Content

On radical conservatism and global order.

Professor Michael C. Williams talks to George and Alex about his co-authored World of the Right and how the radical right has gone global. We discuss:

Does academia takes the Right as seriously as it should?

What's the difference between the radical right and the far right, the new right, national conservatives, or fascists?

How is the right 'global' – not just through international conferences but by being "co-constituted by its relation to the global"?

Why is the radical right focused on the global liberal managerial elite? What does it get right and what does it get wrong about this stratum?

How did the radical right come to take Gramsci seriously?

Is the radical right just parasitic on the breakdown of liberal universalism?

What does this analysis of the radical right say about the Left – is it the force that protects the status quo of the liberal international order?

A very interesting episode and an easy book order. While the title, '...the World of the Right', and the thumbnail featuring Putin, Modi, and Dugin suggest a global analysis, I’m not convinced the discussion at hand extends that far. 1. The characterization of the radical right as a counter-hegemonic force in Europe/US or even South America is convincing, but Putin, Modi, and Netanyahu are very much hegemonic. In that sense, the discussion seems somewhat "behind the curve" on a global scale. 2. The Western right may share a common opposition to global managerialism, but Putins and Modies rejection of the global pecking order is even more radical than what the Western radical right attempts. As much as Western TradCons drawl about Putin's Russia, American or Western primacy is not questioned. And just out of curiosity and provocation, having listened to the episode several times, I start to have hallucinations of Hannah Arendt. If the Radical right is tradidionalist, nationalistic, friend vs fow and against the global PMCs and Putin is counted as a member of the radical right, despite its open internal use of violence and non-democratic state structure, how does the radical right differe from Xi's China?
