New Discourses

A tour of how large societies coordinate the work of strangers using incentives and markets. Short examples like making a pencil and a cheeseburger show why many people must cooperate. Three coordination methods are compared: incentives, coercion, and social engineering. The limits of central planning and why profit and property rights channel problem-solving are highlighted.

A close reading of Hitler's argument that a nation is more than an economic zone. The discussion traces Nazi claims linking race, collectivism, and economic life. It draws parallels between interwar propaganda and modern nationalist reactions. The segment warns against replacing liberty with racial collectivist remedies.

A concise tour of the legal history behind Jewish immigration to Palestine, from Ottoman rule through the British Mandate and San Remo decisions. Topics include land purchases, mandate provisions like the Balfour Declaration, immigration waves and restrictions, the 1947 UN partition plan, 1948 fighting and territorial changes, and ongoing legal versus moral debates about settlement legitimacy.

A deep dive into Alfred Rosenberg's racial mythology and its roots in Ariosophy and Theosophy. A look at how the Aryan–Jew binary and claims of Nordic science shaped a pseudo-traditional worldview. Traces of 19th-century science, cultural upheaval, and calls for racial rebirth and purity are explored. Parallels to modern movements and warnings about ideology-forming technologies are noted.

A clear look at how virtues like honor and heroism get reshaped into tools of totalitarian power. Short analyses compare fascist and Nazi demands for self-sacrifice, nationalized honor, and perpetual struggle. The conversation traces propaganda aesthetics and how art and rhetoric glorify conquest and a manufactured moral code.

A deep dive into the Nazi Myth of the Blood and how race-based ideology was constructed and propagated. Close readings of Alfred Rosenberg’s writings reveal the intellectual scaffolding behind racial myths. The discussion traces how these ideas aimed to rewrite history and infuse racial thinking into the foundations of society.

A look at how fascist ideologies misuse appeals to Nature to justify brutality and eugenics. Contrasts between Mussolini’s Catholic-inflected fascism and Nazi racial theory are explored. The show examines how calls for a “natural” order feed perpetual struggle, racial warfare, and projects to purify humanity.

A deep dive into what corporatism really meant to early fascists, tracing the word back to the Latin for body. The conversation reframes political power as a single social organism with the state as its brain and people as cells. It explores how dissent becomes an immune reaction and how duty and national unification override individuality.

A close reading of Federalist 51 and its argument for divided powers and institutional checks. Exploration of how ambition, competing interests, and a compound republic guard liberty. Discussion of judiciary independence, legislative structure, and why a large republic resists unjust majorities. A contemporary tie to how factional capture threatens pluralism.

A provocative take that reframes fascism as an ultra-progressive project rather than merely reactionary. It contrasts fascism with communism and critiques left–right labels. The discussion traces mythic nationalism, blood-and-soil ideas, eugenics and spiritual evolutionism. It offers new metaphors for political mapping and coins the term 'woke nationalism'.
