By Nicky Reid aka Comrade Hermit Exile in Happy Valley In these days of epic collapse, with the established order rapidly disintegrating before our very eyes, mankind seems to be tearing apart at the seems and resorting to the bipolar extremes of the far-left and the far-right. And […]
By David S. D’Amato Libertarianism.Org When people, libertarians included, think of federalism, chances are good that they do not think of Pierre-Joseph Proudhon. More likely, they think of the The Federalist and its authors, and of the Constitution and its particular federalist structure. Federalism scholar S. Rufus Davis […]
Alan Moorey, who recently announced his intention of abandoning the common anarchist practice of non-voting in order to vote for Jeremy Corbyn, was photographed some years ago wearing a hammer and sickle T-shirt. Like a lot of anarchists with leftist leanings, Moore seems to be a Marxist at […]
Styx/Tarl is an excellent commentator on many levels but he gets a lot of stuff wrong in this. Although many anarchists portray anarchism in the worst possible light, so it’s not surprising there are so many misconceptions about the philosophy. As everyone probably knows, I’m anarchist, although I […]
A reader writes: “I was wondering why you promote and publish National-Anarchism? NAM is just white supremacist and false anarchism” I would disagree with that characterization of National-Anarchism. As National-Anarchist Movement explains: “National-Anarchists do not support Trump, Putin, Assad or Le Pen; National-Anarchists do not endorse racist behaviour […]
An summary of the political philosophy of national anarchism (developed by writers such as Troy Southgate and Keith Preston), its fundamentals, along with its association with panarchy and pan-secessionism. To clarify, national anarchism isn’t just a white person’s thing. National anarchist communities can be made up of any […]
This is the transcript of a talk I gave to the H.L. Mencken Club on November 9, 2019. By Keith Preston When it comes to questions of strategy, it is important to base one’s approach on a reasonable estimation of the probable circumstances one will be facing in […]
Keith Preston of AttacktheSystem.com joins us to discuss the various schools of anarchist thought, his far-Left beginnings, and the practical realities of pan-secessionism.
By Keith Preston Few thinkers personified the intellectual culture of the Enlightenment to a greater degree than the English political philosopher and novelist, William Godwin. In 1793, Godwin published his most influential work, An Enquiry Concerning Political Justice and Its Influence on Morals and Happiness, which at the […]
Goofy Gillis has a lengthy interview podcast interview available. Listen here. Here’s my general take on the content of this interview. He’s not unintelligent, and much of what he is saying is not “wrong” per se. But I know enough about him to know that his idea of […]

A recent interview with the Free Man Beyond the Wall podcast. Listen here. Pete invited Keith Preston to come on the show to talk about the history of anarchists, the different schools and a look back in history to see if anarchism “has ever been tried.” Keith has […]
By Sean Gabb I was called this morning by the BBC. It wanted me to comment on the claims that Sports direct, a chain of sports clothing shops, mistreats its workers – keeping them on zero-hours contracts, sometimes not paying them even the minimum wage, scaring them out […]
aragon.black Jun 11, 2019 14 minute read (full) First let’s decentralize history… This month’s thematic has been a real challenge for us and raised many questions in our minds. Why? The history of decentralization is complex and non-linear. But most of all, it is difficult to be considered from […]
In my perfect world, there would be nothing but voluntary communities, and particular communities could be as open or closed as their members wanted. I tend to think that for utilitarian reasons within the current state-capitalist system there needs to be at least some limitation on both immigration […]
A fan created a montage of audio clips from Kick the Puppy Season One showing how we are moving towards a third world model class system.
An interesting interview with a fellow that describes a more than 20-year journey through the world of anarchism, communes, intentional communities, and activist culture. Lots of anarchist name-dropping in this. From The Brilliant. Listen here.
By Nicky Reid aka Comrade Hermit Exile in Happy Valley I’m a pessimist because of intelligence, but an optimist because of will-Antonio Gramsci When the individual’s behavior and consciousness get hooked to a routine sequence of external actions, he is a dead robot, and it is time for […]
By Keith Preston Originally published in Tribes Magazine Perhaps one of the most curious features of modernity is the way in which ideologies have replaced religions as a principal source of contentiousness. During the era of the nineteenth century, when the intellectual revolution of the Enlightenment was being […]
By Nicky Reid aka Comrade Hermit Exile in Happy Valley I like conservatives. Not all conservatives. Not the bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb Iran kind or the endangered white male victim kind. But the Traditionalist kind. The Old Right, Paleolibertarian, fuck-you-mind-your-own-damn-business kind. I like people like Bill Kaufman, […]
By Dr. Hawzhin Azeez No longer the Kurdish Question, but the Kurdish Alternative – Hawzhin Azeez It is either a fallacy, or a pure symbolic violence, to continue to assume the “Kurdish Question” as unresolved. For scholars, policy experts and political bureaucrats the Kurdish Question, with its complex […]
A reader writes: “Very thought-provoking posts today, Keith (and great talk with Antony from the other day, on the state as aberration). I agree that it’s a shame how wide the gap is between lefty anarchists and an-caps (and each camp’s fellow travelers). My feeling is a lot […]
Ron Paul sounds almost like a left-anarchist is this and Noam Chomsky sounds almost like an an-cap. It’s a shame the gap between an-coms and an-caps is so vast when we agree 90% of the time.
By Ria Montana, forest & wetland rewilder https://veganprimitivist.wordpress.com/ Within anarcho-primitivism plays an ongoing dialectic pinpointing origins of the problem of civilization. Impugning only capitalism or the industrial age is much too timid. From the left, radical environmental activist leader and author Derrick Jensen impugns the point people exceed […]
Todd Lewis hosts a debate on anarchist strategy between Keith Preston and Brenton Lengel on Anarchist strategy. Brenton will defend a classic anarchist strategy and Keith his own homebrew Pan-Anarchism.
Sean Matthew King hosts a discussion between Brent Lengel, an anarcho-communist, and Keith Knight, an anarcho-capitalist.
This article is an important illustration of why a pan-anarchist movement, committed to global revolutionary struggle, needs to transcend the left/right paradigm. These romantic medievalist anarchists are people that we need as part of cultivating a mass audience for the project of state/ruling class/empire abolitionism. By Alexander William […]
This seems to be a serious, thoughtful critique of the “Green New Deal” idea from a fairly conventional left-anarchist perspective (although Carson is an individualist/mutualist/AWA, not an an-com). The ATS theoretical model and strategic paradigm is oriented toward global revolutionary struggle against the new Rome (i.e. the global […]
The word “socialism” is constantly being thrown about by supposed supporters and detractors alike, most of whom are people who have no clue as to what socialism actually is. I am opposed to conventional socialism, which I actually consider to be a conservative philosophy (see Murray Rothbard’s essay […]
The problem I have with figures like Bernie and Alexandria is that they’re not radicals. They’re simply representatives of the left-wing of the First World middle/upper middle class, pushing issues that are important that socioeconomic demographic. Unlike the traditional American middle class (now the right-wing of the middle […]
A great discussion of where libertarianism and the traditional Right differ and where they agree. The discussion of the work of Hans Hermann Hoppe is also quite good.
The story of one of the most infamous books ever written, “The Anarchist Cookbook,” and the role it’s played in the life of its author, now 65, who wrote it at 19 in the midst of the counterculture upheaval of the late ’60s and early ’70s.
This is an interesting article from 2016, published immediately after the Trump election, which references some of the criticisms of the Left that were raised by the postmodernist philosopher Richard Rorty in the 1990s. Rorty’s prediction was that by abandoning class politics in favor of cultural politics, the […]
Aragorn Bang’s podcast. Also, check out Little Black Cart. A great program discussing many pertinent issues. Listen here. Anarchists have largely agreed on the big two. Central to our politics is opposition to the State, or as we discussed last week the monopoly on violence (or corrected by […]
At last, some anarchists who get it. Woke Anarchists Anarchism in the UK is a joke. Once symbolising hard-fought struggles for freedom, the word has been stripped bare to make way for narrow-minded, separatist and hateful identity politics by middle class activists keen to protect their own privileges. […]
Mr. Antifa Intellectual serves up the “Anarcho-MSNBC” line. This kind of stuff is why I started attacking anarcho-social democrats and totalitarian humanists so vehemently 20 years ago. Regrettably, a substantial tendency has developed among “anarchists” that opposes regional or localized illiberalism more than it opposes imperialism, opposes marginal […]
By Nicky Reid aka Comrade Hermit Exile In Happy Valley Solidarity is the guiding principle for any egalitarian philosophy. The basic idea is that all oppressed people face the same enemy and the only way any of us can defeat our collective oppressor is with the collective force […]
Today I will be joined by Keith Preston for our fourth and final installment of Pan-Anarchism to discuss the hard question of national defense.
For those who are interested in the philosophies of anarchism, this is a damn good episode of The Brilliant. Myself and ATS are mentioned at various times as well. The Brilliant-Episode 90. Listen here. —————————————— This is the last episode of 2018. In 2019 along with the Brilliant […]
Todd Lewis is joined by Keith Preston for part 3 of our series on Pan-Anarchism. Today’s topic will be what would life be in an anarchist society.
By Nicky Reid aka Comrade Hermit Exile in Happy Valley Like many of my posts, I’m writing this piece from the clerical unit of my local psych rehab. There are all kinds of people here around me; black, white, old, young. But the one thing we all have […]
Todd Lewis continues with part 2 of a series with Keith Preston on pan-anarchism dealing with how he envisions Independence or the abolition of the state occurring.
Todd Lewis interviewing Keith Preston on his principles of pan-anarchism, more specifically how he envisions an organization/federation of pan-Anarchists forming in the first place, a necessary prerequisite for future struggle.
