Thomas Aquinas says "cruelty" is a vice proper to tyrants. In this episode, Andrew and Marc argue that this infliction of pain is necessary, if the tyrant is going to make up for the motivating power he loses when he chooses to rule for private gain rather than the common good.

In this episode, Andrew and Marc describe bureaucracy as a necessary tool in tyranny's toolkit, and try to remind everyone that they are, in fact, a special little snowflake.

Following New Polity's Good Money podcast, this brand new series explores Good Politics. How? By contrasting it with Really Bad Politics—tyranny. In this episode, Andrew Jones and Marc Barnes describe and dissect our tyrannical social order, its technological mechanisms, its structural nature, and the Catholic alternative—a politics of peace.

Nick Plato interviews Andrew Willard Jones about his conversion (from nihilism) to Catholicism, about how he entered Catholic politics, about his family, and gets his hot takes on America. Get to know Dr. Jones in this stopgap podcast.

Andrew Willard Jones and Alex Plato redefine politics and discuss power and how it should be used in the ideal Christian society.

Many people are discussing intentional Christian communities, but rarely consider the role of money within them. Most uses of money function to degrade or undermine Christian community. In this penultimate episode, Marc Barnes and Jacob Imam discuss how money should be used—to build the Christian communities we so desire.
