Many thanks to Gary Null for inviting me to appear on The Progresive Commentary Hour. We discussed:

• continuities between the political economy of 1930s Nazi Germany and the political economy of the West since 2020;
• emergency powers and the incremental legislation of totalitarianism;
• the attack on the working and middle classes;
• the production of ideological conformity;
• the failure of the professions to challenge power;
• euthanasia and eugenics;
• health surveillance, ecopolitics, hijacking conscience;
• discontinuities between the two eras;
• the preference of the transnational ruling class for totalitarianism in moments of acute capitalist crisis;
• the plan to roll out Chinese-style technocracy in the West;
• the “Covid-19” operation;
• the “gain of function” narrative as an element of perception management;
• technocracy and the Internet of Things;
• Sheldon Wolin’s notion of “inverted totalitarianism”; and
• the role of the media in Nazi Germany and today.
