Peter MatthewsGUEST
And so I would actually choose maybe like, there's three articles, the Ben Miller sort of LGBT AFD, looking at the sort of queer politics of the AFD, I thought was really interesting and kind of added to my understanding of that.
Peter MatthewsGUEST
And then following up with two more, the Quinn Slobodian conversation that we did here, the And then the Dagmar Herzog interview.
Peter MatthewsGUEST
I think all together are kind of like three different ways of looking at the same subject, which I found really useful to my thinking.
Peter MatthewsGUEST
Yeah.
Adrian DaubHOST
Whether we like it or not, we're in bed with the right.
Moira DoneganHOST
So, Adrian, today we are talking with a very special guest, illustrious writer, scholar, and friend of the pod, Ben Tarnoff, who is the co-author with Quinn Slobodian of Muskism, a book trying to identify the sort of political economy of Elon Musk and his fortunes and his role now in the consolidation of an authoritarian power in the U.S.
Moira DoneganHOST
I absolutely inhaled this book this summer.
Moira DoneganHOST
I thought it was a really fascinating book.
Sam Adler-BellHOST

Um, I'm very influenced, you know, over, particularly over the work of the summer.
Spencer AckermanGUEST
Um, I've been reading a lot of, like Quinn Slobodian's books.
Spencer AckermanGUEST
Um, I've been reading, uh, the new, forgive me if I, uh, butcher his name, but, uh, Gil Deran.

Trishant DevGUEST
So I've been reading two books.
Trishant DevGUEST
One is The Globalists by Quinn Slobodian.
Trishant DevGUEST
It's a good book.
Trishant DevGUEST
It talks about the empire and how neoliberalism was born.
Daniel DenvirHOST
But the family values episode, like, that I think really, like, kind of blew people's minds.
Daniel DenvirHOST
Similarly I'd say when, like, uh, the Wendy Brown and the Ruins of Neoliberalism- Episode, the one cheated with Quinn Slobodian.
Daniel DenvirHOST
Quinn's also been a very important, important guest s- in the archives.
Ben MabieHOST
We're getting dangerously close to doing the thing, like where we're starting to like put name the movies or like name actors.
Daniel DenvirHOST
But the Family Values episode like that, I think, really like kind of blew people's minds.
Daniel DenvirHOST
Similarly, I'd say the Wendy Brown and the Ruins of Neoliberalism episode, the one cheated with Quinn Slobodian, Quinn's also been a very important guests in the archives.
Ben MabeeHOST
We're getting dangerously close to doing the thing where we're starting to name these.
Ben MabeeHOST
I know.
Gil DuranGUEST
They're afraid of China, right, and claim to be afraid of communism.
Gil DuranGUEST
But the key to what they want is capitalism without democracy, to use a phrase from the historian Quinn Slobodian.
Gil DuranGUEST
But look, China has a government that's not allowing its oligarchs to become more powerful than China.
Gil DuranGUEST
the government itself.
Kim Phillips-FeinGUEST
economic and technological environment.
Kim Phillips-FeinGUEST
I don't know if you've had Quinn Slobodian and Ben Tarnoff on the show, but their book Muskism is trying to draw out some of the ideas that are the constellation of ideas that Musk is putting forward and a kind of fortress mentality associated with technology that he is advancing.
Kim Phillips-FeinGUEST
And I would say that's the other thing, which has parallels certainly to the past, but is different about this current moment, is that the political control that people like Musk and Peter Thiel And others are kind of what they're doing is, you know, it kind of there's the technology itself and the machines actually do have this political import.
Kim Phillips-FeinGUEST
They involve surveillance information.
