On the political spectrum, populism is to the left of neoliberalism, and social democracy is to the left of populism, which makes the Democratic establishment the “new conservatives,” with the Trumpians being to the left of them, and the Bernie, etc. progressives/social democrats being to the left of […]
As I predicted in 2016, Trump has moved the Republicans to the left of the neoliberals.
Are we moving into a WW1/WW2 situation? “National unity” during a time of crisis with an expansion of the welfare/warfare state?
The Democratic primaries have reaffirmed my longstanding conviction that electoral politics is a joke and a waste of time. The Democrats had literally dozens of candidates, including some fairly interesting ones (Tusli, Bernie, Yang, Williamson, Ojeda, Gravel) and who gets the nomination? Some dude with dementia who has […]
Krystal Ball thinks so.
The 2020 electoral season will be as lame as the 2016 season, with the addition of coronavirus. If you feel you must vote, vote Libertarian or Green.
The Coronavirus crisis is a pretext for a major power grab by governments and corporations. An interesting analysis from Crimethinc. Read it here.
Is Trump going mutualist? By Brett Samuels and Sylvan Lane The Hill President Trump on Wednesday directed the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to suspend evictions and foreclosures through April as Americans grapple with the fallout of the coronavirus. “The Department of Housing and Urban Development […]
Todd Lewis is joined by Derrick Jensen from the Deep Green Resistance; Keith Preston from Attack the System to discuss the important of reaching across the aisle to communicate with people in camps you don’t agree with and why that is so important and at the same time […]
The populist insurgency that I have been predicting for 20 years is finally brewing. Read these two articles (here and here) I wrote back in the early 2000s and compare them with what is going on today. Some of the fringe stuff I was discussing back then is […]
A growing split between the social democrats and SJWs?
As well they should. It’s time to demand amnesty for all prisoners except those convicted of serious violent felonies.
Coronavirus is having the interesting effect of turning liberals into immigration restrictionists and turning conservatives into social democrats.
For decades, I have thought that as the Republicans’ demographic base continues to shrink, and as the WASP working to middle classes continued to decline socioeconomically, that the GOP would reinvent itself (at least rhetorically) as a right-wing populist party (which would mean moving to the left of […]
By Kelley Beaucar Vhalos The American Conservative s the number of coronavirus infections topped 3,100 in the U.S. as of Sunday afternoon, including 63 deaths, major cities appear to be considering lock-downs as we have seen in Europe—everything shut down by the government—including borders—except for essential grocery stores […]
Left-populists (Sandernistas) tend to be young, while neoliberals (Bidenists) and right-populists (Trumpians) tend to be old.
By Nicky Reid aka Comrade Hermit Exile in Happy Valley Well, it only took a million years but peace has finally come to Afghanistan, sort of. Or at least so it appears. I’m not one of those hyperventilating liberal opportunists, bursting at the seems to piss on any […]
Todd Lewis joined by Keith Preston, Right Ruminations and Swithun Dobson to discuss why unlikely bedfellows arise in modern politics.
By JP Cortez Sound Money Defense League Well, here’s some encouraging news. Efforts in Washington State to impose sales tax on gold and silver were SHUT DOWN today thanks to intense efforts by the Sound Money Defense League, a group of in-state coin dealers led by Dan Duncan, […]
Bless her heart. She tried.
The Left’s attempted assault on neoliberalism has completely failed. Now, it’s just a matter of “Anybody But Trump” and “Vote Blue, No Matter Who.” Because that’s worked so well before. Andrew Yang has endorsed Joe Biden, becoming the latest former 2020 Democratic presidential candidate to throw their support […]
What happens when you apply a Marxist ideology critique to Marxism itself? You learn a lot about the blind spots in Marxism and it turns out to reveal important insights for a realist political science of the contemporary world. Michael McConkey discusses the theory of a new intellectual/manager […]
What a lame joke this electoral season is turning out to be (as if any other outcome were possible). We don’t need a “third party.” We’ve got plenty of them already (Libertarians, Greens, etc). Pan-anarchism IS the third party.
Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders may be socialist bomb-thrower who praises Fidel Castro, but it’s mostly talk.
No tribe left behind. By Amber Roberts VICE Otherkin are people who identify as partially or entirely nonhuman. A dragon, a lion, a fox—you name it—there is probably someone out there who feels like they are more these things than they are human. The otherkin community can be […]
By Nicky Reid aka Comrade Hermit Exile in Happy Valley With the 2020 election heating up, there is a stiff wind methodically weaving through this fierce desert of geriatric combat, something evil and relentless, sending haunted tumbleweeds rocking back and forth over fractured highways. No, I’m not talking […]
Lizzie the Scamster is a conniving bitch. Who would have thought? Now that the DNC puppets like Buttigieg, Klobuchar, O’Rourke, etc have given their support to Sleepy Joe, one way Sanders could counter that would be to offer the VP position to Lizzie, the Sec of State position […]
