Written by SurrealPolitiks
Here at the Radical Agenda, we try to have a good time, but we never lose sight of the seriousness of the subject matter we deal with. Because the subject matter is so serious, we take our ability to deliver messages very seriously. We are, consequently, hyper aware of the fact that there exists no […]

To speak of the news today, would be to speak of a recent coup attempt in Russia. I have no small degree of concern for the implications of this, and will beg the pardon of the audience if I appear at times to be exceedingly cautious. I have made a name for myself with unfiltered […]

I guess that means that our justice system is fixed. Just kidding, of course. It’s about what you might have expected. A couple of tax related misdemeanors and a pre-trial diversion program to avoid...

I recently had occasion to consider a subject too often overlooked, which forms in no small part the foundation of all politics. It does so because it is at the heart of all human motivations. One might say, without it, there is no such thing as motivation. It is the question of value. While this […]

It is by no means unlistenable, but you know that I am capable of doing better. I recorded in a different manner...

One may or may not be shocked to learn that I still have friends who call themselves anarchists. Not of the Molotov cocktail variety, but rather of the Murray Rothbard sort. Libertarians who take their love of liberty to the ultimate extreme and say the State ought not exist and should instead be replaced by […]

Freedom of speech is axiomatic to most Americans. They reflexively say they support it whether they actually believe they do or not.

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 […]
