What is political power? One way to think about it, is as the capacity to alter the behavior of others. In this sense, the formal acquisition of such power, as in the assignment to a position within the government, or political party, is merely the acknowledgement of a previously existing state of affairs. One obtains the assignment, by having influenced the behavior of the person or group responsible for such a designation, and so he has necessarily already displayed the power at issue. The title only bestows a sense of officialdom. Though, of course, this officialdom does...

I recently sat for an interview with a fellow many of you have heard me with before. He used to do a show called “Questioning Authority” that I have been on a few times. Now publishing at Shire Free Media, Vincent has titled the interview “Ides of March” given the date we spoke. I’ll embed the Odysee video below. The MP3 audio of the interview is the enclosure of this blog post and should be available on your RSS feeds for your listening enjoyment if you are subscribed to me on Fountain, Podcast, Addict, RSS, or wh...

Things are always improving, here at the Radical Agenda. Today’s 11pm test stream went much better than the last one. Still a few hiccups, but you’ll notice a substantial improvement in audio and video quality. Pretty soon I’ll be reaching out to you about regularly scheduled programming! Thanks so much for your support, enjoy! Radical Agenda S06E007 – YATS: Yet Another Test Stream If you would like to watch live, you can join us on Entropy. Not much else to say at this time, it’s literally a test, but...

Today I did my first live stream since being released, and I did it with open phones. We had some audiovisual problems, which I describe in the beginning of the audio. This was marketed as a test stream, so I’ll ask you to pardon the imperfections, but I think many of you will find it worth listening to anyway. You can catch the replay of the video stream at DLive https://dlive.tv/p/surrealpolitiks+qKrUrh-4R Odysee https://odysee.com/@ChrisCantwell:9/ras06e006:1 I’ll be uploading to m...

I had the pleasure of joining Jazzhands McFeels for Fash The Nation yesterday, as mentioned in my republish of Radical Agenda EP070. We originally planned on doing maybe 90 minutes, and we ended up going for three hours because it would have been professional malpractice for us as radio hosts to stop any sooner. It was that good. We started off with a trip down memory lane that was really a lot of fun, and then it turned into, as Jazzhands put it “bloodsports” over GOP vs. NJP. Eminently respectful, of course, but genuinely vigo...

I really didn’t want to do this episode. I had actually considered doing something to this effect under a pen name somewhere else, because the last thing I want to do is minimize the experience of prison in such a fashion as to make my audience more inclined to find themselves there. I had considered producing something like what I am about to do when I heard that a January 6th defendant had committed suicide. Not long before I heard the news of this, I had fresh in my mind a pretty good time I had en...

Here at the Radical Agenda, we take a great deal of pride in the success we have enjoyed in exploring, and spreading, ideas. As in any meaningful pursuit, we take measurement of our success from time to time. We analyze how it was achieved. We critique our failures, usually quietly, but never mercifully. Through such a process, we seek to improve. Doubtless, we have much to brag about. This show began oriented toward libertarianism. Then, something unexpected happened. Other people changed our ideas. As we were confronted with inescapable challenges to...

Moments ago, I recorded an interview with Maria Butina. If that name rings a bell, it’s because she was a fixation of the Leftist media in the United States, while they were trying to make Donald Trump out to be an agent of the Russian government. Before I play the interview, I should address an expectation that will arise from hearing that name. I do not discuss in any detail during this interview, Maria’s legal problems in the United States, or the allegations of Russian influence operations. Maria denies that she was acting as an agen...

Here at the Radical Agenda, we pride ourselves on thinking outside the box. Our defining characteristic as Right wingers is not so much our conservatism as our nationalism, and of course our unyielding reactionary contempt for the Left. This is not to say that we lack any conservative impulse. We know as well as anyone that if something isn’t broke, there is no sense in attempting to fix it. In the name of so-called “progress”, Democrats keep trying to “fix” elections, race, and gender. In this pursuit, they seem to be getting exactly what they want, but the ho...
