Episode 42 — From Franco to the Future: Can the Dissident Right Unite? w/ Pete Quiñones
In this gripping discussion, The Backlash welcomes writer and historian Pete Quiñones for a sobering yet hopeful conversation on the future of the dissident right. Hosts Rebecca Hargraves and Dave Reilly probe the question: can disparate right-wing factions come together as Franco's coalition once did in Spain? They explore the challenges of narcissism, ideological rigidity, and digital in-group fragmentation—and examine how autism, atomization, and infiltration have stalled unity.
Pete draws on historical parallels from the Spanish Civil War, critiques libertarianism and radical individualism, and outlines the necessity of vanguardism. The trio dives deep into the moral and cultural collapse of America, arguing that a new high culture must arise through localism, historical preservation, and small-scale organizing—before mass immigration and economic collapse destroy what's left.
They also unpack the growing threats to Christians, the erosion of religious liberty, and the long arc of subversion, from labor wars to AI and automation. In a time of political inertia, Pete’s message is clear: the regime won’t save us. Build culture, organize locally, and know your people.
