      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

      This documentary about the contemporary Italian fascist youth hostel called CasaPound (i.e. in honor of Pound) is illuminating.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I3x-ge4w46E …

      That's also true of fascists in general since the 1920s!

      You've both drifted away from Jeet's claim that Pound's politics per se are taught in (presumably North American) universities. Still waiting for three examples and so far have seen none. Is it possible you'd like to revise your earlier claim?

      This whole exchange is a reminder of tedious it is to converse with someone who doesn't know anything and constantly reinterprets words beyond their meaning (i.e. Poundians = contemporary American professors). I will go back to ignoring.

          The original post was about universities, as many have pointed out to you, and as you surely know. This is a transparent dodge and ignoring it won't change that fact.

          That's not to mention the problems with most of your other examples, like Kant, whose racism is not the object of a youtube cult afaik.

          She literally asked you for examples in US universities, which YOU reinterpreted to include Italy. Take the L on this one

          Tedious indeed, Jeet! If I may add, Finnish coal executives used the same tactics to derail labor movements in the 1890s. There's a strong anti-union tradition at play. It's out of print, but William J Flanagan's "Taking the L" is an excellent primer.

          Her original claim was that pound et al are taught in American universities only historically, and not as purveyors of legit ideologies to be seriously grappled with in forming a worldview. What is the defect in her claim? That she's a pushy young woman?

          Is this an example of gaslighting? Alice🌹 specifically was talking about American universities Still, can you name three professors in American universities who are teaching Pound for his politics? If not, can you just say you can’t, but that you can name “Poundians” elsewhere?

          @HeerJeet Next time you accuse someone of not knowing anything maybe don’t lump Kant in with Calhoun, Schmitt and Heidegger.
