By William Schnack Evolution of Consent In this essay, I intend on demonstrating the complementarity between the cost-principle (as used by mutualists), rent-sharing (as displayed by the Georgists), and the principle of non-aggression (as used by the voluntaryists). I will also demonstrate why geo-mutualism is a better way […]
By Anonymous Anarchist News From Reddit Can you relate? 1) “Call-out culture was developed to allow activist groups to confront leaders who abused their privilege, but now it is being used to settle petty scores on the level of interpersonal politics. I now have a hard time believing […]

By William Schnack Evolution of Consent Introduction There are two natural tendencies within an economy; that toward competition and that which approaches monopoly.

This guy gets it. By David McElroy We do a very poor job of disagreeing in this country. You’d think we would be experts at it, because we do so much of it. But we’ve developed a culture in which most people are far more eager to tell […]
A good discussion of the variety of feminist thinking from an anti-state perspective. Is feminism all about hating men? MK Lords and Carlos Morales breakdown the history of feminism, MRA’s, MGTOW’s and a host of other issues in the libertarian atheist podcast. http://www.libertarian-atheist.com For some examples of MRA […]
Now, this is a reform that the far right and the far left should unite on behalf of. By Tom Mullen Huffington Post Do you lie awake at night in constant fear a fire will break out and nothing will be done to put it out? For the […]
The value of the popularity of maverick campaigns such as those of Sanders and Donald Trump is not that either candidate is particularly wonderful, but that political dissent is growing and people are hungry for alternatives. By David A. Fahrenthold Washington Post Greg Guma, who worked with Bernie […]
As a decentralist and pan-separatist, I am fine with progressive-left leaning localities like Seattle electing Marxists to their city council. I suspect this woman and I would agree on what I consider to be the big issues, i.e. U.S. imperialism, corporate governance, and the police state. That’s good […]
I was associated with a Christian Reconstructionist church for a short time in the early 80s, and while this article is written from a fairly doctrinaire liberal-left perspective, I’d argue that it’s a fairly accurate representation of the movement’s philosophy and ideology. This is probably the closest thing […]
I would hope that by now everyone realizes that within the pan-anarchist paradigm favored by ATS there is room for Chomskyites and Rothbardians alike. Noam Chomsky is interviewed by Michael Wilson. Alternet he following is the adapted text of an interview that first appeared in Modern Success magazine. […]
By Justin Raimondo Antiwar.Com As the smoke wafted up into the already smoggy Los Angeles air, a group of young libertarians watched as Jayel Aheram burned his “Stand With Rand” t-shirts. He had two of them, a token of his former esteem for the “libertarian-ish” presidential candidate and […]

Murray Rothbard on Malcolm X. By Murray Rothbard LewRockwell.Com This originally appeared in the Rothbard-Rockwell Report, February 1993. Why Malcolm X? Why the sudden rage, replete with baseball caps inscribed with X’s, for a man assassinated nearly thirty years ago? Partly it’s media hype, centered around the new […]

I like Jimmy a lot better out of power than in power. By Jon Schwartz FirstLook.Org Former president Jimmy Carter said Tuesday on the nationally syndicated radio show the Thom Hartmann Program that the United States is now an “oligarchy” in which “unlimited political bribery” has created “a complete subversion of our […]
This is an interesting discussion. I happen to disagree with Price’s hawkish foreign policy views, which don’t seem very informed beyond the level of FOX News, and Mooney’s Democratic Party-friendly liberalism. Listen here. Recently in Amherst, New York, two of Point of Inquiry’s hosts sat down for a […]
No surprise here. By Scott Shackford Reason At the White House’s “We the People” online petition system, 167,954 people demanded that the administration give domestic surveillance whistleblower Edward Snowden a “full, free, and absolute pardon for any crimes he has committed or may have committed related to blowing […]
Wow! A Leftist academic who actually gets it.
By Kevin Carson Schematic designs for a new society seem to be really popular among self-described anarchists of all stripes. On the Right, we have Rothbard’s model for an entire society modelled whole-cloth on a “libertarian law code” deduced from axioms like self-ownership and the non-aggression principle. Within […]

He’s a strong revolutionary voice within the anarchist circles. B. He’s a panarchist and pan-secessionist. C. He is pretty much equivalent to a classical anarchist, like […]
Give this guy a fair hearing. His idea of scrapping the American empire and embracing decentralized, self-determination for all has much merit. By Vegas Tenold ate at night on June 17, after he and his wife had gone to bed, Matthew Heimbach’s phone rang on his nightstand. On […]
An interview with anarchist Dave Strano about anarchist tabling at gun shows. This guy is head and shoulders above most left-anarchists on these questions, but he still falls back on leftist moralizing to a great degree. The best approach is to forget moralism and merely focus on commonalities […]
That is the question. By Anonymous AnarchistNews.Org While there have been some headlines and first person accounts of the Rojava region and the politics therein, there has been little analysis that is explicitly anarchist. That is grounded in the big modern questions about how can international solidarity occur […]
And this is just the Red Tribe’s list of grievances. Add to this the grievances of the Blue Tribe, Grey Tribe, the “Far Right,” minorities, the “Far Left,” etc. and the list would be five times as long. By Michael Scheuer Non-Intervention.Com “History will teach us … that […]

The resistance to the Pigs is the primary domestic issue we face in the United States.

An immensely important article from Anthony Gregory. By Anthony Gregory Independent Institute Somehow, left-liberals have associated the cause of gun rights with white racism, when if anything it is gun control that has a racist legacy. In the United States, early gun laws targeted recently freed blacks, and […]
By all means, donate. By Jennifer Baker Revolution-News.Com After 134 days of intense fights against ISIS, the Kurdish city of Kobanê is under reconstruction. An international solidarity movement is now using crowdfunding as a tool to support of the so-called ’Rojava Revolution’. Initiatives to rebuild Kobanê, a secular […]
So if a white guy gets charged with arson for burning a Rainbow flag, and a black woman gets charged with arson for burning a Confederate, I guess that’s supposed to show how far we’ve come towards achieving equal (no) rights and equal (non) protection under the law. […]

By William Schnack Evolution of Consent Introduction The two words, sex and economics, placed together in a sentence, are controversial by nature.

By Johnny Masilela Mail and Guardian A cluster of rickety shacks and neat brick houses cling to the rolling hills of the Klipgat settlement, northwest of Pretoria. There’s a throat-scratching smell of the nearby sewerage works in the air. Goat trails are etched on the koppies. Children rub […]
By William Schnack Evolution of Consent I propose a vision of society called “geo-mutualist panarchism.” This view is a combination of the mutualism of Pierre-Joseph Proudhon, the classical liberalism of Henry George, and the panarchism of Paul Emile de Puydt, supplemented with libertarian and classical liberal theories of […]
If you do not read any thing else that is posted on ATS this year, read this. By Larry Gambone Political Correctness was around for many years before the mass media caught on. It is definitely not an invention of the late 1980’s as many people seem to […]
These were some thoughts I originally posted during a social media discussion on the current Presidential candidates. “I lean towards the view that U.S. Presidents are similar to corporate CEOs in the sense that, yes, they have their own objectives and interests, BUT their primary job is to […]

I recently came across a group calling itself Christian National Anarcho-Capitalists. While this group doesn’t reflect my personal views or preferences, as a pan-anarchist I am for the proliferation of many anarchist societies based on the principle of free association, thereby enhancing genuine diversity, and “Christian National Anarcho-Capitalism” […]
This post is a bit dated, and seems to have been written in the 1990s, but the comparison is certainly relevant in the present era. Progressives and the Christian right are not normally thought to resemble each other. Certainly they don’t like each other. But since I’ve observed […]
