Podcasts about Totalitarianism

Wie angekündigt feiern wir in diesem Jahr Hannah Arendt. In dieser Sendung soll es deswegen um das Werk 'Elemente und Ursprünge totaler Herrschaft' gehen, was Hannah Arendt im Jahr 1951 zunächst in englischer Sprache (The Origins of Totalitarianism) veröffentlichte und später erweiterte, sodass es schlussendlich ein Buch mit ca. 1000 Seiten wurde. 1955 erschien es dann auch in deutscher Sprache unter dem Titel 'Elemente und Ursprünge totaler Herrschaft'.

In this episode, we examine Friedrich Hayek's The Road to Serfdom, a chilling warning about how societies drift into tyranny—not through force, but through the seductive promise of central planning. Written in the shadow of fascism and communism, Hayek's argument is more relevant than ever: when the state takes control of the economy, it inevitably takes control of our lives. What begins as progress can end in oppression. This is the road to serfdom.

We were made for relationship — to be seen, loved, known, and committed to others. And yet we increasingly find ourselves, in the words of sociologist Jonathan Haidt, “disoriented, unable to speak the same language or recognize the same truth. We are cut off from one another and from the past.”On our podcast Haidt and bestselling author Andy Crouch pair up to explore how the technology era has seduced us with a false vision of human flourishing—and how each of us can fight back, and restore true community:“A person is a heart, soul, mind, strength, complex designed for love. And one of the really damaging things about our technology is very little of our technology develops all four of those qualities.” - Andy CrouchWe hope you enjoy this conversation about the seismic effects technology has had on our personal relationships, civic institutions, and even democratic foundations — and how we might approach rethinking our technologies and reclaiming human connection.This podcast is an edited version of an online conversation recorded in 2022.

Synopsis:  Is Authoritarianism Here?: Gessen and Stanley discuss the shift in America's self-understanding, from democratic ideals to a self-identity based on loving the US for its past greatness, and warn that this is not a democratic project, but rather a fascist one, similar to what Putin is doing in Russia. ARE YOU AUDACIOUS?

Masha Gessen and Jason Stanley are two leading experts on autocracy, and they're sounding the alarm. They and their families have escaped totalitarian regimes and oppressive governments; today Gessen and Stanley are pulling back the curtain on the attacks against DEI, trans bodies, civil rights, higher education and more. Is authoritarianism here? Masha Gessen is an acclaimed Russian-American journalist, a Polk Award winning opinion writer for the New York Times and the author of "Surviving Autocracy" and “The Future is History: How Totalitarianism Reclaimed Russia.” Forced to leave Russia twice, in 2024, a Moscow court convicted them, in absentia to eight years in prison for their reporting on the war in Ukraine. Jason Stanley is a best-selling author and professor whose books include “Erasing History” and "How Fascism Works". He recently left his teaching position at Yale University to relocate to Canada with his family; noting that he is a child of Jewish refugees who fled Nazi Germany. In this historic conversation — the first interview between Gessen and Stanley — the two explore how to be bold in our movements and envision a multi-ethnic democracy. Plus, a commentary from Laura.“Trump has proposed a revived empire, a return to an imaginary past. The Democrats have proposed the way things are now, which are deeply unsatisfying and horribly anxiety provoking for a very large number of people. So we need a vision of a future that is more appealing than the imaginary past.” - Masha Gessen“What I see now is this regime shifting the self understanding of America, from having these democratic ideals . . . God knows they've been imperfect, to a self identity as loving the United States because we've had these great men in our past, and we've conquered the West, and we can punch you in the nose. And that's not a democratic project. That's like what Putin is doing in Russia.” - Jason Stanley• Masha Gessen: Opinion Columnist, The New York Times; Author, Surviving Autocracy; Distinguished Professor, Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism, CUNY• Jason Stanley: Author, Erasing History & How Fascism Works; Professor, Munk School of Global Affairs, University of Toronto Music Credit: “America” by Sylvan Paul, courtesy of Wolf+Lamb Records.  "Steppin" by Podington Bear.

In this episode of "Students Talk Security," host Andre Rainville '27 discusses politics, freedom, and totalitarianism with the distinguished Dr. Orlando Gutierrez-Boronat. Born in Havana in 1965, Gutierrez-Boronat is a renowned author, spokesperson for the Cuban Democratic Directorate, and a zealous advocate for democratic change in Cuba. With his expertise deeply rooted in the study of Cuba, Latin American politics, and international relations, he brings invaluable insights into the global struggle for human rights and democratic principles. From the inception of his career, Gutierrez-Boronat's advocacy has carried significant impact, notably with the launch of Radio Republica in 2005, which served as a beacon of uncensored news and information for the Cuban populace. His literary contributions include over 50 articles and six books that dissect the fabric of totalitarian regimes and the inherent fight for freedom and dignity that resonates within oppressed societies.

Für die vierte Folge der zweiten Fempire-Staffel hat Rasha die Theater- und Prosaautorin Luna Ali als Gästin eingeladen. Lunas großartiger Debütroman „Da waren Tage“ erschien letztes Jahr, in dessen Kapiteln wir den Protagonisten Aras jedes Jahr am Jahrestag der Syrischen Revolution von 2011 an einem anderen Punkt seines Lebens antreffen. Dabei erleben wir nicht nur, wie die Ereignisse in Syrien sich auf Aras‘ Wahrnehmung von Realität und Fiktion auswirken, sondern wie Sprache beim Erzählen zwischen Deutschland und Syrien an ihre Grenzen gerät und immer wieder nach neuen Formen sucht. Auf Lunas Wunsch hin, wagen sich die beiden mit Hannah Arendt an eine der bedeutendsten Denkerinnen des 20. Jahrhunderts heran. 1906 in Linden bei Hannover geboren und in Königsberg aufgewachsen, studierte sie Philosophie, Theologie und Klassische Philologie und promovierte bei Karl Jaspers. Von der Gestapo verfolgt, flüchtete Arendt 1933 nach Paris und wegen des Vorrückens der Nazis 1941 ein zweites Mal in die USA, wo sie nach achtzehn Jahren Staatenlosigkeit 1951 die Staatsbürgerschaft erhielt. In New York, wo sie bis zu ihrem Tod 1975 lebte, lehrte sie an verschiedenen Universitäten, vor allem aber schrieb sie an einem so bedeutenden wie umfangreichen Werk politischer und philosophischer Texte. Um die Annäherung an die Werke der politischen Denkerin und Philosophin zu erleichtern, konzentrieren sich die beiden auf Arendts 1951 erstmals unter dem Titel „The Origins of Totalitarianism“ und 1955 auf Deutsch veröffentlichtes Opus magnum „Elemente und Ursprünge totaler Herrschaft: Antisemitismus, Imperialismus, Totalitarismus“ sowie auf ihren deutlich schlankeren Essay von 1943 „We Refugees“ („Wir Flüchtlinge“). Rasha und Luna sprechen über die schreckliche Aktualität von Arendts Werken, über Aktivismus und die Frage nach politischem Handeln, die sowohl Luna wie Arendt in ihren Texten beschäftigt. Außerdem erzählt Luna in einem kleinen Exkurs von ihrer Reise nach Syrien Anfang dieses Jahres. Bei alldem fragen sich Rasha und Luna immer wieder: was hätte wohl Hannah Arendt dazu zu sagen?

Why Resistance Matters: Lessons from Postcards to HitlerHow does authoritarianism take hold? What warning signs do we often miss? In this episode, we speak with Bruce Neuburger, author of Postcards to Hitler: A German Jew's Defiance in a Time of Terror, about the rise of political extremism—then and now. Neuburger shares his grandfather's incredible story of resistance under Nazi rule and explores the modern parallels we can't afford to ignore.

Can democracy be saved from totalitarianism? In this episode, the co-hosts are joined by political theorist Dr. Peg Birmingham (DePaul University) for an urgent discussion on the topic of totalitarianism. Starting with a critique of what counts as “the people” in democratic systems, our conversation unpacks the entanglement of nationalism and racism, the dangerous erosion of the rule of law, and the troubling resurgence of executive overreach in the United States.Drawing from theorists like Hannah Arendt and Carl Schmitt, we unpack how nationalistic democracies easily pivot toward authoritarian structures—and why naming, resisting, and reimagining democracy remains critical in this moment of global precarity.We also detail the signs of creeping totalitarianism, including terror tactics, de-nationalization, and the centralization of political power, while also reflecting on possibilities for resistance. What can be salvaged from democracy when the demos itself is fractured? What role can listening, ridicule, and justice-oriented solidarity play in resisting fascist creep?Birmingham emphasizes the need for collective action rooted in material justice and care for the most vulnerable, while co-hosts Leigh, Rick, and Devonya wrestle with how to reignite meaningful political opposition and build new coalitions of resistance. This powerful conversation challenges listeners to reckon with our political present and what might still be possible within it.Full episode notes available at this link:https://hotelbarpodcast.com/podcast/episode-177-totalitarianism-with-peg-birmingham-------------------If you enjoy Hotel Bar Sessions podcast, please be sure to subscribe and submit a rating/review!

This week on Inspire Change, Gunter is carrying on the conversation about masculinity redefined and the strength of empathy and connection.  Our vision is about being inclusive, emotionally intelligent and being deeply conncected to others, he will challenge those traditional myths that don't serve us anymore and  about how patriarchial conditioning shaping how we think about manhood. He will show us how to look at masculinity from a different perspective.  Gunter will tie it all back to the core principals of the Making Good Men Great movement and framework. Its about helping men to just getting by but truly being fulfilled. We start the episode with a quote:"What prepares men for totalitarian domination in the non-totalitarian world is the fact that loneliness, once a borderline experience usually suffered in certain marginal social conditions like old age, has become an everyday experience …" – From The Origins of Totalitarianism (1951) by Hannah ArendtMs. Arendt wrote that in 1951, it seems as if she had a looking glass into the future as we can how things are today.DON'T FORGET to join LEGENDS OF POWER SWOBODA-JOSEPHSON VIP Inner Circle.

Explore the shocking rise of modern totalitarianism in this insightful episode of The Jeremy Ryan Slate Show. We take a deep dive into the evolution of totalitarian ideologies, drawing critical parallels between historical regimes like Nazi Germany and Stalinist Russia and the alarming trends emerging in today's society. Joined by repeat guest Edwin Dearborn—author, board member, and expert in mergers and acquisitions—we critically examine the mechanisms behind totalitarian control, from relentless propaganda to the industrialization of terror, and discuss how these systems continue to adapt in the modern age.Through a unique perspective, we unpack the philosophy of Hannah Arendt, exploring her groundbreaking analysis in "The Origins of Totalitarianism," and connect her observations to the current socio-political climate. From the role of loneliness and propaganda to the shift from military power to policing, this must-watch discussion challenges mainstream perspectives and raises essential questions about liberty, sovereignty, and the future of democracy.Jeremy Ryan Slate, CEO of Command Your Brand, brings his expertise in new media and thought leadership to dissect these critical issues, empowering viewers to think critically and take action. This episode not only offers a thought-provoking narrative but also emphasizes the importance of community, education, and resisting apathy in the face of oppressive ideologies.Join the conversation!

Gear up for a hard-hitting recap of the MG Show as Jeffrey Pedersen and Shannon Townsend tear into "Everything Trump Does Democrats Must Oppose; No Income Tax?"—a patriot-fueled expose that exposes the swamp's dirty tricks and rallies the MAGA faithful! The episode kicks off with a bombshell: Democrats are being baited into opposing Trump's bold move to eliminate income tax, a pro-American policy that could free citizens from government overreach. The hosts call out this orchestrated resistance as part of a meta-narrative of hate against Trump, backed by the shocking reveal of a paid protest at Trump Tower in Chicago—where they showed who funded it, proving the deep state's hand in the game! In the first hour, the cultural chaos intensifies as the meltdown over Elon's DOGE gets louder, with Jeffrey and Shannon cheering Musk's Department of Government Efficiency as a win for America-First values, despite the leftist uproar. They also rolled out a fiery segment from Jesse Watters, outlining Democrats' previous positions, exposing their long history of obstructionism. The second hour dives deeper, linking this hate to a mass psychosis of totalitarianism and menticide—the killing of the mind—showing how the swamp manipulates thought to crush Trump's vision. The clincher? The Massie issue kicks off MAGA hate, with Thomas Massie's defiance against Trump sparking a firestorm—Jeffrey and Shannon back the President's fight, seeing Massie's stance as a betrayal that fuels division.

Rockets landing on moon as they move toward establishing a base for traveling to mars. Robots, AI, promises of wealth and peace. All a distraction from God and the plan that was established to save those devoted to righteousness. Making belief on God look old fashioned and a fictional thing. While those who know God, are seeing the plan take shape. Proving scripture when it says that people will be so caught up in hope of the future they consider Christians an obstacle to the future. Except for the churches that teach Kingdom now. Because of our disobedience to God, as well as dishonorable individuals who played fast and very loose with our Constitution. We now face the darkness that has been prepared for the time ahead.

Darren discussed these topics:Thousands of protesters came out across the country Wednesday to speak out against the Trump Administration and Project 2025.Now Trump wants to take over the Gaza Strip and redevelop it, forcing Palestinians from their homeland (ethnic cleansing).Palestinians say they won't leave the Gaza Strip.Secretary of State Marco Rubio is in favor of Trump's Gaza Strip proposal and is also in favor of dismantling USAID.A Justice Department official said that FBI agents who simply followed orders won't be fired for probing Trump's involvement in the January 6 traitorous riot or the classified documents case. Darren doesn't believe the official.Meanwhile, FBI agents have sued the Trump administration to keep their names from being published. They're fearful of retaliation from the January 6 criminals who have been pardoned.Trump announced that the United States will withdraw from the United Nations Human Rights Council and will stop funding UNRWA, which is assisting Palestinian refugees.Elon Musk said he deleted a government program that oversaw the IRS Direct File program, but Direct File is still working for American taxpayers.And a judge has blocked Trump's plan to offer buyouts for federal employees.

Traditional totalitarianism conjures images of jack-booted stormtroopers, death camps and gulags. In recent years a new variety of totalitarianism has emerged. Noted political theorist Sheldon Wolin calls it “the inversion of totalitarianism” and that it “represents the coming of age of corporate power and political demobilization of the citizenry. Unlike classical totalitarian systems which openly boasted of their intentions to force their societies in a preconceived totality, inverted totalitarianism is not expressly conceptualized as an ideology, nor is it objectified in public policy.” Corporations have de facto power and have carried out a slow-motion coup d'état. How to resist? Wolin says it starts at the local level.

Alex speaks with Eric Schliesser about the "freedom to" vs. "freedom from" debate in political theory, using Serene Khader's book Faux Feminism as a central reference. They explore the historical distinction between negative and positive liberty, the role of hierarchy in structuring freedom, and how liberalism's focus on removing restrictions can sometimes reinforce existing power structures. The discussion touches on feminist theory, liberal political thought, and broader critiques of market-based individualism.

Conservatives and libertarians regularly name reducing the size of the state as their top priority but rarely consider the factors that drive the growth of government. For most champions of small government, institutional neutrality and the minimal exercise of state power are seen as metrics of success, but they rarely realize that those factors can actually make expansion of the state inevitable. While it is counterintuitive to modern proponents of small government, vigorous state action in favor of defending a unified culture is far more likely to protect liberty than policies like open borders and neutral institutions.

Mattias Desmet, author of The Psychology of Totalitarianism, joins The Feds this week. Mattias is a professor at Ghent University who clearly articulated the mass formation seen during the COVID-19 pandemic. In the interview, we discuss how to spot mass formation and propaganda, and why free speech is so important. We discuss the 2024 US Election, and how we saw both mass formation and a breaking of mass formation. We talk about transhumanism and a return to God. Woven throughout the interview, Mattias hones in on the point that people from different backgrounds are newly united by their ethical duty to articulate their own unique and sincere opinions. 1:00 Mattias Desmet: Why he started looking into Mass Formation 4:50 What is Mass Formation and how do you spot it?

In today's conversation, I am joined by Audrey Unverferth, a visiting Fellow at Hungary's MCC, whose research specializes in Soviet totalitarianism. Audrey draws parallels between Russian totalitarianism and current trends in the United States and across the Western world, highlighting how Russian history serves as a stark warning about the perils of totalitarianism and the fragility of democratic republics.Watch this episode on YouTube.

America is facing an epidemic of loneliness, and it's as bad for people's health as smoking up to 15 cigarettes a day, says U.S. surgeon general Vivek Murthy.In the past two decades, there's been a marked rise in suicides and “deaths of despair.”What's fueling these trends of social fragmentation, isolation, and atomization? And how are they linked to broader political and social trends?In this episode, two of the world's leading thinkers on bioethics and group psychology join together with me for the first time.Dr. Aaron Kheriaty is a former psychiatry professor and director of the medical ethics program at the University of California Irvine Medical School. He's the author of “The New Abnormal.”Mattias Desmet is a professor of psychology at Ghent University and author of “The Psychology of Totalitarianism.”Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

Within hours of being identified as the assassin of a UnitedHealthcare CEO, 26-year-old Luigi Mangione gained hundreds of thousands of followers and was catapulted into fame by a fandom who believes that his murder of a father was justified violence – akin to a modern guillotine in the hands of the oppressed. Mattias Desmet, renowned worldwide as the leading expert on ‘mass formation' and the madness of crowd behavior, joins psychiatrist Dr. Aaron Kheriaty to examine the shocking public support for a suspected murderer and why people react differently to a crime if it's supported by a crowd who believes they are oppressed – even when their hero turns out to be an Ivy League heir to a multimillion dollar fortune who doesn't follow gun control laws. Mattias Desmet is professor of psychology at the University of Ghent in Belgium and author of The Psychology of Totalitarianism. Desmet is the author of over one hundred peer-reviewed academic papers. In 2018 he received the Evidence-Based Psychoanalytic Case Study Prize of the Association for Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy, and in 2019 he received the Wim Trijsburg Prize of the Dutch Association of Psychotherapy.

It was possible to see Donald Trump's first election victory as some kind of fluke. But after the results of this election, it's clear that America is living in the Trump era. And for Americans who've struggled to process this fact, you have lots of company around the world. From Hungary to Brazil, right-wing figures with openly authoritarian goals have been voted into power, to the concern of many of the people who live there.A political phenomenon that spans countries like this — especially countries with such different levels of wealth, political systems and cultures — requires an explanation that spans countries, too. So we wanted to re-air this episode that originally published in November 2022, because it offers exactly that kind of theory. Pippa Norris is a political scientist at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government. She's written dozens of books on topics ranging from comparative political institutions to right-wing parties and the decline of religion. In 2019, she and Ronald Inglehart published “Cultural Backlash: Trump, Brexit and Authoritarian Populism,” which gives the best explanation of the far right's rise that I've read. And it feels so much more relevant now in this country, after Trump's decisive election. In this conversation, we discuss what Norris calls the “silent revolution in cultural values” that has occurred across advanced democracies in recent decades, why the “transgressive aesthetic” of leaders like Trump and Brazil's Jair Bolsonaro is so central to their appeal, the role that economic anxiety and insecurity play in fueling right-wing backlashes and more.Mentioned:Sacred and Secular by Pippa Norris and Ronald Inglehart“Exploring drivers of vote choice and policy positions among the American electorate”Book Recommendations:Popular Dictatorships by Aleksandar MatovskiSpin Dictators by Sergei Guriev and Daniel TreismanThe Origins of Totalitarianism by Hannah ArendtThoughts?
