In this gripping and urgent conversation, Andrew Gold sits down with Charles Asher Small, one of the world’s leading experts on extremist ideology, to examine how Western leadership may have underestimated — and in some cases enabled — dangerous movements to grow within free societies. Small argues that while the vast majority of people simply want to live peaceful lives, certain extremist factions have been allowed to build influence inside key institutions, creating a threat that political leaders have been unwilling to confront openly.
Charles Asher Small explains how long-term ideological projects — some dating back nearly a century — have evolved and adapted across borders, embedding themselves within education, media, political discourse and cultural debates. He describes how a mixture of foreign funding, soft-power influence campaigns and domestic political hesitation has created an environment where hostile extremist groups can operate under the radar, often disguising themselves within broader ideological movements.
Andrew pushes Charles on the most critical questions:
How did extremist factions gain influence inside liberal democracies?
Why have Western political leaders failed to address the threat?
What role has foreign funding played in shaping public narratives?
Are we witnessing a strategic ideological “cold war” from within?
Charles also breaks down his concept of the “Red-Green Alliance” — a convergence between far-left revolutionary movements and extremist Islamist ideologies — and why he believes this partnership, though not representing ordinary citizens, poses a unique challenge to democratic societies.
We explore:
• How extremist groups exploit Western freedoms
• Why some governments abroad have banned movements tolerated in the West
• The UK’s estimated 40,000 individuals on its extremist watchlist
• The moral and political confusion inside Western leadership
• The real-world impact on women, LGBTQ+ communities, minorities and free expression
• What must change to protect democratic values
Throughout the conversation, Charles stresses an essential point: the problem is extremist ideology, not entire communities or religions. Most people, he says, are peaceful and want stability — but weak leadership and political fear have allowed harmful fringe movements to gain ground.
This is a powerful, eye-opening discussion about national security, ideology, and the future of Western democracy.
