“The truth is that the language and imagery of this deeply anti-industrial movement were co-opted by the Nazis to gain support for their ultra-industrial programme – in the same way that the mainstream “green” movement today has been captured and used to advance the “sustainable” Fourth Industrial Revolution.” — Excellent analogy!

The reason “...Klages has completely disappeared from the cultural scene in general and the philosophical scene in particular” (Bishop), is what it always is: it's the price paid for being over the target.

“This, of course, is really why Klages has been sidelined and smeared by the system.” — That and, I would suggest, “Klages’s strong opposition to Zionism” you mentioned earlier. Openly expressing an unwillingness to kiss the Zionist ring has its consequences.

Agreed that the analogy to modern-day "green" movements is apt. Paul has a great ability here to to tie in many of the narratives we're seeing in the modern day as parallel to much of what has come before, in a way I've not quite seen anyone else do. Well done Paul!

Reading one of your pieces never fails to open a door to a larger world I never knew existed. It's exhilarating! Thank you.
