    Political Lesbianism

    In this, their final episode, Holly and Jonathan discuss political lesbianism. Is lesbianism innate or a political choice? Are political lesbians superior to heterosexual feminists?

    Immigration and Intelligence

    Holly and Jonathan discuss a controversial article published in the Journal of Controversial ideas that claims to have found that recent immigrants and refugees in Germany have lower average IQs than the German population, with implications for their participation in the labour market. The journal also published three critical responses that Holly and Jonathan discuss. The articles can be found here. The Political Animals is co-hosted by: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Jonathan Cole⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, an academic interested in conservatism, libertarianism, political ideology and political theology; and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Holly Lawford-Smith⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, an academic working in moral and political philosophy, with a particular interest in feminist theory and movement.

    Far-Right Anarchism

    Holly and Jonathan discuss an essay by right-wing libertarian Hans-Hermann Hoppe arguing for a stateless society based on comprehensive private property, along with his view of the different anthropologies that shape the left and the right (and his view that white, heterosexual males are responsible for progress and prosperity). The Political Animals is co-hosted by: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Jonathan Cole⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, an academic interested in conservatism, libertarianism, political ideology and political theology; and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Holly Lawford-Smith⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, an academic working in moral and political philosophy, with a particular interest in feminist theory and movement.

  4. Aleksandr Dugin: The Fourth Political Theory

    1月26日

    Aleksandr Dugin: The Fourth Political Theory

    Is there an alternative to the hegemony of liberalism? Controversial Russian philosophy Aleksandr Dugin proposes a Fourth Political Theory (beyond liberalism, communism and fascism) to address the empty degeneration of postliberalism, construed as the post-ideological form of liberalism that has triumphed and reigns globally today. Dugin proposes a multipolar civilisational new world order in which various antilibearl traditionalisms can thrive in communities connected by language, religion and culture. Is his critique of liberalism cogent? Does the Fourth Political Theory only make sense in the Russian context? Is Dugin even able to articular its content as a theory and practice? The Political Animals is co-hosted by: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Jonathan Cole⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, an academic interested in conservatism, libertarianism, political ideology and political theology. Jonathan writes for Liberty Itch on Substack; and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Holly Lawford-Smith⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, an academic working in moral and political philosophy, with a particular interest in feminist theory and movement. You can find Holly on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Twitter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠. Want to see our faces? Check out our ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ channel.

    Far-Right Utopias

    Jonathan and Holly discuss far-right intentional communities and utopias, using two case-studies that appeared in a recent special issue of the Journal of Political Ideologies focusing on far-right utopias in practice. One case-study focuses on a Traditionalist community in Indiana in the US and the other looks at the Heralds of the Gospel in Brazil. The Political Animals is co-hosted by: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Jonathan Cole⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, an academic interested in conservatism, libertarianism, political ideology and political theology; and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Holly Lawford-Smith⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, an academic working in moral and political philosophy, with a particular interest in feminist theory and movement.

  6. Abortion

    Abortion

    Jonathan and Holly ask whether abortion is more a question of values or science? Whether the ethical or the legal is the most difficult aspect of the issue? Whether men should have any say on abortion? Whether abortion is a question of individual choice or majority opinion? And the role of symbolism in the way people understand the foetus. The Political Animals is co-hosted by: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Jonathan Cole⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, an academic interested in conservatism, libertarianism, political ideology and political theology; and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Holly Lawford-Smith⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, an academic working in moral and political philosophy, with a particular interest in feminist theory and movement.

    White Fragility

    Do white people need to become race conscious? Is America a white supremacist culture? Is racisim a structure rather than an event? Should white women cry in the presence of women of colour?

The Political Animals is co-hosted by: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Jonathan Cole⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, an academic interested in conservatism, libertarianism, political ideology and political theology; and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Holly Lawford-Smith⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, an academic working in moral and political philosophy, with a particular interest in feminist theory and movement.
