The Empire Never Ended

Rey and Boris dive into Armin Mohler's critique of liberal democracy, highlighting his concerns over institutional decay due to leftist and corporate influences. They hilariously tackle the topic of transgender access in public restrooms as a cultural battleground. The discussion also touches on Mohler's shift from libertarian roots toward right-wing socialism, alongside a debate on the threats posed by contemporary leftist movements compared to those of the interwar era. Expect sharp insights and humor throughout!

Rey concludes the three part series on Traditionalism by talking about the "super-fascist" fake baron Julius Evola. Before WW2, Evola was trying to ideologically influence both Italian fascism and German National-Socialism, and after the war he became the ideologue of Neo-Fascist terrorist groups.
