Bookmark: Quinn Slobodian über Dubai
Habe gerade das Kapitel über #Dubai in Quinn Slobodians Crack-up Capitalism (Slobodian, 2024) gelesen. Knapp, gut lesbar und analytisch stellt Slobodian dar, wie Dubai seit den 1970er Jahren zum Inbegriff eines neuen Typs von Staat wurde, in dem autoritäre Regierung und Business nicht voneinander trennbar sind. Curtis Yarvin (auf den ich erst über die Beschäftigung mit Peter Thiel gestoßen bin) hat Dubai immer wieder als Vorbild für kommende autoritäre Staaten promoted. Dubai hat sein […]https://wittenbrink.net/bookmark-quinn-slobodian-ueber-dubai/

Greta Thunberg und der Antichrist: Antiklimapolitik als Kern der Zerstörung des demokratischen Staats
In meinem kurzen Post über Peter Thiel gestern habe ich den Punkt nicht erwähnt, der im Zusammenhang der Lektüre zur Klimakatastrophe – meinem Hauptthema – vielleicht der wichtigste ist: die Verbindung zwischen der autoritären Rechten und dem Kampf gegen die Klimabewegung. Meine Hypothese ist, dass sich die Rechte in den USA und Europa heute vom historischen Faschismus vor allem unterscheidet, weil sie wirksame Klimapolitik bekämpft. Anders formuliert: Die Klimakrise ist nicht eine von mehreren Krisen, auf die die Rechte antwortet, sondern sie ist der für ihr Handeln und ihren Erfolg entscheidende Faktor. Diese Hypothese ist intuitiv vielleicht einleuchtend, aber schwer zu belegen – vielleicht ist sie auch zu essentialistisch. Thiels Wut auf die Klimabewegung – bis hin zum Vergleich von Greta Thunberg mit dem Antichrist – verstehe ich als Argument für diese These. Dabei geht es Thiel nicht – wie anderen Förderern Trumps – primär um Erhaltung und Ausbau der fossilen Industrien, sondern darum, Klima- und Umweltpolitik als Kernstück auch anderer staatlicher Regulation zu unterbinden.

"#Neoliberals had always been concerned with the extra-economic conditions for capitalism’s survival, but they had usually focused on law, religion, and morality. The growing influence of Friedrich #Hayek’s ideas of cultural evolution and the mainstream popularity of neuroscience and evolutionary psychology led many to turn to the harder sciences. Changing demographics—an aging white population matched by an expanding nonwhite population—made some right-wing neoliberals and libertarians rethink the conditions necessary for #capitalism. Perhaps some cultures, and even some races, might be predisposed to market success while others were not? Perhaps #culturalhomogeneity was a precondition for social stability, and thus the peaceful conduct of market exchange and enjoyment of #privateproperty?"

#Historian DESTROYS Big Myth Of Trump and New #FarRight (with #QuinnSlobodian author of #HayeksBastards: The #Neoliberal Roots of the #PopulistRight
-
"In his latest book,"Hayek’s Bastards: Race, Gold, IQ, and the #Capitalism of the #FarRight", #QuinnSlobodian writes that the rise of the contemporary right — both in its #technolibertarian and more #authoritarian strains — cannot be understood without considering neoliberal thinkers’ turn to nature and science as a buttress against demands for #socialjustice and #affirmativeaction in the 1990s.
"The book was intended as a corrective to the narrative in which the far right was understood as a response to the excesses of #neoliberalglobalization.
The idea is to understand how people who prioritize #economicfreedom above all else would find helpful allies in people who believe in natural forms of hierarchy such as race, gender, and intelligence.
Things like the present project of destroying the #worldtrade system are not explainable by simple structural incentives. It has a very strange intellectual coherence, but one that you can map out.
There’s a concerted effort right now in the United States to make the practice of scholarship as we’ve understood it impossible. It’s really an effort to defund #highereducation."https://jacobin.com/2025/04/race-science-neoliberalism-hayek-slobodian/

"[T]his #newRight does not really reject globalism but advances a new strain of it [...] The fix it finds in race, culture, and nation is but the most recent iteration of a pro-market philosophy based not on the idea that we are all the same but that we are in a fundamental, and perhaps permanent way, different." - #QuinnSlobodian

Lektüre zum Klimanotstand, 19. März 2025
Notizen zu Texten von Quinn Slobodian und Bruno Latour Saudi-Arabien als Vorbild Durch einen Essay bin ich auf Quinn Slobodian aufmerksam geworden. In Does Trump Want America to Look More Like Saudi Arabia? (2025) stellt er dar, wie sehr Donald Trump Saudi-Arabien verehrt und wie eng Trumps Beziehungen dorthin sind. Slobodians These, die ich zuerst als nur ironisch missverstanden habe, ist: Wenn man ein Vorbild dafür sucht, wie Trump die USA umgestalten will, ist Saudi-Arabien wichtiger als die Faschismen der 20er und 30er Jahre. Die fossilen Größenphantasien Trumps (Slobodian nennt es nicht so; sein Fokus ist hier nicht die Klimaproblematik) gleichen denen des saudischen Kronprinzen Mohammed bin Salman.

Was passiert in USA? Passiert das auch irgendwann uns?
#QuinnSlobodian ist der Frage nachgegangen in seinem Buch: Kapialismus ohne #Demokratie, hier mit Leseprobe:
https://www.thalia.de/shop/home/artikeldetails/A1068404801
Ein Artikel auf blaetter.de hat eine Zusammenfassung erstellt, die aufschlußreiche Einblicke vermittelt in das was gerade in den #USA läuft, wie es dazu kam und wie es uns beeinflußen kann. Innere Zerstörung der #Staaten und Bürger-Kriege für Kleinstaaten gehören zum Kalkül dazu.

“Crack-Up #Capitalism”: #Historian #QuinnSlobodian on #Trump, #Musk & the Movement to “Shatter” the State
#DemocracyNow, February 20, 2025
"Who are the minds behind #DOGE, and what do they really believe? Historian Quinn Slobodian says three strains of #conservatism have converged to form the second Trump administration’s #AntiDemocratic coalition: finance-backed #CorporateInterests previously friendly to the #DemocraticParty, #ChristianConservative think tanks who have long advocated for the end of the administrative state, and the online-driven movement of reactionary extremists who traffic in #WhiteSupremacist and #NeoNazi rhetoric. Meanwhile, says Slobodian, 'Trump is a person who doesn’t believe in much, but he believes in #money,' leaving him willing to enact the political visions of these three #ProCapitalist projects. Slobodian, an expert in German history, also discusses the connections between the Trump sphere and Germany’s far-right Alternative for #Germany (#AfD) party, supported by Musk and Vice President #JDVance.'"

Dans son dernier ouvrage, «Le #Capitalisme de l’apocalypse», l’historien canadien #QuinnSlobodian continue d’explorer les liens contemporains entre capitalisme et #démocratie. Cette fois, il explore les leviers utilisés par les libertariens pour réaliser leur sinistre utopie.

Forgot I wanted to post this earlier this week. @QuinnSlobodian has also written an article for the Financial Times (linked in the DN transcript), but I'm not a subscriber. Will try to get through my library; meanwhile @AmyGoodman has a great interview here with comprehensive references.

This excerpt from Quinn Slobodian's new book is amazing. It ties together the history of American neoliberalism and the alt-right in ways that I had only vaguely understood previously. A must read!
