THE ALT RIGHT, ECONOMICS, AND AN ALTERNATIVE THEORY OF WHITE DISUNITY

by Bay Area Guy

One of my perennial critiques of the Alternative Right is that alt righters do not focus enough on economic issues. Given that monied interests play a huge role in the cultural erosion of the West, this is rather troubling – and puzzling. What's even more puzzling, and pleasantly surprising, is that certain left-leaning thinkers have provided us with the analytical tools necessary to demolish neoliberal myths.

THE TRUMP TEMPEST AND THE TURBULENCE OF AMERICAN POLITICS

Donald Trump: blowing hard!

by Colin Liddell

Donald Trump has long been interested in running for President. In 2000 he sought the nomination of the Reform Party, and he also floated the idea of running as a Republican in 2004 and 2012. In all these cases, nothing ultimately happened, but last month, when he announced his intention to run and made some off-the-cuff remarks about illegal immigrants, support for his campaign caught on like wildfire.

Political analysis can point to a lot of factors. As Greg Johnson indicated on a recent Daily Shoah podcast, the real “sweet spot” in American politics is a combination of social conservatism and economic populism. This is the combination that would please the greatest number of voters and could ensure a permanent super majority.
