Gefährliche Ideen – Armin Pfahl-Traughber und Andreas Rödder über die „Klassiker“ der Neuen Rechten und die Grenzen des Konservatismus

In the organizer's words:

Carl Schmitt, Ernst Jünger, Oswald Spengler - their names are returning. The anti-democratic thinking of the Weimar Republic's Conservative Revolution is experiencing an uncanny renaissance. Who are these pioneering thinkers and why do they still fascinate the New Right today? Extremism researcher Armin Pfahl-Traughber outlines the political "classics" of the New Right in Politische "Klassiker" der Neuen Rechten. Anti-democratic thinkers from the Weimar Republic traces the lines of tradition that extend to the present day. Historian Andreas Rödder ("Der verlorene Frieden"), founder of the liberal-conservative think tank "Republik21", asks: Where is the line between legitimate conservatism and intellectual right-wing extremism - and what good is the firewall as a political answer? A discussion about dangerous ideas, their return - and the question of what distinguishes conservatives from right-wing extremists today. Moderated by Jürgen Wiebicke
