Is populism a dirty word, the tool of strongmen and thugs to manipulate the public and amass unchecked power? Or is it simply a method of representing ideas in a way that appeals to the public? Matt Kibbe sits down with Gloria Alvarez, host of the “The Red Pill” radio program, to discuss whether the idea of libertarian populism is a contradiction in terms or the only way to advance freedom on a broad scale. The elections of Donald Trump in America and Javier Milei in Argentina show that there is a movement toward charismatic leaders promising lower taxes, less regulation, and smaller government. Does this mean that libertarian ideas are finally catching on, or is it just the rise of a right-wing backlash against the excesses of the political Left?
