Last Podcast On The Left · Episode 669: Anton LaVey Part IV - Old Wizards Die Hard · 19 Jun 2026 podcast

Now, Michael Aquino was not alone in the satanic ranks when it came to accusations of sympathy towards Nazis, neo-Nazis in particular.

Anton LaVey did indeed pal around with neo-Nazis throughout the 1970s and beyond, which seems at odds with his legitimate friendship with a Jewish black guy like Sammy Davis Jr.

But the radical acceptance that LaVey and the Church of Satan had towards Sammy Davis Jr., that worked both ways.

While I certainly don't agree with it, it seems like Anton LaVey would associate with anyone who tickled a certain intellectual curiosity, regardless of how foul their beliefs might be.

But as we all know, as soon as you let Nazis inside, in any capacity whatsoever, every other Nazi sees your organization or your location as a safe space.

But it seems like Anton LaVey was not familiar with the Nazi bar principle.

Could, however, also be that Anton LaVey simply found these people fascinating, because the neo-Nazis, who were supposedly friends with Anton LaVey, they were, in fact, the weirdest and most pathetic of the entire bunch.

Yeah.

That's why all these guys end up bitter and alone at the end of their lives, because they just they refuse to change.

And they just become the they just become the bitter old fuck who doesn't do anything with their life.

Always.

It is the most powerful weapon they have.

Well, the man that's usually identified as a neo-Nazi associate of Anton LaVey is James Hartung Madol, who was raised in the upstate New York town of Beacon.

Born in 1927 to an incredibly anti-Semitic mother who brought Madol up herself.

You never do hear it.

It's like, boy, my mother hated Jews.

James was, to put it lightly, a massive fucking nerd.

He was a lonely young boy who found refuge in science, going so far as to build a laboratory in his own home.

But when he reached his teenage years, he came to see science in Faustian terms.

The scientist, he came to believe, was a semi-divine mage who sought mastery of the earth and the whole universe.
