Episode 9b. (BONUS) Interracial Racist Internationale! Strasserism in the UK

This was originally recorded in Episode 9, but it didn't really fit properly. So we decided to upload it as a bonus episode! In case you couldn't get enough of Strasserism, we talk about a bunch of blokes who practiced international solidarity among racists, sought a near primitivist economic policy, and simped for Gaddafi. Enjoy!

Episode 9, Strasserism after Strasser, Part 2

In this episode we conclude the journey of Strasserism by starting from Otto's return to Germany to Strasserist LARPs in Cyberspace and meatspace. We mainly focus on the rise and fall of various Strasserist cells and niche organizations throughout the late 20th century and get a migraine reading their names!

Episode 8, More Racist Germans!: Strasserism, Part 1

Ideologica Obscura is back with another Red-Brown ideology made by German racists! Having a parallel development to German National Bolshevism, Strasserism derives from the chaos and horror of the First World War and the political turmoil of Weimar Germany, in which the ideology seeks to offer a Third Way by combining soviet-style communism and racist ultranationalism. This alternative is presented by by brothers, Gregor and Otto Strasser, who were both assholes.

Episode 7, Racist Hippies: Ecofascism

Ideologica Obscura is back and we welcome our latest member to the team, Elliot! He joins us to suffer in learning about an ideology that is basically, "what if environmentalists were insane racists?" Welcome to the terrible world of Ecofascism. 
 
Our hearts go out to the families of the victims of the Buffalo Shooting and we hope they will receive justice.

Episode 6, Posadism with Andy Gittlitz

In this new episode, Thomas and Eren sit down and interview Andy Gittliz, a fellow podcaster from the Antifada podcast and writer of the book I Want To Believe: Posadism, UFOs, and Apocalypse Communism. We discuss how a working-class,  Argentinian footballer and bricklayer became one of the wackiest and most well known Trotskyist thinker of today. Through the topics of aliens and nuclear annihilation, political violence and sex, and senility and dolphins, we chart how his ideas became the modern meme ideology that is Posadism.

Episode 5, Jacobinism and The Cult of the Supreme Being, Part 2

On this episode, Eren and Thomas conclude the odyssey of the nerdy Jacobin campaign against Christianity. With the final Jacobin cult being the Cult of the Supreme Being, which was a product of none other than Maximilien "I am God" Robespierre. In this episode we talk about how Robespierre tried to make himself a prophet and died trying, while also going on enlightened tangents on religion, the meaning of life, and Game of Thrones.

Episode 4. Jacobinism and the Cult of Reason, Part 1

Today, Eren and Thomas go back in time to where ideologies began, the French Revolution. A time of political radicalism, extreme violence, and intellectuals with too much power in their hands. Especially when a couple of nerds decide to get rid of Christianity and replace it with logic and reason! This is the Cult of Reason and it only goes down hill from here. 

Episode 3. National Bolshevism, Part 3, Post-Soviet Era

In this third and final part of the National Bolshevism, Thomas and Eren discuss National Bolshevism emergence in post-Soviet Russia with Eduard Limonov and his National Bolshevik Party in the 90s and into the 21st century.
