99 astreine Utopien für Deutschland. "Unser Kernauftrag ist es, komische Kritik zu üben, junge Menschen zu politisieren, die (verfickte) AfD zu ärgern und schließlich: Grüne, Linke und SPD mit Utopien zu konfrontieren, zur Not mit ihren eigenen."

In September 2016, the provocative essay "The Flight 93 Election" galvanized many voters by spotlighting the stakes ahead in November and reproaching complacent elements of the Right. Its author, Michael Anton - writing as "Publius Decius Mus" - addressed the main criticisms of his argument soon afterward in a "Restatement on Flight 93". A new criticism emerged that he had painted a dire scenario to be averted, but no positive vision. Here, Anton presents the positive ideal that inspired him - a distillation of his thinking on Americanism and the West, refined over decades.
