Antipolitics - Noun - reaction against or rejection of the practices or attitudes associated with traditional politics

Many of us have, at one point or another, been caught up in one of the modern political media cycle’s “current things.” Most headlines here are empty distractions. At best, they exist to prime the public for what those in power have already decided to implement. This first volume of "Antipolitics," by John Sweeney and Evelyn Grant, advocates for a world in which the structures of power are presented honestly. What you will read in this series of essays and speeches, written and presented between 2021 and 2024, is the authors’ attempt to grapple with what it means to truly reject postwar liberalism in all its forms. Synthesizing thinkers such as Schmitt, Ellul, Francis, Spengler, Burnham, Mosca, Pareto, de Jouvenel, Lenin, Hoppe, Gottfried, Kaczynski, and many others, "Antipolitics" provides a model to help you step over our current political frame. This volume contains 33 essays and speeches published on the Antipolitics Substack or presented at Scyldings Events and Nomos Events conferences, as well as a new foreword by Neema Parvini. Most of these essays and speeches have not been available in an accessible printed edition, until now.
