Many of the arguments made in this piece are reasonable and relatively accurate in terms of criticisms of the Right, but the article is completely lacking in insight and self-awareness regarding criticisms of the Left. By Adam Ramsay Open Democracy While the powerful try to silence those who […]

It’s interesting to compare this piece by Williamson likening the J6ers to the Bolshies with Michael Lind’s piece at Tablet comparing the BLM/Antifa/whoever with the Jacobins. Both of these analogies may work on a remote or peripheral level, but those who are always looking to foreign examples to […]
The latest neocon front project. By Josh Hammer, Newsweek In the 2016 Republican Party presidential primary, decades of dissonance between the party’s aggrieved grassroots and its blinkered elite spilled out into the open. For years, the chasm widened between the GOP’s heartland base, the river valley-dwelling “Somewheres” from […]
By Bryan Caplan, EconoLib A few weeks ago, Robin Hanson posed a lunchtime challenge: What is the difference between Left and Right? The point of the question, of course, is not to explain how every self-styled leftist differs from every self-styled rightist. The point is to identify unifying […]

By David Cole, Taki’s Throughout my life, I’ve often been accused of lacking empathy. It’s a critique that goes back to high school, when I was a compassionless bully. And I’ll admit, I do have an empathy problem, but only when it comes to imbeciles. I just can’t […]
By Keith Preston Anyone who follows the mainstream media, Congress, or elite intellectual circles knows that the Blue Tribe is increasingly fearful of a right-wing coup by the Trumpists with the common refrain being that January 6 was only a warm-up event for the real thing. I’m going […]

By Charlie Lee, Springtime of Nations In a previous video “Yes, Anarcho-Capitalists are Anarchists,” the case was made that anarcho-capitalism is a continuation of the historical anarchist tradition of Proudhon, Bellaguerrigue, Tucker and the rest, contrary to claims by ancoms that anarcho-capitalism has nothing to do with historical […]
By Byron, Springtime of Nations This is the transcript of a video that appeared on the Springtime Of Nations youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hJb2-bsWP6Y If you’ve ever seen socialists talk about anarcho-capitalism you’ve probably noticed that they are very insistent that it is not a form of anarchism.

Walter Block correctly predicted the fragmentation of libertarianism when he wrote this back in 2010.

This interview with Yarvin, the de facto intellectual leader of the “neo-reactionaries,” is interesting but it also demonstrates the limitations of that milieu. What Yarvin offers here is a high-quality and reasonably accurate analysis of the socio-cultural and political role of the technocratic class, or what has been […]

Interesting. Will this be a real opposition project or just another neocon-coopted, incel-infested jerk-off project? Probably the latter. I actually like Thiel’s seasteading ideas. If he stuck to that I wouldn’t have much of a problem with him. By Kit Wilson, The Spectator A strange new ideology has […]

This is the program of the recent “national conservatism” conference. Notice how Peter Thiel seems to be running the show, and the participants are the usual collection of dupes you find in movements funded by neocons and right-wing capitalist oligarchs. There is very little difference between this and […]
Apparently, these are the folks behind “national conservatism.” While much of the Silicon Valley oligarchy has aligned itself with Wall Street and the traditional northeastern establishment, it appears at least some among them are trying to work the right-wing angle as well. Peter Thiel was a Trump backer, […]
