The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Ep. 182
What was the underlying structure of politics in the Third Reich, and what bearing did this view of politics have on the unfolding Nazi Experiment? In this episode of the New Discourses Podcast, host James Lindsay continues this sprawling series on Nazism, showing not just that it was a disaster but also why it was a disaster. In this episode, he presents the politics of Carl Schmitt, which informed and meshed with the Nazi totalitarian program at its deepest levels. Lindsay presents some of Schmitt’s famous The Concept of the Political (1932) to set the stage and then presents a short essay by Schmitt from 1936 simply titled “Politics” that leaves little doubt that his politics were Nazi politics, and Nazi politics were his politics. The relationship to the politics of Maoism, discussed elsewhere on the podcast, are also made clear. Join him for this eye-opening look into the Nazi political world, which is particularly alarming given the Woke Right effort to mainstream Schmitt in conservative politics today.

The woke right, imo, is the EXACT opposite of what Lindsay claims. It is the oppressive state power invoked to support the Israeli regime, keep the Zionists in control of American politics, and maintain the genocide in Gaza, while pushing for Eretz Israel.
The woke right in Britain is actually arresting people for protesting against Israel, calling it anti-Semitism and saying it is a hate-speech issue.
Remember when the woke left used the hate speech rubric to suppress free speech.
SAME PLAYBOOK. Sad as f* to see Lindsay flipping to being a woke right pawn.
“Jawohl, mein Führer!”
The Grand Mufti of Jersalem during WW2 was Hitler’s biggest fan and couldn’t wait till the war ended when Hitler promised him Germany would help build extermination camps in the middle east to kill their Jews, too.
PLO leader Yasser Arafat was a protege of the Mufti.
