Expect more cracks of this type to emerge on the Left in the future. Žižek’s thoughts on the refugee crisis are useless, even harmful, for creating a pan-European leftist movement capable of challenging the far-right. Photo by Mariana Costa, via Flickr. In a recent article Žižek replied to […]

How ISIS is being used as a tool of the Anglo-American-Zionist-Wahhabist axis. By Taxi Plato’s Guns The Mainstream Media is doing all it can to avoid addressing the obvious: naming, dissecting and damning ISIS’s major backers and supporters. There are no such informative and sanguine reports being penned […]
If true, this is big news. By Michael Bassett Asia Observer Swiss-educated reformer Kim Jong-un is liberating North Korea by proliferating a capitalist, knowledge-based economy, says Michael Bassett. When Kim Jong-il died, speculation ran awry that North Korea would either collapse or be taken over by hard-liners. Analysts watched doggedly […]
By Keir Martland There’s a lot of talk of the recent debates over the Cameron regime’s proposed Syrian adventure being a good thing and that we are learning from the mistakes of Iraq and Libya. No we aren’t. The vast majority of voices we are hearing are in […]
The news is all made up. Did you know that only a handful of corporations, 6 to be exact, control over 90 percent of the media? That means nearly everything we hear on the radio, read in the news, and see on television (including ‘news’). I’m talking about General Electric […]
Pat Buchanan on the prospects for World War Three. Right now, this is the main issue that radicals and dissident, and indeed all reasonable people, in the United State and Europe should be focused on. This is serious business, and a reminded of why our first priority radicals, […]
Institute for Anarchist Studies Murray Bookchin was a pivotal, polarizing figure in the post-WWII history of anarchism. He put ecology and democracy on the anarchist agenda in a way that was as novel as it is enduring.

By Reihan Salam National Review Jamelle Bouie argues that the United States might never become a “majority-minority” country, as the white majority will expand over time through intermarriage and assimilation: It’s hard to overstate the significance of this. Whites are the mainstream of American life, with tremendous representation […]
What follows is the transcript of a debate that I had on this question with a left-anarchist/libertarian socialist on a social media forum. His comments are in italics and my response are in standard font. A defence of anarchism as (1) libertarian socialism, and (2) an anti-hierarchical and […]

A commenter at AnarchistNews.Org posting as “SirEinzige” offers these observations concerning yours truly and my previous reply to a commentor on the same thread: What Preston doesn’t seem to realize is that classical anarchist failures were to an inherent degree rooted in their organizational successes which played a […]
James Corbett makes the case for the “false flag” view of the Paris attacks. That’s not a perspective that I think has been effectively demonstrated, but much of the analysis Corbett provides in these commentaries is accurate concerning the geopolitical questions involved.

A commenter at AnarchistNews.Org offered this response to my latest exchange with Anti-Fascist News: I read it. I read through other things on that site. Yikes. It’s really bizarre that a large portion of Preston’s criticism of “left” anarchists (anarchists) is that they have a kind of selective […]

“Anti-Fascist News” has generated another round. Here is my “response to response to response to response.” The exchange between anarchism and Marxism has been complex and ongoing, yet this idea that Marxism has infiltrated anarchism and that is why it has adopted socially left values is not just […]

“Anti-Fascist News“replies to my reply (in typical anarchist fashion, as our rivals point out). I get the feeling that website is probably just one person, as all the posts have the same writing style and tone, and use the byline of “Anti-Fascist Front.” Probably some college kid writing […]

By Aleksey Bashtavenko Attitudes toward hierarchies shed light on fundamental differences between the left and the right. The latter tend to be skeptical of them and for this reason, leftists often rally around the value of equality. On the other hand, the right views hierarchies as desirable […]

Atlantic article from January. Thoughtful overview of Dar al-Islam in the land of the Gauls.

Tasnim News Agency TEHRAN (Tasnim) – An American political analyst is of the opinion that the Takfiri Daesh terrorist group launched the Paris attacks on November 13 in the hope of creating division between Muslims and Western Christians. “While it is certainly true that such attacks contribute to […]
A reply to “Anti-Fascist News“: An uninformed lay person reading the pathetically ignorant and barely literate bromide against Attack the System recently issued by “Anti-Fascist News” would hardly know anarchism is a vast tradition in modern political philosophy with roots in the radical Enlightenment more than two centuries […]

The second is enlarged membership of the political nation – that is, the grant of voting and other citizenship rights to the newcomers. These tend to be seen as a […]

By Michael Scheuer Non-Intervention.Com From this distance, Mr. Putin, it appears that when you unleashed the Russian air force on 30 September 2015 you expected to save Bashir al-Assad’s regime and bring order to Syria and Iraq in a relatively short period of time. Well, the application of […]

I tell you, this Keith Preston guy is bad ass, whoever he is. Says professional “anti-fascist” Mike Issacson: “Another NPI speaker Keith Preston, also ends up largely in the same place as Faye and the others, but in his own fake anarchist way. For Preston, the end result […]
Here we have the edifying spectacle of an anarchist equating Hollywood liberal and militant atheist Bill Maher with General Franco. My take? This insults the memory of the many anarchists (and many others) who died or suffered horribly for resisting the totalitarian regimes, left and right, of the […]
