What Would Civil War Two Look Like?
This is one of the best analyses I’ve seen to date on what an actual Civil War 2 would look like. It’s political, geographical, and cultural analysis is spot on, although its main weakness is that it largely leaves out social class (which is fragmenting both the Red […]
Memories from Nemesis: Tale of a Peruvian Maoist
An interesting discussion of Abimael Guzman’s autobiography. Some readers have suggested that I am too Eurasianist in my geopolitical outlook, but I’d argue I’m actually closer to the Senderos than the Duginists. Obviously, I don’t share their Maoist fundamentalism, but their geopolitical outlook was to reject both the […]

Liberty Fighter: Matthew VanDyke Interview
Getting Grand Strategy Wrong
By William S. Lind Traditional Right One of the iron laws of warfare is that a higher level dominates a lower. You can be brilliant tactically, but if you are defeated operationally, you lose. You can win tactically and operationally, but if you get beaten strategically, you lose. […]

China and Russia Train for War with U.S. if Trump Invades North Korea
The withering away of the antiwar movement during the Obama era, and the failure of the Left to oppose the Trump administration’s efforts to strengthen the position of the Atlanticist-Zionist-Wahhabi axis (or to even take notice) indicates that US imperialism will have to be defeated externally rather than […]
Terr’ism

Neocons Seek War with Iran, Ethic Cleansing of Palestinians
As a I have long suspected. William S. Lind Traditional Right Those of us who supported President Trump in last year’s election because he promised a less interventionist foreign policy need to be aware of a rising danger. Neo-con influence in the Trump administration seems to be on […]
A Future Global War between States and Non-State Actors?
Bill Lind’s analysis of the emerging world order is absolutely correct. If I were a statist, I would be taking the exact same position as Bill Lind, i.e. that the main threat that states now face is not each other but the rise of non-state actors and fourth […]
The Hezbollah Model Wins
The model that all anarchists and anti-statists need to be studying. One of our objectives should be to develop non-state political and militia confederations that will usurp many of the functions currently provided by states, with the goal of eventually superseding states. By William S. Lind Traditional Right […]
Arcane Semantics: Keith Preston – Tribalism, Anti-Statism & 4th Generation Warfare
A recent interview. Listen here.
Charlottesville Was a Massive 4GW Failure
“Failure” doesn’t even begin to describe it. I would argue that Charlottesville was the end of the Alt-Right’s opportunity to be anything other than a fringe subculture. In 4GW, the propaganda wars are the most important of wall, and the Alt-Right essentially suffered a Hiroshima attack in Charlottesville. […]
How Will the State Respond to Growing Antifa/Alt-Right Violence?
By Keith Preston The State exists for the purpose of maintaining a monopoly over the legitimate use of violence within a particular geographical territory in order to more effectively control resources, exploit subjects, protect an artificially privileged ruling class, and expand its own power both internally and externally.

No, It’s Not about “Globalism vs. Nationalism”
It’s about globalism/globalization vs non-state actors. Some thoughts on the present political polarization, geopolitical rivalries, the G20, and “populist-nationalism.” The present political polarization represents an effort by the various factions of the ruling class attempting to create constituencies for themselves. Most of the mainstream media represents the dominant […]

Trump to Arm Syrian Kurds, Even as Turkey Strongly Objects
How ironic that the overlords of the American Empire might be backing the Murray Bookchin-inspired libertarian socialist insurgents of the Kurdish territory. But this is actually in keeping with a strategy that I have long advocated for anarchist, anti-state and anti-imperalist movements around the world, i.e. building on […]

Trump Foreign Policy: Same Old, Same Old?

Preventing Civil War in the United States
Bill Lind has a proposal that is very similar to certain ATS positions. By William S. Lind Traditional Right Low-level Fourth Generation war has been underway in the U.S. for some time, largely in the form of gang activities. That is likely to continue, as will occasional terrorist […]
“Neo-Marxism” And “The New Middle East”
I agree with this analysis but disagree with its conclusions. Ultimately, our enemies are all states everywhere, and our greatest non-state rivals are the Wahhabist/Salafist renditions of Islam. I consider the struggles of the Kurds, particularly the PKK and allied tendencies, to essentially be the same as the […]
The Fourth Generation vs. an Alliance of States
I generally agree with Bill’s analysis here, although I’m personally rooting for the Fourth Generation forces. “…we need a new Triple Alliance or Quintuple Alliance, and here as so often in grand strategy context is important. It is, again, the need for all states to work together against […]

Cycle of Insurgency: The realities of “Martial Law”
By Justin King TheFifthColumnNews.Com Washington, DC (TFC) – The term “martial law” is thrown around so much that it seems to have lost its meaning. Martial law is military control of normal judicial functions. It doesn’t mean a curfew is in effect. It doesn’t mean the militarization of police. […]
Who the hell are ISIS, anyway?
Spy Culture ISIS are a terrifying, devastating Sunni militia that emerged out of the Iraqi insurgency and the anti-Assad jihad … except they aren’t particularly religious! And their origin story makes no sense. And militarily speaking they are a joke who could be wiped out within weeks if […]

Fourth-generation warfare and the end of the Westphalian Order-William S. Lind
Is War by Assassination on its Way?
By William S. Lind Traditional Right Russia intervened in Syria, did what it came to do–strengthen the position of the Assad government–and has partially withdrawn. Meanwhile, our war with ISIS continues its endless futility, an inevitable result of war by pinking. War by plinking, using airstrikes that blow […]
In a Rebel Camp in Colombia, Marx and Free Love Reign
By Nicholas Casey New York Times IN THE MOUNTAINS OF COLOMBIA — The rebel camp is a Communist time capsule. An old guerrilla fighter sings songs about Che Guevara on his guitar as a crowd leans in to listen, armed with rifles and grenades. Salaries do not exist […]
After Brussels Attack, Will Response Be More War or a Look at the Root Causes of Terrorism?
To ask the question is to answer it. See this discussion at Democracy Now. Western countries have looked the other way while their “allies” among the Gulf states have fueled Islamic extremists. At times, the West has directly or indirectly sought to fuel Islamic extremists as a weapon […]

How Not to Do It
By William S. Lind Traditional Right The protestors who took over the aptly-named Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in Burns, Oregon have garnered a fair amount of conservative empathy.

Ex-CIA’er to Ex-KGB’er: Defeat, Mr. Putin, lies in ignoring the Islamists’ words and waging less than total war
By Michael Scheuer Non-Intervention.Com From this distance, Mr. Putin, it appears that when you unleashed the Russian air force on 30 September 2015 you expected to save Bashir al-Assad’s regime and bring order to Syria and Iraq in a relatively short period of time. Well, the application of […]
