Dissent on HIV/AIDS
Lew Rockwell interviews filmmaker Brent Leung. Listen to the podcast.

Iraq: South Korea in the Middle East?
Interesting article from Scott Ritter. It is in this topsy-turvy world created by political hype and media spin that a president can, with a straight face, announce the withdrawal of American “combat troops” from Iraq, while leaving behind six combat brigades (renamed, but not reorganized) comprising some 50,000 […]
More on Dennis Steele's Campaign for an Independent Vermont
Press coverage from regional media. Read the article here. And other article here. Why Vermont Gubernatorial Candidates Are Afraid to Debate Dennis Steele by Thomas Naylor (Thanks, Jim!)
U.S. Population Growth
U.S. Census Bureau data on population growth. Clearly, the growth of incarceration rates is light years ahead of what could be accounted for by ordinary population growth. The Census Bureau also provides projections for the future, but these are highly speculative. We have shown their ‘middle estimates’ extending […]
U.S. Incarceration Rates Since 1920
The U.S. prison population has quintupled since 1980.
Your Guide to Recording the Police
Helpful tips from Radley Balko. So far Massachusetts is the only state to explicitly uphold a conviction for recording on-duty cops, and Illinois and Massachusetts are the only states where it is clearly illegal. The Illinois law has yet to be considered by the state’s Supreme Court, while […]
55% of Violent Crimes, 84% of Property Crimes Go Unsolved
Some interesting stats on the clearance rates for crimes. Two in five murderers, three in five rapists, and three in four armed robbers, and nine in ten burglars “get away with it.” It’s also true that in some large cities the clearance rate for homicides is less than […]
Politically Correct Universities and Slave Morality
Some more gems from AltRight: PCU by Paul Gottfried Although PC is taught at elite universities, its function there is entirely different from what it is elsewhere. In the Ivies, for example, PC constitutes the ideological basis of the present managerial order. It is the sacral and legitimating […]
Carson on Plutocrats and PIGS
“I’ve Never Seen a Poor Person Give Anyone a Job” “A Government of Laws? Tell Me Another One”
Insights on Race Issues
From “Miles,” a poster on Chris George’s blog: “The Deacons for Defense and the Black Panthers, in my eyes, were legitimate anti-racists who acted against racist governments for self-determination. But then again, most of the members of these groups (esp. the Panthers) were involved in community movements and […]
Is It Time to Liberate Ourselves from the Word Secession?
Interesting new article from Tom Naylor. Tom argues that “liberation” is a better term. My guess is that nothing will appease the PC Inquisitors irrespective of what kind of terminology we employ, nor do I think we should bother with trying to appease the forces of PC. But […]
One in Seven Americans Live in Poverty
The U.S. now has its highest poverty rate since 1965. We’ve got to get this class struggle thing moving.
A New Globalization?
Good stuff from the always interesting John Robb.
This Is How It's Done….
Great interview with Dennis Steele of the Second Vermont Republic. We need a Dennis Steele in every state and locality in the U.S.A.
The Culture War Is Over, and the Left is the Winner
And this guy is supposed to be the leader of the Far-Right Homophobes? So how long is it going to be before a reignited class struggle replaces the culture wars? This data is also interesting.
R.I.P. American Empire, and Good Riddance
When even an arch-imperialist like Thomas Friedman says the Empire is on its way down due to financial ruin, it must be true. Obama’s escalation of the war in Afghanistan, the “graveyard of empires,” is apparently going to be the empire’s last hurrah. So what’s next on our […]
A Libertarian Argument Against Open Borders
A realist approach from John Hospers, the first LP presidential candidate in 1972. He even got an electoral vote. This is the essay I would write, almost word for word, if I were going to do an extended discussion of the issue.
The Pitfalls of Rationalism
New essay from Michael Parish. The basic tenants of liberalism are not, ironically, arrived at through deductive logic but through an arduous process of mental abstraction. What is presented to us by rationalists as a realist assessment of the world is in truth a vague conceptualization produced by […]
Would a libertarian society deprive individuals of cultural roots and collective identity?
That’s the question the Libertarian Alliance is asking. Produce a good essay on the question and maybe you can win 1,000 British pounds. Anyone here up to the challenge?
Debating Class Conflict
An interesting discussion between Robert Higgs and Kevin Carson at C4SS. I throw in my own two cents worth as well. Read it all here.
Anarchism, Prescription, and Prediction
Good piece from Jeremy. As an anarchist, I believe that distributed systems of decision making like the market are the best ways for processing information and organizing society. Central planning doesn’t work, and my ideology seeks to better understand the way humans relate rather than making them turn […]
Karl Hess and the IRS
From Lila Rajiva’s blog. Hess really was one of the all-time greats. “I am in total opposition to any institutional power. I favor a world of neighborhoods in which all social organization is voluntary and the ways of life are established in small, consenting groups. These groups could […]
How to Identify a National-Anarchist
Here’s how. A National Anarchist in America may exhibit the following stereotypical characteristics. They will often claim to have a staunch independent streak and critical thinking skills. They are also: White Americans (not always, but at the present time 99 times out of 100 this is the case), […]
Formulating a Strategy for an Independent Tlingit Nation – Part 2:
Good stuff from our friend Raven Warrior.
Vermont's Secessionist Movement Debuts Something New: Candidates
New article on the Vermont secession movement. (Thanks, Jim)
On Counter-Infiltration of Enemy Institutions
Some thoughtful comments from David Heleniak: I don’t think “our side” should give up on trying a counter-infiltration of the key institutions taken over by the PC Left. Many lawyers, for example, are committed to civil liberties, ye olde English traditions, etc. They can be allies in someone’s […]
Carl Schmitt, Part III: The End of the Weimar Republic
Part three of the series is now up at AlternativeRight.Com
Some Points to Consider
Here are some points we need to be thinking about: -Past partisan cycles indicate that the Democratic Party will be the dominant political party for the next few decades. -Research on public opinion regarding controversial issues along with prevailing cultural, demographic, economic, and generational trends indicates that the […]
National Anarchists and Their Social Tendencies
New post at BANA’s blog from Andrew.
The New Face of Libertarianism?
This guy is fairly impressive. He’s a young guy as well, and seems much less doctrinaire that previous generations of libertarians. Yet he retains the radical flavor of libertarianism. Check out his articles here.

Andrew Yeoman on Russia Today
Watch it here. I have some very serious reservations about protesting a film, book, work of art, etc. but Andrew presents himself and makes his case quite well in this interview.
Netherlands to Close Prisons, Not Enough Criminals
Let’s bring Holland to America. For years prohibitionists, including our own Drug Enforcement Administration, have claimed — falsely — that the tolerant marijuana policies of the Netherlands have made that nation a nest of crime and drug abuse. They may have trouble wrapping their little brains around this: […]
The True Costs of the War
Paul Craig Roberts shines once again. Do Americans see the irony in the “saving Iraq from tyranny” excuse? The greatest price of the neoconservative war against Iraq is not the $3 trillion or the dead and maimed American soldiers and their broken families. The greatest price of this […]
The Economy Keeps Going Down
Some good economic analysis. Check out this article on class analysis in particular. The economic decline is going to be a permanent state of affairs. There’s not going to be any “recovery.” Look for some serious class struggle politics to emerge in the future, and look for it […]
Class War
Another home run from Scott Locklin. As an opening foray into social class as right wing concept, I offer a tentative battle plan. The job of the alternative right, as I see it, is to destroy the present upper middle class, and eventually replace it with something better. […]

Vermont Revolutionaries and the Rise of a Green Tea Party
New article by Christopher Ketcham on the Vermont secessionist movement, and in the Huffington Post, of all places. Hat tip to Jim Duncan.
Anarchists Make It Into the Christian Science Monitor
Not too bad.
Amen to the Iman
Common sense from the Southern Avenger. Rauf specifically cites “the U.S-led sanction against Iraq [that] led to the death of over half a million Iraqi children” in the 1990s, a death toll confirmed by the United Nations, approved of by former Secretary of State Madeline Albright (who said […]
Why is the Antiwar Movement Stalled?
In two words: the Left, or so says Justin Raimondo. As long as the organized antiwar movement remains a leftist sandbox, where sectarians get to pontificate – and do little else – it will stay a sideshow. Once we get beyond all that nonsense, however, there are no […]
Carl Schmitt, Part I: Weimar-State of Exception
The first installment of my four-part series on Schmitt for AltRight.

Another back to basics classic from Karl Hess.
Proudhon and Anarchism
Back to the basics. A classic from Larry Gambone.
A Paleo Theory of America's Class Structure?
Interesting articles from Scott Locklin: The Upper Class The Upper Middle Class The American Middle Class The Working Class The Lower Class
Some Home Runs from the Paleos
Living the Lie by Richard Spencer That Mehlman and Bill Clinton are my enemies has nothing to do with the fact the one prefers men and the other can’t control himself around bimbos. If a statesman instituted the kind of radical, and currently unfeasible, political change that I […]
The Essence of Totalitarian Humanism
A very interesting discussion between Paul Gottfried and Richard Spencer. Listen here. About 36 minutes into this, Gottfried describes what I would consider to be the essence of Totalitarian Humanism: A system where the state controls all resources in the name of engineering social equality and ostensibly assisting […]
