The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Ep. 161
In many respects, things were not going well in Germany in the 1920s and 1930s in the wake of the First World War. The population was humiliated and impoverished, distrusted throughout Europe, and riddled with various problems of social and cultural degeneracy, not least rampant corruption and the relentless manipulations of Marxism. To address these problems, a grand experiment was performed under the direction of Adolf Hitler, the Nazi Experiment. This Nazi Experiment was not just catastrophic but horrific, rightly an icon of the possible depths of human evil. Today, some would have us look at that experiment for inspiration, suggesting its terrible, monstrous evil mistells the tale. In this daring episode of the New Discourses Podcast, host James Lindsay reads directly from the source of the vile beginnings of the Nazi Experiment, the second chapter of Adolf Hitler’s infamous Mein Kampf. He does so to highlight the fatal errors Hitler was making even then, which he sees being repeated across certain rising sectors of the American and Western Right today. Join him for another hard-hitting episode that makes abundantly clear why Never Again is now.

Dear Sociologist,
YES.. It is an extremely tedious way to mess up the world… but that doesn’t stop the malevolent individuals in power.. nor the millions who slavishly obey their masters
I particularly liked your phrase “globalist style fascism” I’m going to use that if you don’t mind in future writings..
One thing you touched on in your post is stakeholderism.. which is not spoken of near enough.. as it is dominating corporations and nations
James Lindsay had an excellent podcast on stakeholder ism and I learned something. I did not know that it was the Nazis in 1937 that introduced this…
Except by the WEF and Klaus Schwab.. who just happens to be the son of a Nazi..
Anyway, I have read your several of your posts and I’ve always enjoyed them. You’re extremely well informed and far more educated than I am…
So I always learn something when I read them.
I don’t know if you know James Lindsay in person, but I’m sure you would have very good conversations and he should have you on his podcast..
Part 1
And I’m going to reach back in time to Germany at the turn of the 20th century as a preview of how we’re going to end up with a one world government and what it’s going to resemble..
First, I have to give you a snapshot of what Germany was like before 1933..
don’t know how many people are aware, but the Weimar Republic was dominated by the SPD.. socialist democratic party.. they were communists..
And it should be noted that the communist part..then as now.. are viciously anti-God, family, and life.. they thrive on perversion, corruption and evil..
German author Erich Kästner, writing of Weimar Berlin, was to reflect on the topography of the soul sickness that had now taken possession of the once proud city: “In the east there is crime; in the center the con men hold sway; in the north resides misery, in the west lechery; and everywhere—THE DECLINE
German author Stephan Zweig has much to say about homosexuality, pointing out that even in Ancient Rome—where fourteen of the first fifteen Roman emperors were homosexual—the degree of drunken depravity and public shamelessness was far less shocking than in Weimar Berlin:
Bars, amusement parks, honky-tonks sprang up like mushrooms. Along the entire Kurfürstendamm powdered and rouged men sauntered and they were not all professionals; every high school boy wanted to earn some money and in the dimly lit bars one might see government officials and men of the world of finance tenderly courting drunken sailors without any shame.
Even the Rome of Suetonius had never known such orgies as the pervert balls of Berlin, where hundreds of men costumed as women and hundreds of women as men danced under the benevolent eyes of the police. In the collapse of all values a kind of madness gained hold. Young girls bragged proudly of their perversion; to be sixteen and still under suspicion of virginity would have been a disgrace.
The impression, is that Weimar Germany can be seen as a trial run or dress rehearsal for the Sexual Revolution of the 1960s, a revolution in attitudes and behavior that was to convulse America and then spread like a moral virus to Europe and the rest of the world
It is my own hypothesis that the Germans were to be the initial guinea pigs of these Cultural Marxists . These were revolutionaries intent on complete social control by the imposition of their Marxist worldview on the rest of society. It is self-evident that there is no other way to get control of a society with strong moral values than to weaken those values. The formula is simple: destroy the belief system on which that society is founded, especially its religion and its traditional codes of honor and decency. Promote godlessness and a philosophy of despair. To put it in even plainer language: reduce men to beasts if you wish to control them.
It was George Lukács, one of the founding fathers of the Frankfurt School, a truly evil institute that came to America in 1935 in conjunction with Columbia University, to spread their filth into our educational institutions, who had called for “a culture of pessimism and a world abandoned by God.” And it was one of their most fanatical ideologues, Willi Munzenberg , who had said he wanted to turn the world upside down and make life a hell on earth. His exact words:
We must organize the intellectuals and use them to make Western civilization stink! Only then, after they have corrupted all its values and made life impossible, can we impose the dictatorship of the proletariat.
With intellectuals like this at the helm, doing their utmost to promote moral anarchy and create an Orwellian dystopia, is it any wonder that the Germans went helter-skelter down the slippery slope and ended up where they did?
Exactly what we were seeing in our educational institutions, particularly our universities.. by pseudo intellectuals posing as educators, but in fact are communist activists..
In America the Cultural Marxists were to apply a variation of their Weimar techniques, but refined and honed to a high degree. This time, they would use multiculturalism as a weapon of mass destruction in addition to moral corruption. They would flood the country with immigrants, legal as well as illegal. They would turn race against race (engineered ethnic conflict), parent against child (attack on authority), and man against woman (radical feminism). Above all, they would teach the non-White races to regard the White race as the ultimate evil: “the cancer of human history”, to quote a prominent feminist Susan Sontag.
What did the cultural Marxists learn from Weimar Germany?
They learned that the Sexual Revolution, in order to succeed, had to be a slow and gradual process. “Modern forms of subjection,” the Frankfurt School had learned, “are marked by mildness. The Weimar had failed because the pace had been too frenetic. People were aware they were being corrupted. That was fatal.
To corrupt a nation effectively one must make sure that the descent into degradation is an infinitely slow and imperceptible process, one miniscule step at a time— like the slow boil of a frog..
The same sickness that infected Germany is happening, not only in America, but all of western civilization.. as the evil of communism/collectivism has swept through societies..
Hitler’s rise to power was to combat this incredible evil that had infected German Society.. Hitler hated communism…The people were sick of all the perversion chaos and hyperinflation that was destroying German society..
I am not saying Hitler was a solution.. His pathology was to save his country, but then his megalomaniac aspirations was then to conquer the world and enforce his ideology on the rest of the world…
Part 2
And I believe Hitler would have succeeded if he had waited two more years to build his impressive war machine and his super weapons,.. I have no doubt if he had waited he would’ve acquired the atomic bomb first.. and if he had not challenged Russia and fought the war on two fronts.. but he hated communism so much that he couldn’t help himself..
The sane and rational people that still exist in western civilization have had enough of this corruption perversion, chaos, and misery being foisted upon society by radical left communists that dominate the Democrat party.. and I see a populist movement against this evil..
It’s worth noting that the SPD party in Germany, that again rose to power, it seems people just never learn ..that has been running Germany into the ground for the last few decades was soundly defeated last week.. with the right gaining more seats..
Of course, with the coalitions that they form in their parliamentary government the SPD still has a lot of power.. but you see a movement by the right to get rid of these communists.. and their open borders perversion that has dominated their society.. and nationalism is on the rise..
And I want to reiterate nationalism is not a bad thing. It is people that love their country and do not want to see it destroyed by illegal immigration and the destruction of the family and by extension western civilization by targeting our children by truly evil psychopathic fanatics.
The radical left communists in this country and in western civilization only know destruction.. they create chaos, misery, divisiveness, and hatred to overthrow an existing society..
We are witnessing this happening all around us…
Germany was experiencing the same sickness that we have been witnessing.. for these past decades , perversion, corruption inflation open borders.. and their solution was to stop the madness.. unfortunately it went too far.
.
So my epiphany is, I believe the right is going to rise and that Satan utilized the left to make the world so insane so corrupt that when the right starts to assert itself the sane and rational people that exist are going to be so happy that they will jump on that bandwagon and crush destroy these communists…
So it is my belief that as the right rises in other countries there’s going to be this massive push to bring sanity to the world. It’s also going to bring authoritarianism and tyranny, but people are gonna be so happy to not have to deal with this absolute madness .. brought on by psychopathic fanatic communists as planned by Satan..they won’t care… the people of Germany in 1933 were so happy to have Hitler come to power who brought a bankrupt nation into prosperity during the great depression who challenged the Versailles treaty to build the greatest war machine ever seen.
The people were given their dignity back and prosperity back and eliminated all of the madness perpetrated by sick radical left communists.. He blamed the Jews and in some cases he was right Karl Marx Frank Engles the founders of communism, derived from the teachings of Frederick Hagel, all Jews.. but I believe there were Jews in name only..
Jesus said that there were some who call themselves Jews, but were not were part of the synagogue of Satan.. I believe Satan loves to use Jews to further his agenda. It’s a slap in God‘s face
I used to believe that it was communism that was going to usher in the antichrist. I no longer believe that..I believe it is the right who are more moral more aligned with sanity that people will be happy to join because their lives will be better, but it’s just the other side of the same coin ..
Scripture said in the end that things will be so wonderful that it could even deceive the elect..
Even I will love crushing these communist that have destroyed our society, but I have to be careful in realizing that I could be just cheering the controlled opposition..
Argentina, Italy, some Scandinavian countries, and now America are rising up against this evil.. Solomon was right.. there is nothing new under the sun.. I have no easy answer.. but I do know that God and scripture are the greatest bulwark against evil.. and those that are grounded in both.. will have no fear..
And I’m going to reach back in time to Germany at the turn of the 20th century as a preview of how we’re going to end up with a one world government and what it’s going to resemble..

You’re missing a key point of the goal to destroy Western Civilization.
If people understood the roots of Jew hatred and what it means for Christians and everyone else, there would be a more strident pushback.
The fact that we received God’s Divine Revelation at Mount Sinai – the Torah (613 commandments) and the Decalogue for the Israelites and the Seven Noahide Laws for the Gentiles – and the fruits of that became the foundation for Western Civilization – legal codes, ethics, morality – is very significant.
The Islamists, globalists and Leftists want to destroy individual rights, freedom, private property and deny God’s existence. They realize that that can only occur if they first destroy the Jews.
Jews will always be targeted because of our “chosenness,” which is really a responsibility to be the disseminator of God’s commandments to the world. The commandments given to the Israelites have shaped the distinct values of the West, which is now crumbling as people disobey God’s word.
He made a promise to the Jews to protect us as long as we follow his commandments. Thus, we are the ONLY people who have survived millennia of persecution, often at great cost.
To think that this verse from Genesis (1:27, 28) is controversial today: “So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. And God blessed them, and God said to them, ‘Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the air and over every living thing that moves upon the earth.”
It’s interesting to note that many of the Founders were philo-Semites who admired Jewish culture, history, legal traditions and moral teachings. Several maintained that it was more important to study the Hebrew Bible than the Christian one. John Adams called the Jews “the most essential Instrument for civilizing the Nations.” During the Continental Congress, certain members of Congress proposed that English be prohibited in the U.S. and Hebrew substituted for it.
Quote from John Adams:
“I believe that the Hebrews have done more to civilize men than any other nation. If I were an atheist and believed in blind eternal fate, I should still believe that fate had ordained the Jews to be the most essential instrument for civilizing the nations. If I were an atheist of the other sect, who believe or pretend to believe that all is ordered by chance, I should believe that chance had ordered the Jews, to preserve and propagate to all mankind, the doctrine of a Supreme intelligent wise almighty Sovereign of the Universe, which I believe to be the greatest essential principle of morality and consequently of Civilization.”
I would highly recommend the work of Professor Francisco Gil-White, a non-Jew who was fired from the University of Pennsylvania for supporting Israel.
