The full transcript of my recent interview with the C-Realm podcast. KMO: You are listening to the CRealm podcast. I’m your host, KMO. And I’m speaking with Keith Preston of Attack the System. Keith, welcome to the CRealm podcast. Keith Preston: Thank you for having me. KMO: I […]
Meanwhile, the neocons are planning a third party strategy of their own. If either of these two third party schemes were to become a permanent reality, it would essentially render the Red Tribe incapable of gaining a national electoral majority, which would ensure permanent Blue Tribe dominance. However, […]
The case for liberaltarianism. One of the great benefits of pan-anarchism, pan-secessionism, and pan-decentralism is that many different approaches to social organization can be accommodated. By Jerry Taylor Niskanen Center My argument last week about why freedom is advanced by preventing private racial discrimination created a bit of […]
Listen to the full podcast as TheRightStuff.Biz. Rebel Yell 20160318 109: Attack the System, Keith Preston
This was one of my most popular recent posts on social media with favorable comments coming from leftists, libertarians, conservatives, fascists, anarchists, national-anarchists, and alt rightists alike. “I’m all for protesting against politicians. Let the Left protest Trump and let the Right protest Sanders. I’d love to see […]
My recent appearance on Alt Right. Listen here. Andy and Colin are joined by political analyst Keith Preston of Attack the System to talk about the Trump phenomenon and why a man who essentially makes sensible, middle-of-the-road statements so successfully “triggers” the media, the establishment, and the Left, […]
Trump is apparently splintering the televangelist sector as well. Maybe the conspiracy theorists who say the Trump campaign is plot by Democrats to undermine the GOP and get Hillary elected are correct, lol. By Amy Sullivan and John Ward Yahoo.Com To the astonishment of his rivals and the […]
Maybe”young voters” understand that while Sanders may be the least bad alternative, the whole show is a farce and don’t want to be bothered with this crap, and prefer to do something productive instead like go to a rave party. That a self-avowed socialist is a credible presidential […]
By Justin Raimondo Antiwar.Com On June 14, 1918, a nineteen year old Italian soldier by the name of Bernardo Vicario was ordered by his commander, Carl Rigoli, to carry out a curious task. Outnumbered and outgunned, the Italian forces would soon be hit with a furious bombardment that […]
Whoever guessed a (probably) mentally unstable billionaire plutocrat would be the one to take down the neocons? By Justin Raimondo Antiwar.Com March 1, 2016, will go down in history as the day the incubus of neoconservatism was banished from the Republican party – and, in effect, destroyed as […]
If Donald Trump is able to single-handedly undermine both neoconservatism and “movement conservatism,” and subsequently cause the GOP to go down in flames in a general election, he will have performed a valuable service. The right-wing will then have nowhere to go other than to a more radical […]
If this poll is at all accurate it would seem to confirm what I’ve been saying for a while, i.e. that the US has leaped sharply leftward over the past decade, as evidenced by the apparent fact that a self-proclaimed socialist or a woman who personifies 70s feminism […]
I don’t personally have a horse in this race as I am neither a Christian nor a white nationalist, or even a rightist in any conventional sense, but as one interested in ideologies I think this would still make for an interesting debate. By Brock Bellerive In Praise […]
Listen here. KMO talks to Keith Preston of Attack the System about the historical trajectory of the Neocons and why they’re likely to be moving back to the Democratic party if and when the current Republican coalition fractures. Keith also describes the roll of “useful idiots” on both […]
This article from World Nut Daily raises an interesting question. It would appear that in regions of the U.S. where the Blue Tribe is especially dominant, there is an effort to fully eradicate references to the traditional American past. Even in the conservative South, there have efforts to […]
This article by Jeffrey Tucker is a similar to this piece I did about a decade ago. By Jeffrey Tucker Foundation of Economic Education Maybe you have noticed the strangely implausible similarities between the cobbled-together platforms of Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump. On the surface, they represent opposite […]
Are the growing ranks of independents the future demographic base of the Grey Tribe? By Jeffrey Jones Gallup.Com Record 43% of Americans are political independents Democrats maintain edge among those with a party preference Democratic advantage smaller in 2014 than in 2013 PRINCETON, N.J. — An average 43% […]
This is an interesting piece from Scott McConnell. While Team Red and Team Blue are still at each others’ throats, both are increasingly divided internally along class lines, and the insurgents are gaining. By Scott McConnell The American Conservative goldenalcoff / Flickr It has been snowing since Monday morning, […]
I’ve always argue that the last thing libertarians who want to achieve political success should ever do is position themselves as just another branch of “free market conservatives” preaching bourgeois economics. The failure Rand Paul indicates that, for better or worse, I was probably right. Case in point: […]
What actual socialists think of New Dealer Bernie Sanders. Bill Scher Politico.Com erhaps the most astonishing aspect of the 2016 presidential race is that Bernie Sanders, somehow, has made “socialism” a safe word in American politics. Nearly 100 years ago Socialist presidential candidate Eugene Debs had to campaign […]
Richard Spencer performs an interesting and (probably) correct autopsy on the mainstream libertarian movement now that what Ron Paul got rolling has been eclipsed by Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders. By Richard Spencer Radix Journal
A good overview of the spectrum of U.S. politics. Lecture by Jeff Deist
This looks to be interesting. PBS.Org A new revolutionary culture emerged in the turbulent 1960s, and the Black Panther Party was at the vanguard. Weaving together a treasure trove of rare footage with the voices of a diverse group of people who were there, Stanley Nelson tells the […]
Because gender equality means that everyone must be obligated to serve the empire. The latest in totalitarian humanism. By Dan Lamonthe Washington Post The top officers in the Army and Marine Corps testified on Tuesday that they believe it is time for women to register for future military […]
A must read. By Andrew Walker Peruse your Facebook or Twitter feed over the last couple of days and you’ll probably find a liberal friend or two snickering about “#YallQaeda.” Dig a little deeper and you’ll even find people muttering about domestic terrorism, sedition, and the need to […]
Everyone is talking about the split that has emerged among the Repugnicans between the neoconservative and corporatist elites and the populist-nationalist “base.” But it appears an interesting split is emerging among Democraps as well. These two articles by Matt Fortney on his recent visits to a Sanders rally […]
This latest poll from Gallup is consistent with what one would expect given the prevailing demographic, generational, cultural, economic and partisan trends in the wider society, as this recent article by Peter Beinart indicates. Contrary to the hysteria of the Left, Donald Trump is not ushering in a […]
Here’s the transcript. To the People of Europe, Fate lays upon me the task of writing you from distant shores. My name is Augustus Invictus, and I am a candidate for the United States Senate. Though I am an American, I am by blood a son of Europe. […]
I don’t personally have a dog in this fight. I sympathize with anyone who is in revolt against the U.S. federal system, left, right, or center. Other than that, it’s none of my business how Oregonians organize their own economy or approach to ecological issues. Here’s another piece […]
This article by Peter Beinart confirms what I’ve been saying for some years now. Beinart’s argument is consistent with just about every demographic, cultural, generational, economic, and partisan trend. By Peter Beinart The Atlantic Republicans may have a lock on Congress and the nation’s statehouses—and could well win […]
Hopefully. Politico.Com Nothing like Donald Trump has ever hit a major American political party: A blow-dried celebrity gleefully smashing one modern Republican certainty after the other. As he defies his own party on tax orthodoxy, on healthcare and on bending a knee to Roger Ailes, he’s exposed the […]
An interesting piece by William Domhoff explaining the differences between the Left and the Right, many of which, following the insights of Vilfredo Pareto, appear to be psychological in nature. By G. William Domhoff The aim of this essay is to provide a big-picture canvas of the wider […]
Says supposed “anarchist” Spencer Sunshine: “The movement’s beliefs are a grab bag of toxic politics which commonly include: opposition to any restrictions on gun ownership; anti-immigrant xenophobia and Islamophobia; unrestricted use of private and public land; legal strategies of right-wing decentralization; a commitment to completely unregulated capitalism; various […]
There are many things that I admire about Noam Chomsky, but this is absolute crap. That this man is considered the world’s leading exponent of left-anarchism is pathetic. If someone of his stature had spend his career promoting actual libertarian socialism and anti-state radicalism rather than Keynesian liberal […]
Lingit Latseen In a video released the evening of his death, LaVoy Finicum, the man who was shot and killed on Tuesday in Harney County, addresses some concerns voiced by Natives regarding the occupation. In the video he voices his support for the establishment of independent, sovereign tribal […]

Tom Woods interviews George Hawley on his new book. Listen here. The official conservative movement has its leftist opponents, but more interesting are its critics on the right, who are contemptuous of its think-tanks, its magazines, even its ideas. We discuss plenty of these people and groups in […]
This is an old article from a 1987 edition of the Detroit-based anarchist magazine Fifth Estate. Another bit of trivia is that the author of this piece was eventually elected to the Michigan state legislature as a libertarian-leaning Republican. By Greg Kaza Radical Archives The rhetoric is anti-state. […]

The New Republic takes on National Review‘s take on Trump. By Jeet Heer The New Republic National Review is the great intellectual gatekeeper of the American right, a journal of opinion that has long served as the arbiter of what counts as respectable conservative thought. Throughout its six-decade […]
It is understandable that Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders have been able to garner a tremendous amount of support among many who are inclined to think ill of the system (which is rapidly becoming a majority of the U.S. population). Both men are a refreshing alternative to the […]
This is beautiful. The entire array of the neoconservative/”movement conservative”/Republican alliance is squirming over Trump, which means they obviously think he’s a genuine threat to their hegemony on the American “right.” The best possible scenario that can come out of the Trump candidacy would be for the GOP […]
A collection of article arguing for orthodox anarcho-capitalism against left-libertarianism. We the Individuals Scratch an egalitarian, and you will inevitably find a statist. -Murray Rothbard Sometime ago, this site published an article by the title of “Left-Libertarianism, A Love Story”. The article, in hindsight, was a disappointment. The […]
This is a great interview. Listen here. Neoconservative commentator Jonah Goldberg says we shouldn’t use the term “neoconservative” anymore.

Interesting political autobiography from a somewhat leading theorist of left-anarchism. There’s really nothing in here that’s incompatible with the ATS program, except for the idea that his outlook does not need to be universalized. By Wayne Price The Anarchist Library I came to this set of ideas by […]
