From the land of the Yellow Vests. Sometimes the French know how to get things done. By Benjamin Dodman France 24 Three nights of unrest in the French capital’s northern suburbs have stoked fears of a major flare-up in deprived neighbourhoods where weeks of lockdown have exacerbated the […]
The current situation involves a state-ordered freeze on the economy, followed by a ruling class looting spree in the form of a “stimulus” and massive profiteering by the plutocracy, which means there should be a parallel freeze on economic obligations. What we need is a massive public uprising […]
By Troy Southgate I can’t say I’m too surprised at the high degree of naivety and conformism that we are witnessing during this period. I wonder how many people here are familiar with the old Twilight Zone episode from 1960, The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street? The […]
By Troy Southgate Having watched a YouTube video in which an American leftist provides a personal critique of the H.G. Wells novel, The Time Machine (1895), I feel that I should use his analysis to highlight at least one of the difficulties presented by class-based thinking. Outlining the […]
By John Bowden The Hill Jesse Ventura, who served as Minnesota governor as a member of the Reform Party, said Monday that he is “testing the waters” for a potential 2020 run for president on the Green Party ticket. In a pair of tweets, the former wrestling star, […]
How would a libertarian deal with the Coronavirus? Is government the best solution for this problem? Will Jacob come shooting with us sometime? These questions and more get answered by the great Jacob Hornbeger. We also discuss ongoing issues in Virginia, including Gov. Ralph Northam’s sudden dictatorial powers!
As Tom Woods has said, no matter who you vote for you always end up getting John McCain.
Ryan Grim gives insight on his bombshell report that includes new footage of Tara Reade’s mother calling into the Larry King Live show in the early 90s to talk about her daughter’s assault by a “prominent Senator.”
Krystal Ball blasts the media and liberal figures for the blatant hypocrisy of Tara Reade, as new reports emerge that back Tara’s credibility.
North Korea is a Stalinist gulag that functions like a medieval hermit kingdom. The DPRK is significant only because it has nuclear weapons, and survives only with Chinese assistance. The DPRK is dependent on China and China is dependent on the US. Leave the DPRK alone and they […]
I’ve been thinking that if this situation continues a food shortage may be on the way. The current economic crisis is a government-ordered depression. It may not be the government’s fault that there is an epidemic, and it may be that there is a legitimate or necessary purpose […]
An anarcho-capitalist and a libertarian socialist debate. Ancapitstan for the an-caps. Bakuninland for the libsocs.
A couple of Jacobin Magazine-style “democratic socialists” engage in a torturous discussion of what the “progressive” rather than “reactionary” view of China should be, and why China is generally bad as opposed to Cuba, which is supposedly generally good. China should be viewed as a backwater province in […]
Thank God I am not a lame-ass “progressive” who thinks the way you do politics is beg cretins like Clinton or Biden for more crumbs. If these “progressives” put as much effort into building an actual revolutionary movement as they do into this electoralist hand-wringing, they might have […]
I actually agree with all four statements in this meme, although if you take the top statement to extremes, you may get headhunters, and if you take the bottom statement to extremes, you may get 12-year-olds who want to have an all-night party without any adult supervision.
Regrettably, many on the right cannot get over their love for the carceral state and their lust for a man in uniform.
Because the media is a core element of the New Clerisy, which is aligned with the left-wing of the ruling class, for which the Democratic Party is a political arm.
It can be reasonably argued that Lao-Tzu was the first anarchist.
Yes, there is such a thing as Islamic anarchism.
Julia Tourianski discusses her conversion from atheist/anarcho-capitalism to Tolstoyan/Anabaptist/Orthodox Christian anarchism. Christian anarchism is an important tradition within anarchism that is often overlooked.
I greatly respect both the atheist/anticlerical tradition within anarchism as well as the Christian anarchist tradition and other spiritually-based forms of anarchism. This video makes a compelling case for the anticlerical position, at least as it pertains to the Abrahamic traditions, although these people are not anarchists, just […]
My take on the current crisis is that freedom, health, and economic needs are all important values, and it’s necessary to make reasonable tradeoffs and balances between each of these. I predictably think that a localized approach is the best approach because it’s obviously true that different places […]
Tom Woods takes on the white coat priesthood. Excellent. Listen here. In this episode I cover a lot of ground, albeit a bit haphazardly: the unintended consequences of “lockdown,” the superstitious reverence for “scientists” (who, contrary to popular belief, are not in fact qualified to answer all questions), […]
Available at Amazon.Com In this brochure Öcalan’s political project, the Democratic Confederalism, is developed systematically. A fundamental criticism of the nation state is followed by a description of its possible alternative, a transnational grass-roots democracy. The texts that form this brochure have been compiled from several of Öcalan’s, […]
Available at Amazon.Com This collection of essays strives to answer libertarian questions using authoritarian answers. It critiques libertarian assumptions and offers unintuitive solutions that are fully compatible with non-aggression, private property, and free markets. This book is a much-needed world-view adjustment for any libertarian who has grown intellectually […]
Todd Lewis is joined by Keith Preston, Right Ruminations and Swithun Dobson to discuss the intersection between psychological preferences and political identities.
Tom Woods and Dan McCarthy discuss Dementia Man. Listen here. In the midst of the pandemic Joe Biden has become invisible, even more of a nonentity than usual. Dan McCarthy has an intriguing take on what the mediocre, uninspiring Biden truly represents. Article Discussed “Joe Biden Is The […]
How do you define anarchy? Is it about no government or no “unjust hierarchies” for you? First, let me say that I am only speaking for myself, and not for any organization, or any movement as a whole. I would define anarchism as a form of social […]
Check out Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, and Part 5. By Nicky Reid aka Comrade Hermit Exile in Happy Valley You motherfucker! You goddamn, cocksucking, clitlicking, shiteating, dickless, cuntless, gutless, motherfucking piece of fucking shit!! Ahem, sorry about that, dearest motherfuckers, but apparently on day […]
During the 1990s, I began to realize that the American left was increasingly being incorporated into the institutional mainstream, and was becoming entirely co-opted by the ruling class. This was evidenced by, for example, the widespread left-wing support for the US government’s massacre at Waco in 1993, acquiescence […]
As the US Empire recedes due to overextension and internal implosion, it seems the emerging multipolar world order will look something like this: In North America, the US will obviously be the hegemon with Canada and Mexico as its satellites. In South America, the richest country, Argentina, will […]
Chris Hedges is way too much of a sanctimonious lefto-moralist for my tastes (he is a Presbyterian minister after all), but he’s good on imperialism and corporatism. It’s great the way Chris calls out Sanders as a Schumer-lackey in this.
So Trump presents the state in a realistic and accurate manner, minus all of the usual do-gooder pageantry.
The Tech Oligarchy works to block any opposition to the Bidenists. The Greens are milquetoast reformists overrun by SJWs, and not my cup of tea at all, but it’s funny how the Tech Oligarchy wants to makes sure things are rigged on behalf of Dementia Man.
By Barbara Demick New Yorker Amid reports of Kim Jong Un’s failing health, it appears that the most obvious successor to rule the country, despite its sexist political system, is his sister, Kim Yo Jong. Photograph from Bloomberg / Getty The conventional wisdom is that a woman could […]
“Important takeaways from this article: Many higher up Republicans secretly wish Trump would just keep his mouth shut for as long as possible. Many higher up Democrats secretly think there best chance of Biden winning is for him to stay in quarantined in his basement for as long […]
Max Nettlau’s classic is now available. Max Nettlau was the most proficient, and still is the most important, chronicler of anarchism. This one volume (at 400 pages) introduction to the history of anarchist ideas and early movements, summarizing the author’s monumental 9-volume history and several biographies, is the […]
By Jenny Graves The Conversation All over the world – in China, Italy, the United States and Australia – many more men than women are dying from COVID-19. Why? Is it genes, hormones, the immune system – or behaviour – that makes men more susceptible to the disease? […]
Teach your children well.
By Troy Southgate I began wondering about hypochondria and whether the present situation has enabled the average sufferer, or imagined sufferer, to overcome his or her neurosis. If you consider how making an appointment with the doctor may now provoke a degree of guilt in the sense that […]
By Troy Southgate Today marks the forty-sixth anniversary of the so-called Carnation Revolution (Revolução dos Cravos), but although large numbers of Portuguese continue to celebrate the events of April 25th, 1974, the entire occasion is but an annual display of collective psychosis. Not only was the possibility of […]
By Welf Herfurth Well, so far I have been quiet about this Corona virus hysteria because there are to many unknowns and fake news about it. I am totally aware that it is a serious matter and we all must do our thing to combat the spread of […]
