    Big thank you Political Science.

    To Blumenthal’s critics:

    Keep your dirty petrodollars, your crazed Takfiri radical militants from China, Chechnya, and from all over the world, keep the mountains of media campaigns of deception, cynicism, and lies. Keep those maniac sectarian psychos who deny the river of blood shed at the hands of your “Moderate Rebels.”

    But give us “Management of Savagery.”

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Killian Clarke, "Return of Tyranny: Why Counterrevolutions Emerge and Succeed" (Cambridge UP, 2025)
Q: What are the factors that make counterrevolution more likely to occur, and how much does it depend on something you mentioned earlier around the type of revolution in the first place?
The main thing that matters is the type of movement... If your revolution took the form of a rebellion and social revolution... These types of revolutionary regimes are very difficult to overthrow, and counterrevolutions very rarely succeed against them.
Killian Clarke, "Return of Tyranny: Why Counterrevolutions Emerge and Succeed" (Cambridge UP, 2025)
Q: Can we get started, please, with you introducing yourself a little bit and tell us why you decided to write this book? What were the questions that were motivating you into this project?
My name is Killian Clarke. I'm a professor at Georgetown University in the School of Foreign Service... The motivation for the book was Egypt's counterrevolution, which is the main case in the book.
