What Is Fascism?

Richard B. Spencer — Fri, 03 Jan 2014 06:57:35 +0000

"Fascism" is everywhere and nowhere. It's "everywhere" in the sense that this social and political movement from the first half of the 20th century is still used as a label for, among other things, liberal regulators, opponents of gay marriage, and pure evil. Fascism is "nowhere" in the sense that no one seems able to offer a definition of what exactly it is.

Paul Gottfried joins Richard try to define it. They discuss whether fascism can be reduced to economic or political policies or whether it is best understood as a style or spirit. They also ask what inspiration the contemporary non-aligned Right can find in this almost universally denounced political movement.

Andy, Colin, Richard, and special guest John Morgan go in for a bit of the old ultra-violence in a discussion of Stanley Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange (1971). Can one truly be moral without the capacity for rape and mayhem? Is "Alex Delarge" simply a sociopath and thug . . . or an avatar of the übermensch in an egalitarian age?

The recent "N Word" controversy in the National Football League underscores many unspoken anxieties in contemporary sports; these include the dominance of African-Americans in America's pastime, as well as the degree to which national and regional identities are defined by teams comprised of thugs and criminals.

George Zimmerman is not guilty, yet he will never be free. And though the Zimmerman case is officially closed, America will likely never be free of Trayvon Martin.

Is the film subversive and "paleoconservative," in that it sympathetically depicts Americans escaping the 21st century in favor of an older, more traditional and innocent way of life?

Richard Spencer — Mon, 11 Feb 2013 03:21:00 +0000

Journalist and "wandering European" Roman Bernard joins Richard, Andy, and Colin to discuss France's promising new youth group "Génération Identitaire." The conservation then transitions to the importance of "generations" in the traditionalist Right. Below the surface, groups like GI aren't so rebelling against a Muslim invasion as the generation of 1968.

Audio Note:

For reasons that are still unclear, a crackling sound appears on the recording whenever I (Richard) speak. I've run the file through noise-reducing software, which has improved matters, though the recording is still not ideal. I don't want to do any greater noise reduction, since this subtracts information from the overall sound wave and, eventually, makes the entire recording inaudible.

I apologize. The problem will be fixed before next week's program. ~RS

Mainstream political commentators have suddenly discovered Comte's axiom that "Demography is destiny." Peter Brimelow beat them to it by more than a decade.
