Following the fall of the Berlin Wall and demise of the Soviet Union, prominent Western thinkers began to suggest that liberal democracy had triumphed decisively on the world stage. Having banished fascism in World War II, liberalism had now buried communism, and the result would be an end of major ideological conflicts, as liberal norms and institutions spread to every corner of the globe. With the Brexit vote in Great Britain, the resurgence of right-wing populist parties across the European continent, and the surprising ascent of Donald Trump to the American presidency, such hopes have begun to seem hopelessly naïve. The far right is back, and serious rethinking is in order.
In Dangerous Minds, Ronald Beiner traces the deepest philosophical roots of such right-wing ideologues as Richard Spencer, Aleksandr Dugin, and Steve Bannon to the writings of Nietzsche and Heidegger - and specifically to the aspects of their thought that express revulsion for the liberal-democratic view of life. Beiner contends that Nietzsche’s hatred and critique of bourgeois, egalitarian societies has engendered new disciples on the populist right who threaten to overturn the modern liberal consensus.
The book is published by University of Pennsylvania Press.
“Staggeringly impressive and deeply needed…elegantly structured and beautifully written. It will be widely read and debated in this frightening age of fascist resurgence.” (John P. McCormick, University of Chicago)
“This is a great book. If it proves anything, it’s that ideas have consequences, often profound and dangerous ones.” (Steven Smith, Yale University)

Socialist cuckology

It has been a bit since I read Nietzsche, but I’m pretty confident that the author of this work didn’t understand Nietzsche.

What are all these people afraid of?
April 30th, 2021
Is that BLM or Antifa on the cover…

When you define the “far right” as anyone that disagrees with you, this becomes a fantastically useful text. Otherwise, you might want to give it a skip.

@erouting - Not sure. Fair to say that Nietzsche had quite an influence “beyond” his actual writings, thanks to later selective publication/quotation. However, there was always questionable material present in his work.
While he was critical of nationalism & anti-Semitism, he wasn’t terribly fond of “the weak” - an unhealthy disdain for the less than super runs thru his work. The “weak” gain power by corrupting the strong into believing that the causes of slavery are evil. Pity for the “weak” only prolongs their suffering. “The weak and misbegotten shall perish: first principle of our brotherly love. And they shall be given every assistance.”
Of course, everyone perishes, even Der Übermenschen (in addition to the “innumerable…small and pitiable men” being assisted on their way). The 20th cent was v receptive to this stuff.
This is the leitmotif of his work. You’ll even encounter pathetic followers of this nonsense right here.
Still, a writer to read while you’re a young ‘un, to challenge the ole preconceptions. Less substantial as one matures.
It’d be nice if the far right/left put themselves out of our misery.

Anyone who says Brexit and Trump are “far right” hasn’t talked to anyone who actually is far right. There is no way they can have any relevant insights from inside their isolated bubble. Go actually talk to the real fascists first and find out what they’re about, then write about them. Don’t write about them first.

More material for brainwashing minds. fss

Well let’s see the last thing I can remember a few months back was that a group of republicans tried to overthrow the government. That’s pretty much as far right as you can get. The Far Right Republican Party has become the fringe party of lunatics that will believe and act on ANYTHING their master’s ask.It’s sad but true, and cant be denied - Republicans did it and it happened for all the world to see.
I haven’t seen ANYONE ELSE trying to over throw the government. Only the CRAZY and dangerous for democary republicans.
April 30th, 2021
Thanks for this.

Nietzsche was talking about something more akin to a robotic AI wiping us out and welcoming it.
He wasn’t whining about being replaced.

It’s so hilarious that the modern left doesn’t even realize that they’re the fascists. Everyone else just wants to be left alone. Also, no one tried to overthrow anything, Blade. You know how you can tell that wasn’t a mob of angry “right wing extremists”? Not a single representative or senator was harmed. Extremists wouldn’t show up with selfie sticks and viking hats, you fool.
May 1st, 2021
The book’s cover is literally a snapshot of a mob of fascists shouting, “Jews will not replace us!” and yet the same apologists are here to tell us why ‘the left are the real fascists’… pathetic.

The loons are loose in the comments section. Be gone. There’s a new sheriff in town and we’ve got no time for the likes of you.

Typical Hack writer for the Left.
Sitting in the smallest room in my house with his book in front of me. In a moment it will be behind me.
Ideas and Freedom scare them and threaten them.
The real Nazis are the msm. Big Tech and the Democratic Party.

lisiva5995,
I wish I could say you’re hilarious but you’re not. Your jovial Republicans were just out for a good time! Doing the kind of things every well thought sensible person or group does. Smashing in the windows of congress breaking down the doors tearing the place to pieces pooping and peeing like litt animals on the floors all the while chanting things like “Hang Pence”
(and others}
then beating the Men in Blue over the heads with flag poles with American and Trump flags attached whilst bear spraying them in the eyes.
All right there on national TV. For even you to see.
All of this while a vote was being certified in the same building.
Hummmmmmm. I wonder why they did that????
Not to mention the FIVE people who died along the way and the police officer that had his fingers ripped off his hand. See really you’re for or against this or, you’re just vapid.

Thank you for uploading this!

. . . and it’s sequel ‘Kalergi, Evola, Horkheimer, and rise of the Fauxgressive left.’

Far right?
Why are liberals now fighting against free speech with cancel culture and calling free speech dangerous?
They used to spread love now they spread hate calling everyone racists and Nazis.
I’m a real progressive and I always will be.
I refuse to become one of today’s far left fascists.

Written by someone who doesn’t Nietzsche or Heidegger.

The far right is very dishonest and unaware of itself just in this comment section: Really gaslighting everyone else away from the fact that they are a resentful and dangerous herd.
May 28th, 2021
The left focuses on Good vs. Evil.
The right on Wrong vs Right.
Wrong vs. right is based on morality.
Good vs. Evil can be anything anybody wants good or evil to be.
June 6th, 2021
So when the far right people aren’t being evangelical or fundamentalist Christians, they are expounding the iconoclasms of Nietzsche. How quaint.
June 25th, 2021
People who don’t understand that Nietzsche’s entire philosophy was a reactionary response to the democratic movements of the 19th century are unhistorical imbeciles. You probably believe that ridiculous narrative that tries to frame him as an existentialist or a philosopher of life or the will. Childish nonsense.

I took a class with the author a decade ago and at the time I was unfamiliar with his work. In that class he advanced some really interesting critiques of liberalism and presented a lot of Alasdair MacIntyre’s ideas (which, despite being of the left myself, I found compelling). By the end of the class I had no idea where Beiner stood on the political spectrum — he’d been critical of many positions and was so far from an ideologue that the only real take away I had about him is that he has a very sharp and inquisitive mind. It’s funny now to see him being lionised by the left and pilloried by the right (here, at least), each of which seems to be speaking more about an invented caricature than the real person.

Thank you very much!

Just because Nazis & some on the far right today cite Nietzsche, it doesn’t mean they’ve actually read or understood much of his texts, and it certainly doesn’t mean Nietzsche led to Nazism and the rise of the far right today. That’s like blaming Karl Marx for Stalinism. And the fact that Fascism, Nazism, and Stalinism all developed at the same time, and share remarkable similarities with each other, suggests these phenomena developed due to other factors. What they do share in common are totalizing & teleological views of society, and essentialist humanism — which defines what humans are/should be, and definitions or designations are only possible by exclusion, by defining and designating who is not human. (From what I understand, we can thank another philosopher who gets a lot of blame, Hegel, for that last insight.)
Oh, and as far as Heidegger goes, I cannot begin to imagine Steve Bannon reading Being And Time! The Nazis didn’t read it either. For a thoughtful analysis of Heidegger’s philosophical concepts in relation to Nazism, & fascism generally, see Caputo’s book, Demythologizing Heidegger. (Caputo doesn’t throw out the baby with the fascistic bathwater. Although I kind of wish he would, so I could disregard Being & Time, etc, and just continue reading the great scholars who were influenced by Heidegger, like Michel Foucault …and John Caputo himself.)
