The Stark Truth with Robert Stark
Robert has some very interesting interviews available featuring cutting edge political dissidents and topics that rarely get discussed elsewhere. Check some of these out:
We’re Moving Forward and We Need Your Help!
2014 has thus far proved to be an interesting year for American Revolutionary Vanguard and AttacktheSystem.Com. After many years of laboring in the trenches on the fringe of the fringe of the world of dissident politics, the ideas we have long promoted here at ATS are starting to […]

The Left-Right Political Spectrum Is Bogus
By Crispin Sartwell The Atlantic The French Estates-General in 1789 (Isidore-Stanislaus Helman via Wikimedia Commons) Americans are more divided than ever by political ideology, as a recent Pew Research Center study makes clear. About a third of people on each side say of the other that its proponents […]
Kanaka Maoli to Feds: ‘Get Out of Our House! Go Home!’
Decolonial monarchism! This jives well with Bioregionalism and indigenous clan/band/village level sovereignty. A fellow member of my tribe commented that “sovereignty should not be defined at the whim of U.S. congressional mood swings.” I agree entirely but would add that the US would never allow for any genuine, […]
Osama Bin Laden’s 7 Rules for the Effective Terrorist
Slate’s write up characterizes these as rules for terrorists. It seems that they are more like rules for effective insurgency against Middle East States. Original documents can be found here. A brief fun down of the rules: Don’t fight civil wars. As for the local enemy, such as […]

The Rise of the Progressive Puritans
Jason Hurley, an acquaintance from maverick anarchist circles, offers the following insights concerning this article by Matt Walsh. Read Walsh’s article here. Says Jason: “Matt Walsh, your entire premise is based in medicalized morality. It’s no secret that early doctors and scientists of the developing western world carried […]
NATA-NY’s Anti-Racism
Yes, yes, a thousand times, yes! By J. Cypher NATA-NY Since its inception, NATA-NY has been grossly misunderstood and vehemently attacked for being so-called “racists.” Despite repeatedly demonstrating the ways in which we are anti-racist, we continue to be labeled “nazis” and “fascists.” At the same time, our […]
Anarchy Global Revolution and the Purpose of NAM
According to the Mao-Maos, what’s being described in this essay is already happening. By Pasquale Pulella NATA-NY Anarchy’s greatest feature is also its greatest weakness. Anarchy is a world without rulers which means no organized hierarchical violence. This lack of violence is not necessarily a weakness but it […]
Maoists Accuse National-Anarchists of Subverting Governments Worldwide
If only it were true. This is an interesting though rather bizarre article from a Maoist webzine, bits of which are re-posted on Matthew Lyons’ “anti-fascist” blog with additional commentary from Lyons himself (some of which is also rather interesting). Apparently, these Maoists think there are cadres of […]
How would North American Anarchists and Libertarians deal with any of these scenarios?
The likely future of American society over the next half century will include the following: 1. An ongoing widening of class divisions driven by a complex convergence of a variety of economic, political, technological, and demographic forces. 2. Growing poverty and the expansion of the underclass, the shrinking […]
The Future of the Movement (s)
As much as I criticize it, I’m actually glad to see the rather significant growth of the different anarchist, libertarian, and overlapping tendencies in recent years even if most of them are still at the training wheels phase. It used to be much worse. When I started this, […]
Yes, Privilege Checking Sucks
I don’t personally see myself as having a dog in this fight. I post this exchange between Given and Carson here out of recognition that this is a controversial issue among anarchists and libertarians, and one that many of them care a great deal about, even if I […]
Why Privilege Checking Does Not Suck
By Kevin Carson Center for a Stateless Society Casey Given, in “What’s the Point of Checking Your Privilege?”, questions the relevance or usefulness of the concept of privilege. Not that he questions the existence of racial and gender oppression — far from it. He simply argues that privilege […]
What is Left-Libertarianism?
This piece by Carson is a good discussion of the varying shades of “left-libertarian” philosophy but it also provides a good illustration of the ghettoized thinking many radicals fall into. Take this statement: “To the general public these days, “left-libertarian” is more apt to call to mind a […]
The Bigotry of Anti-Bigotry
Yes, yes, yes! A thousand times, yes! By Dan Sanchez Libertarian Alliance/LewRockwell.Com Left-libertarians who espouse “thick libertarianism” especially like to lump anti-“bigotry” (I’ll explain the scare quotes later) into libertarianism: e.g., anti-racism, anti-sexism, anti-homophobia, etc. The more principled ones are careful to insert the proviso that “libertarian” efforts […]
For Discussion
I agree with Dr. Gabb’s comments concerning this advertisement 100%. The discuss that follows on the Libertarian Alliance blog is also interesting. By Dr. Sean Gabb Libertarian Alliance I suspect that many of our regulars will need to pause when they see this, to wipe the vomit […]

Sean Gabb on the Iraq Situation
I concur with Sean completely. I first became interested in the anti-imperialist cause through hearing about and reading about the Vietnam War as a kid. As a very young adult, I was involved in opposing the Reagan administration’s war in Central America. When the first Iraq War happened […]
Is America dangerously divided?
By Bruce Stokes CNN Editor’s note: Bruce Stokes is director of global economic attitudes at the Pew Research Center. The views expressed are his own. If you thought that political polarization in America was bad, think again. Because it’s worse than you thought. And if you’re under the […]
The Terrorist Army Marching on Baghdad
By Jessica Lewis The Wall Street Journal We’re losing Iraq. Mosul, a great city in northern Iraq, now belongs to the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS). The world has changed overnight as a former al Qaeda affiliate wrested a major city from a state by force—and […]
Islamic militants advance toward Baghdad; Iran vows to aid Iraq
Saigon and Phnom Pehn, 1975. Baghdad, 2014. This is more or less how I thought the Iraq War would turn out when it began in 2003. The progression of events has been very similar to what happened in Vietnam and Cambodia. An invasion, followed by destabilization, an unpopular […]
Congratulations ConIFA World Cup Champions: Countea de Nissa
Countea de Nissa (County of Nice) won the ConIFA world cup final on June 9th in Sweden, coming out on top of eleven other teams from unrecognized nations around the world. Commiserations to the losing teams from Kurdistan, Darfur, Padania (Northern Italy), Arameans Suryoye (Assyria), Abkhazia, Sápmi (Northern […]
Retconning the Revolution
An alternative view to Keith Preston’s Forty Years in the Wilderness. People are rarely struck by trains they see coming. No-one expects to meet their end under the steel wheels of a hundred ton freight engine because no-one seriously believes they could fail to note the approach of […]
School Shootings and Gun Control
There has been a lot of talk about spree killers and gun control with the recent school shooting in Oregon and the rampaging cop killers in Las Vegas, NV and Canada. A few things to remember: The US police state and prison industrial complex incarcerates it’s own citizens […]
Gritty Star Wars
A collection of Star Wars art re-imagines the classic sci-fi story as a gritty TV series with realistic political undertones, exploring the moral ambiguity of military conflict and civil war. Poor kids are conscripted into the Storm Trooper infantry, and rebel insurgents are defectors from the imperial underclass […]
Left Gun Nuts
Rarely have I encountered an article that so vividly illustrates why the bulk of the “progressive” and “social democratic” Left is utterly worthless. The last sentence of this article is telling: “Only then can the Left shift the terrain of struggle away from apocalyptic fantasies of armed insurrection […]
UKIP: The System Works!
I wrote this last week, but then decided I didn’t like it. However since everyone is talking ’bout UKIP here’s the actual situation. NOTE: Fans of the UKIP “revolution” should watch out for Thursday’s Newark-on-Trent by election, which is a parliamentary election on a first past the post […]
Robert Stark interviews Keith Preston on The European Elections
Listen to the interview. Topics include: •The recent elections in Europe •How the elections were a referendum on the neoliberal establishment •How European Nationalist parties are moving to the left economically •Whether the United State could see similar movements •Ralph Nader’s call for a left right alliance against […]
Ralph Nader on the Left/Right Alliance: PBS interview
Watch the interview here. I feel somewhat vindicated now that such a venerated figure like Nader is advocating for the same basis set of positions and tactics (at least on topical issues) that I’ve advocated for years. Okay, my fellow anarchists, this is your chance. Nader has thrown […]
