Panel VI | Cross-National Comparison and Transnational Actors
Around the world today, anti-democratic and anti-liberal political formations are gaining influence, and sometimes even state power. They should not be treated as isolated cases or even regional phenomena, but rather as part of an international trend wherein illiberal actors are increasingly finding common cause with one another to affect their strategic aims and political preferences both at home and abroad. Through inter-party and interpersonal relationships, conferences, and caucuses, the international illiberal movement is increasingly looking beyond the narrow scope of national interests to form stronger movements that result in both intellectual and material assistance to each other. On October 24 and 25, 2024, we hosted an exciting two-day conference to discuss this growing trend.

    Very interesting. I'd say it missed three other elements: It is disgustingly authoritarian. It feeds and promotes nativism, xenophobia, homophobia and, to an extent, misogyny. It is efficient in its use of liberal fundamentals (freedom of expression and association, vote, law) to advance and get to the power, where then creates laws that further promote it.

    "and the geopoliticization of identity are now dominant frames in the burgeoning far-right"... uh, remind me again who has been shifting the Western frame from seeing people as individuals to accusing people of being oppressors on the basis of their skin color and gender starting in 2014 when people were cool with each other? And wielding the power to censor, fire them, and destroy their lives for pushing back on the slanderous and cult-like accusations? The past decade has regressed in relations between races, cultures, genders due to this. It wasn't like this in 2010. People were cool with each other back then. It doesn't take an "intellectual" to put down the 50 year old leftist revolution literature and look out the window at reality. If you wanted to resurrect your political boogeyman from the dead, I can't think of a better way than this decade of this leftist authoritarian gaslighting.

    So, it's clear enough: these are fascist thinkers. So then one has to get to the root if this kind of thinking? What makes it so appealing to liberal-democrats that they can't even see what is fascist in it? And even when it is put right in front of them, it passes their sniff test. Or put backwards: what is fascist in philosophy? What is fascist in liberal democratic thinking? It is this idea of the nation, the people, along with the idea of history being a deadly struggle between civilizations/peoples/races which represent distinct worldviews or cultures. This idea itself was already a mainstay of liberal thinking in the 18th and 19th centuries, especially in its ideas about colonialism or eugenics. Even today, the liberal narrative about America carrying out a providential humanitarian mission to make the world safe for "Western values" and "human rights" stinks of the racialist thinking of yesterday. The idea that some peoples are too immature and need guidance. It's the same corpse dressed in the clothing of liberty, equality and fraternity. It is not some crude biological reductionism, but a spiritual-idealistic cultural racism convinced that it is fate or destiny itself that gives the USA the right to world supremacy.

    The 'uneducated' masses of Europe want their nation-states, to be less ethnic 'melting-pots' and more of a homegrown, homogenous stew. Their liberal 'educated' elites think they're just being fascists. But European educated liberal elites have always hated their uneducated, masses for being culturally conservative. Yet this is all theatre... As the real reason for mass immigration in the West, is 'Capitalism needs to feed' itself. It needs more consumers buying more stuff. Otherwise it dies. Open borders is desperately needed to keep the wealth, for the super wealthy flowing. Its needs fresh converts. The uneducated masses realise that immigrants come to the West. for the perceived wealth of the Capitalist system itself. Not for the nations cultural heritage, traditions or values. Capitalism's desperate hunger destroys the delicate fabric of their society. It produces unsustainable amounts of societal anxiety and unrest. The educated liberals love of feeling sanctimonious is used. by the Capitalist entrepreneurs to push their society in the direction, Capitalists need it to go. The liberal cultural elites shield themselves, with the self-righteous feeling of helping the 'oppressed' whilst gaining, from the wealth it makes for them. It's a win-win scenario. That it annoys and even frightens the 'uneducated' masses, that they feel are immutably conservative... is a wonderful little bonus for them. Any political voice the uneducated masses can muster... is immediately labelled far-right. Because 'far-right' is the enemy of Capitalism... it's their ultimate enemy. It is the only ideological enemy to be taken seriously. Its only threat.

    As a gay, left-leaning liberal, I cannot understand what looks to me like willful blindness on your part with regard to the artificial expansion of the gay rights movement to the meaningless 'LGBTQ+' thing. To a lot of people, this isn't some nefarious 'wedge issue' being 'exploited' by the right, it's that the right are the only people who are responding to their concerns. This includes many gay people and many, many women. I have a great deal of sympathy with their objections and share many of them. For instance, the harm that comes to young people who fall under the influence of gender ideology (and anticipating an objection, it *is* ideological). These young people are overwhelmingly gay and/or autistic. Identifying as 'trans' often ushers them onto a path of lifelong medicalisation, with sterilisation all but guaranteed if they use puberty blockers in conjunction with hormones, both of which have been used respectively for the chemical castration of sex offenders. This is appalling. Whatever way you look at it, it's appalling. It's also appalling to me that some pea-brained types now take my view on that as licence to say I'm some sort of fascist shill. I could go on about my objections to this garbage artifice, and how convenient it has been for rapacious neoliberals to commodify it, since the success of the gay movement has made it safe for them to do so; suffice it to say as a leftist, I hold people like *you* responsible for allowing this to get as far as it has. It's a complete abdication of responsibility, and it smacks of deep moral cowardice because there is no way anyone who is genuinely interested in what trans activism involves, the effects that it has and on whom, can claim to be unaware of how pernicious it is. It's infuriating.

    " The book demonstrates that mainstream politicians and intellectuals are at risk of losing control over the definitions of the very concepts, including equal rights, racial and ethnic diversity, and political tolerance, that undergird their vision of liberal democracy." The problem is that with wokeism the internal contradictions within mainstream liberalism have become apparent. You are " losing control" bsc your whole ideology has become intellectually inconsistent.

    Lol I actually am enjoying listening to this, though not for any of the reasons which the speakers would have intended. The idea that Heidegger's critique of the Cartesian model of the Ego on very technical phenomenological grounds directly leads in a slippery slope to the "post-truth" era and Trump's election in 2016 sounds like a spoof title you'd find if academic conferences had an equivalent of the Onion.
