What does it mean to be on the extreme political right? How is Aristotle considered a historical right-wing figure? What is the connection between conservatism and nostalgia? These are just some of the questions answered by Matt McManus, lecturer of political science at University of Michigan and author of "The Political Right and Equality: Turning Back the Tide of Egalitarian Modernity." He breaks down concepts such as how the right is unified by a hostility toward equality, reactionary politics, and the rise of fascism. We also discuss why Trump is the figure-head of the right wing movement in America but is not considered an intellectual, and who, then, is considered the intellectuals of the right wing movement in America and abroad. We then talk about why fascists believe there is a superior authority and what is required ideologically to make their arbitrary hierarchy function. All this and more in this week's episode.
