An Assessment of the Gelderloos/Crimethinc Analysis
This is my assessment of the recent piece by Peter Gelderloos at Crimethinc, “Preparing for Electoral Unrest and a Right-Wing Power Grab.” The Crimethinc article is a great companion piece to the recent commentary by It’s Going Down (which I critique here) and Three-Way Fight (which I had […]
Fourth Generation War Comes to a Theater Near You
A comprehensive fourth-generation warfare analysis of the present situation from a paleoconservative perspective. By William S.

Preparing for Electoral Unrest and a Right-Wing Power Grab
By Peter Gelderloos Crimethinc It is vital that anarchist strategy be situated: that we see strategy not as a chessboard from above, as in the authoritarian worldview, but as a perspective on the situation we inhabit, looking outward with our own eyes. Nonetheless, we should not make the […]
Biden and Trump Are Both Right on Antifa
If there is one truism about Americans, it is that Americans do everything half-assed. American fascists are half-assed fascists. American communists are half-assed communists. American religious fundamentalists are half-assed fundamentalists. American anarchists are half-assed anarchists. Groups like Antifa or BLM are rookie leaguers compared to insurrectionary groups in […]

White supremacist killed in shootout with deputies in California
Some more fourth-generation war. A civil war in the modern United States would be one of history’s biggest messes. It would be like the Lebanese civil war in the 1970s and 1980s with dozens of factions pitted against each other, only it would be worse because a large […]
Thousands of Proud Boys plan to rally in Portland, setting up another clash in a combustible city

The Ruling Class Strikes Back
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 […]

Two Lawyers Sentenced To Long Terms For FIREBOMBING Police Car, Media RUSHES To Defense
I can’t really see any principled objection to firebombing police cars (enemy military vehicles). The problem that I have with both conservative anti-protestors like Saager Enjeti and Tim Pool or liberal pro-protestors like Krystal Ball and Kyle Kulinski is that they all believe in the fundamental legitimacy of […]
Krystal and Saagar DEBATE: Should Violent Protesters Be Charged With Sedition By Bill Barr?

Understanding the Left’s Tactics

Can people who have totally different ideas on what reality even is […]
Trump, the far right, and the return of vigilante repression
In an ideal situation, right-wing vigilantes would provide protection to residential neighborhoods, mom and pop shops, and the general public, while left-wing vigilantes burned down police stations and the lumpenproletariat looted Wal-Mart. But I’ve noticed that many situations tend to be less than ideal.
