The main problem the Democraps have is their delusion they can win elections on demographics and culture-war politics alone while ignoring class issues, and the Left falls right in line behind this (“The Deplorables Are Coming!”). Then along comes right-wing populism. Does the Left not realize that Marx […]
Peter Zeihan provides a refreshing alternative to the China-love and/or China-hate that’s going on nowadays from the left and right. No, China is not going to replace the US as the global hegemon. Instead, China is likely to either implode or revert into neo-Maoism (which is already happening […]

By Sean Gabb Will anyone be outraged if I say how much I have enjoyed the lockdown? On the one hand, I have the spectacle, as often as I step outside, of fools shambling about in face masks and rubber gloves – all ready to start whining about […]
“I support (but not agree with) all forms of protest.” -Adil Sarker
David Icke lasted longer on Facebook than I did, lol.

Michael Moore presents Planet of the Humans, a documentary that dares to say what no one else will this Earth Day — that we are losing the battle to stop climate change on planet earth because we are following leaders who have taken us down the wrong road […]
The ultimate heel vs. heel match. It’s funny how Dubya will do anything to salvage his historic reputation. Meanwhile, Trump never really had a reputation to salvage. By Justin Wise President Trump on Sunday took aim at George W. Bush after the former Republican president issued a call […]
Bill Lind argues that a successful populism would be culturally conservative and economically liberal. It’s true that research shows that Republican voters lean to the left of their elites on economics and that Democratic voters lean to the right of their elites on social questions. But this ignores […]
The statist-centrist-centralist-reformist-electoralist “populism” of Krystal and Saager is interesting and insightful in some ways, but lame as hell in other ways. Gotta get over that “social contract” mythology, Saager. Four suggestions: 1. Renounce the state and become anarchists. The state is the enemy of all mankind. 2. Abandon […]
The basic arguments that these guys make are spot-on: If you don’t want more anti-lockdown protests (and more), then a debt moratorium is essential. Ben Burgis Debunks Critics Of His “Reopen America” Piece
By Ben Burgis Jacobin The anti-lockdown protests may currently represent a Trumpian minority — but that could easily change if the choice becomes going hungry or going back to work.

I don’t really see these guys becoming popular in the US. American-style right-wing populism is the Know-Nothing tradition, not Throne and Altar. The problem with the US right in all its forms is that it is swimming against the demographic, cultural, generation, economic, and technological tides. The future […]
Two writers that have influenced my own thinking as much as any others are Noam Chomsky and Kevin Carson. Chomsky has probably influenced my thinking on international relations to a greater degree than any other writer on the topic, and Carson has probably influenced my thinking on economics […]
Deference to credentialed and experienced experts is generally a good plan barring compelling evidence to the contrary, but “experts” are not divine oracles, and science and medicine can become corrupted, abusive, or incompetent as much as any other kind of institution. One thing that I have found interesting […]
Rising is by far the best the “mainstream media” has to offer, which is why I post so much of their material here, but this guy’s critique of Rising, echoing Kim Iversen, for not being nearly radical enough is spot on. A real test of a media outlet’s […]

By Edward Feser I have argued both that the lockdown was a justifiable initial reaction to the Covid-19 crisis, and that skeptics ought nevertheless to be listened to, and listened to more earnestly the longer the lockdown goes on. Here’s one front line doctor who argues that it […]
By Matt Taibbi Earlier this week, Atlantic magazine – fast becoming the favored media outlet for self-styled intellectual elites of the Aspen Institute type – ran an in-depth article of the problems free speech pose to American society in the coronavirus era.
