Re: <nettime> Against Andrea Nagle's rightwing-masquerading-as-left tract on "open borders"

[Angela Mitropoulos <s0metim3s@gmail.com>]

Right, thanks Martha, American Affair, not National Affairs. Point still stands: American Affair is trying to distinguish nationalism from the embarrassment it has suffered at the hands of Trump. As for "half-joking" about Zizek, the 'joke' is that Zizek has been arguing for a red-brown alliance, which came directly in the wake of arguing for restricting immigration from Muslim countries, and diatribes about transgender people <https://lareviewofbooks.org/article/zizeks-transgender-trouble/>. Zizek is not a marxist, but a Hegelian. Like Hegel, he's been making arguments for a Christian state.

 Nagle’s article was published in American Affairs.

 something of a successor to National Affairs, but not with quite the aims associated with that mag.

and here’s more than you need to know

'In an interview, Mr. Krein semi-jokingly described the journal as aiming to appeal to fans of both Foreign Affairs and the Slovenian Marxist provocateur Slavoj Zizek.  More seriously, he said, the magazine seeks to fill the void left by a conservative intellectual establishment more focused on opposing Mr. Trump than on grappling with the rejection of globalism and free-market dogma that propelled his victory.’
