It should be remembered that this was under the direct influence of nationalism. Which sort a new political settlement, for a long period of time the relationship of these groups to the state was feudal, they specific rights and obligations codified in relationship to the Crown, and were largely autonomous in practicality. Thus different groups of many different characters lived within the same national boundaries. Nationalism sort to standardise a lot of the regional distinctions, and in regards to the very large portion of minorities throughout many of these states the solutions were criminal. Russia operated the same way before communism, and Prussia had large Polish and Germanised Slavic populations. Basically the whole of eastern Europe was quite like the Balkans, but with people who had a long history of cooperation under a shared dynastic and religious framework. This is one of the lesser known issues with the spread of liberalism, the old kingdoms tried to enforce common identity and language, largely on the advice of whig reformers, but a dialect is very different from a language and the extensive freedoms and flexibilities of such states were exactly because they operated in very large part with the consent of the population, the communists would show exactly how enforcing such changes kills civil society and massively weakens the state itself despite modernisation, Russia a century ago could call on the loyalties of vast and diversely skilled populations, even after the massive weakening of such relationships by reforms undermining foundational social institutions, forced integration policies and the growth in a deeply flawed bureaucratic system increasingly taking over from autonomous powers which functioned rather than sticking to mismanagement in the centre (this was a major problem, the Cossacks were in major economic crisis by 1914 as a result of terribly thought out bureaucratic policies, likewise the logistical and support corps of the Russian army were the epicentre both of corruption and revolution, as it was made up of people who used connections for a cushy time in service). That Russia was still competitively a vastly more formidable a power than the one the Soviets left behind them, and that was at it's greatest crescendo of crisis. Austria-Hungary had never been brilliantly led, but it was still an established power and a leader in culture and fashion. It's path was far rosier than the one it's constituent people's ultimately experienced, or indeed the future all European are currently confronting.
None of the people occupied by so called austro hungarian empire asked to be part of the so called empire. They were forced to be part of it. Immigration from other parts of world into European countries can be directly attributed to brutal European colonialism and occupation and also strip mining of resources from the countries they occupied.
To get a bit pedantic, Hungarians are Magyars, not Slavs. A different language and language group, which is how one usually defines ethnicity in Europe.
@@TheImperatorKnight Just finished the video and it’s one of my top ten by you. You and James Lindsay help move the needle, which I value. In fact, this video includes information on a few subjects that tend to take time to advance. Coercion vs persuasion, the Jews (and others) and usury, the coming about of the NSDAP, relevant scripture and other documents, mysticism, hypocrisy, incentive structures (including perverse incentives), and there are more. It’s one of those videos I’ll be listening to multiple times for the personal significance. I’ve been studying a great amount of philosophy during these past several months. Your video on the life of Marx has been huge. Among other sources and a shift in my ability to make an impact in the United States, I unexpectedly began sharing ideas far more sparingly. I tend to offer ones that are either abstract or regarding morals, principles, or otherwise structural aspects of life and society. And they’re often novel. This is sometimes exciting and tempting for the potential, but I started to realize how great a tool is the internet for effecting change, and it was a couple of months of submitting little and pondering before I decided to take more caution about what I share and to study further. After all… people have been dealing with the various impacts of philosophers for a long while and not always have they been positive. Not trying to flatter myself. It’s rare that I comment on YT anymore, but it’s still my primary social media source. I’m not on much of anything else. But my reach has increased greatly. I just don’t want to make anything worse in an effort to achieve the opposite. Your content is great because you’re an ardent researcher, student, and teacher who’s responsible. Thx TIK
Food is not evil, but gluttony is. Childbearing is not evil, but fornication is. Money is not evil, but avarice is. Glory is not evil, but vainglory is. Indeed, there is no evil in existing things, but only in their misuse. St. Maximus the Confessor
If I have the time, I want to cover the entire history of the NSDAP in the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s, in a series of videos that go into detail like my Battlestorm series does. But doing this would take forever and a day.
@@TheImperatorKnight I was expecting to hear about El Alamien today, but this is fine. ;) Was there a Battalion within 30 miles of Alexandria? I heard there was but if so, it seems odd that Rommel would have a rare attack of common sense and pull them back. Also; any plans to cover Burma someday?
Regarding your comments about Christianity and money, etc at around the 1:02 mark, there’s some misunderstanding. 1) The Bible does not condemn money per se nor does it condemn hard or wise work pursuing it. It warns against the *love of it*; 2) When John talks about “the world” which we are not to love, he is not referring to the physical world nor the people and things in it. He is talking about the ethical world, the systems, values, and cultures around us. He is telling us not to be seduced or swayed from our faith by those influences; 3) Not sure where you get the idea that God in Christianity does not live in this plane. He very much does, and the Bible presents in great clarity God as omnipresent, and both transcendent and imminent. Pretty hard to read anything the Bible says about Jesus and the Holy Spirit in particular and miss that notion. I understand your critiques of altruism and your thesis linking revolutionary collectivism with frustrated religionists, so I understand your sensitivity to this topic. But you have misrepresented some essential Christian theology here.
Thank you for this explanation. It's a sad thing that he thinks this way about Christianity, but seeing how people justify their ideologies with parts of it, well, I can see why he thinks this way.
@va3svd Yeah, I have no profound knowledge about all the Bible and its teachings, but I didn't honestly believe it was all like he says. By curiosity, what denomination are you brother? This also causes a lot of division among Christians...
WRT 2, of note is that early Christian Jews were from the tradition of a physical resurrection. While notions of an intermediate state seem to have already been present, the ultimate fate was thought of as being a resurrection of the body, as it says in the Apostle's Creed (which is somewhat misleadingly named as it seems to come from the time of the Church Fathers, but the sentiment was there beforehand). A physical world of some sort is thus essential, though the current one is related to that to come as a seed is related to the tree it grows into. The physical world is thus not inherently bad, but it has been corrupted, either separately from humans (some even say before the corruption of humanity began, or before humanity existed) or by corrupt humans. I personally hold the latter view.
@@TheImperatorKnightI’m glad you’ve been studying Rand, though I hope that you don’t become anti-mysticism in the extreme. Your video on the life of Marx has been very useful for me. Thank you.

A comment about German productivity: You stated over 30% of "Germans" are not productive and are claiming benefits. Have you taken into account the immense immigrant population that exists in Germany?
@@Halliwell29 Raceblind liberals (like TIK) fundementally don't care about mass migration as long as the migrants are "productive" (slaving away in horrible working conditions). This is why Elon Musk has no problem with Indian slave workers flooding america and why TIKhistory lumps unproductive parasite migrants on benefits with ethnic Germans and Anglos
to your statistics of todays Germany regarding benefit payments: of those receiving benefits 80% are not German. You forget that of todays 85 million in Germany only 60 million are really German.
This guy is an anti-German propagandist. Nothing more. This is the second or third time I've tried viewing one of his vids, and always come away regretting it. I won't do it again.
Before I watch this video I want to thank you for providing so much well researched history. You have changed my perception of history greatly, and have even managed to shift my perception of the current world significantly in several fields. You are what historians ought to be.
Straining of the meaning of words beyond all comprehension and credibility in order to prove to people that up is down and black is white? That kind of historian? Yeah. He’ll change you alright. You won’t have any clue what end is up any more without checking to see what ole Tik here has had to say about it.
Yeah me too.As an eastern european i have always hated marxism for the destruction they brought on our lands,but this guy has given me an intellectual basis to bash on marxism
If only Germans had heeded for Goethe's emphasis by decentralization they would not have been destroyed by world wars. Goethe "Think about cities such as Dresden, Munich, Stuttgart, Kassel, Braunschweig, Hanover, and similar ones; think about the energy that these cities represent; think about the effect they have on neighboring provinces, and ask yourself, if all of this would exist if such cities had not been the residences of princes for a long time.” “Frankfurt, Bremen, Hamburg, Luebeck are large and brilliant, and their impact on the prosperity of Germany is incalculable. Yet, would they remain what they are if they were to lose their independence and be incorporated as provincial cities into one great German Empire? I have reason to doubt this.” "Political centralization, as Goethe explained in his conversation with Eckermann, would lead to the destruction of culture" Hans Hermann Hoppe “
While I agree, there was a significant trauma afflicted upon the German nation by the Napoleonic Wars, both among the small principalities and large states, and like the Italians, there was great fear of coming under foreign domination again, whether by France, Russia or anyone else, just as the Italians would no longer stand to be under the yoke of Austria or France.

Lazy trope. There aren't that many 'recent arrivals' to make those numbers. 82% of the UK are white. That other 18% comprises people from various ethnic groups. Many of them celebrated, rightly or wrongly, for their work ethic.
@@fairybuddy-angel2035 Not my fault the German government doesn't categorize on that basis buddy, but seeing the way they act tells you all you need to know.
@fairybuddy-angel2035 The percentages range but upwards of 60 percent of some groups are entirely reliant on handouts. That's a significant portion upon millions of people. The lions share is due to adjustment pain from the COVID lockdowns (given your hysterics, your apologia is obvious) but to say about a fifth of the welfare recipients are entirely due to foreign Paris-ites exploiting European welfare systems isn't outrageous in the least. But it is interesting that you'll try to use apocryphal comments from literally no one, but if someone were to make comments about say black Americans being welfare qu eens or native Americans being alcoholics suddenly apocryphal statements should be immediately distegarded.
I recently watched this video of an excerpt of a Thomas Sowell book using the Bohemian town of Budweis to talk about the tension of the Sudeten Germans and Czechs. It started with the Czech nationalists and the Germans reacted in turn. Before the 1700’s both Germans and Czechs in the region regarded themselves as Bohemians.
There is stuff he did not get into, at least from the excerpts I saw, which do explain a bit the Czech nationalist point of contention. One of the issues of the Czech-German-Austrian history is that there used to be up till around 13th/14th century a pretty much Czech speaking ethno-state. Not based upon nationality in modern sense, but still made up of a proto-Czech speaking majority. That state, a kingdom at the time, slowly got under the influence of Habsburgs and got slowly germanized, but mostly from the top and not entirely to the bottom. As the history is told and seems to be, the society got somewhat stratified in the 18th and 19th century based on the language difference. It also did not help the centuries long build up of divide and tensions that in a originally Czech ruled and Czech dominant country German began to be instituted as the official language and the language of the elite.
"The common good over the personal good." Here in germany we still have that in that rag we call our constitution. Article 14, Paragraph 2 of the Grundgesetz "Eigentum verpflichtet. Sein Gebrauch soll zugleich dem Wohle der Allgemeinheit dienen." "Property obligates. It's use is to be to the benefit of the general public."
Oh for goodness sake... the "TIK Hates Lazy People" spiel again. Jung was not "lazy", doctors of engineering who work in the railways aren't lazy, people who write books, or are politicians or civil servants - none of these people are necessarily "lazy" at all. Being misguided or even not being very useful to society - doesn't mean you're "lazy". A person who digs a ditch every day from dawn to dusk only to fill them up again - is not "lazy". Just silly.
47:40 The sad thing about this here in Germany, is in fact that some people receive more money from states benefits than other people who actually works. In addition to that, our taxes and social contribution are so high you literally work statistically an half year for the state. And then the people still blames the free market for that 🙄
I don't know why people say Mein Kampf is unreadable. I have read two translations and, while it is not great literature from a stylistic point of view, it is certainly not difficult to read or hard to understand. Yet ON THE OTHER HAND, Heidegger's _Being and Time_ really is a convoluted quagmire, yet nobody says Heidegger is unreadable, only Hitler, yet this is the opposite of reality. There is clearly a double standard going on here.
I tried reading Mein Kampf. I found it to be a bizarre, obsessive rant that was about as easy to read as NYC phonebook-and much more disturbing. This is coming from someone who has read thousands of books of all types, including "The Decline And Fall Of The Roman Empire." Apparently "unreadability" is a much more subjective term than I thought !!
They come to it with the mindset that they are about to read the personal diary of the Devil. It's a short easy read. People come to the conclusion it is the rantings of a lunatic because that's the opinion they had before they opened the book.
Out fucking standing TIK. Thank you for sharing the derivation of National Socialism, I would otherwise have been non the wiser. The connections you have made help us understand the depths of their beliefs. I still see "Nazism isn't socialism" posts on my social media algorithms, now armed with this evidence I can reinforce my arguments to further dispel that sentiment. Thank you.
The No True Socialist fallacy. It's amazing how much socialists agree with h- as long as you don't tell them where it came from. It goes for a lot of other disliked NotTrueSocialists, not even allowed here
I am beginning to see dreaded Socialism in everything now! TIK's Private Vs Public video really pushed me over the edge! I'm still more Javier Milei than Michael Malice, but time will tell!
For me as Czech, born in Liberec (aka Reichenberg, Sudetenland, Nord Boehmen), it is quite an interesting story. When I was born and learned my history lessons in communist Czechoslovakia, it was SO simple and easy to understand. And so distant from reality. I mean, I had to completely forget my heroes and villains of childhood and start from the scratch. Anyway, thanks TIK, very good stuff.
While I understand you wanted to combat Jung's view on productivity, but in so doing you have inspired me to combat your interpretation as well: Pensions are the direct result of labor, the collective labor of those adults over time. To say that pensioners are 'unproductive' is misleading and neither Jung nor Mustache Man would agree. 'Unearned Capital' is self-explanatory: Stocks, buybacks, etc are things that are not a result of physical labor, but speculation on certain economic outcomes. To be against pensions, it would be completely against the capitalist system as well because without pensions, no one would labor for organized labor and the State would foundationally collapse on itself.
@ In a word: Social Security. Also taxes. But just imagine getting the productive physical labor of a person’s prime years and being like “Nah, we ain’t gonna pay you once you’re cooked”. No socialist party of any type would be for it, and Mr.TIK doesn’t realize that if that happened, capitalism itself would cease to exist. Removing pensions is the ultimate betrayal of labor and society at large. Not even US conservatives would propose such an idea
@Superhero18 You people are so out of touch with reality. Pension plans ARE the new capitalists. Here in Canada, the Ontario teachers' pension plan has more assets than all the billionaires living here. The top 100 pension plans have about 2 trillion. Unfortunately, most are public service pension plans. Same situation in US.
You should look into Francis Bellamy. He was an early an adopter of nationalist socialism in America. He’s also the man who wrote our pledge of allegiance.

Orthodox Christian here. This is quite a long comment that took me ages to write, but I wanted to clarify some things and provide our perspective on some points of the video, so if you are interested please take the time to read it. We do not hate money, we are against excessive greed and accumulation of wealth for its own sake. There are many Saints in our Church's history who were wealthy and of high social standing, but used it to help poor people and to bring others closer to God, rather than using it for self-aggrandisement and hedonism. We are not against the free market, in fact it was only in Christian Europe that capitalism was able to develop. We are not against the material world, since God created it. Yes, it has been contaminated with sin, and there are many evil things in it, yes it is wrong to put the material above the spiritual since it is the soul that matters, but we are not Gnostics. In fact, the charities and hospitals founded by Christians all around the world, as well as the miracles performed by Jesus and various Saints, aimed at feeding the poor or curing illness, prove that Christianity also cares about helping people materially, and not just spiritually (although salvation of the soul, getting closer to God, is obviously more important). No Christian, apart from maybe a few "self'-taught" Protestants (which as an Orthodox I deem to be heretical), denies the fact that our God is the same as the God of the Jews in the Old Testament. I do not know if the New Testament passage Jung is referring to even exists, but let's give him the benefit of the doubt and assume Jesus did, in fact, accuse others of worshipping Satan and having him as their father. In that case he wasn't talking about Jews in general, but the Pharisees in particular. He was, in fact, saying, that it was THE PHARISEES who didn't follow the Old Testament God, or Yahweh, and Jesus was the Son of THAT God, not a different one. Christianity is the continuation of Old Testament Judaism, it is its fulfilment. (For anyone who doesn't know, the Pharisees where the most popular religious faction in Judaea before Jesus came along, and they obsessively followed the letter of religious law while ignoring the spirit of the law, since they cared more about rituals than they did about actually honouring God and loving one another. Jesus called out their hypocrisy, which, along with his divinity, which they phanatically rejected, was what led the Pharisees to crucify him.) Those Jews who believed in him became part of the new Christian community, which soon grew to include more and more Gentiles, thus the initial Christians, who were ethnically Jewish, got absorbed into the Gentile populations. The Jews of today are, BY DEFINITION, the spiritual descendants of those who rejected Christ, aka followed the Pharisees. They are ethnically Jewish, but their religion is Pharisaism, often referred to by secular and Jewish scholars as "Rabbinical Judaism", which is not the same as Old Testament Judaism. Old Testament Judaism was fulfiled in Orthodoxy, and calling Pharisaism "Judaism" is a misnomer, since it is based on the Talmud, which was written even later than the lifetime of Christ. It ignores the fact that all of the Old Testament, which Jews claim to believe, points to Christ, The Son, ALL THE TIME, and in order to deny him the Jews are forced to do various mental gymnastics and deny that which they claim to be foundational to their religion, but no matter how hard they try, they can never make it add up. I hope that was helpful, may God bless anyone who reads this, and I really hope it isnpires you to seriously look into Orthodox Christianity with an open mind. If you have any questions regarding the Orthodox faith, or my opinion on the matters discussed in the video, please feel free to reply to this comment about anything you want. I am a layman, so far from an expert, but if I do not have the answer to something I promise to try and redirect you to someone who does.
TIK, once again, totally misrepresents ideas just to push his own ideology. The worst thing is he does not even attempt to discuss or respond in any way to meaningful critique.
@@LindrosPetri In my opinion, he is not dishonest, just ignorant on that topic, and he has just not looked into Christianity seriously. Let's pray that he starts to search for, and eventually finds, the Truth.
@@ErmisSouldatos I hope but he is very consistent with not having looked into an idea seriously before using it in his videos. Worst is, people have pointed out that he may not be completely correct in his assessments but he just ignores it and responds only to the low hanging fruit critiques he receives. This is not how you do honest research and education especially on such complex topics.
Unrelated to the topic but since I did some reading on it recently: What do you think about describing killing in war as a soldier as an involuntary sin as for example found in works of Basil the Great?
As a Catholic christian here, I must say that Catholic doctrine doesn't vilifies matter, as it's a creation of God. Catholic doctrine just advices against addiction to matter, that's why the vices are vices. Eating is not bad, but Gluttony (adiction to eating) is. Charity is a theological virtue, but Justice and Prudence are cardinal virtues, and all virtues balance each other, thus Charity without Justice (giving to each his own) and without Prudence is not a good thing. Villification of matter is Gnosticism, an Heresy that was prosecuted and erradicated early on by the Catholic Church, and whose offsprings have been consistenly prosecuted by the Catholic Church too ever since. Can´t say about other christian confesions, but most of them have a similar stance to those matters, except perhaps for Millennialists. I must also say that religious texts are written mostly in symbolic language, which means that TIK's interpretations of christian scripture say more about his own beliefs than about the actual understanding of christianity by christians. That's why any religion worth it's salt won't let any loonie to freely preach his or her particular interpretation of scripture without the sanction of the scholars - specially if that particular interpretation falls into the firebrand side. Now, regarding to what TIK said about God being the same than the Old Testament Yahveh, no mainstream christian will deny that, or have any problem with that. That doesn't makes the christian God "jewish", as judaism is a much younger religion than christianity (the Talmud was compiled like a thousand years after the death of Jesus). In fact, even the Jewish version of the Hebrew Bilbe is younger than the traditional christian version of the Hebrew Bilbe (as the Septuagint, translated in the III century BC, is much older than the Masoratic texts, which were compiled circa the IX century AD). For a christian, Christianity is the culmination of the old Hebrew Religion, and the jews are just people who have rejected Jesus and, thus, the old Hebrew Religion. Jews, of course have a different view on the matter, styling themselves as the followers of the old Hebrew Religion. But the real fact is that neither Christianity nor Judaism are the old Hebrew Religion. As a Christian you can (and should) be anti-jewish (as their identity is based on rejecting Jesus), but not anti-semitic (it's not a matter of race, as all humans are sons of God).
Hey TIK, just a heads-up: the debate over whether National Socialism was truly a politically left movement is currently a big topic in Germany since Elon Musk interviewed the chancellor candidate of the largest future opposition party in Germany (AfD) on January 9th. Most of the media is framing her as insane for holding this position...
In the thirties, everyone who was not a hard core Marxist seems to have regarded NS as a left wing movement. This only really changed after Hitler invaded the USSR, and then it changed overnight. However, I think it is legitimately debatable since NS combined ideas from both the left and the right.
@@96stealth I mean, nationalism for one. Racial supremacy is typically understood to be right wing. Ultimately I would argue that two ideologies being both right wing typically doesn't prove much, so you can continue being a monarchist without worrying about accidentally joining the SS.
I think we must observe the implied paradigm. National Socialism is far right.... of Socialism. Communism is far left of Socialism. But it's all viewed within the socialist paradigm. Anything else such as monarchy or libertarianism is simply 'othered.' Socialism was, and maybe still is, regarded as the defacto post-revolution ideology.
TIK, re usury in buying, to get around the Church's prohibition on interest, for example The Second Lateran Council, a sleight of hand against the Church was agreed between buyer and seller when the buyer lacked the funds to pay entirely. The price would be increased and the buyer would make periodic payments on the principal "without' interest. The price and the interest were bundled, i.e. cost-plus markup, and declared price. Another type of avoidance was a person with money bought the good/property on behalf of the other and leased it (cost-plus markup) to the person. This exists presently in sharia-compliant finance, for example murabaha, ijara, and mudarabah. I hope this helps.
Hey Tik, I’m writing a book on the conflict between Christianity and Nazism, as well as antisemitism history, and your videos have been a huge help for research. This might seem a bit off topic, but it has somewhat to do with my research: what do you think of the Reichstag fire conspiracy? It would be neat if you did a video on that. Great vid, by the way!
Something that stood out from a recent James Lindsay New Discourses talk… The claim that Stalin was the original Soviet proponent of nationalism as a tool for achieving socialism… that Lenin actually called him a ‘national socialist’. Lenin did send Stalin to Vienna in 1913 to explicitly to study how it managed its various ethnicities… apparently he lived quite close to Hitler at this time. Maybe worth a separate video on this experience/ whether he was influenced by people like Jung. It might have some bearing on his later ‘socialism in one country’ policy...
Just a word of precision. It is misleading to speak of racial or ethnic divides within the Austro Hungarian empire. The divides were almost purely linguistical, with many people of diverse languages sending their children to German schools in the hope that this might further their career in the army or administration - and often it did. This led to the situation that whereas the peasants continued to speak their own languages, the middle class and intellectuals over time became majority German speaking. This again only reinforced the perception that Slavic languages were backward and a sign of insufficient education. It was not until the late 19th Century that especially Czech nationalism got its act together and rediscovered its past and pushed back on these issues. This push back eventually led to the break up of the Austro Hungarian empire. There have been various studies of this that show languages did not at all break down over ethnical or genetic lines, and nationalist attempts to construct such arguments were largely fictions and used a. lot of bogus science. To this day, there is a high number of German speaking Austrians with obviously Slavic or Hungarian surnames, with some surnames being so common that most people do not appreciate their origin or meaning.
Completely untrue. Ethnic conflict was so commonplace in Austria-Hubgary that even the Social-Democrats split over the issue, forming separate party-sections and unions based on race.
55:00 Georgism annoys me greatly. If I do not own land based on my use of it because I did not create the land, I must not own my body either, since I did not create the stuff my body is made out of, I simply rearranged it. If a farmer cannot make a piece of land his own by homesteading it, you cannot make your body your own by homesteading it.
Georgism is one of the most imbecilic concepts of property rights I have ever heard of and nobody who currently pays property taxes is a Georgist unless they are wealthy enough that the tax doesn't cause them discomfort while at the same time making cheap land available via sheriff's sale.

Third positionist can vary in economic doctrine from Hopper to Strasser. Its an Idealistic Ideology, not materialistic. Many people dont seem to comprehend that.
Later in the video when talking about materialism and being productive, I want to point out that Jung does explicitly say, "Workers are, according to its conception, all those who live from the earnings of their own honest - intellectual or physical - labor". So at 51:28 when you begin talking about productivity being materialism because you are producing material things, I believe Jung would suggest that the workers are capable of producing non-material things (using their intellectual labor), like a teacher "producing" educated students.
Catholic here in regards to the comment made on 32:31 . This is a pure misconception, we do not condemn wealth as inherently evil (in contrast to Plato). The TLDR is that material reality was created by God and deemed good multiple times in Genesis and therefore, there is nothing wrong with it. The problem comes when the correct use/order of it gets destroyed by original sin and thus, human nature as well (we start to misuse it). If we focus more on spiritual reality, it is bc this world is broken by original sin and salvation (redemption from this world when fixed) will only come to those in communion with God and the Church. As more extended version, if wealth/material reality were bad then: it would have never been created, man would have been only a spiritual being, God would have never become a man (with material nature), Jesus would have never been friends with Nicodemus or Joshep of Arimatea, Jesus would have condemned Zachary for not giving up 100% of his wealth and just half, and he would not let his disciples accept donations. The focus on the spiritual world comes from the correct use of our free will. The second coming will happen at the best time possible in the future and, to prepare for that, we have to use our free will to have material proof (in the broader sense, not just physical stuff) that we want to live in that world with the right use of matter and spirituality (the right order of things). Those who don't, they won't make the cut.
This guy was consumed by the Labor Theory of Value, as Marx was. The Marginalist Revolution in economics addressed this, too late for Marx, but in time for this guy. Even today, many people are dumb-founded by the Paradox of Value (why diamonds are so valuable, when just an ornament, while water has hardly any value, when absolutely necessary). Also like Marx, this guy was ignorant of the role of interest in the economy. Pensioners, for example, who save during the working lifetime, accumulate capital, along with earnings on the capital saved, and, so, provide for the own retirement. Ditto, those who pay for insurance provide for life's contingencies, such as death benefits for those dependent on a worker's income. It is unforgivable for somebody from the German world of the 20th Century to not see the legitimacy of pension and insurance. TIK is correct that some people are self-supporting from luck, and others through creativity. Nevertheless, most of us support ourselves through work. What separates the brotherhood of the productive from the moochers and the looters of this world isn't how hard or how long we work, but that we accept self-responsibility.
They are an antidote so long as they do not provoke a backlash, or so long as a small number of super successful oligarchs do not obtain such concentrated ownership that they can impose their common will on the entire society (and oligarchs are rarely free marketeers). Creeping oligarchy is not a modern phenomenon either. It has happened repeatedly in diverse civilizations.
Others suggest that free markets exaggerate the power of capitalists, the more liberal it is resulting in the more cynical the power of capitalists upon the state and the culture. The irony being that it itself becomes a tryanny of liberalism.
Dude, where did you come from, what's your background? This content is truly excellent. I tried to answer a simple question, 'Why did Hitler hate the Jews?' some years back, and I read MK and some articles but I couldn't really get a decent answer. MK basically says because they don't wash, smell, and are socialists that control the press. But your video finally shines some light on the matter. Why haven't I heard of Rudolf Jung before? Is he kept out the history books in some attempt to protect socialism?
In the prior video on Wotan it occurred to me that Carl Jung, the psychologist and esotericist that correctly perceived the religiosity of the moment that had a philosophy based around "the duality of man," had an "evil twin" Jung at the hidden heart of the movement. Funny in a small cosmic sort of way, although no doubt it's not the rarest last name in Germany.
Would be interesting to see future videos on analyzing Hitlers Last Will and Testament and on the controversy regarding what Generalplan Ost actually was as there is no evidence of a document called that just references in memorandums. Thanks!
Thank you for your extended efforts TIK. Whilst I'm not one for history regarding the Second World War, my interest lies more in the medieval era, I'm always grateful for your videos on the mystical politics of the era. It's a refreshing take to say the least with every video. Much thanks from the North!
It’s really impressive that your videos have proper subtitles or closed captioning. It looks manually done. Do you manually type the captions? Because if you do, that must take a lot of time.

The reason why Nazism is not thought of as socialism is because the political left - far more so than the right - was a non-uniform continuum for most of the twentieth century. Members of the so-called moderate left - including social democrats - feared Soviet Russia, and both moderates and Soviets feared anarchism. Finally, all three of these basic groups, along with most conservatives, feared National Socialism. Since the Nazis were so politically isolated on a paradigm that was (at the time) mostly left-wing, and since those rare non-fascists who allied themselves with the Nazis were conservative rather than liberal in their thinking, it made sense to categorize the Nazis as right-wing. In any case, the leftist ideas that Hitler and Jung did incorporate into their belief system were Old Left rather than New Left, and the latter generally prevails over the former today. The Nazis certainly were not CULTURALLY left; even their rejection of organized religion was impelled by a basically conservative desire to preserve a "racially pure" pagan past.
A small comment on Bible versions; the KJV is a fine version, but there are some limitations to it, based on the Greek manuscripts it is based upon (the Textus Receivus or "Received Text"). The NKJV, the ESV, and other versions render that verse from 1 Timothy this way: "For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil...". This is an important distinction - money in and of itself is not evil, according to the Bible, but making it central, supreme in one's life is the issue - in other words, making a god out of it.
Note on this note: Usually that's rendered Textus Receptus. Iirc, the KJV used such manuscripts outside of that as were available, but there were not many relatively speaking. Also the host DID say 'love of money' but went 'all evil' at the end bit, though I think he was quoting someone.
I have to correct you on one thing, at no point does the Bible say you have to be poor in order to be saved. It say that your focus shouldn't be on getting rich, it does say you should work hard but it also says there is nothing wrong with enjoying the blessings that God sends you when you work hard. The only time it calls out the rich is not when they fail to give their money away, it is when they let the focus on it get in the way of listening to others. Yes the Apostles combined their money but no one was forced to do that and no one was excluded from the Church if they didn't, in fact Christ said that "A worker is worthy of his hire". They only two stories people can use to make the Bible socialist is the one where Jesus says that "It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of God:, but this is in response to a man who wanted to buy his way into salvation instead of confessing his sins and going forth and sinning no more, Christ was saying that if you build up wealth to save yourself that will not do it. The other is the story of the couple who sold their land to give the money to the church but then lied about it and were stuck dead, however they were NOT killed for refusing to hand over their money, it was the lie they were killed for, Peter even says that after they sold the land the money belonged to them and they could have done anything they wished with it and it would have been fine, they chose to lie to God and that is what caused them to die. Not all of the early Christians were poor and they were never forced to give away anything. In fact throughout the Bible God blesses people with wealth that they do no have to give away and Christ rebukes Judas for saying Mary should have been forced to spend her money on the poor. P.s It should be noted that Christianity is about the only Religion that doesn't reject the physical world in the after life. The Bible is very clear that while we do get to go to Heaven that is not where our true victory over Satan lies, it is in the creation of a new earth that is a physical place just like the one we live in now where world will exist as God intended before it was corrupted, there we will work and live to maintain it as we were created to do. The Physical world will always exist and we will always work on it just in a perfect and undying state. The Physical world and what we do with it is very important to Christians, that is why the Bible starts with the creation of this world and ends with its rebirth. P.P.S Jesus talks repeatedly about how God cares about how God does care and look after what we have to eat, our shelter, and our clothes and he even says many mansions are built for us on New Earth, this is not a rejection of the world as we know it or of working to make it better. I am sorry for the long winded post but as someone who has read the Bible many many times I felt the need to correct this, being rich isn't a sin, letting the love of wealth become your reason for being is. I would suggests that at some point you make time to sit down and read the whole Bible in context and disconnected from other works beginning to end at least once to truly understand it.
In order to understand scripture, you have to become a fool according to the Bible and that sums up the entire scripture that many misinterpret. You cannot see scripture from a human perspective. This is where faith comes in, but it is correct what you said.
Is there a video on the influence of Martin Luther on Germany and 20th century Germans culture of respect for authority and conformity. William Shirer, author of The Rise and Fall of The Third Reich put a lot of emphasis on it
As a Lutheran, I would be interested in a good video on this, but I'd also like to hear a good response to it by Lutheran apologists. I was raised in the Lutheran Church, I don't have much respect for illegitimate authority or mindless conformity.
Corporatism doesnt work. The NS and SS-member Otto Ohlendorf studied the Italian system in the late 30ies and come to conclusion: doesnt work good for economy.

50:24 considering the birth rate around the world is terrible and this hypothetical person has 75 kids, he did 3471% more than he needed to do, so I'd say he did more than his fair share.

Hi TIK, I hope you see this, I'd like to clear things up a bit concerning your claims in the video about Catholic Christianity, specifically in 32:31. The Church does not teach that the material world is evil, but that, on the contrary, it was created by God (see Genesis 1-2). Any form of Gnosticism is therefore anathema. As Cardinal Pietro Gasparri says in his Catholic Catechism: "God, by His own free decree, simultaneously in the beginning of time, made creatures out of nothing both spiritual and corporeal-that is, the Angels and this world, and finally man, who belongs, as it were, to both, being composed of spirit and body" (Chapter 3, question 45). In fact, according to Catholicism, everything is good, in so far as it exists. As Saint Augustine says in his 'Confessions': "And I saw and perceived that You [God] made all things good, and there are no substances at all that were not made by You. And because all that You have made is not equal, each thing is good, and all things taken together are very good, for our God made all things very good" (Book VII, Chapters 12). St. Augustine also explains that evil only comes from the inordinate love of material things, not from those things in themselves. Matter and material*ism* are two very different things. Note that St. Paul says that *love of* money is the root of all evil, not money itself. When, on the other hand, Jesus speaks of 'the world' in John, He is not referring to the material world, but to the world of fallen human institutions, which often foster sin. In a different passage in John He says: "I came not to judge the world but to save the world" (12:47).
I'm astonished. Knew NONE of this, and I'm quite the autodidact . Started with Bullock ,and wandered around Kershaw, Taylor, Gilbert and most of the others. But this is deep wonderful teaching, of a calibre we've come to expect of Tik. And we should not take this for granted. Outstanding and gives so much context for pretty much all we are seeing today. Thank you Tik. Brilliant.

I would say that Franco lacked a particular "ism" unless it was Catholicism. There was a Falangist movement, but Franco does not seem to have adhered to it. He was an administrative pragmatist who loathed Marxism but does not otherwise seem to have had a consistent political theory.
Looks like I can never be a national socialist them. For me the individual comes first and I'm not worried about leaving my Volk or country to go somewhere I will be treated better. Plus having a great grandmother from a Jewish background doesn't help lol. I'm in Australia and am looking at leaving. I love the country, I served in defence but I'm not treated that good here anymore. It's all about social this and social that, community, society, the greater good etc.. and of course feelings and safety. No bloody way will I take part in this. This is caused by people who keep calling for more of it to fix the problems this causes. It won't end. I'm out. What you said at the end about providing value is spot on and what the vast majority of people still don't understand today.
47:50 Although technicly speaking retired people are "unproductive", is it fair to point to them as an argument against the notion that germans aren't a productive race, since they 'earned' their retirement through productive work? And also the part about the ~5.5 Milions people claiming unemployment benefits wont really fly with any german racist, because something like 5 mil of those people are with migrant background and the stat is actually used as 'proof' that non-germans just want to leach of of the productive german body.
Ground breaking work Louis thank you for all your hard work. You can see newly minted "Conservatives" like Carl Benjamin are skating on thin ice when dipping their toes in Romantic ideals about Nationalism. Every time I buy a book you have used for reference, my understanding moves forwards leaps and bounds.
I know I’m commenting a bit late but you might be interested in Savitri Devi’s Hitlerist mythology. She wrote most of her religious works during WW2 or in the post war period and laid the framework for post war Hitlerist worship. She herself was a very interesting character and took great inspiration from Hindu “Aryan” scripture as she described it, she also called herself the “Priestess of Hitler”.
Very interesting video, tik. We always focus too much on Germany, it was interesting to see how this developes on the german territories from the previous austro-hungarian empire.
People always point out that Mr Moustache was Austrian, but it gets overlooked that for the entire time that he lived there, Austria meant a particular half of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, which included not just Austria in the modern sense but Bohemia including the Sudetenland.
TIK, this may be the best thing you've done so far. One of the things I picked up from this is how minor logical errors/inconsistencies/ "overlookings" can develop into enormous chasms. I think worthwhile future topics might be both the histories of Nationalism and Socialism-starting perhaps in the mid 19th century and working backward. For instance, where did these obsessions with Race and Spirit (used in a nationalistic sense) come from in the first place (well...besides tribalism and religion in general)?
Hello Tik, Robert Barnes gave you a huge shout out on his podcast (with Viva Frei). I would like for you and Paul (WWII TV) have a conversation. Paul has a great show. Your view points on whether Nazis were socialists are 180 from each other, but I think a conversaiton would be enlightening.
Great piece on the history of the Fascism in Germany. The claim "it was all just Hitler" always irritated me. I read Mein Kampf -at least I tried- and Mr. Schicklgruber never stroke me as this evil genius that could do all of this, spontaneous and on his own. I can remember that awkward silence, followed by incoherent babbling, when I asked my history teacher how Italian fascism could predate German fascism if it was all just that Austrian dude. I haven't heard of Gentile at that time.
Haha, I don't really care what he says, I'm just here to watch propaganda that's against my ideology and a person who still doesn't stand up for truthfulness but justifies what the ... are doing to us and our Europe. He does make you think sometimes and also helps to get to know a lot of ideology's history. The only capitalist or marxist channel I am willing to listen to sometimes:)
Thank you, TIK. Your videos on National Socialism are always way better researched than those of other TH-camrs. I have a small complaint, though. Sometimes your opinions make me kind of question whether you have really read Hitler's National Socialism by Rainer Zitelmann, which is a book you highly recommend. For example, you over-emphasize the continuity between Hitler's thoughts and those early National Socialists' thoughts. Jung was very anti-industrialist and anti-modern (alongside other so-called "leftist"" members like Otto Strasser), but as Zitelmann points out in his book, Hitler liked industrialization and was not anti-modern like some other National Socialists. Zitelmann also points out how Hitler's ideas later diverged from Feder's (and Jung's) thoughts about national capital and international financial capital. Additionally, Hitler was not as cultist and religious as many other members. It's good to notice the continuity of the collectivist elements from Hitler's to Jung's worldviews, but IMO it would be more proper to mention these major differences between them. There wasn't a uniform National Socialism, but every National Socialist leader had very different brands of National Socialism. Personally, I'd like to see a more ideology-free, rigorous, and accurate description of National Socialism or other ideologies. Like what Zitelmann did in his book. But this is TH-cam, so maybe it's unfair to expect that.
54:20 "Fair" pay is simply the pay that is accepted or provided for the work done by those who can afford to provide that pay. That in itself would be a subjective value judgment as well as bound to individual means. For example, in a completely free market someone competently offering psychological help and basing this work on a "pay as you can and see fit" basis might see an unpredictable income stream as some who would like to give more simply can't, while those unsatisfied would or inherently vile might never pay anything, while someone good natured with the means might cover not just for himself but aware of the general situation even more so, so the provider could continue to provide his excellent service. To some degree the modern entertainment landscape with donation-livestreams works this way. Fair then is what the donator deems justified. Of course all systems can be exploited, but that is another topic. Does this make for a stable model for every job? Not on that level of resolution obviously. The problem with Socialists, their followers, is that they see everything as black&white extremes. Nuance is lost on them. Thus their solutions are always extremes.
TIK has to do the funny voices as trolls will clip and say that they are TIK's views. He should go wild and develop some other voices like Wee Jimmy Crankie for Karl Marx etc.
31:39 1 Timothy 6:10 is speaking of attachment to money. 32:16 the Bible says not to chase money because God will provide, Matthew 6:33-34. Then the real issue I have is with your statement that the Catholic belief is that the material world is evil. To hear you conflate Gnostic heretical doctrine with Catholic teaching is unfortunate because you have spoken so much about gnosticism, I expected better from you. The Catholic teaching is that the world God created is good. see Genesis 2:31. I understand that you are trying to fight against pathologically altruistic ideologies (which are falsely altruistic) but being ideologically antithetical to charity at all is pathological in itself.
31:36, TIK, you pulled this from the King James translation ...in which I can only assume is in attempt to prove your point, to sacrifice truth! I just looked up 20 other translations and they *all* show something along the lines of, "For the love of money is a root of all *sorts* of evil". The term "sorts" (or "kinds", or words to that effect) is in *all* of them. In no way was the Bible saying that evil is caused by money. See Matthew 20:1-16 (especially verse 15), as well as the 10th and 8th commandments, which is where your view of property rights comes from! I am disappointed in you! It seems your Objectivist cult is poisoning your mind to (other) religions! No, Christianity (in none of it's forms) says that this world is bad. That's a lie from those who hate the faith. Ecclesiastes 5:18-20 (and throughout the book), Psalm 128:2, Isaiah 3:10, Isaiah 65:21-22, Deuteronomy 28:11-12 (OK, I'll stop, but I definitely could keep going). The theme of the Bible is to worship the LORD above all else. The result is not that money is bad, it's that it's bad to put above all else. TIK, seriously, don't talk outside your lane of expertise. If you want to know what Christ actually taught, there are plenty of people who can tell you, who will answer your questions. And if all that fails, contact me, while I don't know everything, I know enough to know how to find the answer.

Intregalism is a alternative from facism created by plinio salgado in 1932 on brazil,it has some really intresting things that diverses and its diffrent from normal facism,its like a more of neo-facism. but i suggest you researching about it
Hi TIK, it´s really intriguing to see you making this video. I´ve spend a great deal of time studying protonacional-socialist movement in Austria-Hungary/ Czechoslovakia and its main protagonists. As a result, I wrote my master´s and post-master´s thesis on the development of DAP and DNSAP. Hans Krebs, Jung´s very close associate and co-leader of DNSAP, was in the main focus of my research. So, should you need any information on those topics, let me know. And thanks for your work. I really admire your expertise as well as enthusiasm for history.
My biggest concern is how we are going to survive all these financial and political crises, especially the power struggle in the US. The government has really made things difficult for its citizens and we cannot just sit by and suffer the consequences of bad governance🙏...

What goes around comes around
It should be remembered that this was under the direct influence of nationalism. Which sort a new political settlement, for a long period of time the relationship of these groups to the state was feudal, they specific rights and obligations codified in relationship to the Crown, and were largely autonomous in practicality. Thus different groups of many different characters lived within the same national boundaries.
Nationalism sort to standardise a lot of the regional distinctions, and in regards to the very large portion of minorities throughout many of these states the solutions were criminal. Russia operated the same way before communism, and Prussia had large Polish and Germanised Slavic populations. Basically the whole of eastern Europe was quite like the Balkans, but with people who had a long history of cooperation under a shared dynastic and religious framework.
This is one of the lesser known issues with the spread of liberalism, the old kingdoms tried to enforce common identity and language, largely on the advice of whig reformers, but a dialect is very different from a language and the extensive freedoms and flexibilities of such states were exactly because they operated in very large part with the consent of the population, the communists would show exactly how enforcing such changes kills civil society and massively weakens the state itself despite modernisation, Russia a century ago could call on the loyalties of vast and diversely skilled populations, even after the massive weakening of such relationships by reforms undermining foundational social institutions, forced integration policies and the growth in a deeply flawed bureaucratic system increasingly taking over from autonomous powers which functioned rather than sticking to mismanagement in the centre (this was a major problem, the Cossacks were in major economic crisis by 1914 as a result of terribly thought out bureaucratic policies, likewise the logistical and support corps of the Russian army were the epicentre both of corruption and revolution, as it was made up of people who used connections for a cushy time in service).
That Russia was still competitively a vastly more formidable a power than the one the Soviets left behind them, and that was at it's greatest crescendo of crisis.
Austria-Hungary had never been brilliantly led, but it was still an established power and a leader in culture and fashion. It's path was far rosier than the one it's constituent people's ultimately experienced, or indeed the future all European are currently confronting.
None of the people occupied by so called austro hungarian empire asked to be part of the so called empire. They were forced to be part of it. Immigration from other parts of world into European countries can be directly attributed to brutal European colonialism and occupation and also strip mining of resources from the countries they occupied.
To get a bit pedantic, Hungarians are Magyars, not Slavs. A different language and language group, which is how one usually defines ethnicity in Europe.
Good point!

I’ve been studying a great amount of philosophy during these past several months. Your video on the life of Marx has been huge. Among other sources and a shift in my ability to make an impact in the United States, I unexpectedly began sharing ideas far more sparingly. I tend to offer ones that are either abstract or regarding morals, principles, or otherwise structural aspects of life and society. And they’re often novel. This is sometimes exciting and tempting for the potential, but I started to realize how great a tool is the internet for effecting change, and it was a couple of months of submitting little and pondering before I decided to take more caution about what I share and to study further. After all… people have been dealing with the various impacts of philosophers for a long while and not always have they been positive.

Regarding your comments about Christianity and money, etc at around the 1:02 mark, there’s some misunderstanding.
1) The Bible does not condemn money per se nor does it condemn hard or wise work pursuing it. It warns against the *love of it*;
2) When John talks about “the world” which we are not to love, he is not referring to the physical world nor the people and things in it. He is talking about the ethical world, the systems, values, and cultures around us. He is telling us not to be seduced or swayed from our faith by those influences;
3) Not sure where you get the idea that God in Christianity does not live in this plane. He very much does, and the Bible presents in great clarity God as omnipresent, and both transcendent and imminent. Pretty hard to read anything the Bible says about Jesus and the Holy Spirit in particular and miss that notion.
I understand your critiques of altruism and your thesis linking revolutionary collectivism with frustrated religionists, so I understand your sensitivity to this topic. But you have misrepresented some essential Christian theology here.
Thank you for this explanation. It's a sad thing that he thinks this way about Christianity, but seeing how people justify their ideologies with parts of it, well, I can see why he thinks this way.
@ I agree. We Christians have done a poor job asserting and defending their theology the past 30 years or so in the main.
@va3svd Yeah, I have no profound knowledge about all the Bible and its teachings, but I didn't honestly believe it was all like he says.
By curiosity, what denomination are you brother? This also causes a lot of division among Christians...
@ I am a member of a Reformed Presbyterian church.
WRT 2, of note is that early Christian Jews were from the tradition of a physical resurrection. While notions of an intermediate state seem to have already been present, the ultimate fate was thought of as being a resurrection of the body, as it says in the Apostle's Creed (which is somewhat misleadingly named as it seems to come from the time of the Church Fathers, but the sentiment was there beforehand). A physical world of some sort is thus essential, though the current one is related to that to come as a seed is related to the tree it grows into. The physical world is thus not inherently bad, but it has been corrupted, either separately from humans (some even say before the corruption of humanity began, or before humanity existed) or by corrupt humans. I personally hold the latter view.

If only Germans had heeded for Goethe's emphasis by decentralization they would not have been destroyed by world wars.
Goethe "Think about cities such as Dresden, Munich, Stuttgart, Kassel, Braunschweig, Hanover, and similar ones; think about the energy that these cities represent; think about the effect they have on neighboring provinces, and ask yourself, if all of this would exist if such cities had not been the residences of princes for a long time.”
“Frankfurt, Bremen, Hamburg, Luebeck are large and brilliant, and their impact on the prosperity of Germany is incalculable. Yet, would they remain what they are if they were to lose their independence and be incorporated as provincial cities into one great German Empire? I have reason to doubt this.”
"Political centralization, as Goethe explained in his conversation with Eckermann, would lead to the destruction of culture"
Hans Hermann Hoppe “
While I agree, there was a significant trauma afflicted upon the German nation by the Napoleonic Wars, both among the small principalities and large states, and like the Italians, there was great fear of coming under foreign domination again, whether by France, Russia or anyone else, just as the Italians would no longer stand to be under the yoke of Austria or France.

@auraguard0212 Perhaps it was not decentralised enough during Napoleon's invasion, to individual level, by free gun laws. It was story from papal empire to own empire

In defense of those German and British unemployment figures, a good number of those are recent arrivals.
The majority most likely.
Lazy trope. There aren't that many 'recent arrivals' to make those numbers. 82% of the UK are white. That other 18% comprises people from various ethnic groups. Many of them celebrated, rightly or wrongly, for their work ethic.
'Most likely'....don't have any evidence so resorts to lazy right wing grievance.
@@fairybuddy-angel2035 Not my fault the German government doesn't categorize on that basis buddy, but seeing the way they act tells you all you need to know.
@fairybuddy-angel2035 The percentages range but upwards of 60 percent of some groups are entirely reliant on handouts. That's a significant portion upon millions of people.
The lions share is due to adjustment pain from the COVID lockdowns (given your hysterics, your apologia is obvious) but to say about a fifth of the welfare recipients are entirely due to foreign Paris-ites exploiting European welfare systems isn't outrageous in the least.
But it is interesting that you'll try to use apocryphal comments from literally no one, but if someone were to make comments about say black Americans being welfare qu eens or native Americans being alcoholics suddenly apocryphal statements should be immediately distegarded.
I recently watched this video of an excerpt of a Thomas Sowell book using the Bohemian town of Budweis to talk about the tension of the Sudeten Germans and Czechs. It started with the Czech nationalists and the Germans reacted in turn. Before the 1700’s both Germans and Czechs in the region regarded themselves as Bohemians.
I didn't realise Thomas Sowell talked about this topic. I'll have to look that up.
@@TheImperatorKnightVideo is titled The Bitter Truth Behind The German Revolt In Czechoslovakia.
@@AOT_HxH95wow ytube must be loosening it's grip.
Don't think so at all. There were tensions even in 14s. Wenceslaus IV. expelled germans from the Charles university.
There is stuff he did not get into, at least from the excerpts I saw, which do explain a bit the Czech nationalist point of contention. One of the issues of the Czech-German-Austrian history is that there used to be up till around 13th/14th century a pretty much Czech speaking ethno-state. Not based upon nationality in modern sense, but still made up of a proto-Czech speaking majority. That state, a kingdom at the time, slowly got under the influence of Habsburgs and got slowly germanized, but mostly from the top and not entirely to the bottom. As the history is told and seems to be, the society got somewhat stratified in the 18th and 19th century based on the language difference. It also did not help the centuries long build up of divide and tensions that in a originally Czech ruled and Czech dominant country German began to be instituted as the official language and the language of the elite.

Here in germany we still have that in that rag we call our constitution.

"Eigentum verpflichtet. Sein Gebrauch soll zugleich dem Wohle der Allgemeinheit dienen."

Pretty much.
Oh for goodness sake... the "TIK Hates Lazy People" spiel again. Jung was not "lazy", doctors of engineering who work in the railways aren't lazy, people who write books, or are politicians or civil servants - none of these people are necessarily "lazy" at all. Being misguided or even not being very useful to society - doesn't mean you're "lazy". A person who digs a ditch every day from dawn to dusk only to fill them up again - is not "lazy". Just silly.
47:40 The sad thing about this here in Germany, is in fact that some people receive more money from states benefits than other people who actually works. In addition to that, our taxes and social contribution are so high you literally work statistically an half year for the state. And then the people still blames the free market for that 🙄
Lets just not forget all the other taxes...its more than half of the year. Almost 2 thirds
I was just watching some of your videos and scrolling through your Twitter when this video became pinned on there-lucky me.

I don't know why people say Mein Kampf is unreadable. I have read two translations and, while it is not great literature from a stylistic point of view, it is certainly not difficult to read or hard to understand. Yet ON THE OTHER HAND, Heidegger's _Being and Time_ really is a convoluted quagmire, yet nobody says Heidegger is unreadable, only Hitler, yet this is the opposite of reality. There is clearly a double standard going on here.
H's Zweites Buch and Table Talk are better yet.
Mein Kampf is an easy read. It’s hyperbolic throughout but readable.
If heidegger is unreadable then hegel is undecifrable alien scriptures
I tried reading Mein Kampf. I found it to be a bizarre, obsessive rant that was about as easy to read as NYC phonebook-and much more disturbing. This is coming from someone who has read thousands of books of all types, including "The Decline And Fall Of The Roman Empire." Apparently "unreadability" is a much more subjective term than I thought !!
They come to it with the mindset that they are about to read the personal diary of the Devil. It's a short easy read. People come to the conclusion it is the rantings of a lunatic because that's the opinion they had before they opened the book.
Out fucking standing TIK.
Thank you for sharing the derivation of National Socialism, I would otherwise have been non the wiser.
The connections you have made help us understand the depths of their beliefs.
I still see "Nazism isn't socialism" posts on my social media algorithms, now armed with this evidence I can reinforce my arguments to further dispel that sentiment. Thank you.

I am beginning to see dreaded Socialism in everything now! TIK's Private Vs Public video really pushed me over the edge! I'm still more Javier Milei than Michael Malice, but time will tell!
Please .. no vulgar speech .. it is not cool ..
National Socialism is real socialism, unlike democratic or Marxist socialism which are just Jewish tyranny.
For me as Czech, born in Liberec (aka Reichenberg, Sudetenland, Nord Boehmen), it is quite an interesting story. When I was born and learned my history lessons in communist Czechoslovakia, it was SO simple and easy to understand. And so distant from reality. I mean, I had to completely forget my heroes and villains of childhood and start from the scratch. Anyway, thanks TIK, very good stuff.
While I understand you wanted to combat Jung's view on productivity, but in so doing you have inspired me to combat your interpretation as well: Pensions are the direct result of labor, the collective labor of those adults over time.
To say that pensioners are 'unproductive' is misleading and neither Jung nor Mustache Man would agree. 'Unearned Capital' is self-explanatory: Stocks, buybacks, etc are things that are not a result of physical labor, but speculation on certain economic outcomes.
To be against pensions, it would be completely against the capitalist system as well because without pensions, no one would labor for organized labor and the State would foundationally collapse on itself.
Pensions are the new capitalists. The amount of money in them is staggering.
"Pensions are the direct result of labor,"
Are any of these pension s taken out of your check or your labor to pay you back later? if so, that's bad.
@ In a word: Social Security. Also taxes. But just imagine getting the productive physical labor of a person’s prime years and being like “Nah, we ain’t gonna pay you once you’re cooked”.
No socialist party of any type would be for it, and Mr.TIK doesn’t realize that if that happened, capitalism itself would cease to exist.
Removing pensions is the ultimate betrayal of labor and society at large. Not even US conservatives would propose such an idea
@ Taxation is theft.
@Superhero18
You people are so out of touch with reality. Pension plans ARE the new capitalists.
Here in Canada, the Ontario teachers' pension plan has more assets than all the billionaires living here.
The top 100 pension plans have about 2 trillion. Unfortunately, most are public service pension plans.
Same situation in US.
You should look into Francis Bellamy. He was an early an adopter of nationalist socialism in America. He’s also the man who wrote our pledge of allegiance.

Orthodox Christian here. This is quite a long comment that took me ages to write, but I wanted to clarify some things and provide our perspective on some points of the video, so if you are interested please take the time to read it.
We do not hate money, we are against excessive greed and accumulation of wealth for its own sake. There are many Saints in our Church's history who were wealthy and of high social standing, but used it to help poor people and to bring others closer to God, rather than using it for self-aggrandisement and hedonism. We are not against the free market, in fact it was only in Christian Europe that capitalism was able to develop.
We are not against the material world, since God created it. Yes, it has been contaminated with sin, and there are many evil things in it, yes it is wrong to put the material above the spiritual since it is the soul that matters, but we are not Gnostics. In fact, the charities and hospitals founded by Christians all around the world, as well as the miracles performed by Jesus and various Saints, aimed at feeding the poor or curing illness, prove that Christianity also cares about helping people materially, and not just spiritually (although salvation of the soul, getting closer to God, is obviously more important).
No Christian, apart from maybe a few "self'-taught" Protestants (which as an Orthodox I deem to be heretical), denies the fact that our God is the same as the God of the Jews in the Old Testament. I do not know if the New Testament passage Jung is referring to even exists, but let's give him the benefit of the doubt and assume Jesus did, in fact, accuse others of worshipping Satan and having him as their father. In that case he wasn't talking about Jews in general, but the Pharisees in particular. He was, in fact, saying, that it was THE PHARISEES who didn't follow the Old Testament God, or Yahweh, and Jesus was the Son of THAT God, not a different one. Christianity is the continuation of Old Testament Judaism, it is its fulfilment.
(For anyone who doesn't know, the Pharisees where the most popular religious faction in Judaea before Jesus came along, and they obsessively followed the letter of religious law while ignoring the spirit of the law, since they cared more about rituals than they did about actually honouring God and loving one another. Jesus called out their hypocrisy, which, along with his divinity, which they phanatically rejected, was what led the Pharisees to crucify him.)
Those Jews who believed in him became part of the new Christian community, which soon grew to include more and more Gentiles, thus the initial Christians, who were ethnically Jewish, got absorbed into the Gentile populations. The Jews of today are, BY DEFINITION, the spiritual descendants of those who rejected Christ, aka followed the Pharisees. They are ethnically Jewish, but their religion is Pharisaism, often referred to by secular and Jewish scholars as "Rabbinical Judaism", which is not the same as Old Testament Judaism.
Old Testament Judaism was fulfiled in Orthodoxy, and calling Pharisaism "Judaism" is a misnomer, since it is based on the Talmud, which was written even later than the lifetime of Christ. It ignores the fact that all of the Old Testament, which Jews claim to believe, points to Christ, The Son, ALL THE TIME, and in order to deny him the Jews are forced to do various mental gymnastics and deny that which they claim to be foundational to their religion, but no matter how hard they try, they can never make it add up.
I hope that was helpful, may God bless anyone who reads this, and I really hope it isnpires you to seriously look into Orthodox Christianity with an open mind. If you have any questions regarding the Orthodox faith, or my opinion on the matters discussed in the video, please feel free to reply to this comment about anything you want. I am a layman, so far from an expert, but if I do not have the answer to something I promise to try and redirect you to someone who does.
TIK, once again, totally misrepresents ideas just to push his own ideology. The worst thing is he does not even attempt to discuss or respond in any way to meaningful critique.
Well said, Jesus didn't come to abolish the law, but to perfect it.
@@LindrosPetri In my opinion, he is not dishonest, just ignorant on that topic, and he has just not looked into Christianity seriously. Let's pray that he starts to search for, and eventually finds, the Truth.
@@ErmisSouldatos I hope but he is very consistent with not having looked into an idea seriously before using it in his videos. Worst is, people have pointed out that he may not be completely correct in his assessments but he just ignores it and responds only to the low hanging fruit critiques he receives. This is not how you do honest research and education especially on such complex topics.
Unrelated to the topic but since I did some reading on it recently: What do you think about describing killing in war as a soldier as an involuntary sin as for example found in works of Basil the Great?
As a Catholic christian here, I must say that Catholic doctrine doesn't vilifies matter, as it's a creation of God. Catholic doctrine just advices against addiction to matter, that's why the vices are vices. Eating is not bad, but Gluttony (adiction to eating) is. Charity is a theological virtue, but Justice and Prudence are cardinal virtues, and all virtues balance each other, thus Charity without Justice (giving to each his own) and without Prudence is not a good thing.
Villification of matter is Gnosticism, an Heresy that was prosecuted and erradicated early on by the Catholic Church, and whose offsprings have been consistenly prosecuted by the Catholic Church too ever since.
Can´t say about other christian confesions, but most of them have a similar stance to those matters, except perhaps for Millennialists.
I must also say that religious texts are written mostly in symbolic language, which means that TIK's interpretations of christian scripture say more about his own beliefs than about the actual understanding of christianity by christians. That's why any religion worth it's salt won't let any loonie to freely preach his or her particular interpretation of scripture without the sanction of the scholars - specially if that particular interpretation falls into the firebrand side.
Now, regarding to what TIK said about God being the same than the Old Testament Yahveh, no mainstream christian will deny that, or have any problem with that. That doesn't makes the christian God "jewish", as judaism is a much younger religion than christianity (the Talmud was compiled like a thousand years after the death of Jesus). In fact, even the Jewish version of the Hebrew Bilbe is younger than the traditional christian version of the Hebrew Bilbe (as the Septuagint, translated in the III century BC, is much older than the Masoratic texts, which were compiled circa the IX century AD).
For a christian, Christianity is the culmination of the old Hebrew Religion, and the jews are just people who have rejected Jesus and, thus, the old Hebrew Religion. Jews, of course have a different view on the matter, styling themselves as the followers of the old Hebrew Religion. But the real fact is that neither Christianity nor Judaism are the old Hebrew Religion. As a Christian you can (and should) be anti-jewish (as their identity is based on rejecting Jesus), but not anti-semitic (it's not a matter of race, as all humans are sons of God).
Hey TIK, just a heads-up: the debate over whether National Socialism was truly a politically left movement is currently a big topic in Germany since Elon Musk interviewed the chancellor candidate of the largest future opposition party in Germany (AfD) on January 9th. Most of the media is framing her as insane for holding this position...
In the thirties, everyone who was not a hard core Marxist seems to have regarded NS as a left wing movement. This only really changed after Hitler invaded the USSR, and then it changed overnight. However, I think it is legitimately debatable since NS combined ideas from both the left and the right.
@@michaels4255What ideas were taken from the right?
@@96stealth I mean, nationalism for one. Racial supremacy is typically understood to be right wing.
Ultimately I would argue that two ideologies being both right wing typically doesn't prove much, so you can continue being a monarchist without worrying about accidentally joining the SS.
I think we must observe the implied paradigm. National Socialism is far right.... of Socialism. Communism is far left of Socialism. But it's all viewed within the socialist paradigm. Anything else such as monarchy or libertarianism is simply 'othered.' Socialism was, and maybe still is, regarded as the defacto post-revolution ideology.
AfD are still nazis. Musk and his parents are nazis as well.
TIK, re usury in buying, to get around the Church's prohibition on interest, for example The Second Lateran Council, a sleight of hand against the Church was agreed between buyer and seller when the buyer lacked the funds to pay entirely. The price would be increased and the buyer would make periodic payments on the principal "without' interest. The price and the interest were bundled, i.e. cost-plus markup, and declared price. Another type of avoidance was a person with money bought the good/property on behalf of the other and leased it (cost-plus markup) to the person.
This exists presently in sharia-compliant finance, for example murabaha, ijara, and mudarabah.
I hope this helps.
Thank you brother
Hey Tik, I’m writing a book on the conflict between Christianity and Nazism, as well as antisemitism history, and your videos have been a huge help for research.

Something that stood out from a recent James Lindsay New Discourses talk…
The claim that Stalin was the original Soviet proponent of nationalism as a tool for achieving socialism… that Lenin actually called him a ‘national socialist’.
Lenin did send Stalin to Vienna in 1913 to explicitly to study how it managed its various ethnicities… apparently he lived quite close to Hitler at this time.
Maybe worth a separate video on this experience/ whether he was influenced by people like Jung. It might have some bearing on his later ‘socialism in one country’ policy...
He studied more Karl Renner who wrote about nacionalism.
@@alo5301 Honestly I don’t know all too much about the subject, but it could well be the topic of an interesting video.
Just a word of precision. It is misleading to speak of racial or ethnic divides within the Austro Hungarian empire. The divides were almost purely linguistical, with many people of diverse languages sending their children to German schools in the hope that this might further their career in the army or administration - and often it did. This led to the situation that whereas the peasants continued to speak their own languages, the middle class and intellectuals over time became majority German speaking. This again only reinforced the perception that Slavic languages were backward and a sign of insufficient education. It was not until the late 19th Century that especially Czech nationalism got its act together and rediscovered its past and pushed back on these issues. This push back eventually led to the break up of the Austro Hungarian empire. There have been various studies of this that show languages did not at all break down over ethnical or genetic lines, and nationalist attempts to construct such arguments were largely fictions and used a. lot of bogus science. To this day, there is a high number of German speaking Austrians with obviously Slavic or Hungarian surnames, with some surnames being so common that most people do not appreciate their origin or meaning.
I think you're parroting misleading narratives.
Completely untrue. Ethnic conflict was so commonplace in Austria-Hubgary that even the Social-Democrats split over the issue, forming separate party-sections and unions based on race.
The break-up happened due to economic and social strains due to world war 1, not due to ethnic divide.
Yes.

Georgism annoys me greatly. If I do not own land based on my use of it because I did not create the land, I must not own my body either, since I did not create the stuff my body is made out of, I simply rearranged it.
If a farmer cannot make a piece of land his own by homesteading it, you cannot make your body your own by homesteading it.
Georgism is one of the most imbecilic concepts of property rights I have ever heard of and nobody who currently pays property taxes is a Georgist unless they are wealthy enough that the tax doesn't cause them discomfort while at the same time making cheap land available via sheriff's sale.
As a descendant of familymembers that survived Auschwitz and other Nazi workcamps - as rebellious Christians - I am so grateful for the work you have been doing for so many years.

Third positionist can vary in economic doctrine from Hopper to Strasser. Its an Idealistic Ideology, not materialistic. Many people dont seem to comprehend that.
Later in the video when talking about materialism and being productive, I want to point out that Jung does explicitly say, "Workers are, according to its conception, all those who live from the earnings of their own honest - intellectual or physical - labor". So at 51:28 when you begin talking about productivity being materialism because you are producing material things, I believe Jung would suggest that the workers are capable of producing non-material things (using their intellectual labor), like a teacher "producing" educated students.
Catholic here in regards to the comment made on 32:31 . This is a pure misconception, we do not condemn wealth as inherently evil (in contrast to Plato).
The TLDR is that material reality was created by God and deemed good multiple times in Genesis and therefore, there is nothing wrong with it. The problem comes when the correct use/order of it gets destroyed by original sin and thus, human nature as well (we start to misuse it). If we focus more on spiritual reality, it is bc this world is broken by original sin and salvation (redemption from this world when fixed) will only come to those in communion with God and the Church.
As more extended version, if wealth/material reality were bad then: it would have never been created, man would have been only a spiritual being, God would have never become a man (with material nature), Jesus would have never been friends with Nicodemus or Joshep of Arimatea, Jesus would have condemned Zachary for not giving up 100% of his wealth and just half, and he would not let his disciples accept donations.
The focus on the spiritual world comes from the correct use of our free will. The second coming will happen at the best time possible in the future and, to prepare for that, we have to use our free will to have material proof (in the broader sense, not just physical stuff) that we want to live in that world with the right use of matter and spirituality (the right order of things). Those who don't, they won't make the cut.
This guy was consumed by the Labor Theory of Value, as Marx was. The Marginalist Revolution in economics addressed this, too late for Marx, but in time for this guy. Even today, many people are dumb-founded by the Paradox of Value (why diamonds are so valuable, when just an ornament, while water has hardly any value, when absolutely necessary). Also like Marx, this guy was ignorant of the role of interest in the economy. Pensioners, for example, who save during the working lifetime, accumulate capital, along with earnings on the capital saved, and, so, provide for the own retirement. Ditto, those who pay for insurance provide for life's contingencies, such as death benefits for those dependent on a worker's income. It is unforgivable for somebody from the German world of the 20th Century to not see the legitimacy of pension and insurance. TIK is correct that some people are self-supporting from luck, and others through creativity. Nevertheless, most of us support ourselves through work. What separates the brotherhood of the productive from the moochers and the looters of this world isn't how hard or how long we work, but that we accept self-responsibility.
I have to appreciate economics in one lesson featuring prominently on the bookshelf. Free markets are the antidote to tyrany.
They are an antidote so long as they do not provoke a backlash, or so long as a small number of super successful oligarchs do not obtain such concentrated ownership that they can impose their common will on the entire society (and oligarchs are rarely free marketeers). Creeping oligarchy is not a modern phenomenon either. It has happened repeatedly in diverse civilizations.
You having a turkish? Faith based libertarian fuckology.
Others suggest that free markets exaggerate the power of capitalists, the more liberal it is resulting in the more cynical the power of capitalists upon the state and the culture.
The irony being that it itself becomes a tryanny of liberalism.
Dude, where did you come from, what's your background? This content is truly excellent. I tried to answer a simple question, 'Why did Hitler hate the Jews?' some years back, and I read MK and some articles but I couldn't really get a decent answer. MK basically says because they don't wash, smell, and are socialists that control the press. But your video finally shines some light on the matter. Why haven't I heard of Rudolf Jung before? Is he kept out the history books in some attempt to protect socialism?
Marvelous. I had never heard of Rudolf Jung.
Same.
In the prior video on Wotan it occurred to me that Carl Jung, the psychologist and esotericist that correctly perceived the religiosity of the moment that had a philosophy based around "the duality of man," had an "evil twin" Jung at the hidden heart of the movement. Funny in a small cosmic sort of way, although no doubt it's not the rarest last name in Germany.
Would be interesting to see future videos on analyzing Hitlers Last Will and Testament and on the controversy regarding what Generalplan Ost actually was as there is no evidence of a document called that just references in memorandums. Thanks!

The reason why Nazism is not thought of as socialism is because the political left - far more so than the right - was a non-uniform continuum for most of the twentieth century. Members of the so-called moderate left - including social democrats - feared Soviet Russia, and both moderates and Soviets feared anarchism. Finally, all three of these basic groups, along with most conservatives, feared National Socialism. Since the Nazis were so politically isolated on a paradigm that was (at the time) mostly left-wing, and since those rare non-fascists who allied themselves with the Nazis were conservative rather than liberal in their thinking, it made sense to categorize the Nazis as right-wing. In any case, the leftist ideas that Hitler and Jung did incorporate into their belief system were Old Left rather than New Left, and the latter generally prevails over the former today. The Nazis certainly were not CULTURALLY left; even their rejection of organized religion was impelled by a basically conservative desire to preserve a "racially pure" pagan past.
A small comment on Bible versions; the KJV is a fine version, but there are some limitations to it, based on the Greek manuscripts it is based upon (the Textus Receivus or "Received Text"). The NKJV, the ESV, and other versions render that verse from 1 Timothy this way: "For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil...". This is an important distinction - money in and of itself is not evil, according to the Bible, but making it central, supreme in one's life is the issue - in other words, making a god out of it.
Note on this note: Usually that's rendered Textus Receptus. Iirc, the KJV used such manuscripts outside of that as were available, but there were not many relatively speaking.
Also the host DID say 'love of money' but went 'all evil' at the end bit, though I think he was quoting someone.
I have to correct you on one thing, at no point does the Bible say you have to be poor in order to be saved. It say that your focus shouldn't be on getting rich, it does say you should work hard but it also says there is nothing wrong with enjoying the blessings that God sends you when you work hard. The only time it calls out the rich is not when they fail to give their money away, it is when they let the focus on it get in the way of listening to others. Yes the Apostles combined their money but no one was forced to do that and no one was excluded from the Church if they didn't, in fact Christ said that "A worker is worthy of his hire". They only two stories people can use to make the Bible socialist is the one where Jesus says that "It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of God:, but this is in response to a man who wanted to buy his way into salvation instead of confessing his sins and going forth and sinning no more, Christ was saying that if you build up wealth to save yourself that will not do it. The other is the story of the couple who sold their land to give the money to the church but then lied about it and were stuck dead, however they were NOT killed for refusing to hand over their money, it was the lie they were killed for, Peter even says that after they sold the land the money belonged to them and they could have done anything they wished with it and it would have been fine, they chose to lie to God and that is what caused them to die. Not all of the early Christians were poor and they were never forced to give away anything. In fact throughout the Bible God blesses people with wealth that they do no have to give away and Christ rebukes Judas for saying Mary should have been forced to spend her money on the poor.
P.s It should be noted that Christianity is about the only Religion that doesn't reject the physical world in the after life. The Bible is very clear that while we do get to go to Heaven that is not where our true victory over Satan lies, it is in the creation of a new earth that is a physical place just like the one we live in now where world will exist as God intended before it was corrupted, there we will work and live to maintain it as we were created to do. The Physical world will always exist and we will always work on it just in a perfect and undying state.
The Physical world and what we do with it is very important to Christians, that is why the Bible starts with the creation of this world and ends with its rebirth.
P.P.S Jesus talks repeatedly about how God cares about how God does care and look after what we have to eat, our shelter, and our clothes and he even says many mansions are built for us on New Earth, this is not a rejection of the world as we know it or of working to make it better.
I am sorry for the long winded post but as someone who has read the Bible many many times I felt the need to correct this, being rich isn't a sin, letting the love of wealth become your reason for being is.
I would suggests that at some point you make time to sit down and read the whole Bible in context and disconnected from other works beginning to end at least once to truly understand it.
In order to understand scripture, you have to become a fool according to the Bible and that sums up the entire scripture that many misinterpret. You cannot see scripture from a human perspective. This is where faith comes in, but it is correct what you said.
Is there a video on the influence of Martin Luther on Germany and 20th century Germans culture of respect for authority and conformity.
William Shirer, author of The Rise and Fall of The Third Reich put a lot of emphasis on it
Like most historians who wrote during the post war era, Shirer had an ax to grind.
As a Lutheran, I would be interested in a good video on this, but I'd also like to hear a good response to it by Lutheran apologists. I was raised in the Lutheran Church, I don't have much respect for illegitimate authority or mindless conformity.
Can you do a video on Corporatism, the third positionist economic system? I see many fascists and national socialists defend this system.
I think you mean Corporatism.
@@ironinquisitor3656 Yeah, made a mistake.
Corporatism doesnt work. The NS and SS-member Otto Ohlendorf studied the Italian system in the late 30ies and come to conclusion: doesnt work good for economy.
As a german I thank you for this statement, here in Germany nobody would ever touch this topic . Hitler and the Nazis are highly toxic in Germany😮 the whole nation is still traumatised.
Traumatized by de-Nazification / culture terror. Is it still illegal to merely question what happened?
50:24 considering the birth rate around the world is terrible and this hypothetical person has 75 kids, he did 3471% more than he needed to do, so I'd say he did more than his fair share.
I keep hearing the religious overtones of the descriptions in these books. Unfortunately, our current governments are sounding very similar in the english speaking commonwealth.
This is the kind of "identity politics" I'm actually concerned about. People literally bringing fantasy and mysticism into politics.
You still dont explain of who was responsible for hiring of Hugo Boss to design and create the uniforms...
Someone who comprehended the importance of image and taste obviously. To bad they were collectivist.
@@Liberatingamericansyour name and slandering on collectivism is ironic. There is no collectivism in America.
Thanks for this Tik. I never could quite see how the mustaches guy could come up with that on his own. This fills that piece.
'Austrian National Socialism before 1918' by Andrew Gladding Whiteside is a worth a read for some more background information.
Whiteside's book was heavily referenced by the translator of Jung's work.
Marx wrote On The Jewish Question not against *Otto* Bauer but against *Bruno* Bauer. They're different ppl
Hi TIK, I hope you see this, I'd like to clear things up a bit concerning your claims in the video about Catholic Christianity, specifically in 32:31.
The Church does not teach that the material world is evil, but that, on the contrary, it was created by God (see Genesis 1-2). Any form of Gnosticism is therefore anathema. As Cardinal Pietro Gasparri says in his Catholic Catechism:
"God, by His own free decree, simultaneously in the beginning of time, made creatures out of nothing both spiritual and corporeal-that is, the Angels and this world, and finally man, who belongs, as it were, to both, being composed of spirit and body" (Chapter 3, question 45).
In fact, according to Catholicism, everything is good, in so far as it exists. As Saint Augustine says in his 'Confessions':
"And I saw and perceived that You [God] made all things good, and there are no substances at all that were not made by You. And because all that You have made is not equal, each thing is good, and all things taken together are very good, for our God made all things very good" (Book VII, Chapters 12).
St. Augustine also explains that evil only comes from the inordinate love of material things, not from those things in themselves. Matter and material*ism* are two very different things. Note that St. Paul says that *love of* money is the root of all evil, not money itself. When, on the other hand, Jesus speaks of 'the world' in John, He is not referring to the material world, but to the world of fallen human institutions, which often foster sin. In a different passage in John He says: "I came not to judge the world but to save the world" (12:47).
What a fantastic start to 2025 - my favourite history channel. 👍👍👍👍👌👌👌👌
I'm astonished.
Knew NONE of this, and I'm quite the autodidact . Started with Bullock ,and wandered around Kershaw, Taylor, Gilbert and most of the others.
But this is deep wonderful teaching, of a calibre we've come to expect of Tik.
And we should not take this for granted. Outstanding and gives so much context for pretty much all we are seeing today.
Thank you Tik. Brilliant.
This is a very well researched presentation!
I like your voice inflection, diction, when you quote the main topic character, Jung, and the "crazy mad man"!
You present, we decide!
Fair deal to me!
Love you Brother!
Sincerely,

TIK! I'm learning about Franco's Spain and the civil war! Can you do a video on Francoism?
m.th-cam.com/video/0d7Kcf_pPiM/w-d-xo.html
@@liammiskell3522 you can post links?!
I would say that Franco lacked a particular "ism" unless it was Catholicism. There was a Falangist movement, but Franco does not seem to have adhered to it. He was an administrative pragmatist who loathed Marxism but does not otherwise seem to have had a consistent political theory.
Looks like I can never be a national socialist them. For me the individual comes first and I'm not worried about leaving my Volk or country to go somewhere I will be treated better. Plus having a great grandmother from a Jewish background doesn't help lol.
I'm in Australia and am looking at leaving. I love the country, I served in defence but I'm not treated that good here anymore. It's all about social this and social that, community, society, the greater good etc.. and of course feelings and safety. No bloody way will I take part in this. This is caused by people who keep calling for more of it to fix the problems this causes. It won't end. I'm out.
What you said at the end about providing value is spot on and what the vast majority of people still don't understand today.
The attitude behind the demise of every culture. Your Jewish heritage shows.
Please do a vid on Strasserism one of these days!
47:50 Although technicly speaking retired people are "unproductive", is it fair to point to them as an argument against the notion that germans aren't a productive race, since they 'earned' their retirement through productive work? And also the part about the ~5.5 Milions people claiming unemployment benefits wont really fly with any german racist, because something like 5 mil of those people are with migrant background and the stat is actually used as 'proof' that non-germans just want to leach of of the productive german body.
Ground breaking work Louis thank you for all your hard work. You can see newly minted "Conservatives" like Carl Benjamin are skating on thin ice when dipping their toes in Romantic ideals about Nationalism.
Every time I buy a book you have used for reference, my understanding moves forwards leaps and bounds.
There's a difference between people who can't work and people who don't work.
The word 'mammon' is not Hebrew it is of Aramaic origin.
I know I’m commenting a bit late but you might be interested in Savitri Devi’s Hitlerist mythology. She wrote most of her religious works during WW2 or in the post war period and laid the framework for post war Hitlerist worship. She herself was a very interesting character and took great inspiration from Hindu “Aryan” scripture as she described it, she also called herself the “Priestess of Hitler”.
Not tonight honey, Tik just uploaded a video
Was the original taken down?
According to bible : LOVE of money is the problem not money
Very interesting video, tik. We always focus too much on Germany, it was interesting to see how this developes on the german territories from the previous austro-hungarian empire.
People always point out that Mr Moustache was Austrian, but it gets overlooked that for the entire time that he lived there, Austria meant a particular half of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, which included not just Austria in the modern sense but Bohemia including the Sudetenland.
TIK, this may be the best thing you've done so far. One of the things I picked up from this is how minor logical errors/inconsistencies/ "overlookings" can develop into enormous chasms. I think worthwhile future topics might be both the histories of Nationalism and Socialism-starting perhaps in the mid 19th century and working backward. For instance, where did these obsessions with Race and Spirit (used in a nationalistic sense) come from in the first place (well...besides tribalism and religion in general)?
Hello Tik, Robert Barnes gave you a huge shout out on his podcast (with Viva Frei). I would like for you and Paul (WWII TV) have a conversation. Paul has a great show. Your view points on whether Nazis were socialists are 180 from each other, but I think a conversaiton would be enlightening.
Another Great video mate you've been very informative on these topics covered in the last 5 or so uploads
Great piece on the history of the Fascism in Germany. The claim "it was all just Hitler" always irritated me. I read Mein Kampf -at least I tried- and Mr. Schicklgruber never stroke me as this evil genius that could do all of this, spontaneous and on his own. I can remember that awkward silence, followed by incoherent babbling, when I asked my history teacher how Italian fascism could predate German fascism if it was all just that Austrian dude. I haven't heard of Gentile at that time.
Labeling Hungarians as slavs? Mate, I hope you don't have a numerous Hungarian viewership 😃
Yeah, they're not going to be happy about that.....
Haha, I don't really care what he says, I'm just here to watch propaganda that's against my ideology and a person who still doesn't stand up for truthfulness but justifies what the ... are doing to us and our Europe. He does make you think sometimes and also helps to get to know a lot of ideology's history. The only capitalist or marxist channel I am willing to listen to sometimes:)
Thank you, TIK. Your videos on National Socialism are always way better researched than those of other TH-camrs. I have a small complaint, though.
Sometimes your opinions make me kind of question whether you have really read Hitler's National Socialism by Rainer Zitelmann, which is a book you highly recommend. For example, you over-emphasize the continuity between Hitler's thoughts and those early National Socialists' thoughts. Jung was very anti-industrialist and anti-modern (alongside other so-called "leftist"" members like Otto Strasser), but as Zitelmann points out in his book, Hitler liked industrialization and was not anti-modern like some other National Socialists. Zitelmann also points out how Hitler's ideas later diverged from Feder's (and Jung's) thoughts about national capital and international financial capital. Additionally, Hitler was not as cultist and religious as many other members. It's good to notice the continuity of the collectivist elements from Hitler's to Jung's worldviews, but IMO it would be more proper to mention these major differences between them. There wasn't a uniform National Socialism, but every National Socialist leader had very different brands of National Socialism.
Personally, I'd like to see a more ideology-free, rigorous, and accurate description of National Socialism or other ideologies. Like what Zitelmann did in his book. But this is TH-cam, so maybe it's unfair to expect that.
54:20 "Fair" pay is simply the pay that is accepted or provided for the work done by those who can afford to provide that pay.
That in itself would be a subjective value judgment as well as bound to individual means.
For example, in a completely free market someone competently offering psychological help and basing this work on a "pay as you can and see fit" basis might see an unpredictable income stream as some who would like to give more simply can't, while those unsatisfied would or inherently vile might never pay anything, while someone good natured with the means might cover not just for himself but aware of the general situation even more so, so the provider could continue to provide his excellent service.
To some degree the modern entertainment landscape with donation-livestreams works this way. Fair then is what the donator deems justified.
Of course all systems can be exploited, but that is another topic.
Does this make for a stable model for every job? Not on that level of resolution obviously.
The problem with Socialists, their followers, is that they see everything as black&white extremes. Nuance is lost on them. Thus their solutions are always extremes.
I agree-with the addition that as well as Socialists, anti-Socialists can be this way too.
It's funny to hear Marx quote in Hitler's voice.
TIK has to do the funny voices as trolls will clip and say that they are TIK's views. He should go wild and develop some other voices like Wee Jimmy Crankie for Karl Marx etc.
@paulokeefe2737 seconded.
Nice to find some facts on the interwebs. The kind of learning that improves rather than agitates. Thanks.
The common good comes before self-interest.
In other words, the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the one. Oh Gene, Gene, Gene.
That's why it's so important to find out not who wrote A book, but who wrote THE book. Good work TIK.
Just finished my initial design report diagrams for my programming project, at least the client side. Perfect video to listen to while showering.
Best video in my opinion on Jung.
“All Father “ R Jun must have been a Space Wolves fan when he played Warhammer 40k.
31:39 1 Timothy 6:10 is speaking of attachment to money. 32:16 the Bible says not to chase money because God will provide, Matthew 6:33-34. Then the real issue I have is with your statement that the Catholic belief is that the material world is evil. To hear you conflate Gnostic heretical doctrine with Catholic teaching is unfortunate because you have spoken so much about gnosticism, I expected better from you. The Catholic teaching is that the world God created is good. see Genesis 2:31. I understand that you are trying to fight against pathologically altruistic ideologies (which are falsely altruistic) but being ideologically antithetical to charity at all is pathological in itself.
31:36, TIK, you pulled this from the King James translation ...in which I can only assume is in attempt to prove your point, to sacrifice truth! I just looked up 20 other translations and they *all* show something along the lines of, "For the love of money is a root of all *sorts* of evil". The term "sorts" (or "kinds", or words to that effect) is in *all* of them. In no way was the Bible saying that evil is caused by money. See Matthew 20:1-16 (especially verse 15), as well as the 10th and 8th commandments, which is where your view of property rights comes from!
I am disappointed in you! It seems your Objectivist cult is poisoning your mind to (other) religions!
No, Christianity (in none of it's forms) says that this world is bad. That's a lie from those who hate the faith. Ecclesiastes 5:18-20 (and throughout the book), Psalm 128:2, Isaiah 3:10, Isaiah 65:21-22, Deuteronomy 28:11-12 (OK, I'll stop, but I definitely could keep going).
The theme of the Bible is to worship the LORD above all else. The result is not that money is bad, it's that it's bad to put above all else.
TIK, seriously, don't talk outside your lane of expertise. If you want to know what Christ actually taught, there are plenty of people who can tell you, who will answer your questions. And if all that fails, contact me, while I don't know everything, I know enough to know how to find the answer.
Tik i really liked your video man!
heres a suggestion on another video of yours: Intregalism. Intregalism is a alternative from facism created by plinio salgado in 1932 on brazil,it has some really intresting things that diverses and its diffrent from normal facism,its like a more of neo-facism. but i suggest you researching about it
I would be interested in an analysis of the AfD party. The media keep saying its a far right party,just wondering if its worth a look.
Its neonazi revisionists party
No
If you are looking for a libertarian party that´s more the FDP.
Thank you, TIKhistory.
Hi TIK, it´s really intriguing to see you making this video. I´ve spend a great deal of time studying protonacional-socialist movement in Austria-Hungary/ Czechoslovakia and its main protagonists. As a result, I wrote my master´s and post-master´s thesis on the development of DAP and DNSAP. Hans Krebs, Jung´s very close associate and co-leader of DNSAP, was in the main focus of my research. So, should you need any information on those topics, let me know. And thanks for your work. I really admire your expertise as well as enthusiasm for history.
I see that he is still using Zoltanous' substack as a source
Parts of the Arplan website are designated by my VPN as unsafe with security threats, so I won't reference that site directly for that reason.
Could "usery in buying" be paying for a product in installments?
This is great fun Tik .. thank you .. have you done a long piece on the Strasser brothers Otto and Gegor ?
If Jung thought 173% interest was bad he'd be foaming at the mouth if he heard about the 664% interest rates on payday loans in Texas.
My biggest concern is how we are going to survive all these financial and political crises, especially the power struggle in the US. The government has really made things difficult for its citizens and we cannot just sit by and suffer the consequences of bad governance🙏...
Compared to the rest of the world we’re in not as bad condition,it could be very much worse and what political crisis are you referring to?
