Front Porch Republic is a localist and communitarian American blog where various contributors – known as 'porchers' – emphasize the importance of concepts such as community, place, decentralism, and conservation. Front Porch Republic publishes books under the name Front Porch Republic Books, an imprint of Wipf and Stock.[1] It also sponsors an annual conference and, beginning in 2019, publishes the journal Local Culture.[2]
Ideology
[edit ]Porchers have myriad opinions, but generally agree that centralization, atomization, and disregard for limits represent obstacles to human flourishing.[3]
Damon Linker describes Front Porch Republic in The Week :
- Unlike the leaders of the mainstream conservative movement, Patrick Deneen, Mark T. Mitchell, Russell Arben Fox, Jeremy Beer, and the other "Porchers" have little interest in engaging with inside-the-Beltway power politics. Instead, they prefer to act as gadflies, denouncing the imperial ethos and influence-peddling that dominates Washington, as well as the boundless greed that drives would-be Masters of the Universe from around the country to seek their fortunes on Wall Street and in Hollywood and Silicon Valley.[4]
