Even if billionaire Elon Musk does not follow the ideas of his infamous grandfather Joshua N. Haldeman (who supported the new apartheid regime) and he did not demonstrate a Nazi salute after US President Donald Trump’s inauguration, this cannot change the fact that a fascist component is present in the US conservative politics, the leader of the Essence of Time movement, philosopher and political scientist Sergey Kurginyan said on January 24 on the program Conversation with a Sage on radio Zvezda.
The analyst commented Elon Musk’s gesture during his speech after Trump’s inauguration. Many believed that the gesture that Musk made twice was a Nazi salute.
“I would like to avoid any linear demonization here that now Nazism has come and that he is making a Nazi salute. However, it will inevitably be present as a component in the ongoing process,” Sergey Kurginyan explained.
The political scientist also reminded about ambiguity of Tucker Carlson who is also in Trump’s team.
After Carson interviewed President of Russia Vladimir Putin and “he had to wash it off before all the Western security services, he expressed various dubious ideas, in particular, that [Putin’s] the most insane idea was denazification,” Kurginyan reminded.
The philosopher called a tragedy everything “related to liberal America, Roosevelt’s state-liberal America, anti-fascist and democratic humanistic America – all this has been wiped off by a post-modernist dirty flood that is rightfully associated with the Democratic Party.”
Sergey Kurginyan stressed that in an attempt to “find out whether there is anything less disgusting we turn to the Republican Party and Trump, to the conservatives.”
According to the political scientist, this is a law of contemporary life, which follows from the fact that “all these progressists have become incredibly disgusting, and they have come to incredibly hate statehood, humanism, Man, and everything else.”
In such a situation one will rightfully turn to the opponents of the democrats, i.e. to the conservatives. “This is right. They are more decent guys. They keep at least some of the values,” the philosopher explained.
However, “our organic and fair sympathy for the conservatives is transforming into a feeling that we can do business with them. And this is a great mistake,” Kurginyan stressed.
