Ingraham: Bidenology 101–the War Party exposed
So FOX is posing as the antiwar channel now? Except for when the beneficiaries are Israel and Saudi Arabia, of course.
Another Opinion Columnist Pushing War With Iran Who Doesn’t Actually Exist
The neocons’ Iranian MEK allies, an Islamo-Marxist cult, create fake journalists who publish opinion pieces calling for war with Iran. By Paul Brian and Arthur Bloom The American Conservative There is at least one more foreign policy opinion writer from the Mujahideen-eKhalq (MEK) whose existence is dubious, based […]
Pompeo carves out new US alliance system in Middle East
A three-way fight is brewing in the Middle East and Central Asia. By Seth J. Frantzman The Hill Following the historic agreement between the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Israel, U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo visited the region to ensure the stability of U.S. interests. In addition […]
Map of Europe’s Tribes (52 BC)
This is more or less the map of indigenous Europe before the Romanization period. A problem with much contemporary anti-imperialist or post-colonialist thought is that it tends to limit its analysis to the early modern period and beyond, i.e. the “age of exploration” through the postwar period. However, […]
Ryan Girdusky: National Populist Wins And Failures At RNC
“National-populism” is not going to be any more successful at rolling back the globalization of neoliberalism than throne and altar traditionalists were successful at rolling back classical liberalism, the industrial revolution, and the rise of modernity.
America’s Secret War On Black Anarchism in Somalia
By Nicky Reid aka Comrade Hermit Exile in Happy Valley “All power is truly in the hands of the people, and in the end the people will win.” -Kuwasi Balagoon With November rapidly approaching and a Biden victory appearing more and more plausible, Donald Trump, our petulant man-child […]
Americanization: The Spread of a Dangerous Plague
One thing that I have endeavored to point out to American “radicals” is that the US government is not merely the government of the 50 states but the government of most, if not all, of the world. The US directly or indirectly controls the internal politics of the […]
‘National Security’ Republicans Abandon Trump For Biden
The best thing about Trump is that he portrays the state as it ought to be portrayed. The mafia writ large. The overlords of the empire are concerned Trump is breaking kayfabe.
Trump’s REAL Foreign Policy Target
By far, the worst things about Trump are his total subservience to Israel and Saudi Arabia, along with his Iranophobia and Sinophobia. Trump seems to be aligned with a neo-realist faction of the ruling class, deep state, and power elite that regards China as the primary enemy as […]
What happens if Kim Jong Un is dead? Explaining North Korea’s succession plan
Hopefully, the DPRK will follow China, Vietnam, Laos, and to some degree Cuba, and adopt the New Economic Policy model of development that Lenin pursued in his later years. By Armit Chaturvedi Hindustan Times North Korean leader Kim Jong Un’s disappearance from public life in recent months led […]
North Korea’s Kim Jong Un in coma, sister Kim Yo-jong to take over: Reports
Will Yo-Jong be the Gorbachev or at least the Deng of the DPRK, or will she be a North Korean Hillary or Kamala? By Kanishka Sarker Hindustan Times North Korean leader Kim Jong Un is reportedly in a coma and his sister Kim Yo-jong will be exercising de […]
David Graeber on Trump: Racist, But Anti-Imperialist
David Graeber, a leading left-anarchist academic, has an interesting take on Trump. Read the Twitter thread here. He is a pure opportunist but sincere in two ways: 1.he is genuinely and sincerely racist; 2. He is genuinely and sincerely anti-imperialist at least in the US empire’s current form. […]
Trump Viciously Attacks Ilhan Omar & “Left Wing Fascists”
There are certainly metaphorical “fascists” on the Left but llhan isn’t one of them. I do wonder what her connections to the Muslim Brotherhood might be, although some in the movement for solidarity with Palestine feel she is actually too Zionist. Either way, she is an important critic […]
The Future of Erdogan’s Power: The Possible Fate of the AKP

The UAE-Israel Deal is a US Strategy to Isolate Iran, Pro-Palestinians
By Randi Nord Geopolitics Alert Abu Dhabi (GPA) – The United Arab Emirates and Israel signed what President Trump called a “breakthrough” comprehensive diplomatic agreement last week. Abu Dhabi has whitewashed the deal as a net positive for Palestinians. A deeper look, however, shows that the agreement is […]
Beirut Blast: The Real Motive
This is an interesting take. Kim is pretty solid on international relations.
Palestinians slam ‘traitor’ UAE for normalising ties with Israel
The good news is that Dubai is an interesting smart city project that will make for an interesting municipal anarchist startup society once the present UAE ruling class and the regime are overthrown. Ibrahim Husseini Al Jazeera Occupied East Jerusalem – The United Arab Emirates (UAE) decision to normalise […]
Cheney: Sanders, AOC and Biden are advocating the quick sand of socialism
This is interesting even if it’s pathetically tragic. The neocons have the Democratic Party under their control, which they can use to advance liberal imperialism on a general level through the wider set of institutions that comprise the global capitalist empire (UN, NATO, IMF, World Bank, WTO, G20, […]
DNC ROLLS OUT Neocons To Beat Election Drum For Biden
The neocon Democratic Party recolonization effort is now complete. The neocons are now fully in control of both parties (if they weren’t before). They even trotted out George W. Bush’s own Tarik Aziz in the person of Colin Powell. The role of the Democrats is advance a hawkish […]
The Rise and Decline of the State
This book explains how traditional nation-states that have their roots in the Treaty of Westphalia and came into full fruition in the 19th era of classical liberal are largely being absorbed into a transnational framework in which other institutions assume a hegemonic position. The “populist-nationalist” movements that have […]
How the Empire Actually Works
This book is not perfect by any means, but it’s the best academic work for explaining how the global capitalist empire actually works. It is important for radicals to avoid both the anti-Eastern propaganda perpetrated by Western elites, and the view that the East is somehow an alternative […]
U.S. Wars and Hostile Actions: A List
The most powerful state in the world is also the most violent and dangerous (big picture-wise). Gee, who would’ve thought? It’s not necessary to mislabel American power elites as fascists, communists, or any other cultic ideology that came out of the 19th and 20th centuries. The USA simply […]
‘They never went away’: reclaiming Indigenous names from a colonial past – a photo essay
The true test of whether an individual, movement, ideology, organization, or government is authentically anti-imperialist is their stance on indigenous peoples’ rights. Virtually every regime in the world, even the most liberal ones, have awful histories and policies on indigenous peoples’ issues. By Annette Ruzicka The Guardian
Belarus – A U.S. Sponsored Color Revolution Is Underway
I’m sure most ATS readers are sophisticated enough to understand that legitimate popular rebellions against authoritarian regimes can take place, only to be turned into so-called “color-coded revolutions” hijacked by the imperial overlords and bent toward the overlords’ own purposes. This has happened in countries all over the […]
The Rise of Anarcho-Neoconservatism?
It’s definitely interesting how the anarchist sector of the US far-left seems to be drifting towards an implicitly “pro-American” view of international relations in a way that overlaps with those of neocons and neoliberals, while the Marxist sector has drifted toward “pro-Eastern” views that ironically overlaps with the […]
An attempt to create “far left to neocon” pipeline?
This is an image from Alexander Reid-Ross’ website that purports to demonstrate how Russia (supposedly the epicenter of world fascism) manipulates and puppet masters the Western media. Notice how the journalistic outlets that are supposedly the purest in terms of being free from supposed Russian influence are neocon […]
What’s Happening in Belarus?
Several things to watch here. Belarus is a corrupt authoritarian regime that is largely a leftover from the Soviet era when Belarus was one of the 15 Soviet republics. This is a genuine popular uprising just as the rebellion in Hong Kong against the efforts by China to […]
Israel-UAE peace deal a ‘major victory for US foreign policy’:
Obviously. The Atlanticist-Zionist-Wahhabi axis is strengthened.
Trump announces peace deal between Israel, UAE
Imagine that. Donald’s love for these Middle Eastern scumbags is his worst weakness. Netanyahu, the butcher of Gaza who wants to push the US into a war with Iran, and Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, who literally keeps his own family members, including his daughter as prisoners.
Pick a Cold War, Any Cold War!
By Nicky Reid aka Comrade Hermit Exile in Happy Valley Oh what a democracy we have in America! What a free and vibrant land of choices we’ve created for ourselves on the graves of more primitive civilizations. We just have so many goddamn choices to chose from, it’s […]
When Neocons Attack: Bolton-Linked PAC Targets Libertarian
The neocons are regrouping and planning a comeback. These guys are Public Enemy Numero Uno. Listen to the interview here. Former Maine state senator Eric Brakey discusses his GOP primary race for U.S. Congress in Maine, where a John Bolton-linked PAC dumped a pile of money into an […]
Trump’s Foreign Policy: Promises and Results
One thing that is pointed out in the Weissmueller interview is that “antiwar” Democrats always disappear when a Democrat is in the White House, and that the only reliable antiwar constituencies are hardcore libertarians, Communists, and some conspiracy types. ———————————————————————- Has Trump lived up to expectations that he […]
An Anti-Imperialist Revolution That Failed Due to Imperialist Sabotage
The Fred Hampton of Burkina Faso. On August 4, 1983, socialist revolutionary Thomas Sankara became president of Burkina Faso at the age of 33. He only lasted 4 years, because he was killed in a military coup, suspected to have had support from the US and France.
The Neocons Strike Back
A New Republic article from January 2020 following the Suleimani assassination. Probably the most important thing that is happening in US politics right now is something that almost no one is aware of which is the present effort by the neocons to put themselves back in charge of […]
Kim Debates Destiny! Vote Biden Or No Biden?
There is a lengthy and pretty good discussion of foreign policy in this.
Would Susan Rice as VP be a death wish for the Democratic Party?
Susan Rice is a “liberal internationalist” (basically, a left-neocon). Liberal internationalists prefer to exercise imperial power through the use of international institutions like the UN as opposed to US unilateralism, maintaining the empire through economic and trade dominance, the use of sanctions rather than military invasion (“starve ’em […]
Trump Puts Iran-Contra VILLAIN In Charge Of Iran Policy
It’s interesting that the neocons are now waging a multi-front battle to regain the control they had during the Bush years: colonizing the Democrats and Never Trumpers, while embedding themselves in Trumpism at the same time, and simultaneously creating a Rainbow Right while continuing to pander to the […]
Trump Gives TERRIBLE Answer When Asked If He’ll End War
Warning: Don’t buy a used car from the Trumpster.
Let’s Face it, China Is Its Own Worst Enemy
The Chinese regime sucks, but the Sinophobia that the US political class is ratcheting up is all a rhetorical smokescreen that has the effect of obscuring the real relationship between the US and China. By Doug Bandow The American Conservative In hopes of winning reelection, President Donald Trump […]
Trump Names Neocon Regime Changer as Iran Envoy
The worst decision that Trump has made in his entire term so far. Elliot Abrams is the son-in-law of neocon godfather Norman Podhoretz. By Daniel Larison The American Conservative The New York Timesreports on the resignation of Brian Hook, who will be replaced by none other than Elliott […]
Is QAnon the Most Dangerous Conspiracy Theory of the 21st Century?
No. The Russophobia, Sinophobia, and Iranophobia promoted by the neocons and neoliberals are the most dangerous collection of conspiracy theories. By Charlie Warzel New York Times In 2019, the F.B.I. cited QAnon as one of the dangerous conspiracy theories posing domestic terrorist threats to the United States and […]
‘Ode to Putin’ appears in Portland from Trump Statue Initiative
I disagree with widespread claims that Trump is somehow Putin’s puppet. The Trump administration has been too hawkish toward Russia (unilaterally abrogating the INF Treaty, for example) rather than not hawkish enough. Russia is just a province in the global capitalist empire in which the US ruling class […]
Let’s talk about Biden’s possible foreign policy….
This is some excellent commentary. I have predicted for 20 years that as the aggressive militarism of the neocons produced one failure after another, the ruling class would eventually shift to an effort to maintain the empire under the cover of liberal internationalism, economic dominance, and totalitarian humanism. […]
Tucker: In a normal year, Biden’s VP options wouldn’t be qualified
The discussion of Susan Rice’s views on foreign policy in this is pretty good.
Nancy Pelosi and Liz Cheney Unite Against Troop Withdrawal
When Trump was running for prez in 2016, I thought that he was instinctively and certainly rhetorically to the “left” of both the normal Republicans (neocons and supply-siders) and the “centrist” Democrats (neoliberals) on a wide range of issues, particularly foreign policy, trade, and criminal justice reform, although […]
Libyan Arab Jamahiriya
An old article from the 1980s describing Libya’s economic system. There were many problems with Qaddafi, but the reason he was so hated by the Western imperialists is that he expelled Western petroleum interests from the country and created the wealthiest nation on the African continent. The Western […]

Neocons, Never-Trumpers ANOINT Liz Cheney As GOP Cheney, Ignore Warmongering
The neocons are plotting their comeback in the Republican Party even while they are also colonizing the Democratic Party.
Get the Fuck Out of Afghanistan!
By Nicky Reid aka Comrade Hermit Exile in Happy Valley This is the part of the horror movie where the plot collapses beneath the weight of one too many clichés. Having already gruesomely dispatched all the more promiscuous teens, the knife wielding masked psychopath has cornered the chaste […]
So Close, But Yet So Far…
I came across this recent statement from a leftist activist. The comments below were made as part of a wider argument that opposition to PC is nothing more special pleading by reactionaries who merely want to be exempt from criticism, which is the standard leftist reply to criticisms […]
