Nationalist Internationalism (Ft. Cadell Last)

Get access to The Backroom (100+ exclusive episodes) on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/OneDimeThis week on 1Dime Radio, I’m joined once again by Dr. Cadell Last, founder of Philosophy Portal, for a deep discussion on *nationalist internationalism*, the idea that genuine internationalism actually requires nationalism as a precondition. We explore why national sovereignty, taxing the rich, immigration control, labor power, and democratic self-determination often cannot be secured by isolated states alone, but instead require serious international coordination between nations.This episode was originally a patron-only bonus episode. In the Backroom preview at the start, we also get into Nick Fuentes, the return of repressed contradictions, and the increasingly unavoidable questions around race, gender, immigration, and identity that mainstream liberals and much of the left have struggled to confront directly.Timestamps:00:00:00  Backroom preview, race, white culture, and repressed contradictions00:03:53  Immigration, demographic change, and the Nick Fuentes phenomenon00:10:49  A different critique of immigration00:14:23  Nationalist internationalism00:18:05  Why Marxist internationalism lacks a real libidinal anchor00:30:56  Marxism’s cultural blind spot00:37:13  Global capitalism, assimilation, and the nation-state00:43:03  Borders, capital flight, and international coordination00:48:48  Religion, depoliticization, and politics as substitute faith00:52:01  What kind of socialism can answer the meaning crisis?00:59:27  The EU, the UN, and stronger unions against fragmentation01:03:25  Final thoughts on nationalism and internationalism as a dialectical processGUEST:Dr. Cadell Last, Philosophy Portal• Website: https://cadelllast.com/• Philosophy Portal: https://philosophyportal.online/about• YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@PhilosophyPortal• Substack: https://philosophyportal.substack.com/• X/Twitter: https://x.com/cadellnlastFOLLOW 1Dime:• Substack: https://1dimereview.substack.com/• X/Twitter: https://x.com/1DimeOfficial• Instagram: instagram.com/1dimeman• Check out my main channel videos: https://www.youtube.com/@1DimeeLeave a like, drop a comment, and give the show a 5-star rating on Spotify, Apple, or wherever you listen to this.Tags: #Nationalism #Internationalism  #Immigration
