Smith Narrated by Joshua Noyer For the philosopher—the lover of, and believer in, unity—is not surprised by differences; he expects them: he is quite ready to acknowledge them, and has no desire to ignore or belittle them. What he believes in is not mere or blank unity, or unity alongside of differences, or even unity permitting them, but systematic or organic...

Within a liberal democratic context, there is no other solution than to import people from abroad to fill these roles. The limited nature of the liberal democratic government, (its adherents believing that gove...

Do Not Vote
October 25, 2020 04:31 - 36 minutes - 33.4 MBRead Along: https://www.nationalreformation.org/post/do-not-vote Written by The Ax Narrated by Joshua Noyer "Another reason for not voting is legitimizing capitalism and its ethos. This means you recognize the prevailing order should exist by participating in it, just like the crime example above. Legitimacy results when people say that it is OK to continue with a structure or action. Codification by law solidifies it formally, but there is de facto legitimation, as in using crypto-cur...

It ignores nothing and keeps aloof from nothing which touches the citizen’s interest, which is its own interest, neither in economics nor in morals. The state is neither a grand, facade nor an empty building: it is man himself, the house, built, inhabited, and enlivened by human joys, pains, ...

Politics is Cancer
October 11, 2020 06:26 - 17 minutes - 16.5 MBRead Along: https://www.nationalreformation.org/post/politics-is-cancer Written and Narrated by Joshua Noyer As the franchise is extended, however, politics comes to resemble more and more a marketplace.

It is the objective mind which is subjective and self-conscious in its citizens—it feels and knows itself in the heart of each. It speaks the word of command and gives the field of accomplishment, and in the activity of obedience it has ...

Fascism and America
August 15, 2020 04:11 - 25 minutes - 34.7 MBWritten by Mario Palmieri Narrated by Anthony Drummond "Fascism – in its purest and truest expression – is nothing more than what we have not and what, instead, we should have with us and within us if we want to retain any aspiration of a truly civilized nation."

Metaphysical idealism
August 07, 2020 05:48 - 16 minutes - 23.3 MBWritten by Wilbur Urban Narrated by Joshua Noyer "Any philosophy, we said, written in the tradition of historic idealism is in its totality a philosophy of spirit. It gives a privileged position to mind or spirit in its interpretation of the world. If the world is to be viewed as a totality at all and classical idealism has always believed that there are reasons for so viewing it that totality must be conceived as organic rather than as a mechanical aggregate, as mental rather than as me...

Separation of Powers
June 07, 2020 05:11 - 20 minutes - 28 MBWritten and Narrated by Joshua Noyer "While America’s politicians still insist on “tilting at windmills” and fitting square pegs into round holes by engaging in polemics surrounding the dangers of a lack of checks and balances, a new power establishment has arisen, which knows no values and exists without a check to its power, Corporate America." https://www.nationalreformation.org/post/separation-of-powers
A Noi!
April 26, 2020 23:14 - 21 minutes - 29.6 MBWritten by Arnaldo Mussolini Narrated by Evan Tobia Fascism in its preliminary phase, was not mere reaction to bolshevism.

The Corporative Idea
April 19, 2020 20:32 - 30 minutes - 27.7 MBWritten by Mario Palmeri Narrated by John Maniglia "Having denied historic materialism, which sees in man mere puppets on the surface of history, appearing and disappearing on the crest of the waves, while the real, directing forces move and work in the depths, Fascism also denies the immutable and irreparable character of the class struggle which is the natural outcome of this economic conception of history."

The Integral Center
March 09, 2020 05:17 - 15 minutes - 14 MBWritten and Narrated by Joshua Noyer "A single party does what a multiplicity fails at.

The Whole Self
February 18, 2020 05:24 - 9 minutes - 8.37 MBWritten by F.H. Bradley Narrated by Joshua Noyer "In morality the existence of my mere private self, as such, is something which ought not to be, and which, so far as I am moral, has already ceased.

Indianapolis, IN: Bobbs-Merrill Educational Pub., 1951. https://www.nationalreformation.org/post/the-whole-self
The Political Doctrine of Fascism
February 10, 2020 00:10 - 1 hour - 58.6 MBWritten by Alfredo Rocco Narrated by Joshua Noyer "There is a Liberal theory of freedom, and there is a Fascist concept of liberty. For we, too, maintain the necessity of safeguarding the conditions that make for the free development of the individual; we, too, believe that the oppression of individual personality can find no place in the modern state. We do not, however, accept a bill of rights which tends to make the individual superior to the state and to empower him to act in opposit...
Loyalty to What, to Whom?
February 03, 2020 06:43 - 16 minutes - 23.1 MBWritten and Narrated by Joshua Noyer "If nothing else is self-evident about us humans, it’s that we have a need, a desire to belong to something greater than ourselves. Our history is full of examples of people fighting and dying for causes which they could barely define, yet conceptualize." https://www.nationalreformation.org/post/loyalty-to-what-to-whom

December 28, 2019 06:15 - 5 minutes - 7.58 MBWritten and Narrated by Cory Faust If Greta Thunberg and her student climate activists exist, protest, and speak out about the climate it does not mean that the problems of our environment are fake news. Many in America routinely react to issues identified on the news, whether it comes from Fox News, MSNBC, or CNN. Rather than shaping a view on issues facing us based on scientific evidence and truth, many would rather let emotions heat up and react to positions taken by those they disagree ...

December 23, 2019 06:29 - 18 minutes - 25.8 MBWritten and Narrated by B.K. Burton Read-Along https://www.nationalreformation.org/post/the-great-adventure Real fascists occupy a very awkward position in modern day America where the term fascist is loosely used and flung at opponents as a pejorative.
Let Me Paint You a Picture
December 05, 2019 07:25 - 19 minutes - 22.2 MBWritten and Narrated by Joshua Noyer If State and government are not identical, then what are they; more importantly what is the State? Government exists within its institutions. Executive bodies, legislatures, and courts are easily identifiable and having shape and form. The State, being the product of human thought, lacks these qualities, so how can its portrait be drawn? How is it to be portrayed? https://www.nationalreformation.org/post/let-me-paint-you-a-picture
Government of and by Cliches
December 03, 2019 13:36 - 16 minutes - 22.2 MBWritten and Narrated by Joshua Noyer When our political system is built upon the same capitalist principles: the ideas of the State, general will, and public good, ideals which animated the political class at one time are pushed to the side as they have no place in a society dominated by the marketplace. https://www.nationalreformation.org/post/government-of-and-by-cliches

With it, today, we establish Futurism, because we want to free this land from its smelly gangrene of professors, archaeologists, ciceroni and antiquarians. For too long has Italy been a dealer in second-hand clothes. We mean to free her f...

Corporate State and the NRA
October 04, 2019 05:02 - 32 minutes - 74.3 MBWritten by Giussepe Bottai Narrated by Evan Tobia "But given the present situation, it would seem that American public opinion must change greatly before the state, capital, and labor will be in a position to move harmoniously toward their common goal. In Italy a good part of the journey has already been completed. An equilibrium has been established, without a complete fusion or loss of individuality, between capital and labor, between labor and the state, and between the state and capita...

September 19, 2019 07:34 - 21 minutes - 19.5 MBWritten by Josiah Royce Narrated by Joshua Noyer A crowd, whether it be a dangerous mob, or an amiably joyous gathering at a picnic, is not a community.
