How To Stop Fascism: History Ideology Resistance: Interview with Paul Mason
Like to know what Paul thinks now, after November 2024 😬
Not even a bit surprised that Paul Mason hasn't the faintest idea what a fascist is.
Thank you for such an informative interview on this disturbing subject.
THIS IS A ""STUDIO INTERVIEW""",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,BORING ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
The Armenian Empire claimed that their's was the first Christian state.
Her first points are very Daniel Khaneman - Thinking Fast and Slow, I think. She makes a light reference
I commented too early lol
Ok yeah we get it but what do we do?
Roger is such a charming man and his passion for the detail shines through. Please have him on for his latest book!
Isn't saying "There is no objective truth" a truth claim? Nihilism wants only one objective truth; that there is no objective truth, to prove that truth is subjective!
Clearly, this guy is programmed by scientific approach.
Great interview 👍🏻👍🏻✊🏼✊🏼
Thank you very much for sharing with us this information.
The thing with conspiracy theories is that they're right in principle, but wrong in detail. We're not being told the truth by the media, but the truth is much more nuanced and complicated than any conspiracy theory.
How did Lenin and Stalin come to power eventually killing and starving to death 25 million Russians?
When Black/Brown people speak up against Racism, Colonism, Empire, Slavery, Reparations this angers white people
Awesome discussion. Extremely relevant.
I'm reading Constantinople The Last Great Siege 1453 for the second time.I live in İstanbul and am currently visiting the sites mentioned in the book.Thank you for a great podcast
Respect for the genius Ian Stewart. My favourite author. 🎉
Manifest Destiny simply got a dusting off, if anything at all.
PERSIAN LANGUAGE AND CULTURE IS RICH . I T HAS INFLUENCED ALL THE WAY TO THE BALKANS E. EUROPE TO CENTRAL ASIA TO THE BORDERS OF CHINA. PERSIAN IS WHAT FRENCH WAS TO EUROPE. DO YOU WANDER WAY IRANIANS ARE A PROUD PEOPLE'S????!!!!!!...... THEY KNOW THEY HAVE A RICH HISTORY AND CULTURE....... AFGHANISTAN WAS A PART OF IRAN IT WAS ONE OF THE STATES IT WAS CALLED ARYANA. AZARBAJAYN WAS ALSO IRANIAN TERRITORY.
COMMUNIST BS!!!!!!!!...... UTOPIA PIPE DREAM = SOVIET GULAG!!!!!!!!........
True we as humans just demand meaning UT the truth is that we live a lie and enjoy it.😂
The City of London and Wall St of New York, like the Two Towers of Orthanc and Barad Dur, bringing oppression and misery to the world. I came to the same conclusion as Oliver a long time ago as well. Interestingly, now, the purpose of Brexit has been to accelerate the transformation of the UK into a sort of "Elysium" space station ( like in the dystopian film with Matt Damon and Jodie Foster ) for oligarchs, plutocrats, aristocrats and rich crooks. A place out of the reach of regulation and fiscality, but with the west end restaurants and clubs, Ascot, Wimbledon, Glyndebourne, the grouse moors, the great golf links, and the country houses where you can play lord of the manor. And all the time, the white shoe law firms and private banks in the City to hoover the globe for your rents and dividends. And, what's more, the cap-doffing, lickspittle, Daily Mail reading plebs in the shire backwaters to be convincing housekeepers, butlers, gamekeepers, stableboys, waiters and dogsbodies.
I guess the guy with the rude comment didn't read it. Charming book actually.
I LOVE IT,IF IT IS POSSIBLE YOU COULD INTERVIEU FRANCESC,WELL DONE
Thank you ❤ I really appreciate this discussion
Such an appalling book.
Great interviewer and interviewee
Found this book through my local library. But what I really loved in this interview was when he said (along the lines) that although our expectations should be grounded in reality, quite often our expectations are needlessly negative. That is a really powerful concept. Thanks for a great interview. Subscribed.
Every talking about is 100% true! God bless
High value content. Thank you both!
Great Pod, Oliver is a great interviewee, the interviewer hardly has to say a word :)
Have just started reading this book and cannot wait to continue. Bringing in Socrates, Plato and Aristotle is so good, for Economics, what makes it as it is, is about how we (are obliged to) think and exist, as if we are part of some way of thinking and being that has its base in Greek city states, with all of their layering, their tiers, of bronze, silver and gold. So, some things have not evolved at all. Thank you. Mr. N Kishtainy is a very good writer.

That's if it isn't nuced by then
I hope London implodes.!
They all are dirty pigs, they need to be got rid of
5what is the purpose of this podcast, what are we going to do about this situation. I feel very irritated that the little person is getting treated like these big time crooks!
We need a French Revolution to get rid of this mess. It's discussing how it's all got out of control the little poeple suffer. AGAIN!! WHERE DO we go from here?
great interview!!👍
Just a pity he jumped on the bandwagon with all the other BBC cronies, becoming ideological, and politicising his work.
Andrew is the reason I have spent my retirement going to see every single Caravaggio in Europe
Omg what a fun endeavour! I have seen 24 of his works. How many have you seen so far? Which is your favourite?
great podcast
Read, enjoyed and was informed by the book; enjoyed the video; thanks to you both! But what strikes me is that Aun could have stepped from a Caravaggio painting! Just a little more directional lighting, and 17th century clothing, and he'd have stepped back into it.
Andrew is a great presenter, writer and entertainer. I hope he presents more Shows in the future. I am so use to seeing him with black hair and a little younger, from watching his shows on The madness of vermeer snd Who killed caravaggio. lol. i hate seeing him vape though. it’s so unhealthy
Wet nurse in Settignano, not Cararra..... Wrong: Pontormo's San Lorenzo frescos were destroyed for unorthodox religious connotations around 1738, not by fire. Check your facts.
Richard you have been milking AZ Taxpayers far too long ( since 1975 ? when we first met ) w/ your trivial revelations that are known to even school children in India. Medieval Persia was a refined culture as was Ottoman Turkey. You are an admirer of Persia as that was your first exposure to the non Christian world, your “first love” so to say. But your normalization of Islamic invasion, occupation, destruction and domination of Hindu / Buddhist India and the denigration of Hindus in a school boyish Zero Sum game is offensive & unacceptable. Grow up, you are in your 80s now ! Admit freely that Persian influence came to India on the backs of brutal Muslim invaders from Afghanistan and C. Asia to who Persia represented excellence. Of course Persians themselves in the form of Nadir Shah came to collect and looted the Kohinoor. When it comes to Hindus you are the US equivalent of the Holocaust denier David Irving Back in 1975 You would have gotten thrown out of every University in the West if you I had challenged you to a Public Debate on Campus but you had squirmed away. Now that you have somehow gotten your Tenure, you should be a bit more confident and accept my Challenge. You would have gotten thrown out of evonline first
I first met Eaton at Parties in 1975 when he was an Asst Prof at the UofA Oriental Studies Dept. The foundation of his academic career has been accidentally discovering the connection between Persia and India, which is typical of a lazy, dilettante & immature Undergrad in the Lib Arts, What I had told both Richard and Bob Varady ( another ignorant Parasite & Academic Moocher ) at that Party was that their revelations were known to even school children in India. What Indians know most about Iran is the brutal invasion of N. India by Nadir Shah the Persian warlord who massacred of Richard is a dilettante ( like most Undergrads in Lib Arts in the US ) and an accidental scholar ( by virtue of his family having lived there ) who would have been drummed out of a more serious Dept., e,g. the Sciences His normalization of Muslim invasion & domination of Hindus is arrogant, irresponsible and despicable.Had he been doing that about the Nutsee occupation of Europe, he would have been drummed out of the entire US Academia long ago. Remember what happened to David Irving of UK for Holocaust denial. As someone from MI you are now subject to the Frontier Justice of AZ
I couldn't listen to all of that. But do hope you talked about when Michelangelo was asked by the board, "What are your qualifications", to which the said applicant asked for a piece of chalk, and on a large table drew a large circle, into which he placed a dot in the centre of the drawn circle; then replied, "That is my qualification". They all came out from their chairs, looked at the rendered circle, and called for some calipers. One of the men placed one point of the calipers on the centre dot, put the other point on the line of the circle then proceeded to trace the said line...it traced the said line perfectly, with not the slightest deviation. The board was very impressed and taken aback. I don't know what was said after that, or how long their decision took, but I would say it was inside ten seconds when the No: 1 son said, "Your hired"!
This random Paul has no clue what he is talking about. Fasc ism had nothing to do with right wing of any kind whatsoever. It was a totalitarian far-left, soci alist ideology based on national syndicalism and Hegelian philosophy. It rejected individualism, capitalism, liberalism/democracy, and mar xism, in which the means of production was organized by national worker syndicals (i.e. trade unions), and the guiding philosophy of the state was Actual Idealism. The fundamental differences between left-wing and right-wing ideologies center around the the rights of individuals vs. the power of the government. Left-wing beliefs are (modern) liberal in that they believe society is best served with an expanded role for the government. People on the right believe that the best outcome for society is achieved when individual rights and civil liberties are paramount and the role - and especially the power - of the government is minimized. Fasci sm was an outgrowth of Sorellian Syndicalism, which itself was an outgrowth from Ma rxist social ism. The idea was that society would be consolidated (i.e., incorporated) into syndicates (in the Italian context, fascio/fasci) which would be regulated by and serve as organs for the state, or "embody" the state (corpus = body). The purpose wasn't the promotion of private interest, but the centralization and synchronization of society under the state, as an end unto itself. To quote Mussolini's infamous aphorism: "All within the state, nothing outside the state, nothing against the state." Also fas cism had nothing to do with H itler and his national sociali sm. That was a completely separate so cialist ideology.
I love that you spent the time and effort to lie so Fucking hard. And you have historia in your name, the fucking irony.
And therefore… it’s ok? Fascism is still terrible and aligns with conservative movements despite its origins. See Hitler’s plurality coalition before the reichstag fire. He worked with the hardest of hard right. Mussolini felt communism betrayed the nation and tradition by its commitment to internationalism and social tolerance. Fascism is a right wing ideology in practice rather than origin.
He's a journalist not a sociologist or political scientist or trained historian (as far as I know.) You've made a good point about theory, but this would go over his head.
@@nightoffbaldman _" love that you spent the time and effort to lie so Fucking hard. "_ What lies exactly? You need to cope harder than that, and while you are coping, go read some basic WW2 era history.
@@jackgerig8910 _"And therefore… it’s ok?"_ Of course not. All socialist and collectivist ideologies are bad.
