Keywords: political philosophy; Nazism; climate change; neoliberalism.

Summary/Abstract: The author argues that the urgency of thought today is about facing the twin threats of resurrected Nazism and climate change. While climate change is spelling an un-apocalyptic end of the world, the resurrection of Nazism is feeding into climate change. A case in point is the regime change in Ukraine, where Nazi violence is being used to ensure the implementation of a radical neoliberal program. The Nazification of neoliberalism aims at escalating carbon economy, which in the current situation in Ukraine is represented by the transition form “Fuck the EU” (Victoria Nuland) to “Frack Europe” (Hunter Biden).
