Political theology

Um, he certainly knows he's participating in that, that, that current and that that current has been used to tremendously bad results.

So Tracy Strong, a philosopher that I don't agree with on, on many things, wrote the forward to the English translation of Carl Schmitt's, um, 1923 or thereabout book called Political Theology.

And in that forward, T- Tracy Strong is trying to be generous to Carl Schmitt and actually describes [chuckles] his philosophy while being generous and kind as a, quote, "kind of right-wing Leninism." And I think that that, you know, is exactly what Jeffrey Tucker's talking about.

I don't think that Tracy Strong misspoke, and I, I think that when you look at Leninism as kind of this friend-enemy tribalism combined with Machiavellian political rules, the willingness to just lie and pretend that resources under the ground are the same thing as a mobilized economy, for example, that you know you're doing these kinds of Leninistic or Bolshevik, uh, kind of maneuvers.

I hope you did.
