In this episode, Thomas and Eren begin their journey into the realm of esoteric and wacky ideologies with National Bolshevism, a seemingly oxymoronic ideology that sought to synthesize the revolutionary aesthetics and economic autarky of the far-left with the ultranationalism and conservatism of the far-right. They begin this multi-part series by discussing what counts as National Bolshevism and its origins in Weimar Germany.
