Description

Theodor W. Adorno's analysis of the new right-wing extremism of the 1960s remains a prescient warning for today's world. In 1967, Adorno delivered a lecture on the rise of the National Democratic Party of Germany, highlighting the tactics and resources of far-right movements in post-war West Germany. This analysis is as relevant now as it was five decades ago, offering insights into the sources of right-wing radicalism that continue to resonate today. Adorno's work provides a nuanced understanding of the ways in which right-wing extremism can take hold, even in the aftermath of a devastating war. His study of the National Democratic Party's electoral success and the enthusiastic support it received from sections of the West German population serves as a warning about the dangers of resurgent nationalism and right-wing extremism. This book offers a thought-provoking examination of the roots of right-wing radicalism, one that remains relevant in today's world.
