In this episode, Alex finally dives into a topic that he has wanted to cover for a long time. He goes into the New Right, how the movement is really based on the Old Right, and why these views not only criticize democracy, but also challenge the underpinnings of our society. Alex goes into the Managerial class critiques from James Burnham, the rantings of Pat Buchanan, the monarchism of Curtis Yarvin, and the blatant neo-fascism and Greek love of the Bronze Age Pervert. Liberal Democracies have not seen a philisophical challege in a long time, and now it seems like the enemy is at the gates.

The Dark Enlightenment: How the New Right Melds Monarchism, Pre-WW2 Views, Reactionary Rhetoric and Delusional Politics with Dangerous Fantasies

Alex Kopytko is a ”radical centrist” that wants to understand the extremes. He has worked in politics and has studied public policy and political science. Alex argues that centrism is less about being a contrarian, it is about being able to change your mind and embrace an openness to new ideas. He is concerned about where the United States is headed and through conversations with people from all sides of the political spectrum, he wants to know how Americans can limit the tribalism that is flourishing. As someone that dances along the center-right of the political spectrum, Alex thinks the country needs to come together and talk to one another before it could be too late. This podcast covers domestic politics, as well as political philosophy, and international issues.
