THE MANIFESTO PODCAST

As the fossilized shell of the old consensus of values in Western democracies falls apart and slides into the ocean, it's time to get some priorities straight.“It's Not The Economy, Stupid” If there is a story to be told about the last thirty years, and the story that will be told about the coming thirty years that is not one of economics, then it is about social, cultural and spiritual decline fuelled by, yes, demographics. The End of the Boomer era has left most Western countries struggling for their soul because the post-war system was built and managed by the people, values and - yes money, that will soon be gone. Ours is a time when society functions less and less on liberal merit and more and more on tribe and race. One of the best chroniclers of this development is our guest this episode – Eric Kaufmann – whose book White Shift, and upcoming book about the taboo of race, is a great guide to this new world. We ask him about what can be salvaged from the ruins of the old order. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The notion of Conservative Socialism or Blue Labour would to many people seem bizarrely paradoxical. It ought to. The British Labour party has in the 83 years since George Orwell made his case for a distinctly patriotic and English version of socialism and socialist in The Lion and the Unicorn has been the party of large scale nationalization and militant leftism. Until it capitulated to the Thatcherite view of the world during the End of History and has since oscillated between its old tendencies and a sort of liberal centrism well in tune with the times and of course, the City.Too intune, too fashionable and too destructive - too European, as some would have it. The man who symbolizes that some more than anyone else is a, of all people, Labour peer in the House of Lords. Lord Maurice Glasman is a radical and a reactionary (he would surely prefer another word) all at once, advocating for a populist, conservative but most strikingly pre-French Revolution notion of politics. Arguing the country and its politics has lost itself we embark on a conversation that echoes Eric Arthur Blair's wartime cri de coeur and is sure to get everyone on the spectrum angry, frustrated - but above all, thinking.As the twenties thunder head on into the next series of crises, it’s precisely the kind of conversation we want to have.Because we too, “Fucking hate the French revolution” and the clichés of right-left politics we still wrestle with every day.

Nathan Cofnas is a heretic. It's not a title nor a career path he has chosen, rather, he has had the bad taste of delving into the wrong subject at the wrong time. Because in a world where social sciences and polite society has decided that humankind is essentially fully moldable beings, constructed as the post-moderns would have it - to study the subject of IQ is not only a poor choice, but a dangerous one at that. Delving even further into the dark arts, Cofnas field of study is that of race and intelligence.Here be dragons. What does his research really show? What should we do with that information?This and more in our latest episode.  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

For a long time, France was seen as an alternative model to the prevailing anglo-saxon one - where New York and London represented the liberal dream of the melting pot, Paris stood bent, but unbowed, for a distinct French republican idea.Now, with the Middle East alight once again the relationship the West has with immigrants from that region again comes into focus. The idea of french republicanism, the last vestige of old french glories now seems cracked if not shattered. Republican laicité is challenged from within by Islamists and the left. Is it too late to save the secular Republic? Should we even try?Florence Bergeaud-Blackler is a French anthropologist at CNRS who has done extensive research about integration and the activities of political islamism and especially the Muslim Brotherhood in France.Fanny Forsberg Lundell is professor of French at Stockholm University who has recently published ”Kameleonter och kosmopoliter ”(2023) a book comparing French and Swedish integration.

The end of the human race will be that it will eventually die of civilization.— Ralph Waldo EmersonDougald Hine is not your typical thinker on Climate Change, Crisis, Hoax - whatever your flavor or politics happen to be. When many of his friends became radicalized and formed Extinction Rebellion he took the road less traveled and ended up demanding that we ask fundamentally different questions rather than demand radical answers.Questions like "What the hell is being done in the name of progress anyway?"Doesn't matter if you are a believer, skeptic, sinner or pillar-saint. Dougald Hine will challenge you to think differently about Catastrophe, Climate and Civilisation.We had a very pleasant discussion with him about changing one's mind. About the relationship between Romanticism and the Environmental Movement. About paths not taken.Oh and how Andreas Malm saved him by hating his guts. Hosted on Acast.

Omar Bradley famously quipped about professionals talking about logistics instead of strategy, so we figured we'd talk to someone literally driving globalization for a living. The Lorryist gives us his view from the driving seat. From the possibility of AI and Elon Musk stealing his job to running the gauntlet of Calais and coming face to  face with the anarchy and deprivation of European migration policy. What's the most dangerous thing in the world?
