Neo-feudalism is here.
The GOP fighting to the death for the cause of plutocracy. Saagar Enjeti explains what he believe the Republican Party will look like if Donald Trump does not serve a second term.
The discussion of Trump’s taxes in this is pretty funny. Apparently, the prez is just another plutocratic greedhead. Who would’ve guessed?

The economic impact of the pandemic has been to proletarianize the middle-class and lumpenproletarianize the working class, while further concentrating wealth into the proverbial 1%. Fortunately, the traditional lumpenproletariat has demonstrated the proper response to such events. Keep those pig pens burning and keep those Wal-Marts looted. By […]

More and more people are realizing the futility of trying to work “within the system.”

The cop who realized he was really working for organized crime. Tom Gissler as told to Laura Thompson Mother Jones “It dawned on me that the entire system, the entire thing, was just a shitty mafia system.” Three years in, I had basically arrived—I had been transferred to […]
I predict this will probably lead to some murders.
If I had to identify any way in which my views have shifted over the years, it would probably be that I have largely moved away from the idea of a far-left/far-right “third position” type of tactical framework toward more of a revolutionary centrist one. The far-right and […]
I would actually agree with Pakman’s critique of the Koch-model of libertarianism and suggest that political decentralization must necessarily be accompanied by economic decentralization. But where this commentary goes wrong is with its failure to recognize the role of national governments in creating the transnational corporate and financial […]

By Martin Snyder The Economic Collapse Even with all of the massive economic problems that the United States is facing, if the government would just get off our backs most of us would do okay. In America today, it is rapidly getting to the point where it is […]
I tend to agree with this assessment from the “Sovereign Counties” site. Anarcho-capitalism is a contradiction in terms. The system presumes a state enforcing exclusive entitlement to productive means. Competing security agencies, enforcing these entitlements and only these entitlements, constitute a state. Anarcho-communism as usually described is not […]

I disagree with aspects of the ideological flavor reflected in this article. But its core thesis seems to be cogent enough. A multi-dimensional insurrection (consisting of distinct but overlapping sectors such as the lumpenproletariat, middle-class radicals, ordinary hooligans, the far left, and sectors of the far right) is […]

It is never a good thing when people in a society start killing each other with a greater degree of frequency. But incidents of this type are the natural consequence of 50 years of economic and social policies that have turned the USA into a Third World society […]
The problem with “systemic racism” analysis of this kind is that, while not factually wrong on its face, no context is provided. The assumption is that the present system would be fine if only it were less racist, which has the effect of obscuring and obfuscating critiques of […]
By Nicky Reid aka Comrade Hermit Exile in Happy Valley “The most interesting political questions throughout history have been whether or not humans will be ruled or free, whether they will be responsible for their actions as individuals or left irresponsible as members of society, and whether they can live in peace by volitional agreements alone.” -Karl Hess “We’ve got to […]
This pedo/rapist/senile/police statist/bankster flunkie/warmonger is the supposed “lesser evil” our “progressive” friends want us to vote for.

Instead of “workers of the world, unite!” it’s “mom’s basement dwellers of the world, unite!”
