When Democracy Fails to Deliver

By Patrick J. Buchanan, January 22, 2019: “Those who make peaceful revolution impossible … make violent revolution inevitable,” said John F. Kennedy. In 2016, the U.S. and Britain were both witness to peaceful revolutions.

How Democracy is Losing the World

In this segment, Buchanan reveals a great deal about Cultural Marxism; how it emerged; and how the modern Left has largely embraced its tenets.… Continue reading Understanding Cultural Marxism

The Distinction Between Contemporary and Classical Conservatism

When this blog was founded in October 2015, I described myself as a ‘conservative’. In this fledging period, I mostly blogged against Islam, ISIS, climate change, socialism, Malcolm Turnbull and Barrack Obama. Then after becoming increasingly right-wing, I detached myself from the conservative label. Yet, additional research revealed I’d jumped the gun.

The Unpardonable Heresy of Tucker Carlson

By Patrick J. Buchanan, September 13, 2018: Our diversity is our greatest strength.

Pat Buchanan’s defence of protectionism

While written a few weeks ago, Pat Buchanan’s response to President Trump’s tariffs are equally relevant to US trade policy, and the topic of protectionism more broadly. While I recommend reading the entire piece, Buchanan’s primary arguments can be summarised as: “Production comes before consumption.

Who Wants War with Iran — and Why?

Pat Buchanan, December 20, 2017: In the run-up to Christmas, President Donald Trump has been the beneficiary of some surprisingly good news and glad tidings.

Shall We Fight Them All?

Before President Trump considers whether further American involvement in overseas wars is necessary, despite the war- hungry ways of the beltway, he ought to remember the abundance of conflicts the US already finds itself inextricably involved in. Moreover, the tremendous economic and human costs of any military clash with Russia, North Korea or Iran, by… Continue reading Shall We Fight Them All?

Economic issues

Right- wing populism vs the minimum wage

While traditionally Right- wing arguments against the minimum wage are renowned, modern times have showed that for conservative parties to gain success amidst an increasingly Islamized, diversified West, they must court the support of native, blue collar populations. So how could this pivot be made in regards to the minimum wage, without entirely disregarding long held… Continue reading Right- wing populism vs the minimum wage
