“Let my people go.” -Moses By Barbara Bradley Hagerty The Atlantic While millions of Americans shelter in place, one group simply cannot escape the coronavirus: prisoners. Among them are hundreds of people who have plausible claims that they are innocent, whose cases were working their way through the […]
By Roge Karma Vox As of March 31, 270 million people in at least 33 states, 89 counties, and 29 cities across the US have been urged by their government officials to stay home. While these policies often come with seismic life disruptions, the vast majority of Americans […]
It’s fascinating to see an article like this in the Voice of the Deep State. By Renae Merle, Heather Long and Patricia Sullivan Washington Post After losing his job as a restaurant cook last month, Casey James began contacting his Atlanta neighbors with an idea: No one should […]
The same pattern the US Left has followed since the 1970s. A relevant observation from the comments section: “I never drank the AOC kool aid. 90% of the interest in her derives from the fact that she’s a young woman of color and she’s from NYC, which we’re […]
Dr. Mehmet Oz joins ‘Fox & Friends’ after the coronavirus task force projects upwards of 100,000 deaths from COVID-19.
President Trump’s coronavirus task force shared grim projections for the country’s future amid the coronavirus crisis, estimating that 100,000 to 240,000 Americans could die before the crisis is over. The tone of the press conference marks a stark departure from Mr. Trump’s previous media appearances, where he mostly […]
Rent strikes, labor strikes, prison strikes. It’s happening. Read all about it here.
Supposedly, Woody Guthrie wrote a song in 1950 where he lyrically attacked his then-landlord, Fred Trump (Donald Trump’s father). Supposedly, the song was discovered a few years ago, and actually recorded by some contemporary musicians like Ani DiFranco and Tom Morello. I have no idea whether this story […]
The “Who Cares? Act” is statism on steroids, ruling class looting on steroids, and political class opportunism on steroids.
Universities, along with the mass media, are what I call the “New Church,” in the sense of being institutions that are the most responsible for establishing and dissemination the ideology and values of the ruling class, and subsequently using their institutional power to inculcate ruling class ideology in […]
Like so many paleconservative types, Tucker Carlson is excellent on gun rights, but horrible on civil libertarian and anti-police state issues generally (e.g. supporting the drug war, opposing weed legalization, opposing “criminal justice reform,” opposing coronavirus-driven prisoner releases, using standard conservative cop-lover rhetoric, etc.). Coronavirus is causing a […]
An interesting discussion of Trump from November 2016, immediately after Trump’s election, that nails the essence of Trumpism fairly well, i.e. a symbolic triumph of populism against elitism where the principal division is social class. The speakers in this video are “conservative intellectuals” of the old-bourgeois variety, and […]
By Aleksa Burmazovic Asgardia is the world’s first society to be located entirely off-world: despite the impressive concept art that one encounters on the recently created (2016) startup society’s website, its properties in low-earth orbit currently consist of a single breadbox-sized satellite – ASGARDIA-1. “Cloud storage” isn’t quite […]
Submit! to Geoffrey Miller & Justin Murphy talking about the book ‘Bronze Age Mindset’ by Bronze Age Pervert. It’s a wide-ranging conversation that sparked a lot of new ideas for us. Topics include freedom, power, sex, space, submission, domination, hierarchy, religion, glory, Mannerbund, Indo-Europeans, evolutionary psychology, social media, […]
By Jidy Chitta Startup Societies Foundation As the startup societies movement has matured a few core tenets have emerged to explain the value of creating startup societies to the broader world. The concept of competitive governance is one of those tenets. In a nutshell, the theory of competitive […]
By Pedro Dias Startup Societies Foundation In 1860, the Belgian economist and botanist Paul Emile de Puydt published the essay Panarchy, originally in French¹, in the periodical Revue Trimestrielle, in which he outlined a political system in which everyone would have the right to choose under which form […]
By Sam Dolfgoff (1986) The revival of interest in anarchism has recently produced works on the ideology and history of the libertarian movement. By far, most modern writers confirm popular misconceptions about how the anarchists view the relationships of society to the state, of individual freedom and local […]
By Murray Bookchin (1974) Panarchy.Org The city has completed its historic evolution. Its dialectic from the village, temple area, fortress or administrative center, each dominated by agrarian interests, to the polis and medieval commune during an era when town and country were in some kind of equilibrium, to […]
“One of the best ways to thank essential workers is to support the fight to improve their lives.” (By: Julia Conley, Common Dreams) Labor rights advocates on Monday urged the public to show support and solidarity with Amazon employees who walked off the job at a Staten Island […]
By Mike Gleason, Money Metals Exchange The roller coaster ride in markets took a sharp turn higher this week after the Federal Reserve and Congress together pledged over 6 trillion dollars to rescue the financial system. Perhaps this week was an inflection point for the mass fear and […]
A contemporary scholarly masterpiece that completely debunks the state. Available at Amazon. Why did humans abandon hunting and gathering for sedentary communities dependent on livestock and cereal grains, and governed by precursors of today’s states? Most people believe that plant and animal domestication allowed humans, finally, to settle […]
Lawrence Dennis’s much neglected and long-forgotten masterpiece from 1969. Available from Amazon. “Operational Thinking for Survival” is Lawrence Dennis’s 1969 follow up book to his 1940 book “The Dynamics of War and Revolution”. It would be worth the while of the modern reader of either book to read […]
Given that the “Who CARES? Act” is the Burgfriendenspolitik of the modern US economy, Alexander Berkman’s characterization of social democrats from 1929 has relevance. The present ruling class action is a mere looting spree and mass theft, as opposed to outright mass murder as was the case in […]
It looks like the “progressive” media and the “progressive” politicians are having a falling out. Excellent.
Dr. Jay Bhattacharya is a professor of medicine at Stanford University. He is a research associate at the National Bureau of Economic Research and a senior fellow at both the Stanford Institute for Economic Policy Research and the Stanford Freeman Spogli Institute. His March 24, 2020, article in […]
What Thorstein Veblen called “conspicuous consumption.”
This year’s election is going to be even more hilarious than 2016,
1914 all over again. Never trust a social democrat. Fuck voting. Fuck reformism. Real radicalism is about overthrowing states, ruling classes, and empires.
Yes! It’s actually happening. Krystal Ball discusses the lack of safety, unsanitary conditions, and absent paid leave the working class is facing at companies like Amazon and Whole Foods.
Kulinski comes through on the ruling class looting spree as well. Fortunately, I’ve never been anything but an anarchist, so I never had to go through the process of being “disillusioned” with politicians. I’ve always merely expected the worst and have never been disappointed.
The one man who had the balls to stand up to the ruling class looting spree. Meanwhile, the Social Democratic parliamentary deputies one again vote to give the Kaiser war credits. Jimmie smashes the hell out of “progressives” in this and calls for a rent strike, mortgage strike, […]
Uh, no, Mr. Tobin. Let’s have a coronavirus jailbreak. Jonathan Tobin New York Post No, we shouldn’t release prisoners en masse The coronavirus has hit all New Yorkers hard, but among the places where the contagion is presenting an especially acute problem are the jails. With confined spaces […]
The silver linings keep on coming. The question is: How do we make this permanent? By Adela Suliman, Andy Eckardt and Gabe Joselow NBC News As the coronavirus pandemic sweeps the globe, some countries are freeing prisoners to stem the spread of the virus in crowded jails or […]
“Houses Dems” are finally doing what they should have been doing decades ago? By Tyler Olson FOX News Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee sent a letter Monday to Attorney General Bill Barr asking him to “release as many prisoners as possible” as federal prisons work to deal […]
By Timothy Williams, Benjamin Weiser and William K. Rashbaum Some jails are releasing people to stem outbreaks, but critics say it is not happening quickly enough to save lives and resources. The coronavirus is spreading quickly in America’s jails and prisons, where social distancing is impossible and sanitizer […]
A headline I never thought I would see in the Voice of the Ruling Class. By Mary Bassett, Eric Gonzalez and Darren Walker Dr. Bassett was the New York City health commissioner. Mr. Gonzalez is the district attorney of Brooklyn. Mr. Walker is the president of the Ford […]
In my view, the only valid argument against the anarchist position is the one David Friedman called “the hard problem,” i.e. the question of whether a stateless territory could potentially defend itself against external invasions by states. All the other arguments are merely special pleading on behalf of […]
A reasonably decent article from Politico explaining what a joke the “stimulus” actually is. Basically, corporate welfare plus. Republicans and conventional conservatives have made much fun of the various “special interest” provisions that got tacked on to the bill. However, as usual, they fail to recognize that corporations, […]
The neoliberals’ leading pundit once again makes an ass of himself.
I don’t particularly care for the Berniebros at TMBS, though I agree with much of what they’re saying in this as far as “solutions” to the present situation. Refuse back to work orders, debt strikes, demand reparations, form mutual aid societies, etc.
A good documentary on Nietzsche. The primary weakness that is demonstrated by most anarchists and leftists is their failure to confront Nietzsche’s critique of modern liberal-humanism generally and leftism specifically as forms of secularized theocratic neo-Abrahamism, which is why we find so much zeal among leftists for rooting […]
A paleoconservative commentator explains why Trumpism represents an insurgency by the old bourgeoisie and its allies against the managerial elite. I frequently find the work of reactionaries and traditional conservatives interesting because they offer many cogent critiques of the contemporary ruling class, given that their vantage point is […]
By Lois Parshley Vox Rural communities “tend to be older, with more chronic illness,” making people more at risk of severe Covid-19. FAIRBANKS, Alaska — Early this week, Kodiak Island, part of an archipelago in southwest Alaska, issued a “hunker down” proclamation, asking residents to stay at home […]
