Me and Sebbe are still trying to patch together a transition episode from the 19th century which we have now been discussing for more than a month as well as the more contemporary mess that is to come during the inter-war period of the building up of the Swedish State Institute for Racial Biology.
The transition in question involves the imperialist philosophy of irrationalism and vitalism, represented above all others by Nietzsche, as the Bourgeoisie, after the 71 Paris commune, finds itself being utterly incapable of intellectually dealing with the new question of the organised proletariat and opt out for a more barbaric and primitive interpretation of the Aryan Myth.
It also sees the birth of Nordism and the pop-literary production of teenage idols for Hitler, Himmler and Rosenberg during their youth in the form of Scandinavian explorers.
Sebbe is reading old travel journals of these proud grave robbers and I'm going through blond and blue eyed reason-for-sterilisation-journals of the 30s, If all goes well we will release this episode next weekend.
In the meantime please make due with this very entertaining conversation I had with Fergal of the Kingless Generation Podcast last year, which he has been kind enough to allow me to post here as well. Please check out his podcast it is an absolute gem for those real heads interested in the deep history of class struggle and paleo-parapolitics.
