Elites, Populism & The Illusion of Change

Neema Parvini, author of The Populist Delusion — a defining work in dissident political theory — joins me to explore the realities behind modern power. We discuss why democracy functions as a “soft dictatorship,” the true role of populist parties, and how elite theory explains the mechanics of the ruling class. From Tony Blair and NGO influence to globalism, Israel, and post-revolutionary power recapture, this conversation exposes how the system always recentralises control.
