Richard Seymour discusses his recent blogpost on the so-called lockdown sceptics, and in particular the work of Toby Green and his book 'The Covid Consensus: The Global Assault on Democracy and the Poor—A Critique from the Left'. We talked about the straw man arguments, factual inaccuracies and conspiratorial thinking that characterise the book and the lockdown sceptic literature more generally. We also talked about why parts of the left have been receptive to some of this work and also what to make of the alliance between some self-styled anti-woke leftists and religious conservatives.

Interregnum - on the lockdown 'sceptics'

Adam Tooze returns to PTO to discuss the key causal factors that allowed fascism to emerge in the early twentieth century and whether conditions that would enable fascism on the interwar model exist today. We also talked about whether describing the Bolsanaros, the Le Pens and the Orbans of this world as fascist may be analytically wrong but tactically effective, and about how close the Latin American dictatorships of the 1970s and 80s are to the fascist model.

WHERE DID YOU VISUALISE YOURSELF WHEN PUTTING THIS MIX TOGETHER?
Wandering a vast alpine valley in the Southern Alps, beech leaves on the track, golden tussock on the flats, grey rocks in the river, and glaciers looming at the head of the valley.

FAVOURITE PARK BEVERAGE?
A well made dry heritage cider that doesn’t mind getting a little warm with some slow sipping.

SUMMER 23/24 ALBUM/JAM?
I just came across 2020's Flux and Contemplation by Simon Posford which is now in regular rotation for calming my mind. Not a jam per se, but a real absorbing journey.

SANDALS OR JANDALS?
Sandals for now, but when they finally lose contain, maybe jandals.

ANYTHING ELSE TO ADD?
This mix ended up with a bittersweet melancholia about it. It feels like saying goodbye to a dear friend who’s going away for a long time.
