The US Republican Party has long been trying to undermine the Iran nuclear agreement in lockstep with Israeli policies, says an American journalist. In […]
Interesting political autobiography from a somewhat leading theorist of left-anarchism. There’s really nothing in here that’s incompatible with the ATS program, except for the idea that his outlook does not need to be universalized. By Wayne Price The Anarchist Library I came to this set of ideas by […]
This is fantastic!
The Neocon/Repugnican shitheads never miss an opportunity to remind everyone what slime they are. By Nick Gillespie Reason You know that Ted Cruz is taking his presidential bid seriously when he starts flipping positions on national security and government surveillance. Recall that he joined Rand Paul’s 13-hour filibuster […]

From a discussion on Reddit. My colleagues might disagree with me and call me too reformist however I do think it is in the best interest of anarchists to support and vote for Sanders if they want improvement for the oppressed instead of romanticize about abstract ideals such […]
This blogger from The Divided Line explains why. I generally agree with what is being said here. Although I think the Left’s concept of “repressive tolerance” clearly has its roots in Marcuse, it’s overly simplistic to explain totalitarian humanism merely as an inversion of Marxism. At around 50:00, […]
By Stefan Gleason of Money Metals Exchange As the presidential primaries quickly approach, the establishment is in panic mode over the prospect of losing control. It’s not just about Donald Trump. The political class, the “mainstream” media, Wall Street, and the central banking cartel are all losing credibility […]
Reflecting on the Presidential election that’s coming up this year, it seems there are really only four possible scenarios. Scenario A: One of the neocon errand boys seeking the GOP nomination wins, and U.S. military aggression in the Middle East escalates once again, while no progress whatsoever is […]

It’s interesting to compare this critique of the Left with this article on the alleged fascist threat by David Neiwert. By Paul Gottfried Unz.Org A recent incident in Wallingford, Connecticut, not far from where I grew up, caused VDARE.com Editor Peter Brimelow to comment: “Cultural Marxist totalitarianism is […]

By Stefan Gleason Several Republican presidential candidates are floating the idea of returning to some form of a gold standard in the U.S., although none have gone into any great detail. So, how might a modern gold standard work? It’s a question that requires us to do more […]
By Danilo Cuellar This was an impromptu recording. I started recording when I realized how valuable this conversation was going to be.
This article is a pretty good dissection of Trump’s actual politics, and debunks the “Trump is a fascist” hysteria coming from the Left. This piece is more or less in line with my own assessment of Trump’s politics, with the exception that I think Trump is less inclined […]

I’d definitely prefer a legal system run by libertarians. Listen to Tom Woods’ interview with Stephan Kinsella on the non-aggression principle here. The comments thread that follows the interview also contains an interesting discussion of the way that libertarianism has split off into alt right/neo-reactionary/paleoconservative and social justice […]
Why Donald Trump is just another lame-ass politician, not a “fascist.” By Max Ehrenfreund Washington Post (Rachel Orr/The Washington Post) “Fascist” is often used as a cheap, meaningless insult in U.S. politics. But recently, it’s become a serious charge that elected officials, political operatives and pundits on both […]

William Blum is the author of one the best books out there on U.S. imperialism, “Killing Hope.” Blum writes in The Anti-Empire Report: I think one of the main reasons for Donald Trump’s popularity is that he says what’s on his mind and he means what he says, […]

I often find the radical centrist point of view refreshing after witnessing the shenanigans of the far Left and the far Right, although I think it’s primary limitation has to do with questions of scale. Radical centrists could perhaps use a good dose of Kirkpatrick Sale, Leopold Kohr, […]
Hopefully, my anti-PC credentials are well-established enough that others can see the humor in this. If only concerns about the excesses of totalitarian humanism involved matters this trivial.
Here are the three money quotes from this article that are most relevant to the ARV-ATS philosophy. “The alt right’s real objective, if one can be identified, is to challenge and dismantle mainstream conservatism.” And: “If I had to take a political position, I’d say that I’m pro-secession,” […]
Many commentators, including myself, have speculated in the past that the GOP may be on its last legs due the fact that its only reliable constituency (older WASPs) are shrinking demographically and dying off. Various options have also been suggested as means for the Republicans to save themselves. […]
Thomas Sowell is a writer whose work ranges from the brilliant to the asinine. I would highly recommend much of Sowell’s academic work, but his syndicated columns are often nothing more than neocon talking points (he obviously knows who butters his toast). Here, Sowell wrings his hands over […]
Given that Donald Trump has provoked so much “fascism hysteria,” for lack of a better, this comment from a Facebook friend, Warren Balogh, helps puts things in a little more perspective. Says Warren: “People, are you paying attention to this?! When was the last time a frontrunner presidential […]

This looks to be an interesting book. In the past I have attempted to outline fairly meticulously calculated strategies concerning how to go about forming a constituency or coalition for the pan-anarchist, pan-secessionist, and pan-decentralist ideas we promote at ATS. However, given the growing fractiousness of US politics […]
An interesting article by James Kirkpatrick on the divisions that Trump is causing in the Republican Party. From a strategic perspective, I consider the destruction of the Republican Party as a competitive force in U.S. politics to be the most important objective at the present time. The GOP […]
By David Harsanyi The Federalist This incessant clamoring by voters and punditry for better “leaders” and more “leadership” is one of the most unsavory, dangerous, and un-American tendencies in political discourse.
