hegemoniale politieke projecten tegenover elkaar kunnen worden geplaatst. Dit is naar mijn mening het sine qua non voor een effectieve uitoefening van de democratie” Op deze manier drukte de hedendaagse Belgische filosoof Chantal Mouffe uit dat conflict niet een bewijs is van het falen van de democratie, maar juist de motor. Waarom is volgens Mouffe de liberale droom eigenlijk een nachtmerrie?Hoe lijkt haar denken over wij-zij op dat van Carl Schmitt, maar verschilt het uiteindelijk toch fundamenteel?Waarom moet de democratie meer op Feyenoord – Ajax gaan lijken? Te gast is Marthe Kerkwijk De denker die centraal staat: Mouffe

O militante que exige do Estado um certificado de quem ele é talvez seja o súdito mais fiel que esse poder já teve. Neste episódio mostro como a demanda por reconhecimento coroa, no mesmo gesto, a autoridade que diz combater.A leitura passa pelos quatro discursos de Lacan - o do mestre, que nomeia e fixa; o da universidade, a burocracia que cataloga identidades a serviço de um senhor que nunca aparece; o da histérica, em que a própria revolta entroniza o mestre que interroga; e o do analista, a única saída em aberto. Žižek entra com a crítica à política de reconhecimento e ao "Outro descafeinado", e Hegel, Wendy Brown e Carl Schmitt ajudam a fechar o argumento. No centro, uma pergunta que atravessa todo o episódio: e se a revolta de verdade começasse no instante em que você para de pedir ao poder a verdade sobre quem você é?

Carlo Galli"Necessità della politica"Raffaello Cortina Editorewww.raffaellocortina.itLa politica può essere un male necessario, ma anche un dovere, un'assunzione di responsabilità. Il concetto di politica è sfuggente, poliedrico, sempre in movimento. È una caratteristica essenziale dell'essere umano, che per natura è un “animale politico”, ma al tempo stesso lo precede. La politica è il potere che sempre inerisce alla convivenza umana, ma è anche l'azione che dà ordine al caos e norma un potere altrimenti sregolato, come sforzo intellettualeed esistenziale di dargli un senso, di legittimarlo e anche di sovvertire l'ordine e il dominio. E poiché il potere, con le sue gerarchie, le sue logiche di valore e disvalore, di inclusione ed esclusione, è ineliminabile dalle relazioni umane, la politica è ovunque, anche dove si pensa di poterne fare a meno. È nell'economia, nel diritto, nella scienza, nella religione, nella filosofia. Ovunque c'è potere c'è politica e c'è la possibilità di cambiare le relazioni di potere, di operare per la libertà nella politica – mentre perseguire la libertà dalla politica costituisce un obiettivo irrealizzabile.Attraverso questa originale rilettura dei principali pensatori politici – fra i quali Platone, Paolo di Tarso, Machiavelli, Hobbes, Sade, Marx, Nietzsche, Mosca, Carl Schmitt, Hannah Arendt, Hayek – Carlo Galli analizza come la politica storicamente muti di senso ma resti indispensabile tanto per la vita associata quanto per la piena realizzazione umana, e ridefinisce su queste basi il significato e le interne difficoltà della democrazia contemporanea.Carlo Galli ha insegnato Storia delle dottrine politiche all'Università degli Studi di Bologna e, dal 2013 al 2018, ha fatto parte della Camera dei Deputati. Oltre a svolgere attività scientifica, è opinionista e commentatore politico.

In dieser ersten Folge einer kleinen Ausgeglaubt-Trilogie sprechen Manuel und Stephan über Katastrophenangst und neue Apokalyptik. Wer wissen will, wie über Weltende, Antichrist, Rettung und Untergang gesprochen wird, sollte nicht zuerst in dogmatische Lehrbücher schauen, sondern ins Silicon Valley… Ausgangspunkt ist die Beobachtung: Die Gegenwart denkt sich selbst wieder unter Endzeitdruck. Klimakollaps, Atomkrieg, Pandemie, künstliche Intelligenz, globale Überwachung und zerfallende Demokratien erzeugen eine Atmosphäre permanenter Dringlichkeit. Aber diese neue Apokalyptik ist selten klassisch religiös. Sie fragt nicht zuerst, was Gott verheisst, sondern wer die Katastrophe verhindern kann, wer die Systeme kontrolliert und wer im Ausnahmezustand entscheiden darf. Eine zentrale Figur ist dabei Peter Thiel. Der Tech-Investor spricht über den Antichristen, über René Girard, Carl Schmitt, den Weltstaat und die Gefahr globaler Gleichschaltung. Das klingt zunächst bizarr, berührt aber eine reale Frage: Was geschieht, wenn Menschen aus Angst vor Katastrophen bereit werden, Freiheit gegen Sicherheit einzutauschen? Und was passiert, wenn Rettung nur noch als Kontrolle denkbar ist? Manuel und Stephan diskutieren, warum Thiels Warnung vor totaler Verwaltung ernst zu nehmen ist – und warum seine eigenen Antworten trotzdem tief in Kontroll-, Monopol- und Souveränitätsphantasien verstrickt bleiben. Es geht um demokratische Langsamkeit, um die Versuchung des Ausnahmezustands, um Tech-Religion, um politische Theologie und um eine reformierte Eschatologie, die das Ende ernst nimmt, ohne es verfügbar zu machen. Die Pointe: Vielleicht brauchen wir heute nicht weniger Eschatologie, sondern bessere Eschatologie. Eine Hoffnung, die wach bleibt, aber nicht panisch wird. Eine Sprache für Gefahr, Gericht und Zukunft, die nicht sofort nach Kontrolle, Machtsteigerung und autoritärer Entscheidung greift. Denn das Letzte kommt – aber es kommt nicht aus unserer Hand. Im Hallelujah verrät Manu ausserdem, dass er einen wirklich fesselnden Kinobesuch erlebt hat. Und im Stossgebet muss Stephan bekennen, dass er am Backofen versagt hat. Eine Folge über Tech-Apokalyptik, Katastrophenangst, Peter Thiel, reformierte Hoffnung – und ein Lob auf die Langsamkeit.

Mencionar siquiera a Carl Schmitt es, para muchos, adentrarse en territorio prohibido. Pero, hoy, las herramientas analíticas del jurista de Plettenberg son más necesarias que nunca para entender un mundo donde las costuras del orden liberal crujen bajo el peso de la realidad. Mientras la corrección política intenta reducir la gestión pública a una mera administración de recursos, Schmitt nos recuerda que el corazón de la política late en la distinción entre amigo y enemigo, que la soberanía la tiene aquel que puede declarar el estado de excepción, y que ignorar estas verdades no conduce a la paz social, sino a la vulnerabilidad ante quienes sí están dispuestos a ejercer el poder. Hoy diseccionamos la "Teología Política" de Schmitt, que explica por qué nuestras instituciones modernas no son más que conceptos religiosos secularizados. Veremos si es cierto que el "Nomos de la Tierra" ha saltado por los aires, si la la moralización de la guerra ha reventado el mito de la paz perpetua. Para guiarnos por este laberinto intelectual contamos con Jerónimo Molina, Decano de la Facultad de Trabajo Social de la Universidad de Murcia, académico de la Real Academia de Ciencias Morales y Políticas y autor de 'Contra el mito Carl Schmitt' y 'Los enemigos de España son mis enemigos: bibliografía panhispánica de Carl Schmitt'. Molina es, sin duda, la voz más autorizada en España para desgranar el legado del alemán, habiendo dedicado gran parte de su labor investigadora al análisis del realismo político. Su conocimiento nos permitirá separar el grano de la paja y entender por qué, décadas después de su muerte, Schmitt sigue siendo el invitado de piedra en todos los debates sobre el futuro de Occidente.

Aan de hand van het werk van Carl Schmitt belichten we de lacunes van het liberalisme.Carl Schmitt (1888 – 1985) was de geniale rechtsgeleerde die met juridische middelen in 1933 hielp de Duitse democratie af te schaffen.

Dans cet épisode d'Esprits Libres, David Abiker reçoit Cécile Cornudet, éditorialiste aux Échos, et Jean-François Colosimo, théologien et essayiste, pour une discussion passionnante autour de la figure de l'antéchrist et de la stratégie politique de Jean-Luc Mélenchon.Tout commence avec une analyse approfondie de la pensée de Peter Thiel, l'entrepreneur milliardaire de la Silicon Valley, qui puise son inspiration dans les écrits de l'anthropologue René Girard et du juriste allemand Carl Schmitt. Selon Jean-François Colosimo, Thiel développe une forme de « gnose » transhumaniste, où l'homme augmenté est vu comme l'avenir de l'Occident. Cette vision s'apparente à une forme d'« antéchrist », en ce sens qu'elle se présente comme une alternative au Christ et au règne de Dieu sur Terre.La discussion se tourne ensuite vers la figure de Jean-Luc Mélenchon. Cécile Cornudet explique comment Mélenchon a réussi à mobiliser une frange de la population, notamment les jeunes et les habitants des quartiers, grâce à un discours radical et excessif, qui fait écho à un certain rejet du politique. Malgré les controverses et les violences, cette stratégie semble porter ses fruits, permettant à Mélenchon de progresser dans certaines villes lors des élections municipales.Les invités analysent en détail le phénomène, soulignant que Mélenchon cible délibérément l'électorat musulman en se faisant le défenseur de la cause palestinienne. Ils évoquent également la « lepénisation » puis la « trumpisation » de Mélenchon, qui emprunte des méthodes similaires à celles de Marine Le Pen et de Donald Trump pour séduire un électorat en quête de rupture.La discussion s'élargit ensuite à la situation de la droite française, qui peine à produire un discours alternatif face à la montée du Rassemblement National. Cécile Cornudet et Jean-François Colosimo s'interrogent sur l'avenir du parti Renaissance, créé par Emmanuel Macron, et sur la possibilité d'une candidature de centre-droit capable de s'imposer face aux forces de Mélenchon et du Rassemblement National.Hébergé par Audiomeans.

Carlo Altini"Thomas Hobbes. Elementi di legge naturale e politica"Olschki Editorewww.olschki.itQuesta opera di Hobbes costituisce il primo laboratorio sistematico della sua filosofia. Lo scopo è chiaro: individuare un fondamento razionale per la conoscenza non solo della natura, ma anche della politica. Qui la lezione di Galileo fonda l'intera scena teorica: la dimensione materialistico-meccanicistica propria della nuova scienza naturale permea l'universo hobbesiano nella sua totalità, in polemica con Aristotele e la Scolastica, giungendo a delineare un quadro organico dei rapporti tra filosofia naturale e filosofia morale, tra scienza e politica, tra antropologia e psicologia che sarà decisivo per l'impalcatura del pensiero moderno.Thomas Hobbes (1588-1679) è uno dei più grandi pensatori dell'epoca moderna. Nato nel Wiltshire, nel sud-ovest dell'Inghilterra, compie i suoi studi a Oxford, ma non intraprende la carriera universitaria; grazie al suo ruolo di precettore presso la famiglia Cavendish ha comunque la possibilità di accedere a un patrimonio librario di prim'ordine e di compiere numerosi viaggi nel continente, entrando in contatto con importanti intellettuali dell'epoca, come Galilei, Descartes, Mersenne, Boyle, Spinoza, Bramhall e Wallis.L'opera che lo rende noto in tutta Europa come pensatore eterodosso è il De cive (1642), ma sarà il Leviathan, pubblicato nel 1651, a conferirgli l'immortalità.Sua massima aspirazione è la composizione di un sistema filosofico radicalmente antiaristotelico, in grado di tenere insieme teologia, filosofia prima, filosofia naturale, antropologia e filosofia civile: esso prenderà forma nel 1655 con il De corpore e, nel 1658, con il De homine, i quali, insieme al De cive, costituiscono i suoi Elementa philosophiae.“Archivio Thomas Hobbes. Testi e Studi” nasce con due intenti reciprocamente in dialogo. Il primo, di taglio storico-filosofico, mira a presentare una prospettiva critica e aggiornata sull'opera di Hobbes e sulla sua ricezione: in un'ottica di rigore scientifico, la collana ospita nuove traduzioni dei testi hobbesiani e dei suoi principali interpreti, corredate da un ampio apparato critico e bibliografico, con l'intento di offrire sia edizioni di saggi mai tradotti, sia nuove edizioni di opere già presenti in Italia, ma ormai datate e di difficile reperibilità. Il secondo intento, di matrice filosofico-politica, mira a individuare nel pensiero di Hobbes uno snodo fondamentale per la comprensione della modernità, dalle sue origini alla sua crisi, nei suoi vari aspetti metafisici, scientifici, antropologici, religiosi e politici. L'intreccio tra le due prospettive produce un contributo di riflessione storico-critica in grado di illuminare alcuni caratteri della nostra contemporaneità – dalle relazioni di potere nello spazio globale al ruolo dell'umano nell'era del digitale – sulla cui interpretazione possono avere ancora presa, per similitudine o per differenza, le categorie filosofiche moderne, notevolmente modellate da Hobbes.Carlo Altini è professore ordinario di Storia della filosofia nell'Università di Modena e Reggio Emilia, direttore del Convegno nazionale dei dottorati di ricerca in filosofia e componente della direzione della rivista «Filosofia politica». Nelle sue ricerche si è occupato delle origini, degli sviluppi e della crisi della modernità filosofica e politica, ricostruendo la storia e la teoria di alcuni concetti (progresso, utopia, democrazia, sovranità, potenza/potere, guerra/pace) e analizzando il contributo di alcuni pensatori moderni e contemporanei (tra cui Machiavelli, Hobbes, Harrington, Spinoza, Clausewitz, Carl Schmitt, Karl Löwith, Gershom Scholem e Leo Strauss, di cui è uno dei maggiori specialisti a livello internazionale).Diventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarehttps://ilpostodelleparole.it/

Forced "Friendship" Under the Friend-Enemy Distinction

New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 147 The friend-enemy distinction, as it is called, is the underlying organizational principle of the Marxist Left, radical Islam, and the Fascist Reactionary Left (usually mislabeled "Right"). It is spelled out in detail in a 1932 book by Carl Schmitt called The Concept of the Political, (https://amzn.to/4rbQpFN) and in that book Schmitt goes into great detail to explain what is meant by the term "enemies." He gives much less clear attention to the opposing term "friends," in his fundamental construction. So who are the friends in the friend-enemy distinction? Friends are those who will join with you to fight the enemy, who has been declared by the leader (or Führer). In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay exposes this ugly fact about the "friendship" (or, allyship) in the friend-enemy distinction and reveals that it is the root of authoritarian and totalitarian thinking. Join him to learn why this concept is so evil. Latest from New Discourses Press!

Trump's State of the Union and Marco Rubio's speech at the Munich Security Conference reveal a sweeping — and deeply troubling — vision for American foreign policy. Historian Gerald Horne (University of Houston) and journalist Jonathan Katz (The Gangsters of Capitalism) join Paul Jay to break it down.What emerges is less a foreign policy than a neo-colonial project: regime change in Iran, Venezuela, and Cuba; a reordering of Europe under American dominance; and an ideology rooted in Christian civilization, white supremacy, and the Nazi theorist Carl Schmitt's concept of Grossraum — the world divided into spheres where great powers do as they please.Katz decodes the fascist dog whistles embedded in Trump's speech — including a number that traces directly to Nazi message boards — while Horne connects Rubio's Munich address to a broader rollback of the anti-colonial gains of the post-WWII era and the civil rights movement at home.Is this the return of unapologetic imperialism — a neocon project stripped of any pretense of democracy and freedom? And what does Trump's self-styled role as “king of the world” through the so-called Board of Peace mean for the United Nations and global governance?

Keen On Democracy
Yes, It's Fascism: Jon Rauch on Trump and the F Word

"You either need to call it fascism or you need to invent a new word with more or less the same meaning." — Jonathan RauchJonathan Rauch's viral Atlantic essay has reignited the debate over what to call the Trump administration. Having previously settled on "semi-fascist," Rauch now argues that Trump ticks all 18 boxes on his checklist of fascist characteristics — from the glorification of violence and territorial ambitions to Carl Schmitt's philosophy of "enemies, not adversaries." We spar over whether the term obscures more than it reveals: Is this really fascism, or just authoritarianism with American characteristics? The conversation sharpens around Minneapolis, where citizens were shot face down, and the government initially denied it happened. You don't do that to win votes, Rauch argues — you do it because you believe that's how the social contract should work. He predicts Trump will fail to turn America into a fascist country but warns that institutions like the newly expanded ICE will outlast this administration. About the GuestJonathan Rauch is a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution and a contributing writer for The Atlantic. He is the author of nine books, including The Constitution of Knowledge: A Defense of Truth (2021), Cross Purposes: Christianity's Broken Bargain with Democracy (2025), and Kindly Inquisitors: The New Attacks on Free Thought (1993). He received the 2005 National Magazine Award.ReferencesThinkers discussed:·      Carl Schmitt was a Nazi political theorist whose "friend-enemy distinction" argued that politics is fundamentally about identifying and crushing enemies, not managing disagreements with adversaries.·      George Orwell wrote in his 1946 essay "Politics and the English Language" that "the word 'fascism' has now no meaning except insofar as it signifies something not desirable."·      Hannah Arendt was a German-American political theorist and refugee from Nazi Germany whose book The Origins of Totalitarianism examined both Nazism and Stalinism, preferring "totalitarianism" to "fascism" as the more encompassing term.Historical figures:·      Benito Mussolini invented the term "fascism" (from the Latin fasces, a bundle of rods symbolizing collective strength) and ruled Italy as dictator from 1922 to 1943.·      Francisco Franco ruled Spain from 1939 to 1975. Whether he was truly a fascist or merely an authoritarian remains debated; he never got along well with Hitler and outlasted the fascist era by three decades.·      Viktor Orbán is the prime minister of Hungary whose systematic capture of media, courts, and civil society has become known as the "Orbán playbook" — a template Rauch argues the Trump administration is following.Contemporary figures mentioned:·      Stephen Miller is a senior advisor to Trump who declared that "force is the iron law of the world" and told progressives "you are nothing" at a memorial service where the widow of the deceased had just offered Christian forgiveness to an assassin.·      Russell Vought is the director of the Office of Management and Budget, identified by Rauch as one of the younger ideologues building Trumpism into something more like a coherent ideology.·      Chris Rufo is a conservative activist and culture war strategist who has employed what Rauch calls "revolutionary language" in his campaigns against universities and public institutions.Essays and books mentioned:·      "Politics and the English Language" (1946) is Orwell's essay arguing that the corruption of language enables the corruption of politics, and that vague or meaningless words like "fascism" make clear thinking impossible.·      The Origins of Totalitarianism (1951) is Hannah Arendt's study of Nazism and Stalinism as parallel forms of total domination, examining how mass movements, propaganda, and terror enable regimes to control entire societies.About Keen On AmericaNobody asks more awkward questions than the Anglo-American writer and filmmaker Andrew Keen.

To unlock the whole thing you can sign up on patreon and access the entire archive of episodes and series. ##Original episode notes ##We are back with another installment of our ongoing series Fourth Reich Political Theology with Marcus from the Return of the Repressed podcast. Recall that in our opening salvo of this series, we laid the foundation for our excavation by exploring how the superstitious religious worldview of the feudal world order was superimposed onto the capitalist world order with “The Market” playing the role of God. The same way that serfs and peasants lived their lives in awe and default belief of a vengeful deity, we today implicitly believe in the mysterious market forces we are told move the earthly cosmos beyond the will of man.This episode picks up right where we left off, expanding outwards on what we covered in part 1 to reach beyond the “earthly philosophers” of bourgeois political economy (Smith, Bentham, et al.), to the German Idealists from Kant to the so-called neo-Kantains, to the early sociologists, to the man of the hour himself, Carl Schmitt. In our journey, we draw heavily on Georg Lukacs “The Destruction of Reason” to trace the thread of irrationalism through all liberal political philosophizing. Lukacs and Schmitt see eye to eye when it comes to the hypocrisy and incoherence of Western bourgeois liberal democracy. After all, rule of by and for the bourgeoisie–and the exploitation and domination of the proletariat that entails–cannot really pursue the objectives of liberté, egalité, and fraternité. That would destroy the special privileges enjoyed by the ruling class. But from the same observation, Schmitt and Lukacs proceed in polar opposite directions. Schmitt would strip back the pretense of institutional norms in favor of the rule of raw power, which he supported in his advocacy for and membership in the Nazi party. Lukacs, good Marxist that he was, would instead expose the exploitive nature of the state and the society and, developing class consciousness through praxis, expropriate the ruling class in favor of the dictatorship of the proletariat. It's another incredible conversation with Marcus, and one that has real practical implications for today when we once again find ourselves in what Schmitt called “the state of exception” where the sovereign alone makes the rules…Return of the Repressed Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/cw/TheReturnOfTheRepressedFourth Reich Archaeology Patreon: patreon.com/fourthreicharchaeology

Wer braucht schon „In Stahlgewittern“ von Ernst Jünger, wenn es „Die Biene Maja und ihre Abenteuer“ von Waldemar Bonsels gibt? 1912 erschien der Roman, auf den in den 1970er-Jahren die berühmte Zeichentrickserie aufbaute. Der Bestseller hatte jedoch einen sehr anderen Ton als die Serie: Wir haben es mit einem Roman zu tun, der Kriegstüchtigkeit und Wehrfähigkeit propagiert, der die jungen Leser auf Opfertod und Heldenhaftigkeit eichen will.Die Protagonistin Maja erscheint zunächst als eine Individualistin, die sich nicht der Ordnung des Bienenstocks unterwerfen möchte. Stattdessen will sie die Welt und die Menschen kennenlernen. Als jedoch Gefahr durch die Hornissen droht, unterwirft sich Maja ganz und gar dem Staat. Was zehn Jahre später bei Ernst Jünger zu lesen und von Carl Schmitt theoretisch ausformuliert wird, hat Waldermar Bonsels bereits für ein junges Publikum antizipiert.In der neuen Folge von „Wohlstand für Alle“-Literatur sprechen Ole Nymoen und Wolfgang M.

Most people, even on the Left, only know fragments of Italy's "Years of Lead." This episode pulls the whole picture into focus: the mass worker upsurge after the boom years, the 1969 Piazza Fontana bombing and the death of Giuseppe Pinelli, the rise of the Red Brigades, the kidnapping and execution of Aldo Moro, and the 1980 Bologna massacre. Alyson and Breht trace how far-right stragismo (mass bombings) intersected with far-left clandestinism, and how segments of the deep state, intelligence services, and the Cold War Gladio architecture shaped a strategy of tension that isolated social movements, kept the socialist and communist left from power, and cleared the way for the establishment of neoliberalism in Italy and beyond. Alyson and Breht then discuss what lessons we can learn from this history and if there are any similarities to the contemporary United States.   Clips for this episode are pulled from this YT documentary HERE Check out our episode on the Italian fascist Julius Evola HERE Check out our episode on Carl Schmitt's Concept of the Political HERE   ---------------------------------------------------- Support Rev Left and get access to bonus episodes: www.patreon.com/revleftradio Make a one-time donation to Rev Left at BuyMeACoffee.com/revleftradio Follow, Subscribe, & Learn more about Rev Left Radio https://revleftradio.com/

This episode pulls the whole picture into focus: the mass worker upsurge after the boom years, the 1969 Piazza Fontana bombing and the death of Giuseppe Pinelli, the rise of the Red Brigades, the kidnapping and execution of Aldo Moro, and the 1980 Bologna massacre. Alyson and Breht trace how far-right stragismo (mass bombings) intersected with far-left clandestinism, and how segments of the deep state, intelligence services, and the Cold War Gladio architecture shaped a strategy of tension that isolated the movements, kept the socialist and communist left from power, and cleared the way for the establishment of neoliberalism in Italy and beyond. Alyson and Breht then discuss what lessons we can learn from this history and if there are any similarities to the contemporary United States.

The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Ep. 182 What was the underlying structure of politics in the Third Reich, and what bearing did this view of politics have on the unfolding Nazi Experiment? In this episode of the New Discourses Podcast, host James Lindsay continues this sprawling series on Nazism, showing not just that it was a disaster but also why it was a disaster. In this episode, he presents the politics of Carl Schmitt, which informed and meshed with the Nazi totalitarian program at its deepest levels. Lindsay presents some of Schmitt's famous The Concept of the Political (1932) to set the stage and then presents a short essay by Schmitt from 1936 simply titled "Politics" (https://endnotes.org.uk/posts/carl-schmitt-politics-1936) that leaves little doubt that his politics were Nazi politics, and Nazi politics were his politics. The relationship to the politics of Maoism (https://newdiscourses.com/2023/02/woke-mao-and-the-american-cultural-revolution/), discussed elsewhere on the podcast, are also made clear. Join him for this eye-opening look into the Nazi political world, which is particularly alarming given the Woke Right effort to mainstream Schmitt in conservative politics today.

While Peter Thiel obsesses over the Anti-Christ, his company Palantir has been busy building America's Orwellian Big Brother, which began under Trump's first term and was allowed to continue under Biden. Under Trump's second term, Thiel's Palantir has rapidly expanded into nearly every corner of the U.S. government. A recent New York Times investigation detailed how Palantir's data-mining empire powers law enforcement and intelligence agencies to track, profile, and monitor not just criminal networks, but potentially spy on American citizens. Thiel likes to posture as a radical outsider, but through Palantir he's shaping the machinery of the state to establish a tech-backed dictatorship. In Part Two of our conversation with journalist Gil Duran, of the essential Nerd Reich newsletter, we dig into the tech coup, what it means for democracy, and why it matters that a billionaire obsessed with the apocalypse is also building the digital panopticon. We also discuss what happens when Trump dies and MAGA faces a Game of Thrones succession battle? Why don't we have a strong opposition? How do we build one? How do we create real solidarity instead of the weak attempts by some Democratic leaders to “negotiate” with fascists? (There's no negotiating with fascists.)  How do we establish our own fifty year plan to rebuild democracy?  Want to hear Gaslit Nation ad-free?

With Trump's health visibly in decline, attention is shifting to Peter Thiel's invention, JD Vance, who may soon be president. Which means Thiel, a billionaire doomsday prepper who thinks the Anti-Christ is Greta Thunberg, could effectively rule the world. What does Thiel's obsession with the Anti-Christ reveal about how we can resist him? Thiel's worldview isn't just weird Silicon Valley paranoia; it's vintage fascist fan fiction. His ideas trace back to Nazi jurist Carl Schmitt, who justified Hitler's violent purges as necessary for “saving civilization.” Schmitt's argument was simple and horrifying: democracy is too weak, so we need a strongman to suspend the rules. Thiel recycles Schmitt's logic in a twenty-first-century sermon on why democracy itself is the real threat. In Thiel's version, collective action to solve global crises like man-made climate change is the definition of evil. So you know what to do, folks: double down on building collective action. In Part One of our conversation with journalist Gil Duran, of the Nerd Reich newsletter, that tracks Silicon Valley's billionaire Bond villains, we dig into Thiel's apocalyptic delusions, how they shape his politics, and why it's a very big deal that a man this afraid of democracy has his hands in everything from expanding government surveillance to election data. Part Two will be out this Thursday, with a special look at Thiel and Trump's Big Brother–their latest efforts to establish a Chinese-style surveillance state.  Want to hear Gaslit Nation ad-free?

Thiel's perspective on Armageddon, the Antichrist, and the role of innovation in society is examined, alongside his influences from political theorists like Carl Schmitt and Leo Strauss.

On this episode of International Horizons, RBI Acting Director, Eli Karetny talks with Richard Wolin (Distinguished Professor, CUNY Graduate Center) about the intellectual roots of today's anti-liberal right. Tracing a line from Germany's “conservative revolutionaries” (Carl Schmitt, Oswald Spengler, Ernst Jünger, Heidegger) to France's nouvelle droite and “great replacement” rhetoric, Wolin shows how cultural critiques of egalitarianism and “decadence” resurface in contemporary movements—from the manosphere and Bronze Age Pervert to tech-elite flirtations with political theology and the “state of exception.” The conversation connects these currents to U.S. figures like Peter Thiel and JD Vance, exploring why myths of decline, warrior brotherhoods, and friend-enemy politics have regained appeal—and what that means for liberal democracy now.

The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Ep. 176 The Nazi State was a totalitarian state. This, nobody denies. While Adolf Hitler and his Nazi Party associates obviously intended to organize the Nazi State in that way, a thoroughgoing justification was provided by the so-called "Crown Jurist of the Third Reich," Carl Schmitt, who has become popular on the so-called "New Right" (Woke Right). Schmitt resisted the idea of the Nazi movement, despite his political and judicial theories that went on to justify it, but only until Hitler took the Chancellorship in January 1933. Then Schmitt joined and soon after penned an essay, "The Legal Basis for the Total State," to justify Nazi totalitarianism and the Führerprinzip in the "miracle" of legal decisionism (the dictatorial executive making decisions on top of rule of law). In this groundbreaking episode of the New Discourses Podcast, not only does host James Lindsay continue his sprawling series on the "Nazi Experiment," but he also presents this Schmittian essay in English for the first time.
