The Science of Evil: A Personal Review of ‘Political Ponerology’

Commentary A new edition of “Political Ponerology,” by Andrew M. Łobaczewski, edited by Harrison Koehli, is now available on Amazon.[1] This strange and provocative book argues that totalitarianism is the result of the extension of psychopathology from a group of psychopaths to the entire body politic, including its political and economic systems. “Political Ponerology” is essential…

Commentary Short of totalitarian censors, literature has few enemies as redoubtable as modern literary scholarship—many of whom probably aspire to be totalitarian censors. A young American academic studying in England has recently suggested that scenes of the seduction of women in Shakespeare could be “triggering” because the moment at which the women actually consent to…


Dancing With the Woke: It’s Time for Liberals to Change Partners

Commentary “Woke” is one of the presently accepted terms employed to celebrate the presumed superiority of the neo-Marxist “social justice warrior.” “Wokeness” is a particularly useful ideological brand for Western Marxists because it allows them to disassociate themselves from inconvenient historical labels such as Bolsheviks, Nazis, Fascists, and Maoists and confuse their opponents by adopting…
