Summary
Dominique Pagani mentions Henry Ford in passing, mostly to recall a fact that he repeats in the same terms from 2015 to 2024: Hitler kept Ford's portrait in his office and was his main admirer in Europe1. In 2024, he calls Ford Hitler's "idol"2. This reminder comes up in sessions on current politics, notably the one on neo-fascism and the ideology of desire, which deals with Clouscard3, and in a question-and-answer session on the dominant language4. He also quotes a saying of Ford's: a car in any colour, so long as it is black. He uses it to illustrate the illusion of choice in a session on education in the beautiful5. Finally, in a Musicosophie session on modern music, he mentions the Model T as a car within everyone's means6. The passages go no further than these mentions.
