Sweeny vs Bard Season 2 Ep. 16: Steven Bannon and The Traditionalists: With Benjamin R Teitelbaum

How did an obscure esoteric school begun by the French writer and sufi René Guénon and his fascist disciple Julius Evola at the beginning of the 20th begin to influence geopolitics, and especially the works of Steve Bannon, Alexander Dugin, and Olavo de Carvalho? We discuss this with Benjamin R Teitelbaum, author of a great new page turner called “War for Eternity: Inside Bannon's Far-Right Circle of Global Power Brokers.” And we go into depth, especially about Steven Bannon and the alt right who Benjamin has interviewed a lot, and this complex figure especially with reference to his traditionalism, his fatalistic view of the Kali Yuga, and what the neo traditionalists are up to precisely. An important and misunderstood topic.
