    Proteus as god of marble bedrock for death camps
  

*by P***P on Reviewed in the United States on May 5, 2013*

It is such a cheap shot to pick on intellectual pretenses which fit so well the practices of Germany in the twentieth century that I am tempted to start with what was so frightening that the globe was expected to panic if people found out that peckerwood Wilson had a stroke on September 25, 1919, as he was trying to say:We will not allow Germany . . .A few years later, Political Theology by Carl Schmitt was published in the original German. An English translation was published in 1985, when there was less reason for Americans to panic. Then in 2005 Tracy B. Strong had some comments to add about key themes that make death camps one of the ideas which made Germans seem so weird to ordinary people. Understanding whiplash is easiest for those who can picture the collective thinking of millions of people weho profoundly hate anything that is not ordinary. At this point, the worst thing that could happen to this book would be a result of falling into the hands of readers who imagine that a confederacy will be able to make its way from Gettysburg to a green zone by clinging to a flassh bang gravy train monetary incestuality.As a holy Samson anachronism, for a thousand years I have been resisting therapy whenever those who have been victorious in a political matter wish to turn my life around. I believe Carl Schmitt is concerned about the collective thiking of society when he considers a radical party taking over a government which attempts to have security and order by declaring that anyone who does not conform to the norms of a legal system is criminal and needs to be wiped out for domestic peace to prevail. Concentration camps were designed for millions of people within the lifetime of Carl Schmitt (1888-1985) and certain aspects of death camps have remained as an option for a pismire empire lurking in monetary incestuality over electronic financial transactions.Character is fate, according to Heraclitus, or funny, if you can believe the aspects of Sex and Character (1903) by Otto Weininger that Freud attributed to the unconscious.
  
Sex and Character: An Investigation of Fundamental Principles







  
  
    
  
Psychopathology of Everyday Life







  
  
    To update how weird law can become as a norm, ask yourself: who ever knows the reasons when we are having a war on drugs because being stoned is like sturdy turds flying standby?Carl Schmitt was concerned about law as a norm that did not specify whose decision whould be competent on matters that have interesting exceptions. This book quotes Repetition by Kierkegaard on the intensity of these matters for those who do not drift helplessly on rivers of drivel:Endless talk about the generalbecomes boring. . . .The exception, on the other hand,thinks the general with intense passion. (Schmitt, p. 15).Hollywood is a better indication of how people picture dynamic changes of circumstance for which no law has prepared society to render a competent decision. The Cranberries might even be considered political when they sing a song about 
  
Hollywood







  
  
    . The index of Political Theology does not mention Hollywood, which was not as important as Hobbes to Carl Schmitt in Germany in 1922, or later in November, 1933, when he added a few comments about the interests fully recognized within the law:in addition to the normativistand the decisionist types thereis an institutional one. (p. 2, Preface).And whereas the normativist inhis distortion makes of law amere mode of operation of a statebureauracracy, and the decisionist,focusing on the moment, always runsthe risk of missing the stable contentinherent in every great politicalmovement, an isolated institutionalthinking leads to the pluralismcharacteristic of a feudal-corporategrowth that is devoid of sovereignty. (p. 3).The formless mixture, unsuitable for anystructure, was no match for any seriousproblem concerning state and constitution. (p. 3)I like finding comments in Political Theory about how Max Weber expected bureaucracy to take over all the things that could be directed as a matter of administrative routine, but secularization was whiplash when people were tired of hearing leaders talk about great things that never happened, as always came to mean never for actuality in place of virtuality.Secularization of theology, trying to transfer a raging desire for psychotic multiplicity in all things into a rule that can govern hundreds of millions of people by exposing them only to information for home entertainment purposes, with heavy fines and jail time for individuals who copy and distribute files without owning the right to make the big bucks that are wished for with popularity, seems like a weird form of purity or unity for my holy Samson anachronism and the Martin Luther Stonehood of rock and roll. As a routine, law has become as ossiferous as the contrast between a person and an idea:. . . all conceptions of personality were aftereffects of absolute monarchy. (p. 30).In a few pages at the end, the rational kinds of thinking Max Weber promoted for American financiers and industrial technicians are considered a success. The free markets that make the marginal thinking of millionaires and billionaires what government can function as a lavatory cleaning up only surfs on waves of social splatology when the world is up against:the biased rule of politics overunbiased economic management bedone away with. There must no longerbe political problems, onlyorganizational-technical andeconomic-sociological tasks. (p. 65).I am still resisting therapy. The notion of legitimacy has been dissolved, and no exacting moral decision can ever be expected to be created out of nothingness.

    Three Sentences on Schmitt’s Political Theology
  

*by J***A on Reviewed in the United States on February 26, 2023*

This book is one of the only books that is basically an explication of its first sentence.I came to this text from reading Giorgio Agamben, and now it has made me want to go read Hobbes.Thinking about the Schmittian world makes me long for the embrace of a Kantian world with a defined and defended constitution.

    but it makes some good claims about the nature of sovereignty
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on February 7, 2016*

Your gut reaction will be not to buy this because it was written by a Nazi. Ignore your initial reaction...I don't agree with this book in its entirety, but it makes some good claims about the nature of sovereignty.
