      Anne Applebaum says you should read Critical Race Theory and Marxism. Once again, none of these people will recommend that universities teach fascists or white nationalists, even though many believe these ideas are highly relevant to today's politics!https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2021/06/milley-critical-race-theory-marxism-racism-fox-news/619308/ …

      Are you under the impression that Kant, Calhoun, Heidegger, Ezra Pound, Celine, Carl Schmitt, etc. are not widely taught? In fact, they are.

      My class on American political thought at Rutgers in the 1980s included Southern political theorists John Calhoun and George Fitzhugh, both white supremacist theorists of slavery as a positive good. (Fitzhugh thought it was the best kind of socialism!)

      Exactly. These thinkers are taught -- and if it were up to me would be taught more!

      Very odd that neither of you recognize a difference between ideas taught as an historical relic and ideas offered up for debate as possibly true. Schmitt fits the latter category, Calhoun the former. Celine and Pound are taught in ways utterly nonanalogous

      No, lots of people have taught (and continue to teach) Calhoun with admiration, including the editor of the Calhoun papers, the paleo-con Clyde Wilson. And som Poundians admire his politics. Your opinions on such things are often ill-informed.

      You're honestly telling me that in US universities Pound is currently taught for his politics by fascist admirers? You'd of course need more than one example to make your point about this being a regular thing but I'd be interested to know if you even have, say, three examples?

      Considering how many conservatives went to bat for Pound in the 1950s, I think it’s fair to say at least *some* people in this tradition are teaching him today.

      If you can't name even three it's not fair to say that at all. The state of ideological play at universities 70 years ago is rarely telling about the same unis today AFAIK the only bats still going for Pound want to teach him despite his politics, not because of them

      Matteo Salvini tweeted out a Pound quite a couple weeks ago. Pretty loud dog whistle to the ultras. Lega MEP Mario Borghezio and Cold War terrorist Stefano Delle Chiaie reportedly involved.

          Grove City or Hillsdale, probably. Maybe Claremont.

          You'll notice that in my original tweet I said Poundians. Alice, as is her wont, invented the specification of American professor. Pound's reach has always been inside and outside the academy.
