@Endeavour What happened to your video about the 1848 Hungarian revolution?

@Imperial J. Yay I deleted it. I changed my mind on the arguments I made. I felt I was too sympathetic to liberal movements which I don't actually support.

Feel conflicted about the German equivalent as well

Good that eventually nationalism got reintegrated into the old structures, if only for a short time

I agree tbh

even if not for the revolution Austria would have to make a compromise in one way or another

and a conservative compromise is way better than a liberal revolution

any thoughts on dutch converting church to a library

better than demolishing it

my thoughts exactly

The other thing I question is how similar will Nationalism today (if we should even call it that) will actually be to the 19th century. I tend to think it won't be similar at all, but something completely different. Kind of like what I discussed on my stream with Keith Woods.

but still

how bad is the church attendance when it has to be coverted to something else

in mudslime neighbourhoods in UK
churches are regularly vandalized
>but if you throw a bacon on a mosque

What is the reactionary take on economics? Austrian, Keynesian, MMT, etc?

I know economics aren't exactly the hot topic nowadays, but I just watched the Keith Woods video on MMT, and while some of it sounds right, I distrust it.

Anything that gives the primacy of power to the productive entities of society (businesses) will inevitably become the Neoliberalism of today

Bring back mercantilism

State intervention when appropriate shouldn't be out of the question

But generally the economy needs to be less politicized and subordinate to the state and its interests

Also do away with fractional reserve banking since it undermines the state monopoly on currency

If I recall, Mercantilism was replaced by Economic Liberalization when the very same Nation-States and Empires figured out that Liberalism can make more money for them with less Mercantilist wars for resources

Mercantilism and ISI is what industrialized the west

Liberalism is what gave you cheap imports and higher profits for those that outsource

In a way mercantilism has enabled the merchant class, but it shouldn't be seen as the preferred policy of them

Or the WTO wouldn't exist, outsourcing wouldn't exist and we wouldn't have free trade

Mercantalism enabled the merchants who used their newfound powers to then bring forth liberalism

Yes

But you could only remove those powers by impoverishing them or foricng them to fall in line

Like China does

China unironically is doing ISI right

ISI being import substitution industrialization

With a focus on exports

Politics is always about the friction of power interests and mercantilism seems dangerously too close to liberalism. A state authority which is not controlled by productive entities is important

Arguably China is even pursuing mercantilism because of how it acquires raw resources

Mercantilism was about empowering the national economy not the merchant class

The only reason it got out of hand in Europe is that old elites didn't anticipate the new state of affairs and were slow to adapt

Absolutist France did little to incorporate the merchant class as a subordinate but integral part of its order, whislt continuing to court the old elites

That being landed nobles etc.

Corporatism Gang then?

Corporatism was interesting attempt at least
