We discussed: * continuities between the political economy of 1930s Nazi Germany and the political economy of the West since 2020;* emergency powers and the incremental legislation of totalitarianism;* the attack on the working and middle classes; * the production of ideological conformity;* the failure of the professions to challenge power;* euthanasia and eugenics; * health surveillance, ecopolitics, hijacking conscience;* discontinuities between the two eras; * the preference of the transnational ruling class for totalitarianism in moments of acute capitalist crisis;* the plan to roll out Chinese-style technocracy in the West; * the “Covid-19” operation; * the “gain of function” narrative as an element of perception management; * technocracy and the Internet of Things;* Sheldon Wolin’s notion of “inverted totalitarianism”; and* the role of the media in Nazi Germany and today.
