A while back someone asked me what one single wedge issue policy proposal might be that would have the effect of advancing class struggle. The answer to that is astoundingly simple and obvious. If you want to ignite a real class-war, then start agitating for the abolition of […]
Carlson seems to have abandoned whatever populism he ever had in favor of culture war hysteria since the uprising. Centrist Democrats ARE the suburbs, at least in the larger metro areas.
A somewhat interesting interview with a veteran anarcho-communist. By Kent Worchester Anarchist Studies Introduction Wayne Price is a longtime anti-authoritarian political activist. He was drawn toward pacifism and anarchism as a teenager in the 1950s, and he participated in the anti-Vietnam War movement during the 1960s and early […]
From the Anarcho-Synergy Ball project: Anarcho synergism is a synergistic union of market economies and gift economies via mutual respect for freedom of association. More specifically, how anarcho-synergism works is by using a system of labor unions, competitive consumer unions, and communes to create as much competition in […]
These are interesting and somewhat bizarre results from a CNN poll that was taken five years ago. “The Great Awokening of 2006 (overly) simplified into one graph. Note the close (if not absolute) correlation with the economic crisis. Leftoid-Whitey becomes histrionic; most others don’t care.” -Bellamy Fitzpatrick […]
This is an unfortunate illustration of why the outbreak of statuephobia was a tactical error. It had the effect of provoking an expanded police state response from the feds who have since murdered a protestor in Portland. Additionally, it is likely to push the cultural right (which has […]
On the urban vs. rural divided throughout the West. By Roberto Stefan Foa and Jonathan Wilmot Foreign Policy In 2014, the Hill newspaper rated Minnesota the second-most-liberal U.S. state. For decades, Minnesotans had reliably supported Democrats in the House, in the Senate, and for the presidency—in Ronald Reagan’s […]
The main question I have about this is about the degree to which these numbers are fake. It makes sense that Trump would be trailing because of the pandemic, depression, uprising, and because Trump is Trump. But power elite opinion is overwhelmingly pro-Biden so who knows how accurate […]
People will put up with a lot, but when there is no more food and shelter, the shit is going to hit the fan. These are “Third World” economic conditions. A class sector without housing or jobs is not a proletariat, it is a lumpenproletariat. A society with […]
Bidenism will be about marginalizing the Trumpists, co-opting the Left, and strengthening repression, while consolidating the position of the neoliberal/neoconservative ruling class. Styx greatly underestimates how serious the economic situation is. He’s listening to too much ruling class propaganda about how well the stock market is doing.
Excellent. Conflicts between the states and the feds are always welcome.
Chris Cuomo interviews the pink-shirted rifle guy. What is most interesting is to compare this interview with Cuomo with the Carlson interview and observe how Red Tribe and Blue Tribe really do live in two different realities and regard each other as existential enemies. An authentic anti-state, anti-ruling […]
Carlson has another interview with the “Straight Outta Applebee’s” guy. If the revolutionary “far-left” was tactically shrewd, they would come out in opposition to any arrest or legal prosecution of this guy on “we’re against the pigs no matter who they come after” grounds, or “we’re for the […]
One of the most interesting aspects of the present state-induced depression is that in addition to the fact that 1 in 3 ordinary Americans are now half an inch away from homelessness, even medium level-sectors of the capitalist class are collapsing as well while the upper strata of […]
Some folks have to learn the hard way, I guess. Perhaps police departments should realize eliminating applicants for having too high an IQ wasn’t a good plan. By Michael Rubinkam Associated Press ALLENTOWN, Pa. — Activists against police brutality expressed outrage and demanded accountability Monday after video emerged […]
It would be tactically advantageous for leaders and organizations within the protest movement to openly memorialize cops who experience “line of duty” deaths in situations like this. Whether such sentiments would be sincere or not is beside the point. Psywar is crucial in the advancement of fourth-generation warfare […]
When things like this happen, opinion leaders among BLM need to immediately denounce such incidents and characterize responsible parties as rogue elements that are unrepresentative of the movement. At least that would be the smart way to do it. Incidents like this will escalate fourth-generation warfare among tribes. […]
Smart tacticians from the Left could exploit this issue to fuel hostility to the feds among liberal and left opinion, and in a way that also wins sympathy from the anti-establishment Right who see the feds as the folks who are going to take their guns and massacre […]
This article, by no less than leading fourth-generation warfare theorist and paleoconservative strategist Bill Lind, is a perfect example of why I have been telling the Left that making every problem into a cultural/racial/tribal civil war is a remarkably bad idea. Some people on the cultural right are […]
Journalist Zaid Jilani gives his take on the growing backlash over a letter defending free speech. Published in Harper’s Magazine, the document was signed by more than 150 writers, journalists, academics and artists.
Todd Lewis is joined by Right Ruminations, Keith Preston, and Swithun Dobson to discuss the decline of the alt-right.
It will be hilarious if a literal dementia/early-stage Alzheimer’s patient wins the presidency by a landslide.
The right-wing of the ruling class is fracturing. The neoliberal/neocon right clearly wants to purge the Trumpist insurgency within their own class.
By Nicky Reid aka Comrade Hermit Exile in Happy Valley It was the kind of story that always seems to fly just beneath the radar. You probably missed it. I nearly did. Somewhere between the Pride parades and the Fourth of July, while the country was busy hyperventilating […]
By Scotty Hendricks Big Think When most people hear the word “anarchy”, they think of chaos. It brings to mind images of gangs fighting in the streets, looting and rioting, without a police force to help end the madness. It can be hard to grasp why anybody would […]
And there is still six more months to go! By James West Davidson History never ends. But history textbooks must. As deadlines for new editions loom, every textbook writer lurches to a sudden stop. The last chapter always ends in uncertainty: unfinished and unresolved. I’ve experienced this many […]
If the predicted future scenario outlined in this article is correct, and I suspect it probably is, the Democrats will be the dominant party in the future, with its leadership being a neoliberal/neoconservative pro-ruling class coalition. The Republicans will be a token Tucker Carlsonized right-wing opposition party, mostly […]
During the 1990s and 2000s, I was involved in local activism at the municipal level around a range of issues, mostly pertaining to housing, zoning, business development and licensing, policing, etc. What I found is that bourgie, professional class, predominantly white liberals (plus some affluent minorities) essentially wanted […]
Wayne Price, a veteran anarcho-communist, has made the following observation about the ideas of the classical anarchist Errico Malatesta: “Italian anarchist Errico Malatesta (comrade of Bakunin and Kropotkin)…wrote that he did not expect a post-revolutionary period to be simply dominated by anarchist-communists (he preferred to call himself an […]
The Atlantic is a new clerisy publication so any of its coverage of the “far-right” (or “extremists” generally) has to be taken with a grain of salt. But what seems to be the most interesting about the “boogaloo” movement is its diversity, which apparently includes libertarians, Communists, white […]
From the text of the 1976 Constitution of Enver Hoxha’s Albania. Sound familiar? Article 53 Citizens enjoy the freedom of speech, the press, organization, association, assembly and public manifestation. The state guarantees the realization of these freedoms, it creates the conditions for them, and makes available the necessary […]
Whatever happened to the good old days of deaths from drug overdoses and alcohol poisoning at parties? How far we have fallen. By Eddy Rodriquez Newsweek A person in their 30s died in south Texas after attending a “COVID party,” thinking it was a hoax, according to a […]
Every single idea listed below is a good one. Enemies of the state should be doing outreach to EVERYONE, no matter how seemingly incorrigible from an anti-authoritarian perspective. Most people are a mixture of authoritarian and anti-authoritarian ideas, including some who are extreme paradoxes. “Go ye into all […]
It’s possible to answer “yes” to every question listed below while still recognizing the dangers of censorship imposed by governments, oligarchical corporations, media organizations that comprise the new clerisy, totalitarian left-wing (or right-wing) ideologies, or mob violence. From a social media post:
Crimethinc The cop-free zone is not the particular block or traffic circle or park. It is the shared commitment to defending a space and eliminating the dynamics of policing and white supremacy. In the following collection, we explore some people’s experiences attempting to create police-free autonomous zones in […]
Nukes have made inter-state war cost prohibitive which opens the door for the fourth-generation forces. By William S. Lind Traditional Right Several weeks ago, the world got a glimpse of what future war will look like among Great Powers. The weapons were rocks and clubs. Indian and Chinese […]
By Derecka Purnell The Atlantic We called 911 for almost everything except snitching. Nosebleeds, gunshot wounds, asthma attacks, allergic reactions. Police accompanied the paramedics. Our neighborhood made us sick. A Praxair industrial gas-storage facility was at one end of my block. A junkyard with exposed military airplane and […]
I would suggest that a true “Blue Lives Matter” approach would be the same as a true “Support the Troops” approach. “Support the Troops…Bring Them Home.” “Blue Lives Matter…Call Them Off.”
On the surface-level at least, this seems like a major victory for native rights and may actually be, even if the overarching presence of the federal regime remains. If the lumpenproletariat (the most oppressed social class) is the class vanguard in the struggle against the state, Native American […]
The strategy of the dominant factions of the power elite for dealing with the present crises is overwhelmingly clear. They are trying to advance a faux “liberal populism” that they hope will attract not only the “vote blue no matter who” crowd, but enough of the “exhausted majority” […]
Who cares? Trump is obviously a narcissistic lunatic, but so-called “health experts” (white coat priesthood) have shown themselves to be a partisan/ideologically-driven liars as well: “Don’t wear masks but wear masks and don’t go to funerals but go to protests.” ABC News As President Donald Trump threatens to cut funding to […]
I, Keith Preston, officially endorse Kanye West for President of the United States on the sole condition that he selects his wife as his running mate. Now, THAT would be a representative government as the Founding Fathers intended. By Marty Johnson The Hill President Trump on Saturday expressed […]
It’s a rare occasion when I agree with Mike Pence, but sometimes it snows in April. By Tal Axelrod The Hill Vice President Pence said the decision to remove Confederate statues should be made at the local level, and panned protesters who have dismantled the monuments themselves. In […]
This case is going to be a major culture war focus. Anyone who wants to know what’s going on politically right now needs to read Carl Schmitt’s “The Concept of the Political” and “The Crisis of Parliamentary Democracy,” which were written in the 1920s as the Weimar Republic […]
I don’t really agree with Tuccille’s claim that “Libertarians and others who haven’t turned life into a political package deal may need to serve as translators and peacemakers for countrymen who have lost the ability to talk to one another.” As a platonic ideal that may be true, […]
The best hope for the future of freedom worldwide is the fracturing of the global capitalist empire in which the USA ruling class is a senior into a smorgasbord of regional powers and micronations. The best hope for the future of freedom in the USA is for the […]
This article needs to be spread far and wide. Although I would distinguish between the actual lumpenproletarian and mostly non-ideological insurgents and the middle-class Maoist cosplayers. By Matt Taibbi It’s the Fourth of July, and revolution is in the air. Only in America would it look like this: […]
