Erik von Kuehnelt-Leddihn’s classic Portland Declaration would seem to be a decent program for the right-wing of pan-secessionism, particularly those with a religious or traditional conservative bent, just as the “Wisdom and Vision” statement is an excellent model for the left-wing of pan-secessionism. by Erik von Kuehnelt-Leddihn. The […]
By Greg Johnson Counter-Currents.Com As I write, the Scottish independence referendum remains undecided, but the “No” camp is in the lead. Regardless of the outcome, though, Scotland will have more independence, either leaving the UK altogether or enjoying greater autonomy within it. I was, frankly, surprised that many White Nationalists […]
What do our English or Scottish readers think of Sean’s analysis here? I’m not familiar with enough with the issues he raises to have an opinion on them. Besides, I’m neither English nor Scottish, so it’s none of my business. By Dr. Sean Gabb Libertarian Alliance Last week, […]

By Daniel Hawkins The Art of Not Being Governed Something earth-shattering is about to happen. Tomorrow, the British-ruled country known as Scotland will vote for their independence. The news has been focusing almost entirely on what this will mean for the UK and Europe. Most people have been […]
By David Morris Alternet Since 1945 the number of nations has soared from about 60 to more than 180. The first wave of new sovereign states came with the decolonization movement of the 1960s and 1970s; the second in the early 1990s with the break-up of the Soviet […]
Wall Street Journal Luci Gutiérrez It happened last Sunday at football stadiums around the country. Suddenly, 50,000 individuals became a single unit, almost a single mind, focused intently on what was happening on the field—that particular touchdown grab or dive into the end zone. Somehow, virtually simultaneously, each […]

This is, along with foreign policy and international geopolitics, is the issue that anarchists, libertarians, and anti-statists of all types should be focused on, rather than arcane economic theories or sectarian tribal/cultural rivalries. By John W. Whitehead Rutherford Institute “Police are specialists in violence. They are armed, trained, […]

A very important piece illustrating how pan-secessionism is not just for leftists or rightists, but for everyone who genuinely opposes the system, or who simply wants self-determination for their own community or culture. By Michael Cushman Southern Nationalist Network Some Northern Leftists in the United States are willing […]
I’m sure we’ll get honorable mention at this conference. Nobody is taking the game away from the Left. Instead, the Left is giving the game away. The Left is now the center, and unfortunately some anarchists have failed to adapt to the 21st century. The would prefer to […]
This is an example of why I have suggested in past that anarchists, libertarians, and allied others attempt to gain political preeminence at the local and municipal level, even within the context of the overarching state system. This was a strategy pursued by the Spanish anarchists, and later […]
Resistance is growing. Russia Today Reuters / Yannis Behrakis A panel of top global narcotics experts fronted by prominent public figures including Kofi Annan, Richard Branson and eight ex-national presidents, is strongly urging that drugs be a matter for health professionals, not the police, in a new report.

This is interesting. Look for the GOP to attempt to co-opt this in the future by adopting something akin to a “Brown strategy” in the style of the “Southern strategy” they adopted during the Nixon era, and that sustained them until 2008. The GOP is already trying to […]

Good words from former Black Panther Lorenzo Kom’boa Ervin. There’s a great deal of very interesting information on this fellow’s Facebook page. This guy is a genuine veteran of the struggle against the system. “Though many want to follow in the example of the original Black Panther Party […]
One of our readers, “Julius Ebola,” offered these thoughts in a recent comments thread. I think these are points that are well worth considering. Thoughts on some of these ideas anyone? “Sectarianism and opportunism are useful as general political concepts, and that seems to be how Rothbard understood […]
In case anyone is wondering what I mean when I talk about “totalitarian humanism,” here it is:
It looks like some more “right-opportunism” is on the way. The upside is that this opens the door for those with more radical views to come in. The Daily Beast Democrats have long loathed the conservative billionaires, but they’re united on one topic, at least: militarized police. How […]
These two guys, who headed the Libertarian Party ticket in 2012, are perfect illustrations of what I call “system libertarians.” By “system libertarians,” I don’t mean “right-opportunists” who are simply trying to hijack libertarianism towards other ends like Rand Paul, Bob Barr, the Kochs, etc. By all accounts, […]
By Aleksey Bashtavenko Random Meanderings The Republicans and the Democrats disagree about the role that the government should play in providing social services. The former insist that it should be smaller and intervene less in the economy. In contradistinction, the latter maintain that the public interest would be […]
I agree with the analysis in this piece by Robert Lindsay if we stick to defining the Left as “advocating state intervention in the economy on behalf of objectives sought by reform liberals, progressives, and socialists.” Over the past thirty years, US economic policy has mostly been about […]
A principal difficulty with the Randian “let them eat cake” model of libertarianism is that extreme inequality of wealth, whatever one thinks of it from the perspective of “social justice,” normally produces abhorrent political outcomes. It invites either the ascension of the demagogue promising to uplift the poor, […]
This is somewhat interesting. Each of the three guests are like a parody of their respective ideologies. But the host seems to understand the need to move past sectarian left/right silliness in favor of a greater unity against the system. It would have been nice to have seen […]
Check this out. Check this out. Pretty soon we’re going to have to start paying publicists’ fees to these “watchdog” people.
“People seem good while they are oppressed, but they only wish to become oppressors in their turn: life is nothing but a competition to be the criminal rather than the victim.” – Bertrand Russell, Letter to Ottoline Morrell, 17 December, 1920 h/t J. Ryan Moore

A domestic police state is the logical outcome of imperialism.

If you want to know what U.S. politics will look like a few decades from now, perhaps much sooner, imagine a U.S. election with the present day bourgeois technocratic “progressives” of the Democratic Party representing “conservatism,” and the “cultural Marxist” freak show representing “liberalism,” and there you have […]
The quote below from Robert Higgs reminds us of why it is the state that is the enemy of all mankind. Regrettably, the Left focuses all of its attention on alleged oppression, whether real or imaginary, sponsored by all sorts of Isms, Archies, and Phobias. Yes, class exploitation […]

I apologize for my lengthy prelude to Ms. McElroy’s piece, but things are moving along in a way that merits comment. It would appear that totalitarian humanism is in the process of taking over libertarianism, which is predictable enough as libertarianism left too many gaps open that ultimately […]

Look for the various contentious issues involving gender identity and sexual orientation to become a major source of conflict on the Left in the future. The key issue for pan-secessionists is to figure out how to siphon libertarian and anti-establishment leaning feminists, gays, transgenders, and other sexual/gender minorities […]
Contra Glenn, the real future of conflict in the US will not be between Left and Right as presently understood. The Right is rapidly dwindling in numbers, and while the Right will become more militant as it continues to decline, it will become increasingly irrelevant as the state […]
As I have previously stated in the “Liberty and Populism” essay, in a relatively short period of time, the progressive therapeutic statists and totalitarian humanists will be the unquestioned status quo. These progressive statists will be allies of the neoliberal plutocratic elites, and the military industrial complex. They […]
This issue will probably become increasingly contentious as the movement to legalize marijuana spreads to more and more states. This will also likely be a divisive issue on the Left between the libertarian left and the therapeutic statists, health fascists, and anti-smoking crusader types. Reuters/MSN.Com SEATTLE (Reuters) – […]
I suspect that at some point in the not too distant future there will be a growing movement to decriminalize or legalize prostitution, comparable to the gay rights movement in its early phase or the present movement for legalization of marijuana. This is to be welcome from an […]

I’m somewhat surprised by this reaction to the Gaza situation, as things seem to be moving faster than I expected, but it looks like what I’ve been predicting for a while is starting to happen. Cultural, demographic, and generational change in the US is also creating a political […]
