The Return Of The Repressed.

After a year of research Sebbe, Ghost Stories For the End of the World and myself are finally able to bring you the Interpol investigation! The least scrutinized spy and intel apparatus in the world is about to be a bit more scrutinized. Why does it have more members than the UN for example?

Here is as promised the next episode of my ongoing collaboration about Political Theology with the Fourth Reich Archeology podcast. To unlock the whole thing you can sign up on patreon and access the entire archive of episodes and series.
##Original episode notes ##
We are back with another installment of our ongoing series Fourth Reich Political Theology with Marcus from the Return of the Repressed podcast. Recall that in our opening salvo of this series, we laid the foundation for our excavation by exploring how the superstitious religious worldview of the feudal world order was superimposed onto the capitalist world order with “The Market” playing the role of God. The same way that serfs and peasants lived their lives in awe and default belief of a vengeful deity, we today implicitly believe in the mysterious market forces we are told move the earthly cosmos beyond the will of man.
This episode picks up right where we left off, expanding outwards on what we covered in part 1 to reach beyond the “earthly philosophers” of bourgeois political economy (Smith, Bentham, et al.), to the German Idealists from Kant to the so-called neo-Kantains, to the early sociologists, to the man of the hour himself, Carl Schmitt. In our journey, we draw heavily on Georg Lukacs “The Destruction of Reason” to trace the thread of irrationalism through all liberal political philosophizing. 
Lukacs and Schmitt see eye to eye when it comes to the hypocrisy and incoherence of Western bourgeois liberal democracy. After all, rule of by and for the bourgeoisie–and the exploitation and domination of the proletariat that entails–cannot really pursue the objectives of liberté, egalité, and fraternité. That would destroy the special privileges enjoyed by the ruling class. But from the same observation, Schmitt and Lukacs proceed in polar opposite directions. Schmitt would strip back the pretense of institutional norms in favor of the rule of raw power, which he supported in his advocacy for and membership in the Nazi party. Lukacs, good Marxist that he was, would instead expose the exploitive nature of the state and the society and, developing class consciousness through praxis, expropriate the ruling class in favor of the dictatorship of the proletariat. 
It’s another incredible conversation with Marcus, and one that has real practical implications for today when we once again find ourselves in what Schmitt called “the state of exception” where the sovereign alone makes the rules…

In 1908 Sweden was one of the poorest countries of Europe, the serf system (statare) was still in place, almost a quarter of the population had left for America, only Norway and Ireland saw people fleeing in greater numbers, those who stayed behind organized and the Swedish proletariat became during that decade one of the most prone to strike and violent action in the western world.
In 1906 the Christmas or "December Compromise" had been signed by the social democrats and the industrialists. They sought to avoid a "Bloody Sunday" incident like the one in Russia the previous year. The compromise was considered by many a back-stab, for it gave the employers rather than the unions right to manage and allocate work and to freely hire and dismiss employees at whim.
As the class struggle intensified the industrialists began hiring British strike-breakers in the multiple thousands. The strike-breakers where armed and dangerous, but though their violence was as a rule acquitted by the bourgeois courts, three young communists began planning to take justice in their own hands and show the traitors who was boss.

Happy New Year everyone! Hope you are doing good. To start of the new year with something different, here is a screen recording of me making the latest skull boys episode cover. I have never made a tutorial like this before so I didn't know whether to simply make an overview for general gist or to make something which those inclined could follow as teaching material.
I'm happy to make more in the future so let me know if you have questions or requests on what to show in a video like this.

This is a re-upload of an episode I did recently with Subliminal Jihad, which again is a podcast I am sure many of you are aware of and if not one I think you would enjoy very much.
