The Weimar Spectacle
Today, is Democracy collapsing and Fascism returning, like the end of the Weimar Republic
Okay, full disclosure, I started this podcast not for any deep political reason, but because I was fascinated by the culture of the Weimar Republic, the music, the arts, the architecture, the personalities. I didn’t start it because I thought that the political parallels between then and now were absolutely clear. But, there’s that thing that happens, where something's in your head and you start seeing it everywhere. Well, I feel like every time I read the news, turn on the radio, listen to a podcast, or talk to a friend over drinks, someone is telling me we are living in days exactly like the end of the Weimar Republic.
I’m not sure about that, but I thought it might be worth an episode.
