This is not a historical narrative of any particular fascist regime or regimes.  Instead, it’s an exploration of what fascism — arguably the most slippery of modern “isms” to define — really is.

Join Prof CJ as he discusses:

•  Some quotes from the father of Fascism, Benito Mussolini, to get things started
• Why fascism is tougher to nail down than other isms
• What fascism is and isn’t, including some criticism of the standard “Left-to-Right” political spectrum
• A look at some of the defining elements of fascism, using John T. Flynn’s As We Go Marching (1944) as a starting point
• An excerpt from the Nazi Party’s platform dealing with their economic planks, and possible American parallels
• A few words on fascism post-World War II

Is there a New Counterculture movement?  If so, what is it?  Can we define it, or at least describe it?  Might you be a part of it, even if in a small way, even if you don’t realize it?

Join Prof CJ as he discusses:

• Why cultural, artistic, and/or intellectual movements are often hard to identify without hindsight (either after they’ve fizzled out entirely, or at least jumped the shark)
• What the Old Counterculture was, and its problems
• Defining what the New Counterculture is (as CJ sees it) by describing a nonexistent, archetypal New Counterculturalist individual in terms of his or her age, religiosity, career, political views, lifestyle, etc.
• CJ’s take on the degree to which he himself (at least somewhat) fits the mold
• Reasons why the New Counterculture has more potential to achieve lasting, positive change

Finally back (and recovered!) from the trip to Ireland, so the DHP returns with a listener emails episode.

Join CJ as he discusses:

• A few words about his recent trip to Ireland
• Thoughts on Islam
• SJW’s vs. the Alt. Right
• Parallels between the present-day US and Weimar Republic Germany
• The tendency of elites to want to deprive the lower orders of comfort and luxury items, even in cases where doing so will bring them (the elites) no real material gain
• Potential windows of opportunity for anti-interventionists to have changed Team America’s foreign policy path in the early- and mid-twentieth century
• The Austrian school of economics & money

Thanks to listeners Skip, Dicon, Jeff, Brett, and Justin for the questions!
