Am I a Leftist?? Exploring the Underbelly of Right Wing Nationalism

About this episode

The episode discusses accusations of leftism against libertarians and explores the connections between nationalism and the liberty movement.

Tonight, I’m joined by my friend Jeremiah Harding to respond to a recent smear from a self-proclaimed “libertarian nationalist” who openly flirts with Nazi symbolism and rhetoric. This individual accused me and Dave Smith of being “leftists” and “anti-West” — and we’re going to break down exactly why that claim is ridiculous. We’ll examine the arguments, the political philosophy behind them, and the disturbing overlap between authoritarian nationalism and certain segments of the so-called “liberty” movement. Expect receipts, sharp analysis, and no punches pulled.
