Episode 34 - Pt. 6 Dangerous Minds, Nietzsche, Heidegger, and the Return of the Far Right with Ronald Beiner
Explicit content warning
07/17/21 • 107 min
Jules speaks with Professor Ronald Beiner about his book Dangerous Minds: Nietzsche, Heidegger, and the Return of the Far Right. Ronald Beiner is Professor of Political Science at the University of Toronto. Contemporary far-right and neofascist movements continue to be inspired by these philosophers, and intellectually conscious fascists still hold them in high regard. Do these philosophers have anything useful for the political left, and if so, what can we find in philosophers who outright reject egalitarianism?

Episode 33 - Pt. 5 Fascism, Anti-Communism, the CIA and French Theory with Gabriel Rockhill
In the final episode in our series about Fascism, Jules speaks with Professor Gabriel Rockhill about a series of articles he wrote called "Fascism - A Counter-History". Professor Rockhill speaks to the conjunctural, structural, and systemic aspects of Fascism from a materialist perspective, and how this method breaks with liberal notions of fascism simply being an idiosyncratic occurrence that happened once in history. Along the way, questions of syncretism, operation paperclip, and Michel Foucault come up, including how the CIA targeted certain theorists in order to drive an ideological wedge between communists and left anti-communists.
