The political system appears broken but is functioning exactly as it was designed to - ensuring the ruling class never loses power.

Author and academic Neema Parvini joins the podcast to discuss the mechanics of elite control. We discuss the "Iron Law of Oligarchy" - the reality that all political parties, no matter how radical they start, eventually conform to the establishment . Neema also explains the structural advantages the elites use to maintain their monopoly on power.

We explore why "anti-establishment" figures like Donald Trump and the leaders of Reform UK have ultimately sold out their base, proving that outsiders don't change the system; the system changes the outsiders . From the uniparty's obsession with foreign wars to the generational theft of the national debt.
