Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but the growth of pan-secessionism will definitely create some interesting dividing lines. The question of secession is my litmus test. I believe it is what separates true radicals from non-radicals (at least in the USA). The bottom line is that there are […]
We advocates of pan-secessionism do not need to grow or cultivate a constituency of our own. We already have what might be called a “sleeping constituency” of 80 million people. The only question we face is the issue of how to awake this sleeping giant, and get this […]
The Wikipedia entry on the different schools of economic thought gives a pretty good overview of all of these different methods of economic analysis.

A very important interview that addresses many of the primary questions involved with pan-secession. Listen here.
By Samuel Arbesman We do not really think much about city-states anymore. With the exceptions of such places as Singapore and Hong Kong, the term “city-state” often conjures up the image of Athens or Sparta. However, through a bit of number-crunching of data from the United States Census, […]
Triad Conservative Last month, a highly publicized vote took place in Scotland to decide whether to secede from the United Kingdom. This vote resulted in some sentiments being exposed in the United States that are also sympathetic to the concept of secession. Newsmax first reported that there is […]
It is somewhat difficult to understand why more liberals, leftists, and progressives do not take this eminently sensible and self-interested position.

By Drew DeSilver Pew Research Center Federal drug policy is in the midst of a major conceptual shift away from the long, automatic prison sentences and zero-tolerance policies of the “War on Drugs” era. But it’s the states, whose prisons house the vast bulk of U.S. convicts, that […]
By Alex Newman New American Much has been written about the ongoing efforts by globalists and the international establishment to centralize political and economic power.

Norman Mailer’s decentralized, left-conservatism is a lot like what the electoral wing of the ARV-ATS program would be. We need to cultivate an alliance of third parties (and perhaps some maverick Democrats and Republicans) who will begin pursing the Mailer model and strategy in cities all across the […]
Ralph Nader discusses his approach with libertarians at the Cato Institute. Nader’s idea are lot like what the reformist wing of the ARV-ATS program would look like. Of course, the revolutionary wing would still be there to push the reformists in an ever more radical direction. Cato.Org Featuring […]
I have long believed that the most important role mainstream libertarians can play is in the realm of the legal system, e.g. more libertarian lawyers becoming activist judges, district attorneys, and defense attorneys that reshape the legal system according to much more libertarian values. The U.S. legal system […]
The police state and prison-industrial complex have become so large that state repression has spilled over into the mainstream, rather than remaining on the margins and on the bottom. It’s become costly enough that mainstream liberals and conservatives alike are starting to rethink it all. Interesting. By Erik […]
Fascism is an ideology of statism, imperialism, militarism, totalitarianism, and the cult of leadership. The Wikipedia entry on fascism is actually pretty accurate. Fascism is the polar opposite of anarchism, antithetical to everything ATS is about, and something to be guarded against. That said, the vulgar Marxist interpretation […]
Ultimately, the victory of the resistance necessitates the dissolution of the present imperialist regime’s military and police forces. Towards this end, the growth of dissension, conflict, and low morale within the ranks of both is in the best interests of the resistance. The present conflict between Mayor Di […]

The case of the NYPD “work slow down” is an example of why a Machiavellian approach to political strategy and activism is necessary. If there were a large and well-organized anarchist movement in North America, that was in turn organizing a larger federation of anti-state groups, we would […]
