Interview with Gary Null, June 13, 2024
Many thanks to Gary Null for inviting me to appear on The Progresive Commentary Hour. We discussed:
- continuities between the political economy of 1930s Nazi Germany and the political economy of the West since 2020;
- emergency powers and the incremental legislation of totalitarianism;
- the attack on the working and middle classes;
- the production of ideological conformity;
- the failure of the professions to challenge power;
- euthanasia and eugenics;
- health surveillance, ecopolitics, hijacking conscience;
- discontinuities between the two eras;
- the preference of the transnational ruling class for totalitarianism in moments of acute capitalist crisis;
- the plan to roll out Chinese-style technocracy in the West;
- the “Covid-19” operation;
- the “gain of function” narrative as an element of perception management;
- technocracy and the Internet of Things;
- Sheldon Wolin’s notion of “inverted totalitarianism”; and
- the role of the media in Nazi Germany and today.
