The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Ep. 174 Here on the New Discourses Podcast, host James Lindsay is doing a sprawling series on the German National Socialist movement to pull back the curtain on the realities of the Nazi Experiment. Primarily, this series covers a set of readings directly from Adolf Hitler's manifesto and autoethnography, Mein Kampf (reading from the uncensored Ford translation). In this fifth volume of the series, Lindsay tackles the "25 Points of the Nazi Party" along with the 12th and final chapter of the first volume of Mein Kampf, which is its proper setting. As Hitler gives 15 more points for Nazi organization in that chapter, we arrive at 40 organizational points and principles for the Nazi Party. Join us for this next episode in giving the world a denuded look at Nazism. Latest book!

The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Ep. 176 The Nazi State was a totalitarian state. This, nobody denies. While Adolf Hitler and his Nazi Party associates obviously intended to organize the Nazi State in that way, a thoroughgoing justification was provided by the so-called "Crown Jurist of the Third Reich," Carl Schmitt, who has become popular on the so-called "New Right" (Woke Right). Schmitt resisted the idea of the Nazi movement, despite his political and judicial theories that went on to justify it, but only until Hitler took the Chancellorship in January 1933. Then Schmitt joined and soon after penned an essay, "The Legal Basis for the Total State," to justify Nazi totalitarianism and the Führerprinzip in the "miracle" of legal decisionism (the dictatorial executive making decisions on top of rule of law). In this groundbreaking episode of the New Discourses Podcast, not only does host James Lindsay continue his sprawling series on the "Nazi Experiment," but he also presents this Schmittian essay in English for the first time. Join him for an introduction to Carl Schmitt and to hear "The Legal Basis for the Total State." Latest from New Discourses Press!

The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Ep. 178 Characterizing what happened in Germany between the end of World War I and the end of World War II as the "Nazi Experiment" allows us to take a close look at what the Nazis did in the apparent attempt to solve some serious societal problems. Of course, the Nazi State had its conception of citizenship, as would any state, but rather than breaking down its population into "citizens" and "aliens," Hitler wanted there to be three statuses: German citizens, subjects of the state, and foreigners (or aliens). In the shortest chapter of Mein Kampf, he makes the case that birthright citizenship and naturalization "by paperwork" are "insane" policies that "poison" the nation. Curiously, this strange characterization has appeared on the "New Right" (Woke Right) recently as well. In a recent piece on The Blaze, "Auron MacIntyre" explains that "Paperwork Americans Are Not Your Countrymen" (https://web.archive.org/web/20250807204648/https://www.theblaze.com/columns/opinion/paperwork-americans-are-not-your-countrymen/ ). In this episode of the Nazi Experiment series of the New Discourses Podcast, host James Lindsay reads both of these documents to shed further light on the ominous parallels between then and now. Join him to learn more and unmask yet another likely operation against our republic. Latest from New Discourses Press!

The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Ep. 182 What was the underlying structure of politics in the Third Reich, and what bearing did this view of politics have on the unfolding Nazi Experiment? In this episode of the New Discourses Podcast, host James Lindsay continues this sprawling series on Nazism, showing not just that it was a disaster but also why it was a disaster. In this episode, he presents the politics of Carl Schmitt, which informed and meshed with the Nazi totalitarian program at its deepest levels. Lindsay presents some of Schmitt's famous The Concept of the Political (1932) to set the stage and then presents a short essay by Schmitt from 1936 simply titled "Politics" (https://endnotes.org.uk/posts/carl-schmitt-politics-1936) that leaves little doubt that his politics were Nazi politics, and Nazi politics were his politics. The relationship to the politics of Maoism (https://newdiscourses.com/2023/02/woke-mao-and-the-american-cultural-revolution/), discussed elsewhere on the podcast, are also made clear. Join him for this eye-opening look into the Nazi political world, which is particularly alarming given the Woke Right effort to mainstream Schmitt in conservative politics today.

The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Ep. 184 At the center of the Nazi Experiment is the Jewish Question, undeniably. The Jewish Question amounts to asking "what should we do with the Jews?" in this case, in Europe. Across the entirety of his project, Adolf Hitler had a straightforward answer, though the specifics differed: get rid of them, all of them. In fact, he proudly campaigned for himself on the project of "solving the Jewish Question," not just on matters of German national pride or the economy, as is sometimes wrongly reported. In this episode of the New Discourses Podcast, the ninth volume in the deep Nazi Experiment series, host James Lindsay takes you through Hitler's infamous 1939 speech to the Reichstag as well as a lesser-known letter Hitler wrote in 1919, showing remarkable consistency in Hitler's vision for the Jews over the entirety of the Nazi Experiment. Join him to see, yet again, the ominous parallels to our own time today. Latest from New Discourses Press!

The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Ep. 169 Continuing the unique New Discourses treatment of the Nazi Experiment, which the Nazis proposed as a way for Germany to solve its "Weimar problems," we find ourselves having just learned that the Nazi "World Concept" (worldview or weltanschauung) is "racialist." But what does it contain? In this episode of the New Discourses Podcast, host James Lindsay takes us backwards into Chapter 11 of Volume 1 of Adolf Hitler's Mein Kampf to explain exactly what Hitler believed the "master race" thing was about, and who it was against (you know who!). Join him to continue peeling back the layers of lies we are currently being fed about the Nazis and to learn how horrifying their "experiment" really was always intended to be. Latest book!

The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Ep. 173 Beginning in 1920 and running until its catastrophic failure in 1945, the National Socialists under Adolf Hitler ran a grand societal experiment: the Nazi Experiment. While it is general knowledge that this experiment was a total failure and abjectly evil, what constitutes the experiment isn't well known. As a result, people (especially young right-wing people) are forgetting the Nazis were truly evil and sadly think they, somehow, can resurrect this experiment and make it work this time. To address this rising concern, host James Lindsay of the New Discourses podcast is publishing a winding series on the Nazi Experiment. In this episode, he reads through chapter 5 of the second volume of Hitler's Mein Kampf to show just how deeply the Nazi "racialist" worldview was embedded in everything the Nazis did. As usual, much of the content is horrifying for the sane but aware listener of today because so much of it is being repeated on social media, particularly by our young people.

The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Ep. 167 As recently introduced on the New Discourses Podcast, the Nazis performed an experiment of sorts (https://newdiscourses.com/2025/03/woke-nationalism-and-the-nazi-experiment/) between the mid 1920s and 1945, when that experiment met its catastrophic end. Framing what they did as an experiment is a valuable perspective. They found themselves in a certain set of unpleasant societal conditions, and they turned to Nazism to solve their problems. It failed. Miserably and disastrously. That experiment is therefore a warning to the world: if you find yourselves in conditions that seem similar, do not go the way of the Nazis. In this New Discourses podcast series, host James Lindsay walks the listener through portions of Hitler's Mein Kampf to explain clearly what the basis for the Nazi Experiment was, so that we might understand it. In this first episode, he reads from Chapter 1 of Volume 2 of that wretched book to explain the Nazi racial worldview (weltanshauung), which built the state we know and rightly hate on deliberate, knowing "racialism" (racism). Join him to understand and to see how close history is to rhyming again. New book!

The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Ep. 171 Welcome to the third volume in the crucially important New Discourses Podcast series on "the Nazi Experiment," which is largely but not entirely a direct exposé of Adolf Hitler's Mein Kampf. In the previous episodes (Prequel (https://newdiscourses.com/2025/03/woke-nationalism-and-the-nazi-experiment/); Ep. 1 (https://newdiscourses.com/2025/06/the-nazi-experiment-vol-1-the-nazi-racial-worldview/); Ep. 2 (https://newdiscourses.com/2025/07/the-nazi-experiment-hitlers-nazi-race-ideology)), we revealed that Hitler very much intended National Socialism to be a grand experiment in a totalitarian state based on a new political ideology based in what he called a "racialist World-concept" (Ford translation). We explored how blatantly his project was based on racial occultism and eugenics and the racial hatred of Jews. In this episode of the series, host James Lindsay reads from the fourth chapter of Volume 2 of Mein Kampf to show how Hitler's worldview required the right elevation of the individual through his subordination to the worldview and service to his Nazi experiment. Join James to peel back another layer of this stinking onion and unmask much of the propaganda we're seeing from bad actors aligned with the Woke Right today. Latest book!
