Fuck some make-work “federal jobs program.” What we need is a debt jubilee. Economist, Pavlina Tcherneva, weighs in on the CARES Act and what lawmakers need to do to help strengthen the U.S. economy.
Journalist, Zaid Jilani, gives his take on ‘corporate wokeness’ and how to keep it from destroying America.
Who is going to be the Bidenists frontwoman? Krystal Ball weighs in on the finalists for Joe Biden’s Vice Presidential nominee and why it shouldn’t be Sen. Kamala Harris.
The solution is simple: “Dear government, ruling class, power elite, banksters, and others whom it may concern…We want a complete moratorium if not a jubilee on rents, mortgages, car payments, credit cards, student loans, utility bills, and medical bills. We want it now. Please deliver immediately. Or we’ll […]
By Dwight Stirling The Conversation Many U.S. military members publicly disavowed President Trump’s decision to pardon Edward Gallagher, the former SEAL commando convicted of killing a teenage detainee in Iraq in 2017. Gallagher’s alleged war crimes were nearly universally condemned up the chain of command, from enlisted men […]
Ten years ago, I identified what I considered to be the “ten core demographics” that proponents of the ideas we discuss here at ATS will have to reach in order to eventually find the Holy Grail. The original piece is available here. It is interesting to evaluate the […]
This interview contains my general take on the great lumpenproletarian cultural revolution of 2020 from a Howard Cosell perspective.
On this day, 2 August 1944, around 4000 Roma people in the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp resisted being taken to the gas chambers. The SS swarmed into the Roma camp, but prisoners had armed themselves with sticks and crowbars, and barricaded themselves indoors, fighting the Nazis with hands and […]
Trump is a dickhead, but he’s too lazy and incompetent to be an actual strong man dictator. Trump is not a “man of action.” He is a man of talk who doesn’t know how to back it up. I don’t really see him being a Putin or Erdogan, […]
By Ilena Peng Narratively Two crosses burned in Robeson County, North Carolina, on January 13, 1958. One was outside the home of a Native American woman who was dating a white man, the other outside the home of a Native family who had moved into one of Lumberton’s […]
By Nicky Reid aka Comrade Hermit Exile in Happy Valley Well folks, it’s official, Donald Trump has declared war on America. Probably should have saw that coming. After all, I’ve long argued that our dayglow duce isn’t an isolationist but merely the world’s shittiest imperialist. After trying and […]
The Neocon Review attacks Biden’s embrace of totalitarian humanism. Many of them are probably secretly hoping Biden will get elected, and worry that Biden will push centrist voters to the right with this stuff. Ever since the Trump era began, the neocons have been divided between those who […]
When Trump was running for prez in 2016, I thought that he was instinctively and certainly rhetorically to the “left” of both the normal Republicans (neocons and supply-siders) and the “centrist” Democrats (neoliberals) on a wide range of issues, particularly foreign policy, trade, and criminal justice reform, although […]
It’s interesting how the potlatch or the Jewish concept of jubilee are forms of what FOX News fans would probably denounce as “socialism” that are largely cultural rather than political in nature. By Troy Southgate Some of you may have heard of the potlatch system, an economic practice […]
One of the most interesting things about totalitarian humanism is the way that it bypasses traditional methods of censorship imposed by State and Church, and merely farms it out to corporations (the economic arms fo the state), the media (the televangelism of totalitarian humanism), and the universities (the […]
And Trump’s critics actually thought he wouldn’t “act presidential.” Wasting time on the golf course while everything falls apart is what presidents are for. The Guardian Donald Trump prompted a familiar barrage of criticism on Saturday by visiting one of his own golf clubs as the country remains […]
Now, if these sheriffs would start rebelling against a whole lot more laws, we might have something. By Jason Wilson The Guardian Sheriffs around the country are refusing to enforce or are even actively resisting Covid-19 mask laws and lockdowns, while others have permitted or encouraged armed vigilantism […]
Arch-militarist, arch-police statist, arch-imperialist, arch-Zionist, arch-corporatist Tom Cotton needs to go. If you live in Arkansas and believe in voting, vote this dude. By Zuri Davis Reason Sen. Tom Cotton’s Democratic challenger, Josh Mahony, dropped out of the U.S. Senate race just hours after the filing deadline closed. […]
Authentic anti-police statism means opposing police at every level and within every institutional sector, including federal, state, local, tribal, military, university, or private. By Melissa Gira Grant The New Republic Painful images are still coming out of Portland—law enforcement wielding exterminator-like sprayers of tear gas, firing “less-lethal” munitions […]
A little bit of heresy for the day.
This guy Vaush seems to epitomize what I call an “anarcho-social democrat” or “anarcho-Democrat,” an “anarchist” who enthusiastically promotes Bernie Sanders and endorses Biden on “lesser evilism” grounds while claiming everyone on the center-right is a “fascist.”
The economic future: Living in cubicles in Internet cafes while working remotely.
In the future, places like this will start to appear in the US as housing becomes more and more unaffordable. And the first thing that will happen is the bourgie sectors will try to use zoning laws and building codes to repress them.
Donald Trump: SJW of the Right.
There already has been. Trumpism from the mainstream (although that’s not why he was elected, his faux populism is why he is prez) and the Alt-Right on the margins. The comments thread for this is interesting. Whenever I mention the idea of peaceful separation, the response I usually […]
By Alicia Victoria Lozano and Maura Barrett and David Douglas The Associated Press Thousands of peaceful protesters marched in the streets of downtown Portland this week, much as they have for the last 60 days, marching, chanting familiar slogans like “Black lives matter” and “defend Black lives.”Conspicuously missing […]
An old article from the 1980s describing Libya’s economic system. There were many problems with Qaddafi, but the reason he was so hated by the Western imperialists is that he expelled Western petroleum interests from the country and created the wealthiest nation on the African continent. The Western […]
This video makes many valid points, and the speaker’s own YouTube channel has a lot of very good stuff. But it is a grave error to abandon either the SJW/Antifa Left (supposed ) far-left or the (supposed center-left) Democratic Party (“walk away”) only to embrace the Republicans, Trumpism, […]
There has been a number of incidents of this kind from different sides. A black Trump supporter was murdered. Someone was shot for saying “all lives matter.” A libertarian pro-BLM protestor was shot and killed in Dallas. Protestors have been attacked by people trying to run them down […]
An interesting libertarian/ancap vs Marxist debate. I tend to lend more toward the idea that concentrated economic power is the primary problem rather than wage labor per se and that the relationship between the state and economic elites (the “power elite”) is what makes massive concentrations of economic […]
Whatever one thinks of “nationalism” on an abstract level, the idea of local sovereignty, voluntary associations, intentional communities, eco-villages, startup societies, free cities, and micronations is a preferable alternative to both conventional statism (whether capitalist, communist, or fascist) and the impossible concept of “world domination anarchism.” Take that, […]
Trump clearly has no understanding of fourth-generation warfare theory, guerrilla warfare theory, or counterinsurgency theory. A basic rule of fourth-generation warfare is that you never let your opponents gain the perceived moral upper hand. Having black-suited stormtroopers shooting at middle-aged women, journalists, old men, and military veterans is […]
It’s hilarious how the “At least Dementia Man isn’t Orange Man” strategy actually seems to be working for the Democraps, at least on the surface.
The upcoming election is going to be a shitshow. In a highly polarized society, elections are by nature going to be contentious anyway, with different sides (probably correctly) accusing the others of cheating. The chaos caused by the pandemic will exacerbate the situation.
Krystal and Saagar share their thoughts on new documents revealing the names of powerful people who allegedly visited Jeffrey Epstein’s private island.
The ruling class continues with its “Let them eat cake!” attitude. Are the guillotines on the way?
By Britanny Berstein National Review Ammon Bundy, an anti-government activist who lead the 41-day armed takeover of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge back in 2016, expressed support for the Black Lives Matter movement and for defunding the police in a recent Facebook video. He said in the video […]
James Clark Task and Purpose A group of military veterans have bolstered the ranks of protesters in Portland, Oregon by creating a “Wall of Vets.” The demonstrators told New York Times’ Mike Baker that they were there to ensure federal law enforcement officers didn’t infringe on the rights […]
The US is #9 on this list. Unbelievably, I am constantly coming across “libertarians” who think this doesn’t matter. Read some Aristotle or Tocqueville, folks. By Grant Suneson and Samuel Stebbins USA Today In American politics, the issue of income inequality comes up frequently. As wealth continues to […]
Notice how the USA is starting to resemble Latin America and South Africa in terms of class divisions. World Economic Forum Global leaders will meet at the Annual Meeting in Davos this week to discuss how to improve the state of the world and address its most pressing […]
By Kristine Phillips USA Today WASHINGTON – The Justice Department plans to send nearly 100 federal agents and officers to Detroit, Cleveland, Ohio, and Milwaukee in an expansion of Operation Legend, a federal crime initiative that began earlier this month. The department will send 42 agents to Detroit […]
Some on the left have complained about the “libertarian to alt-right pipeline” issue, where former libertarians and ancaps have embraced one or another version of the alt-right. During the Ron Paul era, there was an influx of a lot of people, particularly younger people, into the libertarian milieu. […]
The ruling class continues to dig its own grave.
The Democraps obvious strategy is obviously to bring the neocons and Never Trumpers into their coalition, along with Wall Street and woke soccer moms while marginalizing whatever minuscule economic left, libertarian, or anti-imperialist sectors they have among their party.
Great Depression Two is here and the ruling class doesn’t give a damn. Krystal and Saagar react to news that the U.S. GDP fell 9.5% and 1.43 million Americans filed new state unemployment claims.
Duh?
Progressives are such a collection of sad sacks…kind of like the Trumpists. The neoliberal strategy of co-opting the center-left while repressing the far-left is becoming clearer. Krystal and Saagar give their thoughts on an grassroots organization, Settle for Biden, created by former Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders […]
Here it comes. Co-opt with the left-hand, repress with the right-hand. In the future, look for the “far-left” to be increasingly labeled as “far-right” (they already do this in some instances). By Zachary Stieber The Epoch Times People who commit arson should be prosecuted but peaceful protesters should […]
Sovereign Counties is a new project that has given its endorsement to Attack the System. The Foundation for Intentional Community is an interesting group as well, and seems to be a domestic parallel to the Startup Societies Foundation. Also, see my essay “The Case for the City-State System.” […]
