In der zweiten Folge unserer Reihe über Julius Evola vertiefen wir uns in sein philosophisches System und seine spirituelle Weltanschauung. Wir analysieren sein Verständnis der "Tradition" - nicht als bloße Rückbesinnung, sondern als metaphysisches Prinzip und radikale Alternative zur Moderne. Im Mittelpunkt steht Evolas unnachgiebige Kritik der modernen Welt, die er als spirituellen Verfallsprozess betrachtete, sowie sein Konzept der "virilen Spiritualität" und des "differenzierten Menschen". Dabei diskutieren wir kritisch, wie Evolas antidemokratisches und hierarchisches Denken bis heute rechtsextreme Bewegungen weltweit inspiriert und welche Gefahren seine elitäre Weltanschauung für demokratische Gesellschaften birgt.---Youtube-Kanalmitglied werden und exklusive Vorteile erhalten: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8d09rKkWS5MkIdAuzUpkmA/joinDir gefällt der Podcast?

Fascism is a term that's often thrown around but rarely understood in full. Originating in early 20th-century Europe, it describes an authoritarian, ultranationalist ideology marked by totalitarianism, militarism, and the suppression of dissent. But fascism isn't confined to history—it's a set of ideas and tendencies that can resurface in different forms. In this episode, we break down Umberto Eco's 14 characteristics of “Ur-Fascism” to uncover the hallmarks of fascist ideologies. We explore whether the United States is showing signs of a shift toward authoritarianism and why this matters for everyone, including Australians. With global political trends on the rise, understanding these dynamics is critical to recognising the warning signs and their implications for democracy, freedom, and global alliances.

Flashback: Reflecting on the FIRST big, public debate I did with Adam Kokesh and briefly replying to the hit piece written about me by a pathological skeptic, I give my response and launch into a lengthier critique of all modern revolutionary thought. This critique analyzes the assumptions of all modern liberal positions, from Marxism to anarchism to fascism. In hour two for subscribers I do a presuppositional critique of the nonsensical, somewhat famous essay of Umberto Eco on how to identify "fascism," titled "Ur-Fascism." Many topics are covered, from Descartes to logical fallacies and meta-logic.Send Superchats at any time here: https://streamlabs.com/jaydyer/tip Get started with Bitcoin here: https://www.swanbitcoin.com/jaydyer/ The New Philosophy Course is here: https://marketplace.autonomyagora.com/philosophy101 Set up recurring Choq subscription with the discount code JAY44LIFE for 44% off now https://choq.com Lore coffee is here: https://www.patristicfaith.com/coffee/ Orders for the Red Book are here: https://jaysanalysis.com/product/the-red-book-essays-on-theology-philosophy-new-jay-dyer-book/ Subscribe to my site here: https://jaysanalysis.com/membership-account/membership-levels/ Follow me on R0kfin here: https://rokfin.com/jaydyernism, evangelicalism, Arianism, cults, Hebrew roots, JWs, etc. Subscribe to my site here: https://jaysanalysis.com/membership-account/membership-levels/ Follow me on R0kfin here: https://rokfin.com/jaydyerBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/jay-sanalysis--1423846/support.

An analysis based on my book "The Rise of Duterte" and Umberto Eco's "Ur-Fascism" framework.

Populisme is een begrip dat sinds 2016 volop werd gebruikt om de dreiging aan verschillende politieke fronten te duiden, maar het is een verrassend breed gebruikt begrip. De meeste definities verwijzen naar het onderzoek van Cas Mudde, die populisten duidts als: “Parties that endorse the set of ideas that society is ultimately separated into two homogeneous and antagonistic groups, “the pure people” versus “the corrupt elite”, and which argue that politics should be an expression of the volonté générale, or general will, of the people.” Mudde, 2004. Benjamin Moffitt, hoogleraar en schrijver van het boek Populism, noemt nadrukkelijk dat populisme geen ideologie is, maar een stijl van politiek bdrijven, “a way of speaking, acting, and presenting oneself.” Hierdoor zijn er veel verschillende groepen die onder deze noemer vallen, die op verschillende manieren worden beschuldigd van populisme. Populisme is niet hetzelfde als extreem-rechts of extreem-links gedachtegoed, maar die beide groepen gebruiken wel regelmatig populistische methodes. Populisme is niet hetzelfde als populariteit, hoewel er groepen zijn die populisme op die manier proberen te zuiveren van de negatieve bijklank. Populisme is ook niet hetzelfde als fascisme, hoewel populistische rhetoriek wel een kenmerk is van fascisme. De klassieke term die veel overlap vertoont met populisme is “demagogie”, waarbij een demagoog of “volksmenner” of “rabble-rouser” specifiek inspeelt op de driften en wensen van het volk door ze tegen de elite op te jagen. Dit valt samen met de definitie van populisme gebruikt door Catherine Fieschi, die stelt dat populisten niet alleen zeggen te spreken namen de moreel superieure stem van het volk, maar ook uniek in staat zijn om die stem te horen. Daarmee worden hun tegenstanders dus weggezet als vijanden van de waarheid en puurheid van het volk. Het nieuwere woord populisme komt uit de Verenigde Staten, waar in 1892 een partij genaamd de People's Party of ook de Populist Party in opstand kwam tegen de elite. Zij zagen zichzelf als gerechtvaardigd in het democratisch opstaan tegen de elite die hen onderdrukte. Sindsdien blijft de tweedeling tussen het volk en de elite een kenmerk van populistische retoriek, of er nou sprake is van een tweedeling tussen volk en elite, of niet. Vandaag onderzoeken wij de kenmerken van populisme in de hoop de term minder beladen en met meer precisie te kunnen gebruiken. Is populisme ooit “goed” of terecht? Is populisme een inherent onderdeel van bestuur door het volk? Is populisme altijd bron van polarisatie? Te gast is Sjoerd, net als in aflevering 4.

In the 5 AM Hour: Larry O'Connor and Julie Gunlock discussed: Biden rips into Trump over abortion statement CBS Evening News on X: "Former President Donald Trump has offered conflicting stances on abortion, boasting about his involvement in overturning Roe v. Wade, while recently refraining from endorsing a federal abortion ban and saying that the matter should be determined by individual states. Bill Kristol on X: "Trump's waffling on abortion could help him politically in the short term. But it could hurt him if people understand this is classic authoritarianism. (See Eco on Ur-Fascism.) If Trump were sincerely pro-life, that'd be one thing. It's the authoritarianism that is so dangerous."

Jared, Oriana and Ned discuss Oriana's choice of topic: Silicon Valley's misinterpretation and fetishization of Tolkien. Tolkien of course lived in a time where computers were mostly huge rooms containing one machine or two that he doubtless considered little more than another example of why the industrial age didn't suit his mindset on many fronts. But in the half-century since his death the PC era up through smartphones and TikTok have made the industry one of the biggest and most influential in the world – which is the problem. The issues discussed are hardly limited to them but two of its most well-known and notorious avatars in recent years, Peter Thiel and his protege Palmer Luckey, have among other things named various businesses of questionable use and worth (at best) after characters and terms from Tolkien's legendarium as part of their general quest to own everything and be everywhere whether one likes it or not. There is, however, the small problem that they think they might be Aragorns when it's much more accurate to call them Saruman and Wormtongue. What are the roots of Thiel's own particular worldview in particular, shaped by colonial legacies of the kind that Tolkien himself notably loathed? What are the various poisonous ironies of naming particular businesses after certain Tolkien-derived terms considering their original meaning and what they now represent? Can the Tolkien Estate themselves actually do anything about the use and misuse of such terms to start with? And why in the world did Thiel think that a good choice of quote from Tolkien was in fact a quote from an original Rankin-Bass song instead?Show Notes.Jared's doodle.

Brad and Dan begin by discussing the two massacres in one day that happened in Texas last weekend. They borrow from work by Umar Haique who summarizes the state of the USA as a country experiencing "ultraviolence" as a form of societal collapse. https://medium.com/eudaimonia-co/why-cnns-trump-town-hall-was-a-disgrace-and-an-insult-to-democracy-320738e60147 Brad links this to the Trump town hall hosted by CNN. He makes the case that this was the platforming of a fascist leader who has no interest in truth or policy, much less persuading voters. His motive is power and it flows from his worldview: the strong deserve to rule and the weak deserve dehumanization and punishment. Dan relates all of this to the verdict in the E. Jean Carroll civil suit and what it means now and moving forward. In the final segment, Dan explains how Senator Tommy Tuberville (AL) called White nationalists "real Americans" and what this reveals about the state of the GOP.

We've considered two out of the three main strands of 20th century political thought: capitalism and socialism. Fascism is the third, and it is both the most and the least important of the three to consider. I consider it the least important because fascism was defeated, and relegated to the fringes, and honoring its existence with a critique seems like a waste of time. On the other hand, when it comes to Nietzsche, it becomes particularly important to address because of how Nietzsche was tarred with the associations with the fascists, and blamed for their crimes. In this episode, we explore the reasons for this, including his sister Elisabeth, Nietzsche's association with Wagner, Nazi philosophers like Baumler who tried to reshape Nietzsche's ideas to his fit own, and critics like Ernest Newman who took the Nazi claims on Nietzsche uncritically. In fact, when we look to Nietzsche's letters, and many statements he'd made over the years about his break with Wagner, that the ideas of German nationalism and anti-semitism were repugnant to him - he goes so far as to say that it is opposed to his entire way of life. As such, we take a particular focus in this episode on addressing anti-semitism. Even though anti-semitism is not essential to all forms of fascism, the same patterns of harnessing the envy and resentment of the average, precarious person and giving him an evil enemy to fight can be seen in its example. We find that Nietzsche's philosophy is opposed to any essential idea of race, and that those who believed in such things often appealed to mystical or metaphysical claims about the races as descended from pure, separate species from an ancient Golden Age - such as the occult beliefs of the Thule Society. And finally, even against Mussolinian ideas of state-worship, Nietzsche exists in stark contrast, as we call to mind his concern of the state becoming the ends rather than a means, and the "iron-clamp" crushing down and stopping all productions of culture. For Nietzsche, the state is "the coldest of all monsters", and it is a lie when it claims to represent or stand for the people. This episode is unique among these three excursions into 20th century political thought in that it is the only one of the three where we'll seriously examine Nietzsche's life, yet again, and his personal relationships, since none of this can be understood without the story of Elisabeth Nietzsche. As sources, I've used Umberto Eco's Ur-Fascism essay in order to ground what we're talking about as regards fascism, and we'll look at some ways in which Nietzsche and he agree in condemning fascism, but some ways in which Nietzsche's ideas run astray of Eco's standards. I've also used Stephen Hicks' book, "Nietzsche and the Nazis", and some of the materials available on his website. We look at five ways that Hicks sees Nietzsche as opposed to the Nazis, and five ways they could be seen as similar. I disagree with Hicks on many points, though I feel his work to be valuable. I also cite Kaufmann's biography of Nietzsche at many points (albeit without providing page numbers), and even use Rob Solomon's introduction to Nietzsche, "What Nietzsche Really Said", for one quote.

In episode 379 of The Strenuous Life Podcast I talk with podcaster, martial artist, and history professor Daniele Bolelli about the characteristics of fascism. This is a loaded topic for both of us, because both of our families lived in fascist states during World War 2 (mine in Germany, his in Italy).  Which is why I almost went with an alternate title, namely A German and an Italian Walk Into a Bar... The terms 'fascism' sure gets thrown around a lot these days. But words have meaning, and so you can't just use it as an insult to describe anything you don't like. S0 what is it? As Daniele explains, there isn't a single definition of fascism; instead it's a checklist and the more items an ideology checks off then the closer they are to fascism.  Here are some of the major items for Daniele... Nostalgia for a mythic past Reliance on an authority figure who will fix everything Nationalism A cult of masculinity and cracking down on anyone who doesn't embody traditional values A hawkish desire for war against internal and external enemies Strong alliances with traditional power structures like industry and religion Anti-intellectualism and a distrust of expertise Conservative values, Subordination of women, anti-abortion, anti-birth control Anti-democratic values Emphasis on law and order Other things we discuss are Giorgia Meloni (the Prime Minister of Italy), economic situations before the rise of fascism, horseshoe theory and the eventual convergence of extreme left and extreme right, and the danger of fascism in the world right now.

His History on Fire Podcast (highly recommended) His History on Fire Patreon if you want more content and support good work He's on Instagram @daniele_bolelli More Definitions of Fascism Fascism is a tricky word, and many different people have taken stabs at defining it.  Here are a few of my favorites... I found Jason Stanley's 10 traits of a fascist movement a very useful starting point. Umberto Eco's essay Ur-Fascism, originally published in the New York Review, included a 14 point list of the features of fascism. He identified that, for fascists, the enemy must simultaneously be very weak and very strong, which I found fascinating because I see it so often in the discourse these days. British political scientist Roger Griffin has defined the fascistic core as an ultranationalism focused on the idea of rebirth of a people or a nation (or palingenetic ultranationalism).   As is so often the case, the Wikipedia article on the definitions of fascism is a useful starting point if you want to go deeper into this topic.

DISCLAIMER: This episode contains a discussion of the aesthetics of fascism and how Top Gun can be read as a fascist film. To be clear, we are in no way suggesting that director Tony Scott, writers Jack Epps Jr. & Jim Cash, or any other person involved in the making of Top Gun is a fascist or holds fascist sympathies. Rather, our intention is to examine how fascist imagery and ideas infiltrate popular culture and prey on our emotions. Nat & Alli feel the need for speed and there's only one prescription: big, dumb, homoerotic 80s action schlock. Without a trace of rose-tinted nostalgia, the Snails and Oysters team finally gets to the bottom of the age old question: Is Maverick bi? Yes. Obviously. We also ask a more interesting question: Is Top Gun a fascist movie?

Commissioned by the conservative Belgian newspaper Le Vingtième Siècle for its children's supplement Le Petit Vingtième, it was serialised weekly from August 1938 to August 1939. Hergé intended the story as a satirical criticism of the expansionist policies of Nazi Germany, in particular the annexation of Austria in March 1938 (the Anschluss). The story tells of young Belgian reporter Tintin and his dog Snowy, who travel to the fictional Balkan nation of Syldavia, where they combat a plot to overthrow the monarchy of King Muskar XII.

This week, Luke and Jonathan revisit a true time capsule of 90s radio rock for Christian consumption -- Underdog by Audio Adrenaline. They discuss Audio Adrenaline's not-so-subtle "influences," Luke's most and least favorite songs of all time, and how many of these songs are low-key BANGERS (save the lyrics)!!

On this edition of Parallax Views, J.P. Sottile aka the Newsvandal joins us to unpack where America is at after the chaos on Capitol Hill last week in which angry, unruly Trump supporters, QAnon believers, Oath Keepers, and others stormed D.C. in the belief that Joe Biden's Presidential victory was the belief of election fraud and that a second term in the White House was stolen from Trump as a result. J.P., as someone who studied fascism during his years in academia and grew up in an evangelical Christian family, has an interesting take on these matters and believes that the Republican Party has unleashed a beast that has been caged since the McCarthy era. The discussion moves towards one of a philosophical nature as we delve into the idea of Victims and Perpetrators in society and politics with J.P. contending that we are all complicit in a deeply broken society. J.P. mentions the Iraq War in this regard and J.G. brings up Umberto Eco's "Ur-Fascism" essay, but the discussion goes down many different and varied rabbit holes. A deeply thoughtful conversation.

Scott Gosnell recently finished translating his seventh Giordano Bruno book, Song of Circe & On the Composition of Images. Through this long process, he has become more familiar with Bruno’s work than probably 99.9% of the people on the planet. We have talked many times on this podcast and the Arnemancy blog about how brilliant Bruno is, and Scott’s insight into this Renaissance genius has influenced his understanding of the modern world. In this episode, we discuss not only Scott’s work on Bruno, but the state of the world today, how we can make sure our information about the modern world is good, and how we can start preparing for an uncertain future. He discusses the importance of looking for diverse perspectives in order to understand the information bubbles we all live in, and how other ways of looking at things can help us find new ways to think. Here in the United States, the national election is right on top of us, and there are plenty of whispers about the uncertainty of this country’s future. Scott’s advice for evaluating politics through a broader lens and intelligently planning for the future meshes well with my season one conversation with Andrew Watt in Wizards of the Future and can help you take a closer look at your own preparations.

Getting Informed: A Leftist Lit Podcast is a book club, hosted by Collin Orton, where inexperienced lefties try and make sense of what the hell is going on around them. In Episode 1, Collin is joined by Al Groppi and Dylan Slye to discuss Umberto Eco's Ur-Fascism, which certainly has no bearing in modern politics. This episode was recorded in August of 2020, and so the news segments will become more relevant to current events as we catch up to the current date. As this is episode one, there are some audio issues, please bear with us, we're figuring it out.

This week A.Ron goes over a 1995 essay by Umberto Eco, entitled "Ur-Fascism". What is fascism? What does it look like to be living in a democratic society that is slipping into fascism? What does it feel like? Does 21st century America embody any of the principles of "Ur-Fascism" that Eco outlines in his essay? What can we do to combat these tendencies?

On this week’s episode, Steve, Dana, and Julia discuss Bill & Ted Face the Music, the decades-later sequel to the 1989 and 1991 originals. (This was also Dana’s first movie review for Slate after the pandemic’s monthslong disruption! Check it out here.) Next, the panel talks about Chadwick Boseman’s legacy with Wesley Morris, a critic-at-large for the New York Times who wrote about the late actor’s powerful approach to biographical moviemaking. Finally, they dive into Dana’s comfort pick—Days of Heaven. In Slate Plus, the hosts talk about moviegoing with Sam Adams, Slate’s very own writer who ventured into a newly opened theater to review Tenet.

What if Fascism established its foothold in America long before Trump and the Alt-Right? Is it possible that American principles were destined to evolve into authoritarian ideology? Using Umberto Eco's essay on Ur-Fascism , we will explore the violent political tenets that exist in all fascist movements and interrogate the idea of American Fascism.

In this episode we continue our discussion on Umberto Eco's Ur-Fascism. We go over the final seven tenets and discuss the potential implications of this ideology and its effect on the 2020 election cycle.

Our longest episode yet! Walter, Ian and Matt acknowledge that Mars will always be Filipino, and then we test our patience (but not COVID) with Jared Kushner. Closing out the episode we examine Umberto Eco's seminal essay, Ur-Fascism

In this episode, the team tries to not laugh as they discuss Joker, Ad Astra, Scorsese acting like a little bitch, Playstation 4 and VR, Borderlands 3, E-Bikes, Crazy Lenny, Umberto Eco, Name of the Rose, Foucault’s Pendulum, Ur Fascism, Mussolini and Trump, Kurds and Turkey, David Berman, Green Bay Packers, Ozark, and more!

If Donald Trump’s presidency suggests America is sliding towards fascism, what can we do about it? Picking up on their last conversation, in this episode of Barely Gettin’ By Emma and Chloe look at the role of American institutions in enabling Trump. They compare this with the democratic weakness that enabled the Nazis’ rise to power in Germany in the 1930s, to unpick the myth of America’s uniquely strong, resilient democracy. If Congress, the Senate, and the Supreme Court can’t stop Trump, can Elizabeth Warren save America from a fascist future?Umberto Eco, ‘Ur-Fascism’, New York Review of Books, 22 June 1995 [$]https://www.nybooks.com/articles/1995/06/22/ur-fascism/Jane Caplan, ‘Trump and Fascism.

The podcast will be returning in September, but I wanted to share the new audiobook “The War on Everyone” by former guest, journalist Robert Evans. Robert is the host of one of my favorite podcasts, “Behind The Bastards”, where he profiles some of the worst people in history. The work he has done to catalog the history of White Supremacy in America provides so much essential context for our current political climate. So with his permission, I am republishing the entire book in two parts this week. You can also find the book at http://thewaroneveryone.com Chapter 1: The Eternal Fascist There is nothing new under the sun. In this chapter, you’ll learn about “Ur-Fascism”, and how humor and irony have historically been used to enable its rise. Chapter 2: An American Fascist Faith The Tree of Life Synagogue Shooting, the Poway Synagogue shooting, the Olympic park bombing and dozens of other terrorist attacks all have one thing in common- Christian Identity. In this chapter, we delve into a cultic belief system at the heart of American fascism. Chapter 3: The Apostle of Fascism William Luther Pierce is the most important Nazi you’ve never heard of, and his work has helped inspire a generation of terrorists- right up to the present day.

Full Essay https://www.pegc.us/archive/Articles/eco_ur-fascism.pdf While Eco is firm in claiming “There was only one Nazism," he says, “the fascist game can be played in many forms, and the name of the game does not change.” Eco reduces the qualities of what he calls “Ur-Fascism, or Eternal Fascism” down to 14 “typical” features.

We’re talking Fascism! Everyone’s favorite way to lose all their rights! How’s North Korea diplomacy going? Why is Trump so terrible to our allies, but sucks up to dictators? What about Ur-Fascism or “Eternal Fascism?” Did an article written in 1995 really sum up all of Trump’s tactics? On this episode, everyone’s three least favorite […]

In this Episode, Brent and I will talk through the first 7 of Umberto Ecco’s 14 points of Ur-Fascism, Pepe will report, and Jon will join us for a news roundup and discussion of the NFL protests. All this and more, be warned we showcase our ability to never shut the fuck up in this one and it runs a little long.

No Lex this week but we have a special guest. Moltz talks about seeing Mike Monteiro's talk on fighting fascism. Jon talks about Umberto Eco's essay on Ur-Fascism which is available in PDF form.

Reflecting on the debate with Adam Kokesh and briefly replying to the hit piece written about me by a pathological skeptic, I give my response and launch into a lengthier critique of all modern revolutionary thought. This critique analyzes the assumptions of all modern liberal positions, from Marxism to anarchism to fascism. In hour two for subscribers I do a presuppositional critique of the nonsensical, somewhat famous essay of Umberto Eco on how to identify "fascism," titled "Ur-Fascism." Many topics are covered, from Hume to Descartes to logical fallacies and meta-logic. Purchase my book or subscribe to JaysAnalysis here:https://jaysanalysis.com/jays-book/

This is Episode 5 of the State of the Theory Podcast. Politics. Power. Popular Culture. And other stuff, probably. In this series, we’re like super nerdy philosophical DJs: mashing up Serious Academic Questions with the most topical news and trends in pop culture. Each week, we’ll tackle a new topic and collide it with ‘critical theory’ (we’re pretty loose with our definitions, though, so expect the unexpected). Our aim is to destroy the stuff we know, explore the stuff we don’t and unsettle everything we think we know about the world. We take the obvious, the commonsensical, the certain, and then we rip it all to shreds. We are your theory doctors and we are always on call. In this episode, we consider Donald Trump in USA, and Narendra Modi in India through theories of Fascism. We ask to what extent these politicians and the movements they lead can be described as 21st Century forms of Fascism. The theoretical texts we refer to are: Walled States, Waning Sovereignty by Wendy Brown (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Walled-States-Waning-Sovereignty-Wendy/dp/1935408097) "Ur-Fascism" by Umberto Eco (www.pegc.us/archive/Articles/eco_ur-fascism.pdf) "The Ghosts of 1920s Italy Are Here to Haunt Us" by Diego Maiorano (http://thewire.in/2016/02/24/the-ghosts-of-1920s-italy-are-here-to-haunt-us-22513/) Our theme music is "The Face of God" by The Agrarians (freemusicarchive.org/music/The_Agra…he_Face_of_God) State of the Theory is brought to you by Hannah Fitzpatrick (University of Aberdeen) and Anindya Raychaudhuri (University of St Andrews) Find us on Facebook (www.facebook.com/stateofthetheorypodcast/?fref=ts) or Tweet us @drhfitz and @DrAnindyaR
