In this episode of the Brussels Signal Horizon Podcast, Ralph discusses with Carl Benjamin, also known as Sargon of Akkad, the political developments in Great Britain, particularly the protests and rallies organised by Tommy Robinson.
They shed light on the tyrannical tendencies in British politics, the Epping Hotel crisis, the ideology of human rights, and the role of elites in migration.
The discussion also covers institutional ideology and the importance of national identity and symbols. In this discussion, the topics of loyalty and patriotism in public service, the ideological intentions in the police, the role of institutions and their influence on society, as well as the responsibility of communities, are addressed. It is discussed how liberalism influences the perception of minorities and majorities, and what moral responsibilities exist in society. The challenges of honour and community are also addressed, as well as the state’s blindness to societal problems.
In this in-depth discussion, Carl Benjamin examines the roots of liberalism and the role of Karl Marx in political philosophy. He argues that Marx functions as a kind of mirror of liberalism and illuminates the tensions between freedom and equality. The conversation continues and analyses the nature of capitalism, its flexibility, and the challenges it brings. Benjamin also addresses nationalism and the necessity of respecting the dignity of nations, while placing the spiritual dimension of politics and the needs of people in the foreground.
