Join the most interesting and insightful discussions.
First is Nazi jurist Carl Schmitt and his notion of the political as the distinction between friend and enemy. We need to reduce the salience of politics to reduce the enemy temptation.
Second is Gaetano Mosca's notion of the "political formula." Every ruling class has a political formula to justify its rule. Our ruling class believes it fights for the oppressed against the oppressors. Sorry Charlie: the only oppressors are the ruling class.
Third is Bertrand de Jouvenel and his notion of Power. Power wants to demolish all social and cultural and legal institutions and create a wasteland between Power and the individual. We must rebuild the mediating institutions back up so they can push back against Power.
Notice that none of the three are "Anglo-Saxons." But we Anglo-Saxons must learn from them.
