It’s imperialism, stupid!
Finally, a leftist who gets it. Although I do think the ATS perspective is superior to Trumpism. Aidan O’Brien Counterpunch Have we reached the endgame of Western democracy? When we heard Chomsky, a week or two ago on Democracy Now, saying that if pushed he’d vote for Clinton, […]
Bill Kristol Plots a Neocon Coup
My guess is that Kristol is hoping for one of two outcomes with this. Either his candidate will throw the election to Hillary and his own neocon camp will defect to her side and try to puppet master her. Some neocons like the Kagans and Max Boot are […]
The Donald Trump dove myth: why he’s actually a bigger hawk than Hillary Clinton
By Zach Beauchamp Vox.Com Hillary Clinton is, without a doubt, a hawkish Democrat. She has been consistently to the interventionist right of the party mainstream on issues like the Iraq War, the Afghanistan surge, and arming the Syrian rebels. Donald Trump, by contrast, has criticized the Iraq War […]
Mussolini or Nixon? Don’t Bother Voting. Prepare to Resist
A good critique of the presidential race by a left-anarchist. The Trump-Mussolini comparison is standard leftist hyperbole (see today’s other post). Trump is probably more comparable to a figure like Nelson Rockefeller, although comparing Hillary to Nixon is reasonably accurate as is a comparison of Obama and Nixon. […]
I Know Fascists; Donald Trump Is No Fascist
An Italian leftist who actually battled fascists in Italy in the 70s debunks the Trump/Mussolini comparison. In looking for past figures from U.S. politics to which to compare Trump, one I keep coming back to is Nelson Rockefeller, also a billionaire moderate to liberal Republican statist-authoritarian known for […]
Autopsy on a Lost Referendum
By Sean Gabb Libertarian Alliance Though we have nearly four weeks yet of campaigning, I find it hard to believe that the European Referendum will end in other than a crushing defeat for the Leave Campaign. For many on our side, this will be the end of their […]
How Anti-White Rhetoric Is Fueling White Nationalism
The money quote: “Put simply, our anti-racism efforts must be refocused away from guilt and confession and towards equality and eradicating irrational judgments based on race. Some on the Left will object, saying that racism is so systemic in society it must be purged before anyone can pretend […]
Radio Wehrwolf: Keith Preston
On tonight’s edition of Radio Wehrwolf we invite Keith Preston from Attack the System to talk about his new book, The Tyranny of the Politically Correct: Totalitarianism in the Postmodern Age. We discuss the origins of PC, the totalitarianism of the SJWs, the states use of force to […]
U.S. Holds the World Record of Killings of Innocent Civilians
By Prof. John McMurtry and Kourosh Ziabari First published by Global Research in July 2015 A world-renowned Canadian philosopher argues that the United States holds the world record of illegal killings of unarmed civilians and extrajudicial detention and torturing of prisoners who are detained without trial. Prof. John […]
Keith Preston: Apology to Japan would mean US admits past crimes
Press TV. Listen here. Preston says “there is no evidence that it was necessary for the United States to” use those weapons against Japan. The United States will not apologize to Japan over its 1945 atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki because such an apology would mean an […]

Libertarian Transgender Speaks Out On Liberal Persecution

What’s the Point of the Libertarian Party?
By Chris Shaw The concept of a libertarian party should be simple. A collection of multiple strands of libertarian and anarchist ideologues, thinkers and activists coming together to present multiple alternatives to the current statist world. Simple, right? Not so for the modern Libertarian Party of America. It […]
The Emerging Clinton/Neocon Alliance on Foreign Policy
As I have previously said, Hillary is now the most right-wing candidate on foreign policy and trade, with Trump in the center, and Sanders moving the conversation to the left of the Democrats. A number of important articles have recently emerged documenting this. Philip Giraldi at The American […]
The Alternative Right – An Autopsy
The article below is an interesting critique of the alleged failures of the Alternative Right from Eugene Montsalvat, who holds to an “anti-capitalist nationalist” perspective. I agree with some of this critique, and disagree with other parts, though I generally share Eugene’s view that the the alt right’s […]
Sanders’ Potential Foreign Policy: An Ignored Strength?
Sanders voted against the Iraq War and has criticized efforts to use NATO to encircle Russia. By Walter Ross LA Progressive Progressives like LA Progressive editor Dick Price have indicated many domestic reasons why progressives prefer Bernie Sanders to Hillary Clinton. A recent New York Times editorial also […]
A Conservative Traditionalist Endorses Attack the System
The “troll” accusation is fair enough. By Stuart Sudekum One of the problems with the so called “alt right” is that it is founded on the “left/right” political paradigm and assumes an argumentative political stance as its starting point. Though conservatism as a worldview is ultimately tied to […]
Globalism, a tired philosophy
By D.J. Webb Libertarian Alliance Something interesting is afoot. We appear to be witnessing the re-emergence of the nation-state. Although it is true that the Western powers have for decades followed anti-national policies, ones that have unpicked much of the cultural fabric of a historic nation-state, geopolitical realities […]
Lecture on John Stuart Mill, Sean Gabb, (2016)
Pirate Party set to be kingmaker in next Icelandic parliament—polls
By Glyn Moody Arstechica Þingvellir National Park, the site of the first Alþingi, founded in 930. Tanya Hart The Pirate Party of Iceland will receive a major funding boost from the state as a result of its high levels of public support. As the Pirate Times site explains, […]
Donald Trump and Conspiracy Theories: What a Poll in 2011 Signaled
Whatever else could be said about Trump, he’s definitely a businessman who does his market research. By Toni Monkovic New York Times Donald Trump has dominated polling among Republicans for the better part of a year, as he has delighted in reminding people. But there’s one poll that […]
Social Conservatives, However Reluctant, Are Warming to the Idea of Trump
The poor social conservatives. They’ve gone from being useful idiots for Nixon, to useful idiots for Reagan, to useful idiots for the neocons, to useful idiots for Trump. They’re kind of like a woman that gets taken advantage of by one abusive husband or boyfriend after another. “We’ll […]
Breitbart, ‘Renegade Jews,’ And The Anti-Semitic Wing Of The Trump Movement
Whoa! Apparently, there has been a split among the neocons as the most far-right wing of the neocons, the circle around David Horowitz, has gone over to the Trump camp. Bill Kristol, whose father Irving was actually the one who coined the term “neoconservatism” and was one of […]
How Sanders Could Lay the Foundation for a Third US Political Party
A more viable strategy for the progressives might be for someone like Jill Stein to enter the Democratic contest in 2020 and build on the Sanders legacy. Sanders has pulled a Ron Paul in the Democratic Party (though more successfully than what Paul achieved in the GOP), and […]
Everything I Predicted Has More or Less Become True
In the early to middle 2000s I produced a number of documents that I still consider to be the core theoretical foundations of the ATS philosophy and strategy. These documents contained a number of predictions concerning domestic US politics and international relations, so it is interesting to revisit […]
Interchange – Racist Revolutionaries: The Alt-Right Uprising?
The host of this show discusses me in some detail from the predictable perspective of a far left hysteric. Listen here. Some good music on this podcast. I don’t recall my conversation with this guy, but I’d say he has me about 80% correct. I’m definitely about overthrowing […]

Remembering the Massacre of MOVE
Reading about the entire incident at National Public Radio. A policeman stands guard on Pine Street in West Philadelphia near the remains of 61 row houses days after they were destroyed by fire on May 13, 1985, when police dropped explosives into a house occupied by members of […]
The Presidential Race and the Limitations of Liberal Democracy
My latest take on the presidential contest (not to be confused with an actual endorsement of any of the candidates). Some polls now show Sanders actually having a better chance of beating Trump than Clinton. Up until ten years ago, maybe even more recently, it would have impossible […]
An Interview with Keith Preston
This is an interview I recently gave to a journalist who is writing a book on political undercurrents in the U.S. Can you tell me a little bit about the American Revolutionary Vanguard and what it stands for? American Revolutionary Vanguard was founded in the late 1990s by […]
US election: Donald Trump surges into tie with Hillary Clinton as Bernie Sanders supporters switch sides
It is interesting how this election is essentially unfolding according to the ATS playbook. Ten years ago, I predicted that U.S. society would continue moving leftward until the Clinton Democrats began to be considered conservative, and liberalism would come to be dominated by trends more closely resembling the […]
Donald Trump Calls Hillary Clinton “Trigger Happy” as She Courts Neocons
It’s interesting to hear Donald Trump point out the millions of casualties that have been generated by US imperialism in the Middle East. Trump has now moved to the left of Hillary on foreign policy as Hillary courts the neocons. By Rania Khalek The Intercept Donald Trump derided […]
The Next Conservatism: What Is Conservatism?
By William S. Lind Traditional Right In this series of columns, we are exploring The Next Conservatism, the last book Paul Weyrich and I wrote together. It offers something this election year needs, namely a conservatism that addresses the issues of today and tomorrow, not yesterday. Ronald Reagan’s agenda […]
The War on Sex Trafficking Is the New War on Drugs
By Elizabeth Nolan Brown Reason “Sex Trafficking of Americans: The Girls Next Door.” “Sex-trafficking sweep nets arrests near Phoenix truck stops.” “Man becomes 1st jailed under new human trafficking law.” Conduct a Google news search for the word trafficking in 2015 and you’ll find pages of stories about […]
Trump Fans and ‘Social Justice Warriors,’ Two Sides of the Same Authoritarian Coin
By Elizabeth Nolan Brown Reason At first blush, the anti-political correctness crusaders that make up Donald Trump’s online army have little in common with the so-called “social justice warriors” they claim to abhor. Some will even argue that trigger-warning-happy, intolerance-intolerant campus activists and their digital counterparts are actually driving […]
What Can Gold do for Our Money?
By Stefan Gleason One of the chief virtues of a gold standard is that it serves as a restraint on the growth of money and credit. It makes runaway government deficit spending and major monetary catastrophes such as hyperinflation practically impossible. Opponents of a gold standard can’t defend […]

The Tyranny of the Politically Correct: New Book from Keith Preston

Keith Preston: US trying to gain upper hand against Russia
Press TV. Listen here: http://www.presstv.ir/Detail/2016/05/11/465120/Russia-US-Missiles-NATO-Preston “NATO is really a projection of American military power,” says Preston. The United State and NATO’s move to activate a so-called missile shield across Europe is part of America’s plan to gain “the upper hand” against Moscow, says an American political analyst in […]
The Condition of the First World Left
Who rules the world? America is no longer the obvious answer
A very good summation of the present world order. It looks like Chomsky heard my recent speech at the National Policy Institute. 🙂 By Noam Chomsky The Guardian When we ask “who rules the world?” we commonly adopt the standard convention that the actors in world affairs are […]
