A Podcast Featuring Paul Gottfried

The first episode of Discourses is online, on the Conservative Movement with Paul Gottfried. Think of this as a more interesting and belligerent version of Conversations with Bill Kristol. We talk neocons, paleocons, fusionism, and Paul's reading list.https://t.co/zDlGidpynB

Gottfried on Aristotle's Politics

“Aristotle denies the existence of an ideal government applicable to all societies; instead, he looks at various governments that are appropriate for different peoples in different situations,” Paul Gottfried writes. https://t.co/1vxSCfpNOP

— Chronicles Magazine (@ChroniclesMag) November 24, 2020

Although there have been various attempts to “democratize” Aristotle, it may be necessary to understand the very circumscribed form in which Aristotle understood self-rule. It was an exercise in political autonomy practiced by a culturally homogeneous group made up of male-dominated households. Remnants of this Aristotelian model can still be found in early American society and in the traditional Swiss Republic. But trying to relate Aristotle’s concept of a viable democracy to current political preferences would be a bit of a stretch.

Me: Find Your Tribe, Prepare for the Future

Paul Gottfried today at American Greatness: "The Left is more emotionally and, in some cases, more heroically committed to what it wants. We need to change that." While conservatives fight over gifts and approval, the left plays for keeps. https://t.co/y3aAqzijBd

Another Review of the Vanishing Tradition

A very good review of Paul Gottfried's new book, “The Vanishing Tradition: Perspectives on American Conservatism," by Bradford H. B. "In today’s social chaos, we might be witnessing the logical culmination of the idea of propositional nationhood." https://t.co/jKF1dAtCUm

The best-case scenario might be that the Left merely sees riots as politically advantageous at the moment, and will not actually mainstream them as a general form of politics. But you never know. https://t.co/iD6PofJkYM

Interesting

Hazony goes farther than Gottfried in calling it Marxism.

.@yhazony explains, in simple, clear language, the basic framework of Marxist social analysis. It will be clear to any reader that the progressive movements today are fundamentally Marxist — applied to race, gender, and sexual identities. https://t.co/3hp8vAPuBA

Paul Gottfried on the Conservative Outrage Against ConInc.

Prominent conservatives have made a show of chastising Conservatism Inc.’s inability to stand up to the left. Don't be fooled. This hand-wringing over a conservative betrayal is “artificial negativity” and controlled opposition.

Paul Gottfried Reviews R.R. Reno's Latest Book

The Agonist: The Gutless Persuasion on the Return of the Strong Gods by Paul Gottfried

Let me also note that what held together ancient democracies, and what Rousseau properly observed as their strength, was homonoia, a loyalty to the polity, its cult and its history. Today it is doubtful that our football fans embody the same shared sentiments. Reno fails to see that a democracy of, say, 10,000 citizens with the same cultural and moral principles wouldn’t practice self-government in a more meaningful sense than sports enthusiasts bellowing out the national anthem. Certainly, size and heterogeneity affect the quality of a democracy. Still, I wouldn’t expect Russell Reno to concede something so obvious, unless it were in his professional interest.

I think that one sentence should be: "Reno fails to see that a democracy of, say, 10,000 citizens with the same cultural and moral principles would..."
