Ross Douthat & The Woke Corporate Consensus
Some actual commies discuss how the capitalist class is co-opting the protest movement.
Prominent Conservative Thinks Republicans Will Be ‘Hunted’ Under Biden
I am increasingly coming across this kind of rhetoric from both Red Tribe and Blue Tribe partisans: “They want to kill us!” Does the US have an Iraqi, Yugoslavian, Rwandan, Northern Irish, Lebanese, or India/Pakistan future awaiting?
America Can’t Take Another Four Years of This Lethal Idiot
The Red Tribe and Blue Tribe increasingly view each other as existential enemies. By Umair Haque Eudaimonia I’m going to say something that you probably already know. Another four years of this — the dystopia America’s become under Donald Trump — is unthinkable and nightmarish. Like I said, […]
‘We’ve got to do something’: Republican rebels come together to take on Trump
The Republican wing of the Neoliberal Centrist Party attacks the Trumpists. By Daniel Strauss The Guardian Just like in 2016, a faction of the Republican party has emerged to try to defeat Donald Trump in the upcoming presidential election.But unlike the last presidential race, where the effort never […]
The Articles of Unity – A Patriotic Plan to Save our Republic (Bret Weinstein)
Bret Weinstein seems to be a guy whose “heart is in the right place,” as a sentimentalist might say. His core idea is correct, i.e. building an anti-establishment movement that rejects incompetent/corrupt elites while rejecting dangerous authoritarians from the far-left and far-right.
Bret Weinstein Introduces the Unity 2020 Plan on Tucker Carlson Tonight – Jun 29, 2020
Almost half of BLM protesters are white; a plurality are suburbanites
I’ve noticed this as well. But unlike most commentators on the uprising, I would make a sharp distinction between the mainstream protest movement, conventional activism like BLM, the far-left/Antifa, the far-right/Boogaloo, statue vandalizers, and exaggerated sports rioters on one hand, and the actual uprising of the lumenproletariat on […]
#Unity2020 — is the “Darkhouse Duo” the bold plan America needs to initiate democracy reform?
Do Americans NEED to Choose Between Trump or Biden? #Unity2020
Hispanic Republicans? Yep, and they’re here to stay
Are Hispanic the new Italians? In recent years, I’ve noticed an increased number of prominent minority conservatives/Republicans. An Iraqi immigrant woman wants to challenge Ilhan Omar. A Jamaican immigrant woman planned to challenge Alexandria Ocasia-Cortez and dropped out. A Hispanic woman running for Congress in Florida bills herself […]
UC Berkeley History Professor’s Open Letter Against BLM, Police Brutality and Cultural Orthodoxy
I agree with some points made in this article and disagree with others. But I’d say many of the arguments made are beside the point. Whether one believes George Floyd was personally a nice guy or not, whether one thinks systemic racism is the sole explanation for the […]
Bret Weinstein breaks down Dark Horse Duo plan to save republic
Weinstein’s group has a proposal for a “radical center” third-party ticket featuring Andrew Yang and Admiral McRaven. Visiting Fellow Dr. Bret Weinstein at the James Madison Program at Princeton discusses why he is calling for unity of the center-left and center-right.
What ‘Left’ and ‘Right’ Really Mean
By Bellamy Fitzpatrick Invocations of ‘Left’ and ‘Right’ are extremely common in political discussions. Typically, they are deployed as hopelessly vague terms of abuse or goofy indications of team loyalty, unfortunately including among anarchists, libertarians, and other radicals. I have argued for years that these terms are so […]
The Coronavirus Is Also Spreading a Dark New Era of Neo-Feudalism
The important takeaways from Kotkin’s work are these three basic points: 1) class relations in developed societies are increasingly resembling those in traditional (feudal), early capitalist or “Third World” societies; 2) the oligarchs of the new high-tech industries and financial institutions have replaced the old bourgeoisie as the […]
Police Reform “Unlikely” Laments CNN (Told You So)
I disagree with some of the philosophical premises that Styx is arguing from in this, but much of his factual analysis is correct. He offers some advice that is worth heeding.
St. Louis man who went viral defending his property speaks out on ‘Tucker’
If opinion leaders, activists, “radicals,” BLMs, etc. are wise they will outspokenly oppose the criminal prosecution of these two. The last thing that needs to happen is for public support for repression to increase, for inter-tribal warfare to escalate, or for Red State/conservative middle-class Falangists to emerge. The […]
Will the Neocons Bait, Turn, Switch, and Purge the Antifa/SJWs While Suppressing the Lumpenproletariat?
This is important stuff. I recently put a couple of questions concerning current events to a well-known intellectual historian, a Jewish man whose parents fled Hungary during the rise of Hitler, and who is a specialist in the history of 20th-century totalitarian movements. His responses confirmed my suspicion […]
Northam extends state of emergency in Richmond, citing ‘civil unrest’;
Ironically, Virginia has a Democratic government that recently passed a bunch of “woke” legislation but is ranked 51st in the country, below the other 49 states and Washington, D.C, on the issue of workers’ rights. Thanks to the northern Virginia suburbs, Virginia is becoming the California of the […]
Newt Gingrich says 2020 is ‘the most important election since Lincoln’
Newt Gingrich is one of the most loathsome people in modern American political history, but he may be right that the 2020 election increasingly resembles the 1860 election in the sense of the existential questions that are involved. Newt may also be right that the victory of the […]
Where does the 2020 election stand — and how might it turn out?
What I find most interesting about the upcoming election is the way that the two sides now view each other as existential enemies. Whichever side wins, I’m positive the other side will challenge the legitimacy of the results. For any kind of parliamentary state to function, the losing […]
CHAZ and the Blue Tribe
Todd Lewis is joined by Keith Preston, Right Rumination and Swithun Dobson to discuss the current issue of the Blue Tribe.

Thürmer: We remember socialism and the time is working for us
It’s interesting how conservative this guy sounds about a lot of things. Special interview by soL with Gyula Thürmer, leader of the Hungarian Workers’ Party (Munkaspart). ICP, 5 September 2018 A delegation from the Hungarian Workers’ Party (Munkaspart), leaded by President Gyula Thürmer, paid a visit to Turkey […]
Nothing Succeeds Like Secession: Suggested Demands for CHOP From a Friendly Panarchist Ally
By Nicky Reid aka Comrade Hermit Exile in Happy Valley I have always been fascinated by secessionist movements. It goes back to my childhood love of maps, flags and geography. I use to spend hours poring over atlases and fixating on the strange autonomous zones that only existed […]
‘Master’ bedroom name to change due to overarching theme
As Krystal Ball recently said, “Capitalists are going to capitalist.” And what are these virtue-signaling realtors going to do to make housing more available or affordable to the poor communities of Houston, some of whom are actually black? Are they going to lower rents, reduce real estate sale […]
After weeks of protests, meaningful police reform appears unlikely
You don’t say? Imagine that. Analysis by Josh Campbell, CNN Security Correspondent The dramatic images rocked the nation — hundreds of thousands of people from all races taking to the streets across the United States, demanding an end to excessive police force against people of color. What began […]
“The New Jim Crow” Michelle Alexander VS. Jesse Lee Peterson on Mass Incarceration
An interesting debate between a black leftist and a black conservative. I would generally agree with Michelle Alexander’s thesis that the police/carceral state and prison-industrial complex is merely the modern version of American black slavery or Jim Crow. But where I would disagree is that I think her […]
Glenn Loury: ‘We’re Being Swept Along by Hysteria’ About Racism in America
A somewhat interesting interview with a leading black conservative. I would be inclined to argue that, at present, substantial sectors of the capitalist class (including some major capitalist entities) along with their allies in the new clerisy/new class that dominates the “ideas industries” are fueling anti-racism hysteria in […]
GOP Senator Questions if Fox News Even Wants Donald Trump Re-Elected
They don’t. The Trumpism that is on FAUX News is merely raw meat being thrown to the Republican “base” (i.e. useful idiots for the right-wing of the ruling class). FOX is the voice of the neocons. To a person, they hate Trump in what is a major heel […]
Who Are the Lumpenproletariat?
The lumpenproletariat was too scary even for bourgeois radicals like Marx (the son of a Prussian state solicitor, i.e. a district attorney) and Engels (the son of a wealthy industrialist). In 2020, the lumenproletariat of all creeds, colors, genders, and geographies, made its move, however meagerly, against the […]
Paget and Kim Iversen on Lockdowns, Protests, and Trump vs. Biden
A Libertarian Defense of CHAZ
By Stratton J. Davis Ever since the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone (CHAZ) was created in Seattle, it has been a prominent subject of discussion for many. The question usually being discussed is whether we should support it or not. While those on the left seem to be in […]
A Minneapolis Neighborhood Vowed to Check Its Privilege. It’s Already Being Tested.
This kind of like when Lenin referred to middle-class liberals as useful idiots for the revolution. If these do-gooder types can be guilt-shamed into anti-piggishness, fine. Whatever works. By Caitlin Dickerson New York Times MINNEAPOLIS — When Shari Albers moved three decades ago into Powderhorn Park, a tree-lined […]
FBI Posts Photos Of Far left Rioters, National Guard Deployed As Fanatics Plan To Tear Down Lincoln
Here it comes. The state attacks with the right hand and co-opts with the left hand. FBI Posts Photos Of Far left Rioters, National Guard Deployed As Fanatics Plan To Tear Down Lincoln. Trump announced last night hundreds of arrests of far left rioters over the destruction of […]
The Cringe Fringe Left Going After Christianity is a Massive Mistake
Indeed it is. What the totalitarian Left typically tries to do is ride the wave of popular rebellion to state power. But when they start attacking the religion is often when they start losing popular sympathy, and public opinion will then take a rightward turn. It happened in […]
BET’s Robert Johnson calls out Biden on ‘you ain’t black’, floats BLM party
That would be interesting. Krystal and Saagar react to BET Founder Robert Johnson say that Democrats and Joe Biden take black voters for granted.
Should ‘White Jesus’ Statues Come Down?
Atheist-leftist Kyle Kulinski defends the right of Christians to have a white Jesus image on private property.
Noam Chomsky: Trump Is the Worst Criminal in History
So, apparently, everyone from Genghis Khan to Hitler to Mao was just a prelude to the main event. When political rivals come to view each other as existential threats, it’s a sign that “democracy” is on its way out (see Carl Schmitt). I’m hearing this kind of rhetoric […]
The Five Dangers Facing the Lumpenproletariat
If recent events are a foreshadowing of events to come, which they may well be, it would seem that the lumpenproletariat faces five primary dangers when it comes to future revolutionary activity.
Republican establishment’s court strategy is TOTAL FAILURE
I am sometimes asked by leftists why, if I reject the left/right model of the political spectrum, I criticize the left more harshly or more frequently than the right. I don’t know if that’s true. I’ve actually had some hard words for the right over the years, mostly […]
Tucker: President Trump’s hope for re-election
Amidst the predictable stuff, one insight Carlson comes close to having is that the Trumpists do not represent the dominant faction of the ruling class, but an insurgency of neo-realists within the ruling class which recognizes that neoconservative/neoliberal paradigm is not sustainable in the long-run if the Empire […]
Cooptation as Ruling Class Strategy
Kudos to my old Internet “friend” Matthew Lyons. However oblivious he may be to the neo-Jacobin/neo-Maoist Blue Tribe Khomeinists, when it comes to the issue of ruling cooptation, he gets it. I agree with every word of this. Read the full article here. These two passages from the […]
As It Should Be…
I first started developing the ideas that I would later come to call “pan-secessionism in the mid-1990s after notice the emergence of the “right-wing” antigovernment movement associated with the militias, sovereign citizens, tax protestors, and other similar groups. Of course, much of the left and certainly liberal opinion […]
A former social justice warrior explains why social justice is just about power and control.
This is right on target. These neo-Maoist SJWs need to be kept as far away from the state as possible.
What Antifa Is, What It Isn’t, and Why It Matters
By Michael Kenney and Colin Clarke War on the Rocks As senior citizen Martin Gugino was lying in his hospital bed, suffering from a subdural hematoma, President Donald Trump took to Twitter to suggest that Gugino “could be an ANTIFA provocateur.” One day earlier, two Buffalo, New York, […]
Krystal Ball: Anatomy of a Tucker Carlson monologue
Krystal has a pretty good critique of the Red Tribe’s version of PC in this, although I think she understates the dangers of authoritarian leftism (see history) and the degree to which such things are being co-opted by the ruling class. It’s also interesting to observe that while […]
The Conservative Surrender
Tom Woods interviews Paul Gottfried about a new anthology in which I have a contribution. If you want to know who is pulling the strings of FOX News, you need to read this book. Listen here. With the present pitiful showing by conservatives as the backdrop, Paul Gottfried […]
Populism, or ‘Anti-System Politics’?
On this episode Mark talks with Jonathan Hopkin, author of ‘Ant-System Politics: The Crisis of Market Liberalism in Rich Democracies.’ Unlike most analyses of populism and the breakdown of party systems, Hopkin argues that the way countries’ have governed their markets in the last 30 years has shaped […]
Krystal Ball Defends Working with Fascists — Sorry, “Right-Wing Populists”
Poor Krystal. LOL.
Krystal Ball & Other “Anti-Woke Populists” Enable the Far-Right
It figures the SJW Left would oppose the one “big media” program that comes close to taking class issues seriously.
