About us
We are a group of people generally exploring ideas from a right wing perspective which may include conservative, classical liberal or libertarian perspectives.
Our group will meet together with a presentation and discussion of relevant books or articles by key thinkers past and present including guest speakers on occasion. We may also focus on a particular issue, although we are not a political action group. No prior knowledge or political leaning is necessary, only genuine good faith inquiry and willingness to engage in civil discourse about these ideas.
Meetings will be live around the Sydney CBD area. And feel free to join our sister group, the Free Speech & Politics @ the Pub.

Democracy: The God That Failed. Hans-Hermann Hoppe
The Shakespeare Hotel, 200 Devonshire Street, Sydney, AUJoin us for a presentation and discussion on Hans-Hermann Hoppe’s Democracy: The God That Failed, where we unpack his bold claim that the shift from monarchy to democracy did not end coercive rule, it simply changed the management.
Hoppe argues that democratic leaders, unlike kings with long-term ownership stakes, have little incentive to think beyond the next election cycle, fuelling redistribution, higher time preference and what he sees as moral and economic decline.
He writes: “If the right to vote were expanded to seven year olds … its policies would most definitely reflect the ‘legitimate concerns’ of children to have ‘adequate’ and ‘equal’ access to ‘free’ french fries, lemonade and videos.”
From critiques of socialism and social democracy to provocative takes on immigration, integration and property rights, Hoppe charts a sweeping alternative vision: radical secession, full privatisation, free trade paired with owner-consented immigration, cultural conservatism and ultimately a competitive private-law society without government at all.
Come along, try the schnitzel and ponder Hoppe’s wild suggestion that the path to a truly conservative society may lie in the last place conservatives expect to find it: a rigorous, property-based stateless order.
