The Empire Never Ended

45: Henry Ford, the Original American Fascist


Listen Later

In their first episode of this third arc, Fritz introduces daddy of America and total Nazi prick, Henry Ford, to TENE's rogues' gallery. They take a look at Fordism as basically Taylorism on amphetamines plus with a private army of spies and thugs to keep labor in line. Fritz describes Henry Ford's bizarre schemes to Americanize his immigrant labor force as well as a little colony in Brazil called Fordlandia. But that's not all! The crew then looks at Ford's rabid anti-Semitism and adoration - even financial and industrial support - of the Nazi war machine as well as Hitler's crush on Henry. Of course, Fritz opens up Ford's infamous two-year Anti-Semitic rant, The International Jew, and Rey elucidates its surprising links to the Christian Identity movement. No episode would be complete without a glance at Ford's cronies, however, so TENE introduces homicidal Harry Bennet and his Henchmendersons, Christian Identity progenitor Bill Cameron, spymaster Ernest Liebold, and Nazi envoy Kurt Lüdecke to their roster of assholes. sound effects from freesound.org bossa nova song from the always fun fesliyanstudios.com

This is The Empire Never Ended, the Antifascist Amerikanski-Balkan podcast about (neo) fascist terror, the (deep) state and the alienation, nihilism and desperation produced by the capitalist system. And how to get rid of all that. Something like that...
