The Right Podcast

The Right Podcast is a long-form, multimedia project that examines political movements, ideologies, and conflicts from a critical left perspective. Drawing on history and case studies, it traces deeper patterns that are often overlooked. It uses critique to reopen questions of solidarity, internationalism, and responsibility, and to explore what a renewed left politics might look like moving forward.

S3 Ep57: Venezuela: Who Holds the Cards

The Right Podcast ·

2026/01/05

This episode looks at Venezuela, but it is really about how global politics has been narrowed and who is allowed to matter politically.This is a reactive episode. There are pauses for clarification and moments where ideas are still being worked through. The goal here is to think in public rather than present a settled argument. One part of the episode focuses on Trump’s politics. His language about power and leverage did not create a new foreign policy. It made explicit a logic that had already

S3 Ep56: End-of-Year Notes on the Right

The Right Podcast ·

2025/12/31

Correction: Around the 26 minute mark I speak of "Left" accidently. This was in relation to the Traditionalist right. Join me for a cough medicine fueled rant about the right in 2025-2026. The attempted central insight is that failure no longer weakens right movements. When policy or electoral politics fail it can be treated as proof that institutions are hostile and legitimacy is already gone. Once failure is processed this way, governing success matters less than maintaining narrative coherence

The Right Podcast ·

2025/12/18

This episode follows two articles I wrote about the annual Twilight Zone New Year’s marathon, one published last year and one this year. Watching the marathon was a tradition I had growing up, and now writing about it and contemporary politics is becoming one as well. The essays discussed here move across multiple Twilight Zone episodes and connect them to contemporary politics, including Trump’s return to power, the rise of far-right parties in Europe, and the normalization of scapegoating,

The Right Podcast ·

2025/11/27

In this episode, we look at why so many political arguments on the left collapse into confusion, hostility, or pure repetition. People talk about Syria, Ukraine, Gaza, imperialism, campism, and solidarity as if they’re debating the same thing, but they’re often answering different underlying questions. Philosophy doesn’t solve that, but it helps us see what those deeper questions actually are.We start with why internal dissent matters. If we cannot create space to disagree with each other, we will

S3 Ep53: The Left, the Other, and the Loss of Relation

The Right Podcast ·

2025/10/29

This episode looks at what happens when political conviction replaces human connection.It’s based on my new article When Politics Forgets the Face and asks how ideology on both the right and the left can turn people into symbols instead of subjects. I talk about Ukraine, Syria, and Gaza, and why so many Western voices speak over those actually living through these conflicts. From there, I turn to Emmanuel Levinas and his idea that ethics begins with the face of another person, before politics or

S3 Ep52: In Defense of Leftist Self-Critique

The Right Podcast ·

2025/10/08

Description:Every movement begins with conviction—but without reflection, conviction can harden into dogma. This episode explores how moral certainty, group loyalty, and algorithmic culture combine to silence the very critique that keeps political movements alive. Drawing from Foucault, Habermas, Rosa Luxemburg, Edward Said, and Herbert Marcuse, I argue that self-critique is not betrayal—it’s the foundation of solidarity. We examine how: Movements reproduce systems of control when loyalty

ICE was never just about immigration. It was created after 9/11 as a tool of executive power, and today it is being used against migrants, dissenters, and even elected officials.This video looks at my article ICE Was Built for This in the Summer 2025 issue of New Politics and explains how fear, emergency powers, and bipartisan choices made ICE central to Trump’s authoritarian project. https://newpol.org/issue_post/ice-was... #ICE #Immigration #Trump #Authoritarianism #politics #AbolishICE

Website: https://www.therightpodcast.org/Check out the video on Youtube Trump was never a peace candidate. From his early Reform Party days to his “America First” doctrine, he wasn’t seeking an end to U.S. empire. Instead he wanted to strip it of regulation, diplomacy, and disguise. In this episode, I unpack how Donald Trump’s foreign policy was misread from the start — first framed as less hawkish by figures like Glenn Greenwald than Hillary Clinton, later described by academics like John

In the article, I share my personal experiences and juxtapose them with the broader political shifts of that era. Ultimately, it explores the dangers of conspiratorial thought and how populist rhetoric can serve as a pathway to such thinking, often leading to reactionary outcomes. I highlight various movements, including the anti-globalization protests, freight
