The Economy in Mind
This article applies thematic analysis to the discourse of the environmental countermovement, focusing primarily on the mutually referencing contributions of Julian Simon, Friedrich von Hayek, and Ronald Reagan. Utilizing a close reading of these texts, it aims to describe how the subscribers to this discourse picture the human relationship with the natural world, and how this in turn enables them to believe that the market can overcome environme…
The US Army and Male Rape during the Second World War
While most victims of sexual offences perpetrated by US servicemen during the Second World War were women and girls, rape and sexual assault of men and boys were not uncommon. 75 such cases are examined here. Analysis of these reveals that considerable parallels existed between the experiences of male and female victims, as well as the ways in which the crimes were handled by the military authorities. Perpetrators’ methods and motives, however, v…
The 'glass ceiling' of the environmental state and the social denial of mortality
Despite the development of the environmental state, climate change is accelerating. The concept of the ‘glass ceiling’ – denoting an unexplained barrier, impeding the state from using its powers effectively to mitigate threats that it acknowledges should be addressed – has been put forward to account for this. Here, a structural account of this phenomenon is advanced, which suggests that environmental policies are generally outcompeted among gove…
Orderly and Humane: The Expulsion of the Germans after the Second World War
Immediately after the Second World War, the victorious Allies authorized and helped to carry out the forced relocation of German speakers from their homes across central and southern Europe to Germany. The numbers were almost unimaginable—between 12,000,000 and 14,000,000 civilians, most of them women and children—and the losses horrifying—at least 500,000 people, and perhaps many more, died while detained in former concentration camps, while loc…
Joyce Family Values: Treason, Nationality and the Case of ‘Lord Haw-Haw’s’ Irish Cousin
The conviction and execution of William Joyce (‘Lord Haw-Haw’) for treason to the British crown remains controversial to the present day. He was not, however, the only wartime traitor in the Joyce family. His first cousin, the Irish-born Sergeant Michael Joyce, RAF, also volunteered his services to the Nazis while a prisoner of war in Germany, and arguably compromised himself even more seriously than his more notorious relative. In contrast to th…

Handmaids of the Resurrection: Ailtirí na hAiséirghe, Women and Irish Fascism
Ailtirí na hAiséirghe, the most important fascist party to arise in Ireland, reached its electoral peak in 1945 when it won nine seats in the local government elections of that year. Much of its success was due to the unusually high level of support it gained from women, who made up a greater proportion of its membership than did their counterparts in the mainstream parties or in fascist movements overseas. Though the party's policies were often …
Did Britain Use Chemical Weapons in Mandatory Iraq
Growthism and the Green Backlash
Recent years have seen the growth of a ‘green backlash’ movement which has argued against ‘the myths of environmentalism’. Many environmentalists have pointed out the political motivation and factual errors in much of these arguments. But what has not been given much attention is their underlying philosophy. To look at this is to find an ideology, related to neoliberalism, which we might call ‘growthism’; based on a utopian faith in the inevitabi…
The Pro-Axis Underground in Ireland, 1939–1942
During the first half of the Second World War, a network of secretive ultra-right movements emerged in Ireland for the purpose of assisting the Axis cause. These groups had little contact with fascist organizations overseas, but rather were indigenous expressions of discontent with the perceived failure of Irish liberal democracy to address the country’s political and economic problems. Numerically weak, poorly led, and ideologically unsophistica…

No Friend of Democracy: The Socialist Vanguard Group 1941-50
The Socialist Vanguard Group (SVG), publisher of the journal Socialist Commentary, has conventionally been regarded as one of the principal architects of social-democratic 'revisionism' within the Labour Party during the 1940s. In fact, in its ideology and early history the SVG was profoundly hostile to democracy in all its manifestations. As one of the earliest, and most secretive, 'entryist' bodies successfully to infiltrate the Labour Party, t…
Anglo-Saxons and Attacotti: The racialization of Irishness in Britain between the World Wars
During the interwar years, theories purporting to show that the people of Ireland were racially distinct from their Anglo-Saxon neighbours underwent a significant revival in Britain. These doctrines, which had featured prominently in nineteenth-century scientific and political discourse, were again employed following the secession of the Irish Free State from the United Kingdom in 1921, both to explain the apparent failure of the British civilizi…
