Right-wing antisemitism: Luke Ford explains the problem
Luke Ford, Paul Gottfried, and Joseph Cotto discuss what Francois-Noel Babeuf called the “socialism of fools.”
Judge Jim Gray To Seek Libertarian Presidential Nomination
I respect Jim Gray, and “within the system” people like him are necessary, but the problem I have with him is that a former judge is likely to be too much of a system-loyalist for my tastes. For instance, Gray opposes jury nullification, just like when Gary Johnson […]
Trump’s inaccurate assertion of ‘total’ authority sparks challenge from governors
One of the best things about Trump is that he presents the state as it ought to be presented. When he speaks, he sounds like a mafia boss ordering a hit, which is exactly how the state ought to be portrayed. The chattering class/wine and cheese crowd crapola […]

All of the Economic Recovery Models Will Be Wrong Too
By Stefan Gleason, Money Metals Exchange “All of the projection models were wrong. All of them,” admitted New York Governor Andrew Cuomo in an interview last week with MSNBC. Governor Cuomo had been issuing frantic demands for tens of thousands of ventilators… that turned out not to be […]
President Barack Obama endorses Joe Biden For President
It’s hardly surprising that Obama would endorse his former VP. But it also shows that Obama is nothing more than an opportunistic careerist and ladder-climber. Certainly, he recognizes that Biden has dementia, early-stage Alzheimer’s, or some other mental defect. The decent thing to do would be to counsel […]
Maybe He Knew Too Much
Maybe that’s why Hillary Clinton and Samantha Power hired some Salafi mercenaries to stick a shank up his ass. Maybe he knew too much.
Insane Socialist AOC Blames “Late Stage Capitalism” for Coronavirus Unemployment
This is actually some pretty good economic commentary. I disagree with bits of this but it’s more than just the standard right-wing rant against “socialism” (although there are elements of that as well). This fellow seems to have a better understanding of the relationship between State and Capital […]
COVID-19 Is Creating The Greatest Wealth and Human Rights Heist
Some good comments from Kim on global house arrest while the ruling class goes looting. “If you’re not ready to die for it, take the word ‘freedom’ out of your vocabulary.” Malcolm X
Social Classes in the United States
Back in 1983, Paul Fussell published a classic work that outlined his theory of class stratification in the US. The book discussed not only the socioeconomic positions but also the cultural and lifestyle aspects of different classes. I’ve generally found Fussell’s analysis to be as good as any. […]
Video Shows McDonald’s Banning Black People In China, Social Justice Activists IGNORING China
Theoretically, both Russia and China (the Eastern wings of the International Five Families) are societies that meet most of the characteristics of what Westerners think of as “fascism.” Both exhibit chauvinistic nationalism, authoritarian statism, “crony capitalism,” wide class divisions, patriarchy, racism, xenophobia, and Islamophobia. Neither one is particularly […]
Biden, Media’s PATHETIC Hillary Defense Against Devastating Trump Ad
Historically, whenever societies have experienced either an economic downturn or an epidemic of a disease, people have started looking for scapegoats to blame for the problem. In ancient societies, a literal human sacrifice might result. Right now, the US is experiencing both an economic downturn and an epidemic. […]
Will The Economy Ever Be Normal Again?
The upside of the Latin Americanization of the US economy is that it will essentially resolve the immigration debate because no one will want to migrate from Latin America if they are only going to another country with Latin American class structures.
GOP Senator Proposes “Denmark Style” Relief & Out Lefts Dems!
A lot of Republican politicians are going to be moving leftward on economics in the future because many of them represent deep red zones that are in terrible economic condition, which will create conflict between them and the right-wing plutocrats that bankroll the party.

New poll shows Trump beating Biden, losing to Sanders
It makes perfect sense. The Left is rising in the US and the Right is declining. Trump is to the left of Biden and Sanders is to the left of Trump. The Left needs to realize they can’t win without the actual proletariat.

AOC stunning admission about Joe Biden
Alexandria cements her subservience to neoliberalism and her “momma bear” Nancy Pelosi. Reformism fails again. Trump’s populist-nationalism is arguably to the left of Biden’s neoliberalism/liberal-imperialism, just as France’s National Front has moved to the left of the neoliberals on economics and international relations. Regrettably, most “progressives” are so […]
Will Pandemic Finally Unleash the American Populist Revolution?
I don’t really agree with the “silent majority” victimology or right-wing ressentiment found in a lot of “populist-right” circles, but this article is a pretty good summary of the state of political affairs in the US today. By Robert Merry The American Conservative We know what kind of […]
Michael Gerson’s Tedious Anti-Trumpism
A pretty good takedown of the neocon shitheads from the paleos at TAC. The neocons are pissed because Trump hasn’t waged war aggressively enough for their tastes, or made enough effort to bankrupt the working class quickly enough. Actually, Trump has been far, far, far more friendly to […]
Are We Entering a New Era of State Nullification?
Hopefully. By Mark Perry The American Conservative When historians look back at “the coronavirus crisis of 2020,” they’re likely to focus on the spread of the disease, the economic dislocation it caused and how the federal government responded to it. Predictably, and depending on the depth and duration […]
Voltarine de Cleyre, the Anarchist Tradition, and the Political Challenge
Voltairine de Cleyre’s concept of “anarchism without adjectives” (which actually originated from Cuban anarchists a few decades earlier) was about reconciling or at least accommodating the various radical tendencies of her time (mutualists, individualists, collectivists, communists, syndicalists, Tolstoyans, Georgist, Bellamyites, etc.). Given the proliferation of a much greater […]

Chicago 1969: When Black Panthers aligned with Confederate-flag-wielding, working-class whites

Covid19 Death Figures “A Substantial Over-Estimate”
By Kit Knightly Global Research A few weeks ago we reported that, according to the Italian Institute of Health (ISS), only 12% of Italy’s reported Covid19 deaths actually listed Covid19 as the cause of death. Given that 99% of them had at least one serious co-morbidity (and that […]
Indigenous Anarchist Critique of Bolivia’s ‘Indigenous State’: Interview with Silvia Rivera Cusicanqui
The main difference between conventional far-left anti-imperialism of the Marxist-Leninist-Maoist variety and anarchist anti-imperialism is that the former is merely about self-determination for states and national-entities (something it ironically shares with 19th-century liberal-nationalism) while the latter is about groups and individuals. Anarchist anti-imperialism really has to start with […]
Trump Lashes Out at Fauci Amid Criticism of Slow Virus Response
I’m not a fan of carnival barker Trump, and I don’t especially trust High Priest of the white coat priesthood Fauci, but it looks like the media, which is overwhelming neoliberal/Democratic (except for the recycled know-nothings at FOX) is trying to drive a wedge between Trump and Fauci, […]
Correctional facilities are Virginia’s landlocked cruise ships
“Let my people go.” -Moses By Drs. Scott Heysell and Rebecca Dillingham In February, the Diamond Princess cruise ship, quarantined in the port of Yokahama, Japan, harbored the largest cluster of people with COVID-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus (SARS-COV-2), outside of mainland China. As the […]
Is the Libertarian Party Getting Its Shit Together?
I’m been observing the Libertarian Party since 1980 when Ed Clark ran against Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan (and John Anderson), although I only belonged to the party for a brief period in the early 90s. I even voted for the Libertarian candidate in 1992, the year of […]
GOP pushes voting by mail — with restrictions — as Trump attacks it as ‘corrupt’
LOL By Amy Gardner and Elise Viebeck Washington Post The same week President Trump told the public that voting by mail is “corrupt” and “ripe for fraud,” his own party was sending a very different message to Republican voters in Pennsylvania. “Voting by mail is an easy, convenient […]

Economist: Why we need a federal jobs guarantee NOW
Academic leftists can’t get over their addiction to statism. We don’t need no federal anything. Worker power, not state power. The ruling class needs to get out of the way so workers can create their own jobs.

‘It feels like a war zone’: As more of them die, grocery workers increasingly fear showing up at work

The “Thin” State and the “Thick State”
A reader summarize very well what I think are some of the problems with orthodox or mainstream libertarianism: As I see it, the two major failures are: 1. Despite nominal recognition that state and corporate power are intertwined, too often libertarians will go to bat to defend the […]
These Are the Conditions in Which Revolution Becomes Thinkable
Twenty years ago, I was arguing that the anti-globalization/anarchist left should cultivate the anti-globalist right as its natural allies, and that the cultural differences between the two were largely irrelevant because of those, you know, classic anarchist principles of anti-statism, free association, decentralization, federalism, etc. I continued making […]
Joe Rogan Wanted Bernie, Now He Prefers Biden Lose
Kulinski correctly points out that Sanders’ is as popular as he is not because of his supposed “hard left” fans, but because of his appeal to independents, swing voters even disaffected Trumpians. Populism and radical centrism are to the left of neoliberalism. Predictably, I’ve heard some from the […]
What are Krystal & Saagar’s ‘Quarantine Houses?’
This is a somewhat interesting discussion even if it is still within the paradigm of lame-ass reformism. The four basic pillars of an authentic revolutionary movement in the US would be a) anti-imperialism and solidarity with global self-determination movements; b) solidarity with all enemies of the state; c) […]
