This document outlines a proposed right-wing populist political strategy and program. It argues that (1) intellectuals and elites are tied to the existing ruling system and will not support dismantling it, (2) the strategy should focus on building support among middle and working class groups who are most oppressed by the current system, and (3) the program should concentrate on reducing the power of the state and elites by slashing taxes, welfare, racial quotas, and cracking down on violent crime. The goal is to expose how elites benefit from the current system and mobilize popular support for liberating average Americans from oppressive rules and privileges.
