The European Conservative proudly presents “The Forge,” a new monthly programme which aims to revive the art of Socratic dialogue and intellectual combat at a time when, across the legacy institutions of the Western world, vulgar sophistry and intolerant conformism appear to reign supreme. Presented by Harrison Pitt, a senior editor at The European Conservative, The Forge will be a place for thoroughgoing discussion and fearless debate with the world's finest thinkers on a range of subjects, from philosophy and current affairs to history and culture. As the name suggests, it should also enable us to build up our armoury and sharpen our weapons as we engage in a war for our civilisation.

In the first episode, Harrison sits down in London with best-selling author and political scientist Eric Kaufmann to discuss the race taboo, competing strands of liberalism, and the future of white majorities.
