The Nina Turner meme below summarizes what contemporary “progressives” typically favor when it comes to economic reform. These kinds of ideas are going to be increasingly pervasive and, likely, popular in the future for two reasons: 1) widening class divisions and growing poverty; 2) the rising cultural hegemony […]
What places like South Dakota and Idaho that are most resistant to weed legalization need is for pro-legalization elements to form “weed sanctuary cities,” just like pro-gun folks in blue states have formed “2nd amendment countries.” Between sanctuary cities/countries and state nullification efforts, it’s possible to subvert governmental […]
The intersection of the Marcusean “cultural Marxists” and Trotskyite “neoconservatives” with the US intelligence services and the corporate class is probably one of the most important, interesting, and yet ignored aspects of US political and intellectual history.

By Sheldon Richman, Free Association The prospects for individual liberty and the required rollback of the government seem as bleak as ever, but we can’t let appearances, no matter how pervasive, be decisive. The spark within most people–the longing to chart one’s course in life–never really dies. We’ve […]

I always thought the rise of a populist-right in the USA would be a welcome thing because it would have the effect of fragmenting the Reaganite/neocon coalition. By George F. Will, Washington Post The first of this century’s national traumas is denoted by two numbers: 9/11. One purpose […]
By Jamie Gangel, Kevin Liptak, Michael Warren and Marshall Cohen, CNN WASHINGTON — In an expletive-laced phone call with House Republican leader Kevin McCarthy while the Capitol was under attack, then-President Donald Trump said the rioters cared more about the election results than McCarthy did. “Well, Kevin, I […]

While I generally regard the January 6 incident as an ordinary riot rather than a serious coup attempt, what is being described in this meme is by no means impossible. Also, it could come from any direction, not just the most obvious source. A right-wing demagogue who becomes […]
By Ally Marie McLean With all of the censorship and deplatforming done by America’s big tech corporations lately, there have been calls from many on the right to create alternative platforms for dissenting voices. Anarchists can take advantage of this situation and create such alternative platforms, if we […]
My guess is that the neocons and Never Trumpers are hoping for a split that will permanently divide the right and provide the Democrats with a permanent hegemony, which the neocons could then successfully colonize (which they have largely done anyway).
I’m neither an orthodox Libertarian like Adam nor a Jacobin socialist like Ben, though I’m peripherally influenced by both traditions.

During times of upheaval and uncertainty, cults tend to proliferate, particularly among people who aren’t very bright, lack critical thinking skills or are emotionally unstable.
By Ruth Kinna, ROAR Magazine In March 1889 Peter Kropotkin agreed to give six lectures to William Morris’s Socialist Society in Hammersmith, London.

One thing I find particularly interesting is some leftists continue to deny that “cancel culture” even exists, including ones who have actually been canceled. It’s like the French radicals or old Bolsheviks who defended the regime right up until the moment they were ordered to the guillotine or […]
