Ryan Research Podcast

I’m joined today by Tony Chamas. He is an independent researcher and has an upcoming book titled “Freedom to Change Nothing: The Spectrum of Managed Democracy and What Makes the US Different” with Revol Press. He also hosts the YouTube channel, 1Dime as well as his podcast, 1Dime Radio. Notable videos include The Deficit Myth and China's Cultural Revolution: The Full Story (Documentary). He also recently launched a Substack where you can find more of his written content.
In our chat, we discussed our shared desire to critique the left and right. Chamas comes at it from a leftist starting point and I come at it from a right wing starting point. We uncover various contradictions and insufficiencies that both the left and the right contain. We mostly stick to schools of thought in political economy. We touch on Jean-Baptiste Colbert, Adam Smith, David Ricardo, Karl Marx, Vladimir Lenin, Friedrich List, and Henry C. Carey. We also cover the geographic case studies of early America, France, Russia, Britain, and China. Naturally, political economy begs the questions of politics, history, and philosophy. We go over the nature of the state, democratic process, oligarchic capture, idealism vs. historical materialism, and a sprinkle of Hegelianism. I found this conversation very constructive and I hope you do too.

This podcast is also available on all major podcast platforms.

László Molnárfi is a community organizer in Ireland. He is a primary contributor to Aontacht Media and formerly Trinity College Dublin Students’ Union President. He describes himself as part of the left but has recently made waves by critiquing the mainstream left. 
In our chat, he explains the problems of the mainstream left and the rise of left populism. Fascinately, he argues that populism isn’t a dirty word of the right but something more neutral. He advocates for the left to take up populist causes to better unite the populace while also arguing the intellectual case for the authenticity behind it. We cover current Irish politics, the multinational corporate sector in Ireland, Irish history, our shared appreciation for Angela Nagle’s work, and the trends that will shape Ireland’s 2030 election.
