With two of the smartest thinkers on the subject.&nbsp;<\/strong><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The historian Volker Wei\u00df is one of the most profound experts on the thinking of the radical right, its theories, ideologies and narratives. With books such as \u201eDie autorit\u00e4re Revolte\u201c, \u201eDeutsches Demokratisches Reich\u201c and, most recently, \u201eKatechon\u201c (about the religious-apocalyptic motifs of Peter Thiel to Alexander Dugin), he shines a spotlight on the extreme right's goal of overcoming Western liberalism and imposing an alternative interpretation of history. In conversation with Gabriela Greilinger and Robert Misik, Wei\u00df - the \u201eexpert on new right-wing theorising\u201c (taz) - will trace the new developments in right-wing thought and identify the most important currents and players. Gabriela Greilinger will analyse the ideological production and practice of the neo-reactionary and neo-conservative right from Hungary to the USA in the light of her research and investigations. Greilinger not only has Austro-Hungarian roots, i.e. two homelands, she also studied in Hungary and currently teaches and researches in the USA, Georgia. She is an expert on the thinking of the Orban circles, has made a name for herself with outstanding analyses of the strategies of the Hungarian democratic opposition and its recent election victory, and works on the topic of \u201efrom protest to power\u201c - i.e. the democratic erosion in Europe due to the advance of the ultra-right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Volker Wei\u00df, <\/strong>Dr phil. born in 1972, the historian worked for many years as a specialist author for DIE ZEIT and ZEIT Geschichte, Jungle World, Frankfurter Rundschau, FAZ, Taz, Spiegel-Online and today writes exclusively for<em>&nbsp;SZ<\/em>, He is one of the best experts on the new right-wing scene.
