A chapter-by-chapter reading of Black Sun: Aryan Cults, Esoteric Nazism, and the Politics of Identity by Nicholas Goodrick-Clarke, the definitive history of how Nazism survived after 1945 by becoming a religious system.
This book club traces the ideas, figures, and movements that built post-war neo-Nazism and shows how their symbolism and theology are being laundered into online culture today. Led by Will Spencer, with live discussion from paid subscribers.
