Extracted from the Chronicles magazine December 2020 issue, we present an audio version of "Middle America's Road to Power," a feature article written by Chronices Associate Editor Pedro Gonzalez.

In this article, Gonzalez asserts that conventional conservatives today are like members of an oppressed proletariat defending the oligarchy and its bread and circuses. He believes the populist right must forge a revolutionary conservative movement indigestible to the current establishment.

Broadcast live on Wednesday, October 21, 2020. This week’s Backchannel features William Lind, Chronicles contributor, as he speaks about his recent piece "Fourth Generation War Comes to a Theater Near You," which is featured in the October 2020 issue of Chronicles magazine. Lind is joined in conversation by Edward Welsch, Executive Editor of Chronicles, and Annie Holmquist, Editor of Intellectual Takeout. As Americans embrace loyalty to their clan or ideology over the State, the State is losing legitimacy. The State's monopoly on war is dissipating as non-State actors fight in the streets. As Lind explains, this is Fourth Generation War. William S. Lind is a military historian, a columnist for The American Conservative, and author of Victoria: A Novel of 4th Generation Warfare and Retroculture: Taking America Back.

Broadcast live on October 12, 2020, this week’s Backchannel podcast features C. Jay Engel, Chronicles contributor, as he speaks about his recent piece "Up From Libertarianism," which is featured in the October 2020 issue of Chronicles magazine. Libertarianism was a way forward for those disillusioned with America's two-party system, but it is now clear that the ideals of liberty have been subverted by the left. Only political power can preserve the cultural and ethnic roots of America. C. Jay Engel works as a strategic business advisor and writes from his home near the Sierra Nevadas of Northern California. He lives with his wife and their four homeschooled children.
