Today being Memorial Day, it might be fitting to speak a bit about military service. Of course, the martial character of human conflict emerges elsewhere besides the military, and perhaps it would be still more fitting to speak in such a broader generality. There exists no shortage of bold men who will not be hailed […]

Here at SurrealPolitiks, when speaking of power, there is a well reasoned tendency to speak of matters pertaining to electoral victory. This on account of the fact that the State is the ultimate arbiter of disputes, and its capacity to use force without repercussion renders State power the supreme means of imposing one’s will upon […]

New Hampshire, wherein I presently reside, is home to a political migration movement known as the Free State Project. Many years ago, in what could fairly be described as another life, that project was why I moved to this place. It seemed at the time a viable strategy for accomplishing a worthwhile goal, and though […]

Well, it’s happened again. Another “Hispanic White Supremacist” has killed a bunch of people and of course this means we have to give up our guns to the people who want to open the borders and put the former President in prison. Were this theme not so familiar, we might find ourselves asking if there […]

Let us begin in the Realpolitik vein by trying to determine if the following story is purity spiraling stupidity, or straightforward corruption. I was shocked this morning to read a story in Revolver News about pro-life groups turning on Donald Trump. If you listened to SurrealPolitiks Episode 1, you’ll recall I spent some time talking […]

I recently took some amusement at Marjorie Taylor Greene’s 60 minutes interview, in which she called the Democrat Party pedophiles.

Greene responded, in essence, by saying that pushing […]

Today has been a lot of fun, and I’m looking forward to speaking with you tonight. I’ll tease that I have a very exciting announcement, but I can’t make this public just yet. I’ll tell you more when we meet at 9:30pm Eastern for the live members only video chat, and I’ve got a very […]

Well, I started with a plan to talk about economics, and we got to that, but given the news I had to open with my thoughts on this Tucker Carlson situation. On another venue, I went on at some length about Tucker Carlson’s contribution to American politics. I do not believe it can be overstated […]

In the practice of Realpolitik, it is typically considered ill advised to go out of one’s way to antagonize the greatest possible number of political participants with one’s speech. Today we break that rule with our episode title “Misesian Socialism”. The phrasing derives from the name of one Ludwig von Mises, an Austrian economist of […]

We live in, interesting times, as goes the curse. Toward the end of Monday’s public show, a caller brought up recent indictments in Charlottesville, Virginia, in which a Soros backed prosecutor has fulfilled his campaign promise by bringing meritless charges against attendees of a 6 year old political demonstration, which was coordinated with law enforcement.
