Mental Parasites

Are you a carrier of mental parasites?

“Western society is suffering from a pandemic that prevents those affected from thinking rationally. This is not the result of any bacteria or virus, but of ‘pathogenic ideas’ spread by universities, politicians, the media, art, and culture—with devastating consequences.”

In his new work, Axel Kaiser presents the seven progressive capital parasites: social justice, social rights, the welfare state, neoliberalism, corporate social responsibility, diversity-equity-inclusion, and the “noble savage.” Through historical and philosophical reflection, the bestselling author delivers a sharp critique of these parasitic ideas that sustain a mentality which perceives itself as “good and just,” but which in fact has been corrupted by infectious notions that threaten freedom and progress.

A comprehensive and provocative book that warns against the toxic beliefs corroding our contemporary society.
