This February, anarchists, antifascists, and people across the Left raised the alarm about the “Rage Against the War Machine” rally, which was organized by the far-Right Mises Caucus of the Libertarian Party and brought together far-Right grifters with pseudo-populist blowhards, influencers, and washed up politicians. Neo-Nazis like Matthew Heimbach, who has long attempted to brand himself as a “socialist,” was also in attendance, and later took part in a small event put on by the disgraced Center for Political Innovation (CPI), a pro-Putin grouping which seeks to build alliances with the far-Right against “the West.” But what brought this island of unwanted toys together in the first place?

On this episode of the It’s Going Down podcast, we speak with Rob from The Right Podcast, and unpack the grifters and influencers pushing a “populist” alliance against “wokeness” on the tankie Left and fascist far-Right. This includes a look at Duginism, the Center of Political Innovation (CPI) and its leader, Caleb Maupin, the so-called “MAGA Communism” of grifters like Jackson Hinkle, why the Right is so spun on Putin, and much more.
