The C4SS weenies get it half right, except they just can’t get past their Tower of Babel universalism. “Well, yeah, devolution is good but only if all 1600 polities have a liberal government and become part of a world government someday.” When will anarchists realize that anarchism and […]

By Máirtín Ó Catháin After the visit of John McAra (1870–1915), an anarchist propagandist from Scotland to Belfast in 1908, it was remarked by the press that there was clearly no hope for anarchism in Ulster.

By Clare Foran The Atlantic Secessionists across the United States are taking heart. The United Kingdom’s historic vote to leave the European Union last month has sparked interest in the far-fetched idea that U.S. states might win independence from Washington, D.C. Separatist groups are especially optimistic that Americans […]
By Chris Shaw Tradition is the conception of a solid society of recognised rules and customs with distributed classes of people. Generally seen as the lower and higher orders, society actually has much more complex relations of heredity and hierarchy, which take on different realms and situations. While […]
By Jeff Deist Mises Institute Conservatives and progressives alike spent the 20th century arguing for universal political principles. But the world is not so malleable; even in a hyper-connected digital age elites struggle to maintain support for globalism against a tide of nationalist, populist, and breakaway movements. Libertarians […]

By Chris Shaw I’ve made it clear that I don’t see the EU referendum as particularly important.

Caity and Dan welcome back Antony Sammeroff for a second time to the show. Antony begins by explaining the difference between ‘libertarianism’ and ‘voluntaryism’ and moral philosophies versus political philosophies. We talk about labels and how they are used in society. We get into terms like ‘anarchist’ and […]
Caity and Dan shift their gaze towards the Scottish National Party (SNP) and their scary authoritarian policies. We chat about the Named Person legislation and the dangers of the state getting involved in family life, the rise in armed police and stop-and-search powers in Scotland. We move on […]
How Glorious was the “Glorious Revolution”? (Adapted from an address to the 11th meeting of the Property & Freedom Society) By Keir Martland I would like to begin by thanking Professor Hoppe and Dr Imre Hoppe for their generosity in inviting me to speak on 2nd September to such […]
A lot of people interested in the concept of pan-secessionism have been excited about the growing wave of secessionist movements in Europe. However the bad news is I would suggest that those secession movements, while positive developments, do not really represent an adoption of pan secessionist values. An […]
Caity and Dan are back chatting about a new approach to politics (caring even less), we thank the Labour Party for being such a disaster and entertaining us, having fun and not being a downer about politicians, what we found funny and bizarre about the recent UK general […]
Caity and Dan present their ideas as to why so many people in Scotland have socialist tendencies, we chat about Margaret Thatcher, the poll tax (why Murray Rothbard thought that Thatcher had missed the point of a flat tax) and how future Scottish socialist politicians got their start […]
By Mike Whitney The Unz Review Last night’s FOX News GOP Presidential Debate Extravaganza featured the most riveting two minute political exchange ever heard on national television.

There are many such prototypes for anarchistic, voluntarist, or self-determined communities all over the world: Marinaleda, Christiania, Twin Oaks, Mondragon, Orania, Emilia-Romagna, and many others. Anarchists do not need to invent other-worldly utopias. We just need to expand the models that we already have. Two, three many Marinaleda’s!!!!! […]
Triad Conservative Last month, a highly publicized vote took place in Scotland to decide whether to secede from the United Kingdom.

By David Morris Alternet Since 1945 the number of nations has soared from about 60 to more than 180. The first wave of new sovereign states came with the decolonization movement of the 1960s and 1970s; the second in the early 1990s with the break-up of the Soviet […]
Will the future of political conflict pit a hyper-capitalist Left versus an anti-capitalist Right? By Michael Brendan Dougherty The Week There was once a fanciful idea that the internet and all its attendant technologies of cheap communication would reverse the pattern of urbanization in developed countries. Some people […]
By Greg Johnson Counter-Currents.Com As I write, the Scottish independence referendum remains undecided, but the “No” camp is in the lead. Regardless of the outcome, though, Scotland will have more independence, either leaving the UK altogether or enjoying greater autonomy within it. I was, frankly, surprised that many White Nationalists […]
By Daniel Hawkins The Art of Not Being Governed Something earth-shattering is about to happen. Tomorrow, the British-ruled country known as Scotland will vote for their independence. The news has been focusing almost entirely on what this will mean for the UK and Europe. Most people have been […]
What do our English or Scottish readers think of Sean’s analysis here? I’m not familiar with enough with the issues he raises to have an opinion on them. Besides, I’m neither English nor Scottish, so it’s none of my business. By Dr. Sean Gabb Libertarian Alliance Last week, […]

A very important piece illustrating how pan-secessionism is not just for leftists or rightists, but for everyone who genuinely opposes the system, or who simply wants self-determination for their own community or culture. By Michael Cushman Southern Nationalist Network Some Northern Leftists in the United States are willing […]
By Parag Khanna The Atlantic Last week, the world’s most globe-spanning empire until the mid-20th century let its fate be decided by 3.6 million voters in Scotland. While Great Britain narrowly salvaged its nominal unity, the episode offered an important reminder: The 21st century’s strongest political force is […]
We advocates of pan-secessionism do not need to grow or cultivate a constituency of our own. We already have what might be called a “sleeping constituency” of 80 million people. The only question we face is the issue of how to awake this sleeping giant, and get this […]
Grey Tribe becomes a de facto political majority + Support for secession becomes a de facto majority=We Win!! This is the most up to date data on secessionist sympathy I can find, and it looks like secessionist sympathy is up by a few percentage point. My guess is […]
By Neil Lock Libertarian Alliance Sean Gabb has called for (in his words) a decent libertarian essay in favour of open borders. I hope this will fit the bill. My view is certainly libertarian; for I favour not so much open borders, as no borders – at least, […]
By Alex Newman New American Much has been written about the ongoing efforts by globalists and the international establishment to centralize political and economic power.

By Chuck Spinney The Blaster Introduction to the Changing Face of War Uri Avnery’s thoughtful essay Scotland on the Euphrates questions the future viability of the nation-state as a form of social organization. His concerns are not new, although as Avnery noted, recent events certainly make them more believable — […]
Some observations about the recent election in Greece. First, I am hesitant base any general assessment of Western politics on domestic Greek politics, which is still very much in the mode of mid-twentieth century models of Left and Right. Greek’s communists are Old Leftists, not New Leftists. Their […]
