Ideologica Obscura takes the viewer on a journey into the world of wacky and esoteric political ideologies. This podcast uncovers the multitude of visions for society and the historical context they arose from. We wish to educate through a mix of rigorous research and low-brow humor because many a true word is spoken in jest. Ideologica Obscura is a comedy and education podcast and thus does not encourage or endorse any of the discussed ideologies, persons, or organizations.

We're back after a long hiatus and this time we're going medieval with a libertarian spin, so get out your Qurans and start packing for the Hajj, because we are doing Islamic Anarchism! We'll be talking about basic Islamic theology and philosophy and how that lead to the pre-modern "anarchist" ideology of the Mutazilite sect while Eren tries avoid burping his guts out onto the computer and Thomas does his best Bri'ish impressions. ...

This was originally recorded in Episode 9, but it didn't really fit properly. So we decided to upload it as a bonus episode! In case you couldn't get enough of Strasserism, we talk about a bunch of blokes who practiced international solidarity among racists, sought a near primitivist economic policy, and simped for Gaddafi. Enjoy!

In this episode we conclude the journey of Strasserism by starting from Otto's return to Germany to Strasserist LARPs in Cyberspace and meatspace. We mainly focus on the rise and fall of various Strasserist cells and niche organizations throughout the late 20th century and get a migraine reading their names!

Ideologica Obscura is back with another Red-Brown ideology made by German racists! Having a parallel development to German National Bolshevism, Strasserism derives from the chaos and horror of the First World War and the political turmoil of Weimar Germany, in which the ideology seeks to offer a Third Way by combining soviet-style communism and racist ultranationalism. This alternative is presented by by brothers, Gregor and Otto S...

Ideologica Obscura is back and we welcome our latest member to the team, Elliot! He joins us to suffer in learning about an ideology that is basically, "what if environmentalists were insane racists?" Welcome to the terrible world of Ecofascism.

On this episode, Eren and Thomas conclude the odyssey of the nerdy Jacobin campaign against Christianity. With the final Jacobin cult being the Cult of the Supreme Being, which was a product of none other than Maximilien "I am God" Robespierre. In this episode we talk about how Robespierre tried to make himself a prophet and died trying, while also going on enlightened tangents on religion, the meaning of life, and Game of Thrones.

Today, Eren and Thomas go back in time to where ideologies began, the French Revolution. A time of political radicalism, extreme violence, and intellectuals with too much power in their hands. Especially when a couple of nerds decide to get rid of Christianity and replace it with logic and reason! This is the Cult of Reason and it only goes down hill from here.

In this episode, Thomas and Eren begin their journey into the realm of esoteric and wacky ideologies with National Bolshevism, a seemingly oxymoronic ideology that sought to synthesize the revolutionary aesthetics and economic autarky of the far-left with the ultranationalism and conservatism of the far-right. They begin this multi-part series by discussing what counts as National Bolshevism and its origins in Weimar Germany.
