On Putting the Legal Racket Out of Business
Tonight, I had a conversation with a woman who has worked in a clerical capacity for the court system in three different jurisdictions in my state. She told me that during her time as a court employee she observed that if drug cases were eliminated from the court […]
Jonathan Bowden on Julius Evola
Interesting talk by Bowden. I’m not that big on Evola, I prefer Nietzsche, but either way this is a great discussion of religion, philosophy, and society. Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, Part 6, Part 7.
Beware Human Rights Imperialism
It’s somewhat surprising to find an article like this in a relatively mainstream publication like the Guardian. Yet it does not require that much thought to realise that people in different countries may have different views about what policies would be most appropriate for achieving economic growth or […]
Why Motorcycle Clubs Are Potential Constituents for Anarcho-Pluralism
Of all my positions on various things, one of the most controversial is my view that official outlaw organizations like motorcycle clubs and street gangs are potential constituents for the anarcho-pluralist struggle against the state. Indeed, aside from my militantly anti-totalitarian humanist outlook, this issue combined with my […]
Islam, Women, and Us
James Kalb discusses his observances concerning “gender relations” during his time as a math instructor for the Peace Corps in Afghanistan. Read it here.
Civic Engagement is for Suckers
Kevin Carson tells why. This reminds me of a conversation I had a while back with a left-liberal, Dissent-magazine type who argued that liberals should be for the draft on the grounds that the draft would result in fewer wars because people wouldn’t support war if their kids […]
Good Liberals for the Therapeutic Police State
Chris George discusses one of liberalism’s greatest hypocrisies. One thing that libertarians, anarchists, radical anti-statists, left-wing civil libertarians, and anti-authoritarians who wish to repeal prohibition laws should always remember is that this automatically puts us in conflict with the proponents of therapeutic-feminist-liberalism. The primary enemies on these issues […]

If You’re Not an Extremist, You’re Not Paying Attention
From Kevin Carson. Read the entire article. If you think the anti-government paranoids of right and left are “extremists,” it’s a safe bet you don’t know much of anything at all about the actual historical record of federal law enforcement, the content of legislation like the 1996 Counter-Terrorism […]
The New Ruling Class And Taxpayer Funded Brainwashing
by Dr. Sean Gabb One of the many annoyances of living in a country like England—and I believe this also applies to America—is that lack of effective opposition within the mainstream media to outrageous acts of the authorities. I do not mean by this that when the police […]
Understanding Carl Schmitt
My interview with Richard Spencer for AltRight Radio. Listen to the podcast.
The American Economy: It Ain't Doin' Too Good
From The Economic Collapse. Does anyone really want to hear that America is in decline? For decades, most of us have been raised to believe that the United States is “number one” and that anyone who doubts that fact is a “gloom and doomer” that should just pack […]
US Drops From First To Seventh In Average Wealth Per Adult, Behind Singapore, Sweden, And… France
From Tyler Durden. (hat tip to James O’Meara) As if we needed more warnings that the US is rapidly losing its position as the world’s superpower and wealth aggregator, is the following chart from Credit Suisse, which ranks the top 10 countries in the world in terms of […]
"They’re Inhuman and They Don’t Need to Be Loved…"
This is a great bit of commentary from ATS contributor MRDA. This is a particularly good comment: “I wonder: does Morrissey’s little outburst offer a snapshot of what could happen if the Left acknowledge that their favoured folk aren’t always as innocent, victimized and enlightened as they portray […]

Lloyd Lacy is interviewed by Andrew Yeoman. Read the interview on BANA’s blog.
Leftist Psychology: Delusions in Disguise
by Michael Parish I’ve blogged on here before about the psychological inadequacies plaguing the modern Left, but I’ve never systematically analyzed them and presented a full conclusion. So, to cop a line from Lenny Bruce, I, as a “surgeon with a scalpal for false values” will dedicate this […]
Only the Guilty Need Fear? Tell It to Anne Frank
by Kevin Carson The U.S. government’s attempt to expand the surveillance state — in this case to make it easier to wiretap the Internet — is pretty much a dog-bites-man story. A fairly typical response is: “I’m not worried. After all, I’m not doing anything wrong.” Sure. Because […]
If you really wanted to make a "better" state, it should be easy enough.
Good suggestions from Anna Morgenstern: Even within the context of welfare-state capitalism, if people were serious about reform, they could do it quite easily. But the most logical reforms are not on the table, because of ideological bullshit. The truth is, social-democrat types love the super rich and […]
The Lying Media and the War on Terror
Excellent post from Sheldon Richman. The U.S. media does need formal censorship in order to silence dissident opinion. Because it is part of the wider ruling class apparatus, the media practices self-censorship. See the evidence: Who Owns the Media? The Six Monolithic Corporations That Control Almost Everything We […]

The Left/Right Libertarian Economic Debate: Inequality-Good or Bad?
An Immoral System Can Only Be Sustained by Immorality by Kevin Carson [Keith: As a Hobbesian, Nietzschean, and Stirnerite, I reject the paradigm that posits a morality/immorality dichotomy, but that’s just nit-picking. This is good stuff.] Should We Care About Inequality? by Jason Sorens, founder of the Free […]

Indigenous Resistance: From Colombia to Palestine
Article by Anna Baltzer The gravest threat of all faced by Colombia’s indigenous population is cultural destruction and extinction. Of Colombia’s 102 indigenous tribes, 32 percent are in danger of disappearance. Eighteen tribes have fewer than two hundred persons remaining. One of the most important forms of resistance […]
The Trial of Geert Wilders: Totalitarian Humanism in Action
Read the report from the BBC. (hat tip to Brady Campbell) I’m not a fan of Wilders. His politics are basically the same as those of the neocons, e.g. Zionism, Islamophobia, and neoliberal economics. Nor do I agree with ideas like banning the Koran, minarets, headscarves, or burquas […]
Feminism/Multiculturalism Clash in New Jersey Domestic Violence Case

Diego Santillan's After the Revolution
The full text of this work is available online. As for as I know, Santillan’s book is the most comprehensive explanation of how an anarcho-syndicalist economy is supposed to work. Here’s Santillan’s biographical entry from Wikipedia.
Karl Marx: Bourgeois Con Man?
Interesting discussion of Marxism by Gary North from a Mises Institute seminar from 1988. I don’t agree with North’s religious determinism any more than I agree with Marx’s and John Stuart Mill’s economic determinism, but North’s critique of Marxism (and Marxists) is rather penetrating. This comparison of Marxist […]

Should Gays Have Equal Right to Kill for the Empire?
Great stuff from my old editor at Anti-State.Com Jeremy Sapienza. It’s too bad Jeremy’s gleefully malicious but hilarious “Grim Milestone in Iraq-159,000 Troops Remain Alive” and “Why I Hate the Troops” articles aren’t available anymore.
State Worship: The Real Theocratic Threat
Good stuff from Jack Hunter. Also, a very astute analysis of the irreversible decline of the American empire from Dilip Hiro. Those familiar with stock exchanges know that the share price of a dwindling company does not go over a cliff in a free fall. It declines, attracts new […]
"Reluctant Anarchist" Joseph Sobran Dies at 64
Read his obituary at The American Conservative. And read how a conservative Catholic writer for National Review became an anarchist.
What Is the Best Way for Measuring the Size of the State?
I recently had a conversation with a professional sociologist, a liberal who actually believes in federal bureaucracy as an ideal, and who claimed that the best way of measuring the size of government is to consider the total number of government employees and their ratio to the size […]

Bill Bishop discusses his book “The Big Sort” where he talks about the political splintering of the U.S. into liberal and conservative local communities.
The Geography of the Rural Poor
A study showing where the rural poor are located, including a breakdown along ethnic lines. Unfortunately, the authors offer no solutions other than more welfare statism. One thing I would love to see anarchists and libertarians do is wage a campaign to expose and attack laws and regulations […]
