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

Replying to @xlorentzen @HeerJeet and
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?

The most academic famous book on Pound, still much taught, is The Pound Era, by Hugh Kenner, which goes out of its way to emphasize that Pound had an important social/political vision & wasn't just literature. That's the mainstream academic view of Pound.

But the mainstream academic view of Pound is not an endorsement of Social Credit--it's an endorsement of his phenomenal ear and cultural immersion. Nobody is going to pipe up in defense of his usury fixation, hatred of FDR (and, uh, Jews), or agrarian fantasies about America.

It's more than a little inconvenient for Jeet's argument that Kenner, the one example Jeet had in mind, is not only not teaching but has been dead for 18 years.

Remarkably Plato, Kant, Heidegger etc. are also dead and still exert an influence in academia.

The notion that Kant is fascist is utterly risible.

The claim is that Kant was a biological racist. Which is true.

You really haven't been near a college in a long time if you think you have a leg to stand on in this argument. You should just withdraw ur absurd claim. As I said, you;'re right about Schmitt and arguably Heidegger. That should be enough to dispute Hanania

Sigh. You keep introducing a lot of unnecessary complication here since you are positing that Hanania's original claim has to involve 1) explicitly political thinkers 2) whose politics are endorsed. But that's just not the case.
