  3. Impressive rhetorical calisthenics would be required not to describe the "Remigration Summit" as fascist or neo-fascist,
    or at least highly fash-curious.

    (And only a few of its participants would be mad if you did.)

    At least officially, Europe’s major far-right parties kept their distance from the whole affair:

    Marine Le Pen’s National Rally in France avoids the term entirely,
    and Germany’s AfD took a P.R. battering after an earlier remigration event in 2023.

    So it was mostly a bunch of Euro-prep dweebs from way more marginal parties,
    including Austrian remigration guru
    #Martin #Sellner, possessor of another Nazi-themed haircut;

    #Afonso #Gonçalves from Portugal’s Reconquista,
    a name that specifically recalls the expulsion of Muslims from the Iberian peninsula in the 15th century;

    and #Andrea #Ballarati, who left Italy’s main far-right party to found an identitarian group called Azione Cultura Tradizione
    (which I don’t think requires translation).

    Nobody at a convention of right-wing crazies in 2026 has any direct connection to the fascist regimes of the 20th century, of course.

    But the ideological and philosophical lineage of these people is not difficult to trace.

    Take Sellner, the Austrian godfather of the remigration movement:

    He’s a protégé of German “nationalist intellectual” #Götz #Kubitschek,
    who has cited
    #Carl #Schmitt,
    leading political theorist of the Nazi era,
    as a key influence.

    The contemporary #Falangist movement in Spain explicitly borrows its name and iconography from Francisco Franco’s dictatorship.

    The anti-immigrant movement in Britain can be followed backward, step by step,
    through the British National Party to the National Front skinheads of the ‘70s,
    all the way to Oswald Mosley’s overtly pro-Nazi movement of the 1930s.

    Earlier international gatherings of far-right nationalists,
    such as the Montreux Fascist Conference of 1934,
    focused on a familiar enemy that had supposedly
    “installed themselves as if on foreign territory, openly or occultly exercising an influence harmful to the material and moral interests of the nation which shelters them.”

    They were talking about the Jews, of course,
    while today’s right-wing crusaders direct nearly identical language at Muslim immigrants.

    But anyone who believes that the contemporary remigration agenda isn’t profoundly shaped by antisemitic conspiracy theory has surrendered to a moral blindness nearly as bad as fascism itself.

  11. "Europe’s Schmittians are thus split between those, like Sellner, who have pan-European ambitions, and those whose primary point of reference remains the nation-state. On top of that, there is the conundrum of how to respond to American interference in Europe. Yes, AfD politicians welcomed J. D. Vance’s speech at the Munich Security Conference, but they understand that the pursuit of the American national interest will come at Europe’s — and thus Germany’s — expense. Washington clearly does not abide by the principle of nonintervention it enforces in its own so-called backyard.

    Embracing Schmitt’s theory of great spaces does not, in fact, help to resolve any of these matters. Ultimately, there was always a tension in Schmitt’s thought. He argued for equality between great spaces but also envisioned an eternal battle between land powers like Germany and sea powers like Britain and the United States — a life-or-death struggle he ardently wanted Germany and its continental European sphere to win. It is in this contradiction, which can be found too in the Right’s simultaneous embrace of ethnopluralism and white supremacism, that the Schmittians remain caught.

    It is thus unclear how Germany’s most recent infatuation with Schmitt’s order of great spaces will translate into political practice. Whether it is the far-right or centrist Schmittians who end up running the show, the likely outcome is not territorial annexation but economic hegemony. The result may be a return to the 2010s, when the centrist Schmittian Herfried Münkler played a key role in promoting German hegemony — as the Greeks remember all too well. Indeed, during that period, Münkler advised Wolfgang Schäuble, the conservative architect of externally imposed austerity and the federal debt brake."

  13. #SundayShowdown

    The #InspectorsGeneral report released Friday concluded that Sec #KegBreath's use of the commercial "#Signal" chat app to discuss an ACTIVE military mission "endangered both the mission & our troops."

    #Schmitt (above) dismissed the IG's report, claiming simply "they're wrong" and citing unrelated examples as his defense.

    No network should ever allow this dangerously stupid & insulting man (Schmitt) back on their broadcast. 😐

  20. « Une politique d’austérité, dogmatique, qui aggrave la crise et la misère ; un pouvoir exécutif qui fait adopter des mesures de destruction du modèle social à coups de 48-2 ; une gauche sociale-démocrate qui soutient cette politique afin, dit-elle, d’éviter le pire ; un régime politique qui (…) se présidentialise et concentre des pouvoirs exorbitants dans les mains faillibles d’un homme pas exagérément intelligent, mais orgueilleux et buté ; le règne des entourages qui, par une logique de darwinisme inversé, celle de la courtisanerie, promeut les plus incompétents et les moins dignes, ceux qui sont prêts à s’avilir pour devenir des « conseillers » et donner dès lors à peu près tout autre chose que de réels conseils ; une dissolution ratée ; une seconde dissolution, dangereuse, inepte, vu le contexte de croissance de l’extrême droite, mais demandée par cette même extrême droite, et accordée en gage de bonne volonté ; une défaite cuisante aux législatives ; le refus de tenir compte des résultats des élections ; la condamnation des « extrêmes » et la précision, immédiate, que certains sont plus extrêmes que d’autres, que ceux qui défendent la nation, les valeurs et la propriété seront toujours préférables à la gauche ; un milliardaire, magnat des médias et habité par une mission de résurrection nationale, qui bâtit un empire de presse et de cinéma pour imposer ses cadrages, ses thèmes et sa ligne à un pays qui plébiscitait la paix et la justice sociale (…); des paniques morales en -isme comme le « bolchevisme culturel », que l’on est bien en peine de définir, mais qui résume toutes les peurs liées à l’évolution des mœurs (féminisme, homosexualité, mode de vie urbain…) et à l’élévation générale du niveau d’éducation ; un gouvernement renversé dans des conditions humiliantes ; une autre dissolution, une autre défaite et, derechef, le refus de tenir compte du résultat ; un gouvernement chargé des affaires courantes qui s’éternise ; (…) l’incapacité du président à nommer un nouveau chef du gouvernement ; des mois de réflexion, au sommet de l’État, pour échafauder le meilleur scénario qui permette de rester au pouvoir, malgré les élections et en l’absence de majorité ; une politique de l’offre, ouvertement pro-business, faite de subventions aux entreprises et de crédits d’impôt ; des discours auto-justificateurs qui défendent cette ligne en clamant « nous ne sommes pas le gouvernement des riches » et « la meilleure politique sociale, c’est la politique de l’emploi » ; un patronat qui applaudit et qui en réclame toujours plus ; des projets de réforme de la Constitution dans le sens d’un renforcement du pouvoir exécutif ; des intrigues de couloir permanentes ; un commentariat qui bavasse sur l’humeur du président, son dernier rhume ou l’ultime grommellement en date (éternuement ? fulgurance politique ? décision majeure ?) en quête d’oracle et d’interprétation ; des libéraux autoritaires qui, au pouvoir, envisagent le recours à la force, car ils savent bien que leur politique est impopulaire ; ces mêmes libéraux autoritaires qui souhaitent faire alliance avec l’extrême droite, qui reculent car elle en veut trop, et font finalement le pari de lui confier le pouvoir… »

  22. The tradition begins with legal theorist
    #Carl #Schmitt
    and can be followed in the work of the political philosopher #Leo #Strauss,
    thinkers affiliated with the #Claremont #Institute,
    a California-based think tank with close ties to the Trump movement,
    and the contemporary writings of the legal scholar #Adrian #Vermeule.

    Many on the right have bristled at presidential power’s being constrained over the past century by two waves of administrative reform.

    The first dates back to the early 20th century and the rise of the bureaucratic-regulatory state during the Progressive and New Deal eras.

    The second wave emerged in the 1970s, as Congress responded to the abuses of power by Richard Nixon.

    The presidency has evolved to become an office exercising general (and often passive) oversight of vast departments and agencies,
    which are staffed by career civil servants who stay on across administrations.

    Presidents are constrained by layers of lawyers and others determining what is allowable based on law and precedent.

    This evolution came about in part because the presidency can be the office most susceptible to despotic or tyrannical rule.

    That’s where the more radical critique emanating from the hard right focuses its attention.

    Schmitt (who died in 1985) developed his most influential ideas during the turbulence and ineffectual governance of Germany’s Weimar Republic.

    In his view, liberalism has a fatal weakness.

    Its aversion to violent conflict drives it to smother intense debate with ostensibly neutral procedures that conceal the truth about the nature of politics.

  24. And incidentally, here is the man himself, Jack Schmitt, riding on a lunar rover test article at JSC just recently.

    nasa.gov/humans-in-space/nasa-

    He is still very much involved in lunar science and mission planning. Recently he has been promoting the idea of a first Artemis landing at a non-polar site which would be less technically challenging that a polar ridge. It could still be a scientifically important site. #moon #Apollo #Artemis #Schmitt
