🎙️Newish on the pod…

We’ve told you before, but just in case you forgot, we’re not just a think tank, magazine, or podcast, but also a book publisher! Our first book we released way back in 2022 was Politics of the Real by D.C. Schindler where he makes the long argument that while liberalism has largely gone off the rails as an ideology (un)rooted in abstractions and pure potential, a sensible Christian post-liberal political order will see a return to basing itself in the natural order of things and in God’s revelation, i.e. the Real.

D.C. Schindler joins Michael Boland to discuss the argument from his book which is being released for the first time in paperback! (Order today!)

From the podcast description:

Liberalism is on the defensive. Political discussion is shifting from “what’s wrong with liberalism” to “what’s true about politics”—to the question of what exactly must displace liberalism. In The Politics of the Real, D. C. Schindler takes us to the definitive metaphysical roots of liberal politics: the modern reversal of the priority of act over potency; the modern privileging of empty possibility over flourishing perfection. In this podcast, Michael Boland and D. C. Schindler discuss liberalism, and how we can build a politics of the real.

A Scottish boy stood firm and refused to kneel and pray while his Scouts group visited a Muslim mosque.

Well done to this boy's parents. We Catholics must be steadfast in our faith.

Ownership of property, and the means to make it productive should be widespread in a healthy social order.

This social philosophy has a name and it is “Distributism.”

We need more Distributists.

"The Land Movement is realist. It rejects fashion; it rejects that denial of free will which is involved in the dogma of inevitable progress. It will put back the clock as far as may be necessary to ensure the happiness and integrity of man. When noon is Angelus-time the clock is right."

I’m going to raise lowline angus cows. They’re short in stature and weigh less - the heritage Angus, unaffected by commercial manipulation. As they first found them in Scotland
