Why the Kurds Must Have Independence
By Tim Black Spiked Online And so, once again, it looks as if regional and international powers are set on betraying the Kurds. It’s a familiar narrative. Think back to the Treaty of Sevres in 1920, for example. Then, in the aftermath of the First World War, the […]
Words That Lie: The New Soviets
By William S. Lind Traditional Right All ideologies take certain words that have commonly understood definitions and give them new code word definitions with different meanings for those in the know.

Nazism and Fascism Are Dead
By William S. Lind Traditional Right On both sides of the political spectrum the words “Nazi” and “Fascist” have come in common use. I have bad news for both the nuts carrying swastika flags and the thugs known as the “Antifa” (for the “Anti-fascists”): Nazism and Fascism are […]
Moore’s win conjures 2018 nightmare — for both parties
Here’s the money quote: “Unlike the tea party candidates of 2010 and 2012, these candidates and potential candidates are not united by any coherent ideological vision.

Reflections on Class Relations in State-Capitalist Liberal-Democracies

Trump supporters just doxxed thousands of anti-racist protesters as part of a disturbing harassment campaign
More of the usual nonsense.

The Largest Military Machine in History

Given the recent exchange on anti-Semitism between anarcho-communist Wayne Price, national-anarchist Sean Jobst and myself, this article from Unz Review and the article from Telos posted adjacently offer two diametrically opposed perspectives on US-Israel relations, Zionism, Jewish power and anti-Semitism.

More signs point to Mark Zuckerberg possibly running for president in 2020

The Establishment Center is the Real Enemy
Some interesting comments from Lorenzo Komboa Ervin posted below. I would agree with much of his analysis, except to say that Trump is not a fascist. He’s more like the Republicans we had back in the 70s like Nixon and Nelson Rockefeller (which is bad enough). It’s possible […]

Maybe Abolishing America’s Police Forces Isn’t as Crazy as It Sounds
The Underground Reporter Are police necessary?
