On 6 April 1967 Theodor W. Adorno gave a lecture at the University of Vienna as a guest of the Socialist Students of Austria, a lecture which, from today’s point of view, is not only of historical interest. Against the backdrop of the rise of the NPD, which in the first two years after its founding in November 1964 had already seen surprising success at the polls, Adorno analyses the goals, resources, and tactics of the new right-wing radicalism of his time. Contrasting it with »old« Nazi-Fascism, he gives a close examination of the reasons for which extreme right-wing movements were finding a positive reception – 20 years after the end of the war – in segments of the population of the Federal Republic. Since then a lot has changed, but some things have remained the same or even, 50 years on, come back again. And thus Aspects of Contemporary Right-Wing Radicalism reads like a message-in-a-bottle to the future, whose value for our present Volker Weiß presents in his afterword. The collected works of Theodor W. Adorno (1903-1969) are published by Suhrkamp Verlag and have been translated into more than 40 languages.
It‘s scary how what he observes in 1967 is repeating again today! The mechanisms of right-wing propaganda remain the same and unfortunately they still work... #fightracism
