The State of the International Conservative Movement | TPP#62
In this episode of the Pioneer Podcast, I talk about the state of the international conservative movement. In this regard I share five observations: three observations about the international conservative movement as a whole, and also two observations about the unique role that Afrikaners and other Western minorities from South Africa can play in this regard.

Where we stand | TPP #61
We have been overwhelmed with messages after publication of last week’s episode, in which we discuss the Lex Libertas plan. A documented version of the plan will soon be available on our website.
In this episode I explain where we stand in terms of taking action based on the plan. I also respond to some of the most important questions we have received. It’s important to understand that we have to roll out the plan in phases.
I explain why and I also explain the first phase.

The Many, Many Commissions of Cyril Ramaphosa | TPP #59
Lex Libertas just released a report called "The many, many commissions of Cyril Ramaphosa". This report shed some light on all the judiciary commissions, dialogues, panels, advisory councils and task teams Ramaphosa has established since the start of his presidency.
Lex Libertas argues that this amounts to a repetitive delay tactic to deflect from taking decisive action which might lead to internal divisions in the ruling political elite. As a result, the general public suffers from commission fatigue, and a loss of faith in the South African government.
Further, Lex Libertas argues that the solution is decentralisation of the political system in South Africa to facilitate autonomy and self-governance for the various communities that live here.

The Afrikaner Dream Lives on | TPP #57
In this episode of the Pioneer Podcast, I discuss why I believe the Afrikaner Dream is still alive. I begin with observations from philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche, how Alexis de Tocqueville described America in 1835, and what the American Dream is today. I then focus on our own history—the history of the Afrikaners in South Africa—before turning to the present. Lastly, I also discuss the future and how young people identify with being Afrikaners, and I motivate why I say the Afrikaner Dream lives on. Â
