From what I have seen over the past few years, the “libertarian movement” in the US has largely deteriorated into a WWE area where different culture war factions can play-fight. Different libertarian and anarchist tendencies seem to have merely become appendages to the major tribes. The best that […]
The ACLU once represented the best elements of the American Left. No more. The only value I see in the American Left at present is as a constraint on the American Right. The opposite is also true. The best we can hope for is that the two sides […]

Chelsea, say it ain’t so… Bow-tied country club Republican tabloid TV jerk-off Tucker Carlson is hardly a “nazbol.” Carlson is within a longstanding “progressive Republican” tradition of mildly criticizing big capital that goes at least as far back as Teddy Roosevelt if not Lincoln (and usually doing favors […]
From a thread on a social media page. This nails it. The only qualification might be that I don’t know that “liberal” is really the right word for it, and terms like “cultural Marxist” are even more off base. I’d say “progressive” in the historic American sense is […]
