It's not just about Buckley; it's about now, and how Buckleyism is more similar to Trumpism than I initially understood. It's about American conservatism as a whole.For three clips of our convo — Buckley as a humane segregationist, his isolationism even after Pearl Harbor, and getting gay-baited by Gore Vidal — head to our YouTube page.Other topics: me dragging Sam to a drag show in Ptown; the elite upbringing of Buckley during the Depression; his bigoted but charitable dad who struck rich with oil; his Southern mom who birthed a dozen kids; why the polyglot Buckley didn't learn English until age 7; aspiring to be a priest or a pianist; a middle child craving the approval of dad; a poor student at first; his pranks and recklessness; being the big man on campus at Yale; leading the Yale Daily News; skewering liberal profs; his deep Catholicism; God and Man at Yale; Skull and Bones; his stint in the Army; Charles Lindbergh and America First; defending Joe McCarthy until the bitter end and beyond; launching National Review; Joan Didion; Birchers; Brown v.

James Burnham was one of the most significant intellectual influences on the conservative movement of the twentieth century.  As an anti-Communist hardliner, his views on dealing with the Soviet menace head on ultimately shaped US foreign policy in the Reagan administration.  And his work at William F. Buckley's National Review gave the fledgling magazine its foreign policy heft.   Throughout his long public career, there emerged two James Burnhams: one who provided the early scaffolding to neoconservative ideas and the other who inspired paleoconservatives.  Saving Elephants host Josh Lewis is joined by history professor David Byrne to discuss his latest book James Burnham: An Intellectual Biography.   About David Byrne David Byrne is an adjunct professor of history at California Baptist University and Santa Monica College.  He contributes to the blogs The American Thinker and Crisis: A Voice for the Faithful Catholic Laity.  His previous book Ronald Reagan: An Intellectual Biography analyzes the ideas that informed Reagan's political philosophy and policies, establishing a rationale for the former president's motives, and discusses how thinkers such as Plato and Adam Smith influenced him.   Have you heard?  Saving Elephants has joined Substack!

Listen to the rest of this premium episode by subscribing at patreon.com/knowyourenemyThe first three weeks of Donald Trump's second administration have seen a flurry of vicious executive orders aimed at the federal workforce, trans people, government agencies, and others—all while Elon Musk and his deranged band of young sociopaths, otherwise known as the "Department of Government Efficiency," have been set loose on the Treasury's payment system and other key functions of the state. In this episode, we talk with John Ganz to try to make sense of it all: how to avoid getting sucked into the political quicksand of debating conservatives about line items in a budget, what Trump and Musk really want, how "presidential" political systems break down, and, generally, how to think about What's Happening Now.Sources:James Burnham, The Machiavellians: Defenders of Freedom (1943)— The Managerial Revolution: What Is Happening in the World  (1941)George Orwell, "Second Thoughts on James Burnham," Polemic, May 1946John Ganz, "What Happened Here," Unpopular Front, Feb 4, 2024Nathan Tankus, "Elon Musk Wants to Get Operational Control of the Treasury's Payment System," Notes on the Crises, Feb 3, 2024Karen Yourish, et al, "All of the Trump Administration's Major Moves in the First 17 Days," New York Times, Feb 6, 2024Yoni Applebaum, "America's Fragile Constitution," The Atlantic, Oct 2015Eric Rauchway, Why the New Deal Matters (2021)

Get access to The Backroom Exclusive podcasts on Patreon: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/OneDime⁠ In this episode of 1Dime Radio, I am joined by a friend of the show, C. Derick Varn (  @VarnVlog  ), a theorist, writer, and leftist podcast veteran, to discuss the phenomenon of leftists shifting to the right and cases throughout the history of famous right-wingers who were former radical leftists, such as Benito Mussolini and various former Communists turned Fascists. We discuss examples of the infamous "Trotskyist to Neoconservative pipeline," such as Lyndon LaRouche, James Burnham, and Irving Kristol. We speculate about the intellectual, psychological, and social factors behind these political shifts and their relation to the culture of the left. In The Backroom on Patreon, Varn and I go deep into the lore of contemporary examples of famous leftists "leaving the left" as well as the phenomenon of the "post-left" whereby people reject the left-right binary.

Capital, especialmente en la forma de propiedades inmuebles y hasta cierto grado toda acumulación grande de capital, usualmente está atado con el pasado, con la familia, hasta con el domicilio local y la tradición. Por ende el capital, desde la perspectiva de principios liberales, parece más irracional y apunta al pasado que los ingresos, que pueden pensarse como el producto de talento intelectual..." - James Burnham

[originally published on Patreon Nov 17, 2023] Today I'm rejoined by Comrade Chad to discuss post-Trotsky Trotskyism in the US, especially their penchant for attacking communism 'from the left'. Comrade Chad walks us through some of the theory and vocabulary necessary. Then we zero in on James Cannon, Max Schactman and James Burnham in particular. We attempt to explain the theoretical positions this entailed within both Trotskyism. Marxism, and Cold War geopolitics before explaining their actions in the labor movement. Along the way we discuss Farrell Dobbs, Jimmy Hoffa, Joseph Hansen, Burnham's theoretical works, the Congress for Cultural Freedom, and much more. episode art by Robert Voyvodich @r.voy__ Songs: Teamster Power by Tex Williams After You've Gone by the Toshiko Akiyoshi Trio Moiritat (Mack the Knife) by Sonny Rollins

Discussion revolves around PMC's intersection with identity politics, its role in the dissolution of the Democrats' working-class base, and its permeation in academia. In this episode, we dive into the Origins of the PMC and the history of the theory surrounding it. This includes the work of Barbara Ehrenreich, James Burnham, Tomas Frank, Catherine Liu, among others I also express some of my criticisms of PMC discourse and the problem of "class identity politics." There are numerous people who have written about the PMC. Adolph Reed, Catherine Liu, David Graeber, and many more.

We speak about the three eras of the “New Right”: from William F. Buckley and James Burnham to the second “New Right” under Reagan and Thatcher and now the third “New Right” that is taking shape in the wake of the populist revolutions of Trump and Brexit. We also speak about immigration, liberalism as a self-liquefying force, Thatcher's legacy, Brexit, Orban, and much more. John O'Sullivan is a political commentator and journalist. He was the senior policy writer and speechwriter in 10 Downing Street for Margaret Thatcher when she was British prime minister. He is also the former editor of National Review in the years 1988-1997 and is now an editor at large. Since 2017, he has been president of the Danube Institute in Budapest. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/aksubversive/message

In this episode, Alex finally dives into a topic that he has wanted to cover for a long time. He goes into the New Right, how the movement is really based on the Old Right, and why these views not only criticize democracy, but also challenge the underpinnings of our society. Alex goes into the Managerial class critiques from James Burnham, the rantings of Pat Buchanan, the monarchism of Curtis Yarvin, and the blatant neo-fascism and Greek love of the Bronze Age Pervert. Liberal Democracies have not seen a philisophical challege in a long time, and now it seems like the enemy is at the gates. 

「《1984》描繪極權統治下，人性的扭曲嗎？」這是大多數人對這本神作的解讀。本來我也是這麼想。原來早在 1945 年美國在廣島、長崎投下兩枚核彈之後，Orwell 寫了篇「你與原子彈」（You and the Atomic Bomb），預言世界將進一個漫長，而且是「沒有和平的和平時代」（peace that is no peace）。說到這裡，相信大家都會聯想到《1984》裡的一句說話：「戰爭就是和平」（war is peace）。Orwell 寫《1984》，不只針對蘇聯；這本書的預言是：冷戰令世界只剩下幾個超級大國，而全世界人都活在某種扭曲人性的極權。剛才提到「你與原子彈」這篇文當中，有個非常重要的段落，提到社會學家 James Burnham 在 1941 年發表的《管理層革命》（The Managerial Revolution） ，當中是這樣講的：「地球被三大帝國瓜分；每個帝國都自給自足，與相互之間隔絕。寡頭政權，透過不同的政治偽裝延續統治。三大帝國的勢力範圍劃分，將糾纏經年。三大帝國中的第三個，即主導的東亞的中國，卻有些變卦，暫時只是一個可能，未盡成為事實。」… the surface of the earth is being parceled off into three great empires, each self-contained and cut off from contact with the outer world, and each ruled, under one disguise or another, by a self-elected oligarchy. The haggling as to where the frontiers are to be drawn is still going on, and will continue for some years, and the third of the three super-states — East Asia, dominated by China — is still potential rather than actual… 以上三分天下極權世界的預言，不就是《1984》的故事的藍本嗎？但在講為甚麼會出現「三分天下」之前，應該要先講 James Burnham 的《管理革命》。《管理革命》的預言James Burnham 在 1941 年發表的《管理革命》（The Managerial Revolution）可以說是一部承先啟後的政治學著作；Burnham 曾經是托派共產主義的信徒，後來他「皈依」了當時的社會科學，想法更接近韋伯（Max Weber）。Burnham 認為，世界既不會出現無產階級革命，亦不會繼續是真正的資本主義，而是異變成由專家、技術官僚、行政人員等所經營的「管理型社會」。究竟《管理革命》預言了甚麼？內容大概可以歸納成三個重點：一，不論政治抑或市場經濟，都會被一群專家、技術官僚、行政人員所指揮。傳統資本主義，重點是私有產權。但戰後的世界，資本漸漸變成由不真正擁有資本的管理階層所支配；不論是企業管理層，抑或是計劃經濟中的技術官僚，他們的思維模式其實有很多相似之處。政治上，掌握實權的其實也是政府機器中的官僚、幹部。每個人都是機器中的一部分，而且是隨時可以被替換的一部分。二，無處不在的管理形社會：專家的崛起帶來的「管理型社會」是全球化現象，不限於任何一個國家或地區，亦不限文化背景、經濟發展水平或是意識形態。所以，戰後的世界，本質既非資本主義，亦非社會主義：這種「管理型社會」是前所未見的現象。透過權力分配資源，既非純粹的市場或經濟法則，亦不是政治上的理想主義。掌握權力的目的，是要永續管理形社會，讓專家、技術官僚、行政人員永遠地控制著政治和經濟。三，永續的不平等：「管理型社會」不但沒有令人與人之間變得更平等。相反，掌握了知識的專家、技術官僚、行政人員，將建立一個新的社會階級結構，位於頂層的階級，也就是「老大哥」（Big Brother），既不是完全的世襲，但又不是真正的唯才是舉，而是有能力用各種方法控制和改變群眾信念的「話事人」。這樣講，很容易令人聯想到甚麼 Deep State 和陰謀論。其實沒有那麼複雜，只是在不同的時空，一樣是少數人統治多數人，只不過用的方法有所分別，但本質上不是威脅利誘，就是思想改造。冷戰不只是兩大陣營對壘教科書中的冷戰，往往被描述成兩陣對壘；也就是代表了社會主義的蘇聯和中國，以及代表了資本主義的美國和西歐。不知道大家在歷史教科書讀到這種講法的時候，有甚麼感覺；但是細心剖析歷史，就發現簡單的二元分立法，忽略了細節，也見不到宏觀的局勢。今日的分享，希望借 Orwell 和 Burnham 的觀點，從 1940 年代知識份子的角度，重新了解當時的三分天下觀。其實這三大超級帝國，嚴格來就，就只有兩個半，本質上都是在建立某種信念，也就是大家經常聽到的意識形態，去永續其本身的統治結構，Burnham 的觀點，其實也受到現實主義的影響；也就是叫大家不要只見到表面上的意識形態的分別，忽略了其實這幾個超級帝國，本質上相似之處；它們都是受環境的影響又形成；意識形態是果，不是因。當然，三大超級帝國，因為經濟和技術水平的分別，以至表現出來的政治和社會文化也有所不同。先說美國和歐洲。這是最先工業化然後再發展出貿易和金融業的世界；但其實在第二次世界大戰前，美國剛經歷了百年一遇的經濟危機。在 FDR 的新政下，美國傳統的資本主義也出現了根本的改變。正如 Burnham 的描述那樣，踏入 1940 年代，指揮著資本和生產決定，已經不完全企業家和資本家的手上。《1984》中的天下三分，故事所發生的地方叫 Oceania ，指的當然是歐美而不是蘇聯（Eurasia），更不是遠東（Eastasia）。美國的企業家和資本家，對比在英國和西歐的那些，相對上已經算是更自由、自主。英國和歐陸，在戰後的發展，更接近 Orwell 和 Burnham 的預言。事實上，除了 Orwell 和 Burnham ，海耶克也寫了《通往奴役之路》，警告英國和美國的民眾，不要以為戰勝了軸心國就一勞永逸，因為自由社會經過兩次大戰，也漸漸變得更似戰前的法西斯社會。 但美國和西歐，始終勝有工業革命和全球貿易帶來的經濟實力，也就是在知識和資本上有一定的優勢；雖然在戰後這些第一代的發達國家，也漸漸離棄了十九世紀的新古典自由主義，但亦未至於一面倒地變成極權。畢竟，知識才是資本，而承載知識的是人；而極權下難以累積真正人才、知識和資本。這不只是常識，也是歷史教訓。講罷歐美，接下來的就是歐亞大陸上的蘇聯。蘇聯前身沙俄，其實仍然是個以農業為主的經濟。蘇聯時期大規模工業化，也就是史太林主義，說穿了就是不計人命代價到荒蕪的地方，例如西伯利亞開採礦材和石油，然後透過版圖的內循環重新分配，促進急速工業化。當最受惠的是東歐，因為當地人力資源水平相對較高。曾經有段日子，很多人相信「蘇聯模式」比自由市場更優越，超英趕美只是時間上的問題。但到 1970、1980 年代就更明顯見到，蘇聯式的計劃經濟工業化，發展到一定地步就會遇到樽頸位。蘇聯雖有天然資源，但知識和資本始終與西歐美國有一段距離。由蘇聯到後來的俄羅斯，由過去到今日，真正的優勢仍然是第一產業，也就是能源和礦產等天然資源。換句話說，整個蘇聯的歷史證明了，急速工業化不代表走進資本主義，未必能夠發展出一套真正有自我更新能力的經濟生態環境。更深入一點去了解，三種產業，即農、工、商；不應以高低貧賤劃分，而是「你中有我，我中有你」。更細膩的類比是，不同的經濟結構，像骨、肉和筋那樣，不是說有了一個就可以完全不要另一個。美歐的經濟，就是能夠做到三類產業類都同時並存；雖然比例上或許略有別，但只要維持得到關係的均衡，那就是相對穩定的狀態。產業比例與社會文化有莫大關係。第一產業，例如農業和天然資源，所佔比例越重，就越易出現專制社會。第二、第三產業發展的過程，人和知識的價值也越來越高，當知識階層的影響力也越來越大，Burnham 所講的那種「管理人員專政」也越明顯。發展中國家，軍人則相對有更大的權力。但是在已發展國家，影響力就轉移到技術官僚的手上。但是還是回到最初所提醒大家，不要只看表面。在美國的軍人一樣是社會上的特殊階層，總統在名義上也是三軍總司令，國土安全部也是鉅細無遺地監視監聽網絡上的對話。當然，也有人認為，身為美國人始終相對自由，也只有極少數人會因為講錯說話而被監禁。憲法第一修正案捍衛的言論自由，近年雖然有所變異，但至今在美國說了不中聽的話，大不了，都只是被輿論的抨擊和排擠。在歐美《1984》的預言雖然與我們有一段距離，但也不是真的遙不可及。遠東的第三陣營至於遠東那個神奇國度，天然資源不如蘇聯，人才和資本則不如歐美。但經濟學教讓我們明白到，沒有絕對優勢，還是有相對優勢。遠東的第三陣營，最大優勢就是人多；人多，即勞力多，供應多自然價錢低。換句話說，廉價勞動力就是神奇國度的最大買點。但反過來說，這種靠販賣廉價勞動力賺取外匯的社會，當人口結構出現變化，帶來的影響亦不成比例地大。很多人只道人口高齡化的挑戰是醫療和照料，但我認為，當靠販賣廉價勞動力賺錢的社會出現人口高齡化，那才是真正的負累。相反，在知識形社會下，高齡的人口仍然可以參與在各種經濟活動；那就是美國和中國的最大分別之一。說遠了，假如要用最簡單的方法去解釋 1970 年代後的世界經濟，我會說是歐美的資本主義模式結合了發展中國家的廉價勞動力，再加上在蘇聯和傳統產油國外，大量開發天然氣和石油。就是這樣，冷戰的第一回合進入尾聲。遠東的神奇國度，是最後才發展第二、第三產業。中國大陸的急速工業化，不是靠蘇維埃式的計劃經濟，而是受惠於歐美的訂單。至於第三產業，更加是在 2000 年後才起步。然而，這麼多年來，這套文化體系仍然離不開「人多好辦事」的傳統經濟價值觀念。例如，近來世界吹起人工智能熱潮，神奇國度的領導人就立刻要全民上下總動員去「彎路超車」。殊不知，像 OpenAI 這樣顛覆力強大的企業，其實只有三百多名員工。知識形社會的真正優勢，是有個開放的環境，讓知識推陳出新；人多，不如念頭豐富。神奇國度的制度缺陷，不只是思想上的貧乏。在另一邊廂，能源，礦產和原材料等第一產業，亦不是神奇國度的最主要出產。所以，若非有進口原材料的支援，依賴販賣廉價勞動力的經濟，增值少，亦難以持久。說穿了，神奇國度的工業，到目前為止仍然是以組裝為主，創造能力始終是相對遜色。冷戰的第二回合至於冷戰第二回合，由神奇國度的擴張開始。一帶一路是甚麼？當年的主流論述說是要輸出產能，因為產能過剩。這固然是一種觀點，但從另一方面了解，中共是要將影響力擴展到中亞到中東，也就是一條能源和礦產的輸送帶。中共最擔憂是出不了海，唯有靠陸路；這也是為何過去百多年來，神奇國度的理想主義者，都很著迷於修築鐵路和國內的運輸網絡。畢竟他們相信，大不了就回到過去那在圍牆後的自給自足狀態。還記得 Orwell 的預言嗎？俄烏戰的結果，會否令勢力的平衡出現轉變？中俄又是否必然的盟友？中美的關係會如何發展下去？看到這裡，相信大家應該有多一個新的角度去思考這些問題，我亦留待日後再詳細分享。最後，再分享多一次過去這個系列的其他文章： This is a public episode.

WARNING: It seems my microphone was not fully plugged in during this exchange, and the computer defaulted to the internal microphone... which is, well, garbage. So, my audio quality sounds pretty dreadful here, but it's at least listenable, and there's no way we were re-doing this entire conversation. As mentioned towards the end, however, I may do a regular series episode concerning Burnham's Machiavellians at a later time, if there is further interest in the topic.My friend Karl Nord and I discuss James Burnham, one of the intellectual forebears of modern conservative thought in the United States. Remarkably, upon a closer look into his life, we find that Burnham is an iconoclast who could have been called a socialist, a nationalist, a conservative, a Trotskyist, a neoliberal, a centrist or a social democrat at various times in his life - and yet, he repudiates and attacks all of these ideologies at various times as well. This is a thinker who once thought a communist revolution was inevitable for America, who wrote briefs for the CIA, who supported McCarthy, and who shaped the worldview of generations of conservatives. In the end, the only label that suits him is "Machiavellian", which is fittingly the title of one of his books, which we take a cursory look at during this episode.

Originally published on 12.02.2021. Ben reads the latest instalment in a series of pamphlets on the “Orwellian”: ‘Sales Soar at the Everything Store: Orwell, Power-Worship and the “Story of America”'. The piece looks at Orwell's many critiques of James Burnham, whose 1940s works inspired 1984's nightmare vision of an Anglicised Soviet surveillance state. Ben also explores the relationship between traditional intelligence methods (mostly leading to mass murder in the name of “anticommunism”) and the modern ‘data companies' role in running that game for the ruling class. It's easy to forget that power and control are not the same thing, and that sometimes our desire to feel like the ship is being steered entices us into believing that things are not going haywire. Hence Biden's (and others') guff about ‘the story of America'. Read the piece at www.spaghettiforbrains.com⁠ and subscribe for free to read future pamphlets in the newsletter.

When Leon Trotsky was murdered by NKVD agent Ramon Mercader in 1940, his ideas lived on. The Trotskyist Fourth International and the American Socialist Workers Party in particular claimed (though this was disputed by his widow Natalia) to be the inheritors of his beliefs. Trotsky's critique of the USSR and its capitalist enemies stated that the Russian Revolution had effectively been killed in its infancy, and that instead a bureacratic state had replaced a revolutionary society. Some of Trotsky's former disciples eventually distanced themselves from his beliefs, embracing American conservatism and free market capitalism, most famously the recanting revolutionary James Burnham.

The word “elite” is increasingly thrown around in modern discourse, often as an epithet. But who and what are the elites really, and are they a monolithic group? What can the works of thinkers like Vilfredo Pareto and James Burnham tell us about all this? Listen in as Erin and Techbro do a normie-friendly dive on the subject. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/erin-sith/support

The ladies discuss James Burnham's The Machiavellians and Vanity Fair's investigation of Peter Thiel and the New Right.

An introduction to James Burnham's concept of the managerial revolution, or how managers and bureaucrats came to dominate society (vs. old school business owners or political leaders). We discuss industrialization's revolution in scale that created the managerial class and the transformations wrought by managerialism. We also cover managerialism's limits and weaknesses, and key lessons that an understanding of the managerial nature of our regime can teach us.Subscribe to my newsletter: https://aaronrenn.substack.com/

There's been a recent flurry of articles and podcasts discussing the failure of evangelical elites, whether they have in fact failed, wondering who these so-called elites are, disclaiming that people are elites, etc. This week I look at the question of who the evangelical elite are, and whether or not they are doing a good job. I start by reprising the elite theory of E. Digby Baltzell, and also the views of others elite theorists like James Burnham, Robert Michels, C. Wright Mills, and Robert Dahl.  From this I create a definition of what an elite is and how elite power functions and apply it to America as a whole. Then I apply it to evangelicalism to show how the elites of various evangelical subdomains can be identified.Looking specifically at the group often labeled Big Eva, I name names in terms of who is doing poorly, who is doing well, and who is struggling to adapt to the times. I also examine and apply a different definition of the elite adapted from Kevin DeYoung, and discuss institutional constraints elites operate under, as well as virtues and perils of being inside vs. outside of institutions.American Reformer: The Evangelical Embarrassment Reflex - https://americanreformer.org/the-embarrassment-reflex-evangelicals-and-culture/The American Conservative: Church, State, and the Future of American Evangelicalism - https://www.theamericanconservative.com/articles/church-state-and-the-future-of-evangelicalism/Mark Galli on Evangelical Elites:  https://markgalli.substack.com/p/the-galli-report-100821Carl Trueman: The Failure of Evangelical Elites - https://www.firstthings.com/article/2021/11/the-failure-of-evangelical-elitesLife Books and Everything Podcast on Evangelical Elites (segments starts at 29:00) - https://www.thegospelcoalition.org/blogs/kevin-deyoung/life-and-books-and-everything-evangelical-elites/Mere Fidelity on Evangelical Elites - https://soundcloud.com/mere-fidelity/evangelical-elitesAmerican Affairs: E.
