Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Hayek's bastards w/ Quinn Slobodian
Q: Would you say that at least for the earlier work with Hayek and people who were more true to his thought, that their position allows them to repudiate Nazi race science?
Yes, Hayek and others can repudiate Nazi race science while still employing certain cultural arguments that hint at racial divisions, allowing them to navigate complex political landscapes in different historical contexts.
Hayek's bastards w/ Quinn Slobodian
Q: Could you say something on this core argument of the book and where you disagree with a lot of commentary on the new right?
The new right emerges from within neoliberalism, not as a critique but as an adaptation that continues to align with certain neoliberal principles while rejecting others, especially in the context of global economic frameworks.
Whither the Democrats? w/ Natasha Lennard
Q: Can you talk about Gavin Newsom's approach and how it's indicative of the broader Democratic strategy?
Newsom's approach of reaching out to far-right figures like Charlie Kirk signifies a troubling acceptance of far-right ideas as part of the mainstream discourse and diminishes the impact of the Democratic Party's positions on civil rights.
Whither the Democrats? w/ Natasha Lennard
Q: How would you characterize the Democrats' position and what their strategy seems to be for how they might achieve success in the midterms and how they might win back the presidency in 2028?
The Democratic establishment is failing to attend to the struggles of working people, which is one reason they lost, and they continue to punch left while lacking a significant opposition to the far-right escalation.
Excerpt - Richard Seymour on Luigi Mangione
Q: What parallels might be drawn to other periods and places where assassination was a common political tactic?
Such acts have historically signified a lack of political organization and were symptomatic of deeper societal struggles, as suggested by Hobsbawm in his discussions of social bandits.
