Conservative Policy, Populist Attitude

Benny Shapiro, a former Never Trumper, recognizes Trumpism has been totally and predictably coopted by the neocon/plutocrat/Zionist alliance that controls the GOP. By Ben Shapiro National Review The danger is that the latter will toxify the former. This was supposed to be the year conservatism saw its end. […]

When Conservatives Become Outcasts

The Southern Poverty Law Center now attacks religious conservatives and mainstream political conservatives in the same way it attacks white supremacist organizations. The further leftward the wider society, government and culture drift, the more people and groups with “conservative” values will be on the receiving end of such […]

The ‘anti-imperialism’ of idiots

This is an interesting blog with an extensive amount of commentary about Syria. This blogger seems to hold to some kind of anti-Assad, Syrian leftist opposition perspective, and seems a bit soft on Western intervention. One thing I am not getting from this blog is an explanation of […]

This Revolution Is Non-Ideological

Absolutely correct. Ultimately, the battle is not between East and West, which merely represent different wings of the international elite. Nor it is about Democrats and Republicans, which merely represent different wings of the domestic elite. Nor is it about the “far left” or the “far right,” both […]

How State-Capitalism Co-opts the Left

Some interesting observations from Troy Southgate on why the Left fails through co-optation, and why the Western world is drifting leftward culturally even as state-capitalism is tightening its grip. “The concluding paragraph in ‘Cultures of Post-War British Fascism’ (Routledge, 2015), by John E. Richardson of Loughborough University, in […]

Goodbye the Left

From a leftist who learned the hard way. I would actually argue that all modern political philosophy is leftist, at least from John Locke onward. So if you’re not a throne and altar traditionalist, a religious theocrat, or a revolutionary rightist (fascist,  national socialist), then you’re a leftist. […]

Power and the Main Threat to Liberty

Jeffrey Tucker responds to Goofy Gillis. By Jeffrey Tucker American Institute for Economic Research William Gillis’s review of my book Right-Wing Collectivism is complimentary but critical on many points and mainly on one central point to which he continually returns. He believes that my focus on state power […]

Right-Wing Collectivism

Goofy Gillis reviews Jeffrey Tucker. By William Gillis Center for a Stateless Society There are few figures the alt-right hate more than Jeffrey Tucker — which may be something of a plot twist, given his alleged hand in the racist Ron Paul newsletters of the 80s. Yet Tucker […]

Is Tribalism Really on the Rise? Meh.

The rise of the Meh Tribe? By Heather Wilhelm National Review Fury and finger-pointing are all the rage on social media. Plenty of Americans just shrug. ‘By now we all understand that America is in the grip of political tribalism,” Yale professor Amy Chua wrote in the February […]

No, Fascism Can’t Happen Here

An excellent analysis based on a serious understanding of how modern liberal-democratic corporate-public administration states actually work. By Tyler Cowen The Atlantic And the reason has nothing to do with Donald Trump. Could it ever happen here? Fascism, that is. That question is a standard refrain from American […]

Nihilist Hedonism; or Cyberpunk as Eutopia

An interesting application of Stirnerite principles. Anarcho-Dictator Instead of a Blog I do not believe in objective standards, norms, ends, means or values; but I have a strong preference for the combination of hardass and self-indulgent traits one finds in the mercenary reaver cultures of places like medieval […]

“Disunite and Be Dominated!”

Baraka was one of the great American black nationalist writers of the 20th century. His point is this statement is what I have always said as well. Merely promoting demographic conflict helps rather than hurts the system. Look at how easily the system has coopted anti-racism, feminism, gay […]

The Alt-Right is Gay

One thing about European New Right philosophy that I think is right is that America is a completely separate culture and civilization from Europe even if it is a derivative in many ways. Interestingly, North American New Righters try to be more European culturally and intellectually even if […]
