Among the topics covered: The ambiguity of “freedom” in the Democrats’ rhetoric; How the platform packages legitimate freedom with the “freedom” to take from others; How the platform packages equality of rights with metaphysical equality; How the platform’s egalitarianism is racist and infantilizing; How altruism and Marxist economics drive the platform’s call for the wealthy to pay their “fair share” in taxes; What a principled opposition to the DNC platform would look like. Recommended in this podcast are Ayn Rand’s essay “Man’s Rights” and the July 25 New Ideal podcast episode “Why Socialists Fear the Republican Party Platform.” The podcast premiered on August 29, 2024.
