By Emily Ekins Reason.Com Handsraised Yesterday, Rachel Burger at Townhall made the case that “Libertarianism isn’t confined to Caucasians anymore.” Data from both the Pew Research Center and the Reason-Rupe poll bolster her thesis, particularly among younger people. Pew finds that roughly equal numbers of white (12%) and Hispanic Americans (11%) say the term […]
By Conor Friedersdorf The Atlantic Katerha/Flickr “Has the ‘Libertarian Moment’ Finally Arrived?” The question was put to New York Times Magazine readers by journalist Robert Draper, who has elicited disdainful responses from Paul Krugman of the Times, Jonathan Chait of New York, and my colleague David Frum. All three […]
By Keith Preston I recently suggested that the next necessary step in the cultivation of the pan-anarchist movement will be the coalescence of the many scattered factions and tendencies within anarchism and overlapping philosophies into a new “Gray” anarchist macro-tribe that maintains its own political and cultural identity […]
This was originally posted on the “Points to Consider” discussion thread, but the comments are important enough that I’m making them into a feature post. Take notes, readers. By Julius Ebola One of the basic aspects of real cadre is a major personal commitment to a movement. Unfortunately, […]
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 […]

Listen to the interview. Robert Stark talks to John Robb of Global Guerrillas . John is an author, inventor, entrepreneur, technology analyst, engineer, and military pilot. He’s started numerous successful technology companies, including one in the financial sector that sold for $295 m and one that pioneered the […]
An interesting and, I suspect, accurate bit of analysis. I think this commentator is correct that as U.S. society continues to move leftward, the right will become increasingly alienated from both the political establishment and the mainstream culture, and begin to adopt a more radical, militant, and anti-establishment […]
Listen to the interview here.
It seems to me that in the last couple of years “free market anarchism” in its various forms has grown to the point where it’s now starting to eclipse or even surpass the “anarcho-Marxists” in terms of size and influence. I base this observation on the number of […]
This article from C4SS by Carson is fine in so far as the discussion of alternative economic paradigms and the falseness of the “big government vs big capital” dichotomy is concerned. Those are Carson’s primary areas of specialization. But this piece is more problematic for what it does […]
By Pasquale Pulella NATA-NY Many times in the past we anarchists have heard the argument that human nature is what’s stopping humanity from being free, is this true? Could it be that maybe were asking the wrong question? Could it be that the statist are right in some […]
While I endorse this proposal, I would qualify my endorsement by pointing out that this is merely a plan for decentralizing the state of California. That by itself is a worthwhile ambition, but the wider aim of pan-secessionism is much more radical, i.e. the overthrow of the American […]
By Gary North I recently read an article on the Left-wing website in Great Britain, The Guardian. This has been the most consistently Left-wing publication in Great Britain. It was part of the organized Left as early as the 1920’s, and it has never varied in the slightest. […]
2014 has thus far proved to be an interesting year for American Revolutionary Vanguard and AttacktheSystem.Com. After many years of laboring in the trenches on the fringe of the fringe of the world of dissident politics, the ideas we have long promoted here at ATS are starting to […]

Decolonial monarchism! This jives well with Bioregionalism and indigenous clan/band/village level sovereignty. A fellow member of my tribe commented that “sovereignty should not be defined at the whim of U.S. congressional mood swings.” I agree entirely but would add that the US would never allow for any genuine, […]
According to the Mao-Maos, what’s being described in this essay is already happening. By Pasquale Pulella NATA-NY Anarchy’s greatest feature is also its greatest weakness. Anarchy is a world without rulers which means no organized hierarchical violence. This lack of violence is not necessarily a weakness but it […]
The likely future of American society over the next half century will include the following: 1. An ongoing widening of class divisions driven by a complex convergence of a variety of economic, political, technological, and demographic forces. 2. Growing poverty and the expansion of the underclass, the shrinking […]
As much as I criticize it, I’m actually glad to see the rather significant growth of the different anarchist, libertarian, and overlapping tendencies in recent years even if most of them are still at the training wheels phase. It used to be much worse. When I started this, […]
By Kevin Carson Center for a Stateless Society Casey Given, in “What’s the Point of Checking Your Privilege?”, questions the relevance or usefulness of the concept of privilege. Not that he questions the existence of racial and gender oppression — far from it. He simply argues that privilege […]
I was so ahead of my time. 🙂 Check it out.
Watch the interview here. I feel somewhat vindicated now that such a venerated figure like Nader is advocating for the same basis set of positions and tactics (at least on topical issues) that I’ve advocated for years. Okay, my fellow anarchists, this is your chance. Nader has thrown […]
This is the most interesting development I’ve seen in mainstream U.S. politics since the Ron Paul phenomenon. Hopefully, it will have a similar effect. The Ron Paul campaign not only spearheaded massive growth in the mainstream libertarian movement, but served as a “gateway drug” that led many of […]
By Timothy Noah The Washington Post Ralph Nader wants liberals and conservatives to work together. In his new book, “Unstoppable,” he cites many instances in which such cooperation ought to be possible, at least theoretically. But the book’s greater value may lie in the opportunity to contemplate, almost […]
By Kristen East The Washington Times Ralph Nader is at it again, this time on a mission that he says will bring America’s liberals and conservatives together in the fight against corporate overreach and government secrecy. Building on a new book he has published, the longtime activist, author […]

By Kevin Carson Libertarian Alliance Center for a Stateless Society In a post at the Students For Liberty (SFL) blog, (“Between Radicalism and Revolution: The Cautionary Tale of Students for a Democratic Society,” May 6), Clark Ruper uses the example of the Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) as […]
By Pat Buchanan The American Conservative Last summer, in this capital of gridlock, a miracle occurred. The American people rose as one and told the government of the United States not to drag us into another Middle East war in Syria. Barack Obama was ready to launch air and […]

As I’ve been predicting. I lean towards the bus blockers on this one. By Brenda Walker VDARE.Com Progressives in San Francisco are at war with themselves as anti-free market activists and immigrants are attacking – sometimes physically – the liberal but mostly white tech industry which funds the […]

DangerousMinds.Net Abbie Hoffman and Jerry Rubin debating the future of America in 1986 Watching this debate between Abbie Hoffman and Jerry Rubin from 1986, I was struck by how little has really changed since the late 80s despite the fact that, to Rubin’s way of thinking, we’ve had […]
Read for yourself. In addition to NATA-NY, another “bridging” group between White Nationalists and libertarians is Attack the System (ATS). It is the brainchild of Keith Preston, who decades ago was involved in left-wing anarchist groups. Now he advocates “pan-secessionism,” which hopes to create a Left-Right alliance of […]
It looks like Ralph Nader is adopting many of the positions I’ve been pushing for 15 years. Maybe he’s been reading AttacktheSystem.Com. He’s halfway home, though he’s still operating very much within a reformist framework. Add the anarcho-pluralist meta-political paradigm, the pan-secessionist strategy, and fourth generation insurgent theory […]
It is widely believed that the term “anarcho-pluralism” that I give to my own outlook is a derivative of Alain De Benoist’s “ethno-pluralism.” But I actually picked it up from an elderly Jewish anarchist I met in NYC a few times in the 80s, Sam Dolgoff, who had […]
This piece is by an old anarchist friend of mine whom I knew in Richmond during the early years of ARV-ATS. It sums up everything that really needs to be said about the current crop of “anarchists” in North America. ” All of these different incidents at big […]
In what way does the actually existing libertarian movement, anarchist or otherwise, threaten the existing political order? If anything, the libertarian movement is a microcosm of the wider society. There are the “right-libertarians” who extol the virtues of capitalism, Christianity, and the American way (kind of like, you […]

By Hannah Roberts Daily Mail Venetians have voted overwhelmingly for their own sovereign state in a ‘referendum’ on independence from Italy. Inspired by Scotland’s separatist ambitions, 89 per cent of the residents of the lagoon city and its surrounding area, opted to break away from Italy in an […]
