This is Part 3 in a series noting that 2025 is the 40th Anniversary of Harvard University Press' 1985 publication of Richard A. Epstein's "Takings: Private Property and the Power of Eminent Domain." We our celebration of this anniversary with a fair use and transformative reading, finishing chapter 2 in what Richard calls "Philosophical Preliminaries." He titles chapter 2 "Hobbseian Man, Lockean World" because he's taking a look at political philosophy and the American constitutional order, how these things interact. Every college student should read this book. It's a superb introduction to the political philosophy of the American regime. Praise the Lord. We'd like to thank Harvard University Press for making this material available and Richard Epstein for writing it. Make sure you buy the book and follow along. It's very important for you to have your own copy on your own bookshelf, and to begin to master this material. Support your local book dealer. See if they have a copy of it, or if they'd mind keeping an eye out for you. I always encourage buying physical books, objects you can have, hold, cherish, learn from, display on your bookshelf as a topic of conversation, things you can pass on to the next generation with your notes in them, things that do not depend upon electricity. Toward that end: Go to Harvard University Press for more selections available for purchase. Please support the publisher and your local booksellers. The Republican Professor is a pro-correctly-contemplating-property-rights podcast. The Republican Professor is produced and hosted by Dr. Lucas J. Mather, Ph.D.

In this eye-opening segment, Tara and Lee react to shocking proposals from Zohran Mamdani, the Democrat who won the NYC mayoral primary and openly advocates government seizure of private property to create massive “social housing” complexes. From grocery stores to department stores and entire apartment buildings, Mamdani envisions forcibly redistributing property through eminent domain—policies straight out of communist regimes. They highlight warnings from Peter Lamage, an immigrant who fled Albania's communism after his own father was killed for resisting forced redistribution. Despite the radical agenda, Democratic leaders like Chris Murphy, Hakeem Jeffries, and Chuck Schumer refuse to condemn Mamdani—signaling this ideology could be the party's future. Plus, Tara and Lee discuss declining patriotism among Democrats, the hypocrisy of wealthy progressives who expect others to sacrifice, and Ron DeSantis' new immigration enforcement facilities. It's a candid look at how fringe ideas are becoming mainstream—and what it could mean for America.

One of the most radical things you can do is live your life in direct opposition to the forces that control our society. Not just fighting for policies or organizing your community, although those are certainly important parts of it, but also living with values that oppose the values of our dominant society. And even more importantly, raising the next generation to embody those values—not in a coercive way, but through organic parenting and role modeling that make radicalism irresistible. This is how we raise revolutionaries: instilling community, love, egalitarianism, and a need for justice into children. And this is just what our guest in today's episode has devoted himself to doing. Breht O'Shea is an activist, organizer, political educator, and host of the podcast Revolutionary Left Radio and co-host of the podcasts Red Menace and Shoeless in South Dakota. He is a father of three based out of Omaha Nebraska. In this conversation, Part 3 of our Post Capitalist Parenting series, Breht shares with us insights about parenting that he's learned over the years as a father of three and what Marxism teaches us about parenting. We discuss the classic text by Engels, The Origin of the Family, Private Property and the State, which is a dialectical materialist analysis of patriarchy and the family, tracing the emergence of the patriarchal family and it took through various iterations of class society but also exploring what families have looked like under actually-existing socialism and also what it might look like under communism. We also explore the anti-natalist position which attempts to argue that having children is immoral, why this perspective is deeply flawed, what Buddhism can teach us about parenting, and much, much more.

For many families, homelessness is no longer someone else's problem. It is right around the corner, a real threat in their own immediate future. The crisis is the result of a long history of government policies, court cases, and political manipulation. While these disparate causes make up a tangled web, they have one surprising root: the attack on private property rights. For more than a century, government policies and court decisions have attacked, undermined, and eroded private property rights. Whether it be exclusionary zoning, eminent domain abuse, rent control, or excessive environmental regulations, The cumulative impact of these assaults on private property is that it has become increasingly difficult—or even impossible—to build adequate housing supplies to meet market demands. We are fast approaching a time when millions of typical Americans will, quite literally, have nowhere to live.Nowhere to Live: The Hidden Story of America's Housing Crisis, takes readers through the history of how we got here. With stories going back to the Civil War, the early twentieth century, and the ill-fated “urban renewal” movement of the 1950s, Nowhere to Live reveals how the government layered mistake upon mistake to create the current crisis. It also provides a way out: not by government fiat, but through the restoration of private property rights. https://www.amazon.com/Nowhere-Live-Hidden-Americas-Housing/dp/1510781536http://www.yourlotandparcel.org
A simple definition of Eminent Domain is when the Government uses its power to acquire or seize private property. This may be like land or a house with the intent to use that property for something that helps the public. Compensation (that means money) is offered but what could be long some of the lasting impacts to the seller? Current market value does not necessarily equate to long term appreciate or loss of value on remaing value to private property. That is what the Real Siblings discuss on their latest episode. Donna Reed and Eric Seemann are both professional real estate agents. Donna lives and works in Tucson Arizona with Keller Williams Southern Arizona while Eric lives and works in San Antonio Texas with Keller Williams Heritage.
