Sargon Talks to Activist Who Worked With Yvette Felarca
A former Antifa embraces what amounts to the ATS position.
Left and Right: The Prospects for Liberty
It’s always great to go back and revisit this classic essay by Murray Rothbard that I think offers some of the best analysis of modern ideological history yet devised. In this work, Rothbard is analyzing the origin and meaning of the terms Left and Right, arguing correctly that […]
Revisions and Dissents: Essays
I highly recommend this book for anyone who wants to know what the true intellectual Right actually is. And I say that not just because there is a chapter discussing my own work where Dr. Gottried graciously compares me with Noam Chomsky, William Appleman Williams, C. Wright Mills, […]
Top 10 Ways to Fix the Criminal Justice System
While many of these suggestions may be reasonable as far as modest reforms go, and some of these proposals are actually pretty far reaching, one thing that many “liberal” criminal justice reformers seem to have trouble figuring out is the need for fewer laws in the first place. […]
Alt-Right and the Left’s response – Angela Nagle about ‘Kill all Normies’
The Internet is the battleground for the revival of culture wars, says author and journalist Angela Nagle in her recently published book Kill All Normies. In De Balie Nagle chronicles the rise of the alt-right and how the worst of the internet went mainstream. But she doesn’t spare […]
The Alt-Right: History, Ideology, and the Future of a Fascist Movement
An interesting and generally accurate discussion of the Alt-Right from a far left perspective. As one who was present at the time of the founding of the Alt-Right, and has remained peripherally associated with the Alt-Right milieu ever since, I have developed my own perspective on the role […]
Praise of Folly Podcast Interview #14: Shayne Hunter, Ex-Antifa
Todd Lewis and Keith Preston interview Shayne Hunter, an ex-Antifa organizer.
Praise of Folly Podcast #37: October Revolution 100 Years in Review
Todd Lewis is joined by Coach Red Pill and Keith Preston to discuss the October Revolution and its historical significance.
Too Quickly Forgotten: Communism’s Corpses
Isn’t it interesting that the Antifa just can’t seem to get all that worked up about any of this? By Doug Bandow CATO Institute Among America’s more important actors and singers is Paul Robeson, born a century ago. An impressive talent who struggled against pervasive racism, Robeson would […]
“Antifa Activists As The Truest Defenders Of Free Speech” a.k.a. “Work Makes You Free”
And the North Koreans are the truest defenders of “democracy,” no doubt, just like “work makes you free.” I am posting this here in order to provide an illustration of the delusional nonsense that regrettably dominates much of the “far left” anarchist milieu (although this guy is arguably […]
Arcane Semantics: Keith Preston – Tribalism, Anti-Statism & 4th Generation Warfare
A recent interview. Listen here.
President Trump’s Fateful Choice
The Trump administration is Republican business as usual, as virtually all serious observers predicted it would be. The great thing about the Trump presidency is not only is Trump generally unpopular outside of his dying right-wing of the WASP middle class “base,” but he is demonstrating that Presidents […]
Is Libertarian Socialism Compatible with Human Nature?
Todd Lewis makes the case for libertarian socialism. Classical Theist says no.
Laci Green interviewed by Dave Rubin: Red Pilling, Sex, and Constructive Dialogue
Laci Green (YouTube Creator) joins Dave Rubin live in studio to discuss social justice warriors, politics and her recent awakening, gender, sex, and more. Subscribe: http://www.youtube.com/subscription_c…
Hans-Hermann Hoppe, Libertarianism and the “Alt-Right”
Apparently, Hoppe is still taking the paleo line as far as advancing libertarianism is concerned. I am increasingly skeptical of this idea given that most rightists seem to be tribal-nationalists first and/or cultural traditionalists first, and libertarians at best a distant second (or third, fourth, or not at […]
Dave Rubin with Jordan Peterson: Free Speech, Psychology, Gender Pronouns
Not Quite What Uncle Joe Had in Mind
Someone should do rewrites of these old Communist speeches using modern leftist rhetoric with all kinds of references to transphobia and microagressions. That would be hilarious. “Party comrades, in our peoples’ struggle against the hegemony of heteronormativity we endured the challenges of infinite microagressions that have been foisted […]
Was Karl Marx Right About Anything?
This is an interesting discussion by Tom Woods exploring the similarities and differences between Marxist and Austrian class theory. The basis of the discussion is an article by Hans Hermann Hoppe suggesting that Marx was essentially correct about everything but the labor theory of value. This analysis of […]
How Long Can Americans Go on Hating the President and Each Other?
The money quote, and the main reason why most US political factions are worthless: “Unfortunately, most Americans do not bat an eye at the worst offenses committed by the presidency, namely the killing of millions in undeclared wars of choice with nations who have never attacked the United […]
Why the Left Must Confront the Cult of Identity Politics
The money quote: “The bourgeois hijacking of the left is apparently complete.” By Andrew Doyle Spiked od is dead and identity fills the vacuum.’ So says Riya Zachariassen, a character in Salman Rushdie’s new novel The Golden House, who holds a senior position at the ‘Museum of Identity’. […]
Yes, We Are
The Right-Hand Sock Puppet is in Charge
Words That Lie: The New Soviets
By William S. Lind Traditional Right All ideologies take certain words that have commonly understood definitions and give them new code word definitions with different meanings for those in the know. When the ideologues speak, ordinary people get one message while followers of the ideology get another. In […]
Nazism and Fascism Are Dead
By William S. Lind Traditional Right On both sides of the political spectrum the words “Nazi” and “Fascist” have come in common use. I have bad news for both the nuts carrying swastika flags and the thugs known as the “Antifa” (for the “Anti-fascists”): Nazism and Fascism are […]
Antifa vs. Neocon
An antifa lunatic debates a neocon mouthpiece. Watch the train wreck unfold.
A Native American former Antifa turned National Socialist
This is an interesting interview with a Native American US Army veteran and former Antifa turned National Socialist. Listen here. The politics aren’t really my cup of tea, but there’s a lot of interesting information and ideas discussed in this.
Trump supporters just doxxed thousands of anti-racist protesters as part of a disturbing harassment campaign
More of the usual nonsense. The bottom line is that nothing productive will ever be achieved until dissidents and radicals are able to move past the usual left/right, red/blue, Nazi/Antifa, white privilege/Jewish conspiracy, free market/more government paradigms, and recognize that the fight is against a global system that […]
Robert Stark interviews Kevin Lynn of Progressives for Immigration Reform
The Stark Truth. Listen here. Robert Stark and co-host Sam Kevorkian talk to Kevin Lynn. Kevin is Chairman of Progressives for Immigration Reform and blogs at the CENTER FOR PROGRESSIVE URBAN POLITICS.

Liberals sick of the alt-left are taking ‘the red pill’
Cracks in the PC coalition continue to show. By Elizabeth Ames FOX News The mainstream media failed to see the rise of Donald Trump in 2016. Now it’s overlooking another grassroots movement that may soon be of equal significance— the growing number of liberals “taking the red pill.” […]
Robert Stark interviews Keith Preston about Distributism
The Stark Truth Robert Stark talks to Keith Preston of Attack the System for a written interview. Topics include:
The Establishment Center is the Real Enemy
Some interesting comments from Lorenzo Komboa Ervin posted below. I would agree with much of his analysis, except to say that Trump is not a fascist. He’s more like the Republicans we had back in the 70s like Nixon and Nelson Rockefeller (which is bad enough). It’s possible […]
What’s the alt-right, and how large is its audience?
Many liberals and leftists that I know are currently in a state of panic over the rise of the Alt-Right, which they predictably regard as the onset of the Fourth Reich. In reality, the Alt-Right is a very small movement that is made to seem much, much larger […]
Battlefield America Is the New Normal: We’re Not in Mayberry Anymore
Once again, John Whitehead shows himself to be one of the most important commentators out there. By John W. Whithead The Rutherford Institute “If we’re training cops as soldiers, giving them equipment like soldiers, dressing them up as soldiers, when are they going to pick up the mentality […]
“They have no allegiance to liberal democracy”: an expert on antifa explains the group
Because they are revolutionary Marxist totalitarians. I am likewise opposed to liberal democracy, but for polar opposite reasons than Marxists, Nazis, or Islamists. Liberal democracy was an important historic achievement, but only in a limited way. The overthrow of the traditional ancient regime model of society by the […]
Here’s the best thing the media can do when reporting on ‘antifa’
The naivete of this writer is extraordinary. There really is such as thing as “left fascism,” and a mere 30 years ago it ruled 1/3 of the world’s nations, sometimes in alliance with right-wing fascists (e.g. the relationship between Franco’s Spain and Castro’s Cuba, Communist support for Peronism, […]
Enough with the blue-baiting: The biggest threat on campus has nothing to do with free speech
There are plenty of examples of universities and colleges imposing de facto censorship on leftists as well as rightists. Some cases in point can be found here, here, and here. I think the problem is more of one where today we have mega-institutions like universities and corporations that […]
Ideology as Addiction
There are an awful lot of people nowadays, many of our “anarchists” as much as anyone, who need to take the message of this piece to heart. What we witnessing today is the proliferation of cults committed to one or another fanatical ideology. Of Two Minds Solutions abound, […]
Fascists of the Left
Some comments from a Facebook friend on Antifa: Just because a group claims to oppose fascism, that doesn’t make their fascistic behavior any less fascistic. Black bloc so-called anarchists train in organized street fighting, wear uniforms which simultaneously shield them from accountability and mark them as an organized […]
The Ugly Side of Antifa
By Leighton Woodhouse Yesterday, at the anti-Alt-Right rally in Berkeley, I watched groups of masked Antifa members in Black Bloc formation swarm individuals who were apparently antagonizing them, and pummel them with their fists, feet, and flagpoles. When the victims tried to escape, they were run down, and in at […]
Anarcho-fascism: Nature Reborn
It had to happen, although I’ve actually written about “anarcho-fascism” in the past myself. In some ways, “anarcho-fascism” may be a useful counterpart to actual Fascism just as anarcho-communism is a useful counterpart to actual Communism, and just as Antifa may be a useful counterpart to the neo-Nazis […]
An Aesthetic of Liberty
I have my differences with Jeffrey Tucker, but this is a timely article calling for the need to develop an anti-statist centrism in response to the present day polarization and without falling into the various right-wing and left-wing deviations. By Jeffrey A. Tucker Foundation for Economic Education Liberty-minded […]
Squaring off against Fascism Critical Reflections from the Front Lines: An Interview
An interesting interview with an Antifa who was present in Charlottesville. This also makes for an interesting counterpart to the account of the Charlottesville conflagration by Matt Parrott of Traditionalist Workers Party that I posted previously. Yet another interesting observation is that both sides are claiming victory in […]
State Censorship, Corporate Censorship: A Libertarian View
Sean Gabb has a timely article on the problem of censorship being outsourced from the state to state-allied institutions in present day society. This should motivate many right-leaning libertarians to rethink the overly neat and tidy “public vs. private” dichotomy that right-libertarians frequently embrace. Instead, we need to […]
‘Designating’ Antifa a Terrorist Organization Is a Bad Idea
As I predicted, state repression against both the Alt-Right and Antifa is on the way. By Andrew C. McCarthy National Review State and local police, not the feds, are the best protection we have against domestic terror. And we need the feds to fight foreign terror. The violent […]
A Blue Texas? Keep Dreaming
This article is from 2012 but it raises an important issue that was largely ignored in the 2016 election, and that is the fact that even though Texas is now a “majority-minority” state, Trump still beat Clinton by nine percentage points. A standard presumption on both the Left […]
A Beating in Berkeley
What I find most interesting about this article is that the “right-wingers” being described would have qualified as being on the Left, even the far Left, only 10-20 years ago. This is in keeping with my general theory that American society has shifted far to the left culturally […]
They Staged a Bum Fight…and They Lost
This is an interesting account of Charlottesville by Matt Parrot of the Traditionalist Worker Party, one of the right-wing groups involved in the melee. As a caveat, I know Matt personally, I met him at a National Policy Institute event in 2011, and he produced some of my […]
Who was responsible for the violence in Charlottesville? Here’s what witnesses say
The Los Angeles Times was the only mainstream media outlet that I could find that made any reasonable effort to understand what actually happened in Charlottesville without moralistic grandstanding, and by including the alt-right perspective. The Los Angeles Times has been the only mainstream media outlet that has […]
Charlottesville: Violence in the Streets | Faith Goldy and Stefan Molyneux
Faith Goldy along with Ford Fischer provided some of the best on the ground coverage of Charlottesville of any independent media sources. Faith Goldy is apparently some kind of Lauren Southern-like “alt-lite” figure that was associated with Rebel Media. Apparently, she was recently fired for giving an interview […]
Charlottesville rally violence: How we got here
This feature from CNN is fairly representative of the mainstream media narrative on Charlottesville. By Eliot McLauglin (CNN)Despite the outrage and uproar, everyone had to know the protests were coming to Charlottesville, Virginia, over the weekend — and that they would get out of hand. This is how […]
