Punching Left!

On this episode of Punching Left! Clifton and David welcome Dr. Stephen Hicks.  Dr. Hicks is a scholar on the subject of Nietzsche and his influence on the National Socialists.  He has authored a book "Explaining Postmodernism," and is the author of the famous lecture, "Nietzsche and the Nazis."  Dr. Hicks is also responsible for many other works.  The Punching Left! crew are honored to have such a distinguished guest on the show! We hope you will join us for what we believe will be another great episode!

This week Clifton and David are joined by Dr. David Gordon.  Dr. Gordon is a distinguished philosopher and intellectual historian. He has authored many papers and books.  He is also recognized as an authority on Murray Rothbard and his work.  Dr. Gordon's interpretation of Rothbard and Mises works are considered authoritative.  Dr. Gordon also brings expert knowledge of Austrian School economics to the table. The Punching Left! crew are humbled and honored to welcome Dr. Gordon on for what we believe will be a very special episode of Punching Left!.

This episode on Punching Left!, David and Clifton are joined by Danny a competition shooter and fire arms afficiando.  Danny has years of experience, and some very solid opinions around the topic of firearms an their proper usage.  We will also discuss the media's insistence on making every shooting incident a topic for gun control and limiting the second amendment. This episode the audience will be subjected to some very strong opinions (because none of the Punching Left! crew have strong opinions!). Join us for one of our favorite topics!

Cliton and David take an hour to discuss the concept of the Rothbardian Covenant Community.  This provides a way for people to live in societies which most closely match their preferences.  Murray N. Rothbard initiated the idea of creating these communities and Hans Herman Hoppe has elaborated and fleshed out the overriding ideas in which such community might exist and thrive in a Libertarian world.  However, many have labeled the Covenant Community as racist and possibly sexist. This could not be further from the truth.  Join us for a short afternoon discussion about this very misunderstood topic.

This week David, Clifton, and guest host Elliott discuss the Alt Right.   In particular, is Punching Left! an Alt Right show?  What does it mean to be Alt Right and is being Alt Right white supremacist?  What are the goals of the Punching Left! crew and have we achieved any sort of success?  This episode coincides with Punching Left's inclusion by FM.Player in their Top 50 Alt Right podcasts of 2018 and the best Alt Right podcasts of 2015.  Join Punching Left! on Episode 21 for a discussion of the future of Punching Left!.

Join David and Clifton as they host Dr. Bill Warner in an episode about The Crusades.  We hope to learn a great deal from Dr. Warner.  The general discussion will address misconceptions and out right fallacies portrayed in popular media and public school systems who represent interests that wish to downplay the violent and bloody history of Islam in order to promote “multiculturalism and diversity.”  We hare very excited to mark the 20th episode of Punching Left! With Dr. Bill Warner!

Clifton and David are honored to have Stephan Kinsella on the show to discuss argumentation ethics and talk about his concept, "estoppel."  We will get Stephan's full take on argumentation ethics and how it relates to libertarian arguments and principles such as the NAP. Stephan is also the author of the libertarian book, "Against Intellectual Property." Stephan is a fellow at the Mises Institute and a practicing attorney.  Join the Punching Left! team for what we believe should be a very educational show!

This episode David and Clifton will have a discussion on Thomas Aquinas.  Aquinas is both indispensable to the Catholic Church and Libertarianism. He is THE theologian-philosopher of Catholicism.  He is also a primary source of influence for Murray Rothbard. Aquinas's largest contributions would be his approximation of Natural Law.  There would after all be no western culture or values without the Catholic Church. Join us as we celebrate a great Libertarian Philosopher and Catholic Theologian on Punching Left! episode 18.

On tonight’s show, David, Clifton will discuss some very controversial topics.  Race realism and white privilege are two of the most controversial topics out there. Both are incendiary but race realism is arguably more so by far.  Join us for a very candid discussion about race, and power politics.  We will most certainly be discuss8ng White guilt, ethano-states, statistics, conspiracy theories and cultural Marxism.

This episode Elliott Wilson returns with Clifton and David to discuss the problems in Syria, and South Africa.  Both Russia and China have made it clear they will support each other against the United States.  The United States and its allies in Europe and Israel maintain that Syria has used chemical weapons against rebel-held territory and launched punitive missile strikes.   In South Africa, plans are proceeding within the Government which is now controlled by the Marxist element to seize the land of white South African farmers.  Cleary it is a tragedy waiting to happen.
