The problem with David’s analysis in this is that he seems fairly subjective and one-dimensional in his criticisms of “conspiracy theories.” The fact that the last three years of cable news (excluding FOX) was devoted to Russiagate hysteria shows that liberals and the Left are just as prone […]
By Sarah Stillman The New Yorker On March 14th, Roslyn Crouch, a mother of twelve, left her house in New Orleans to stock up on toilet paper and canned goods, and didn’t return. Crouch, who is forty-two, with slender braids down to her knees, had been feeling anxious […]
As usual, the Right is better at criticizing the government and the media (see the Tucker Carlson video I just posted) while the Left (like these Jacobin boys) are better are criticizing the corporations/capitalist class. Fortunately, it’s not a question of either/or. We should be attacking ridiculous government […]
By William S. Smith The American Conservative Fittingly, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) was founded by a grandnephew of Napoleon Bonaparte, Attorney General Charles J. Bonaparte, during the Progressive Era. Bonaparte was a Harvard-educated crusader. As the FBI’s official history states, “Many progressives, including (Teddy) Roosevelt, believed […]
I have always said that “anti-hate speech” is just a mask for political repression. States and ruling classes always attempt to justify repression by appealing to the dominant moral paradigm. In past times, they would use religion as a justification for suppressing ostensible heretics. When church and state […]
Sanders is an illustration of why social democrats fail. They treat topics like state repression and imperialism as peripheral issues as opposed to what they think really matters, which is more free stuff.
If only it were true. Localized quarantines are what we should have been doing all along. It’s ridiculous to expect rural counties to abide by the same rules as New York and Los Angeles. Some states are using science to guide their decisions and cautiously beginning to relax […]
Another Jeffrey Tucker article questioning the sanctity of lockdown orthodoxy. By Jeffrey Tucker The year was 1957.
I’ve seen some of the circles around C4SS and other supposed “left-libertarians” bashing Jeffrey Tucker (whose orthodox libertarianism I don’t personally share, although I am in favor of all forms of voluntary libertarianism and anarchism) for questioning the sanctity of the lockdowns. By Jeffrey Tucker Many people infected […]
It figures that Singapore would be in the vanguard of techno-therapeutic-fascism. It’s also interesting how so many American right-libertarians engage in such a pathetic veneration of Singapore (“‘They got low taxes, man!”) just as so many American leftists engage in an equally pathetic veneration of Cuba (“They got […]
The Chinahate that is going on now, like the parallel Russiahate, is just a rhetorical trick the system is using to deflect attention from its own incompetence and malevolence. Not only is China a province in global capitalism that provides cheap labor and cheap loans for Western governments […]
“We don’t need no stinkin’ 13th Amendment!”
Carlson calls out the federal police state about 3 minutes into this. Ilhan Omar’s response is disappointing and regrettably rooted in partisan/cultural/tribal politics than actual opposition to the system. From Trump-loyaltist three percenters to Democrat-voting Marxists, it’s interesting how few supposed “radicals” actually oppose the system.
By Troy Southgate Tens of millions are labouring under the false impression that the current state of emergency is about to come to an end and that things will soon return to ‘normal’. If these people had paid more attention to history, rather than eagerly consuming anything which […]
By Troy Southgate When governments impose a state of emergency it is simply a method of regaining or increasing control. Following on from that, I would even argue that we entered this precarious stage in our history during the insurrections of the eighteenth, nineteenth and twentieth centuries, when […]
Krystal and Saagar discuss recent arrests of the father and son that shot Ahmaud Arbery, after newly released video from Feb. went viral this week that showed them hunt Arbery down and kill him.
Marcus Arbery Sr. recalls the memory of his son on the day of his 26th birthday. Arbery Sr. called his son’s death a “modern-day lynching” following the arrest of two men charged with Ahmaud Arbery’s murder.
Warren Norred, attorney for Shelley Luther, joins Tucker Carlson to discuss the decision by a Texas judge to jail his client for reopening her salon during the COVID-19 pandemic.
It seems that most people even on the far left and far right have a limited perception and definition of what concepts like the “state,” “ruling class,” or “power elite” actually mean. It would also seem that we need a much more modernized and expansive definition of these […]
This is funny. The elite think that they are above the rules they set for the masses.
The Mindcrime Liberty Show with Swithun Dobson and Tim Patton interviews Keith Preston on the left and there relationship with the Police state. Our guest, Keith Preston, is the author of books such as Thinkers against Modernity as well as Attack the System who can be found at […]
The ACLU and other similar groups are good at defending civil liberties valued by liberals and leftists. There are other groups that defend civil liberties that are valued by conservatives and libertarians. Ideally, an anarchist mass movement would have the defense of ALL civil liberties as its primary […]
Murdered by the state. By Angelina Chapin The Cut A month ago, Andrea Circle Bear gave birth while on a ventilator after catching the coronavirus behind bars. On Tuesday, the 30-year-old died, making her the first woman in federal prison to be killed by COVID-19, according to press […]
Check out Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, and Part 6. By Nicky Reid aka Comrade Hermit Exile in Happy Valley As the smoke slowly settles on the bucolic hills of my farmland community and many others, the Coronavirus nightmare may be far from […]
By Matt Taibbi Earlier this week, Atlantic magazine – fast becoming the favored media outlet for self-styled intellectual elites of the Aspen Institute type – ran an in-depth article of the problems free speech pose to American society in the coronavirus era. The headline: Internet Speech Will Never […]
Never in American history have politicians been more powerful than they are now.
One reason I can’t really go for all the Chinahate we see today is that China is merely a test market for the kind of system the overlords of the empire want for the entire world, i.e. serf labor, techno-fascist surveillance, and labor camps for those who dissent. […]
Tucker Carlson is a de facto spokesman for the petite bourgeoise and “small capitalist” sectors of the commercial economy, the post-bourgeois proletariat, the “sinking middle,” the dying WASP culture, political traditionalists and constitutional fundamentalists of the kind found on the paleo/populist-right, etc. Many of those interests have been […]
Glad to see some left-wing folks questioning the official ruling class party line.
From the land of the Yellow Vests. Sometimes the French know how to get things done. By Benjamin Dodman France 24 Three nights of unrest in the French capital’s northern suburbs have stoked fears of a major flare-up in deprived neighbourhoods where weeks of lockdown have exacerbated the […]
By Troy Southgate I can’t say I’m too surprised at the high degree of naivety and conformism that we are witnessing during this period. I wonder how many people here are familiar with the old Twilight Zone episode from 1960, The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street? The […]
Regrettably, many on the right cannot get over their love for the carceral state and their lust for a man in uniform.
Tom Woods takes on the white coat priesthood. Excellent. Listen here. In this episode I cover a lot of ground, albeit a bit haphazardly: the unintended consequences of “lockdown,” the superstitious reverence for “scientists” (who, contrary to popular belief, are not in fact qualified to answer all questions), […]
Check out Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, and Part 5. By Nicky Reid aka Comrade Hermit Exile in Happy Valley You motherfucker! You goddamn, cocksucking, clitlicking, shiteating, dickless, cuntless, gutless, motherfucking piece of fucking shit!! Ahem, sorry about that, dearest motherfuckers, but apparently on day […]
Many of those who are engaged in civil disobedience regarding the shelter-in-place orders are misguided in a lot of their thinking, but they are still a necessary counterpart to the state. The state must be challenged in all circumstances. It is for this same reason that oppositional subcultures […]
By Whitney Webb The Last American Vagabond Last year, a U.S. government body dedicated to examining how artificial intelligence can “address the national security and defense needs of the United States” discussed in detail the “structural” changes that the American economy and society must undergo in order to […]
This is what our “anti-fascists” really need to be worried about, not Donald Trump, the Proudboys, or the Alt-Right.
It is almost certain that governments all over the world will attempt to maintain the powers they have seized during the course of the pandemic. The anarchist critique of the state is vitally important at this time. The anarchist view is that the state is nothing more than […]
Are the anti-lockdown protests Republican astroturf, or a genuinely popular rebellion that the Republicans are trying to coopt? By Michael Martina, Jarrett Renshaw and Tim Reid Reuters HARRISBURG, Pa./DETROIT (Reuters) – Republican politicians and individuals affiliated with President Donald Trump’s re-election campaign are organizing or promoting anti-lockdown protests […]
CBS News An Idaho woman was arrested Tuesday after police say she was violating city orders by trespassing on a city playground that was closed to stop the spread of the coronavirus. CBS affiliate KBOI-TV reports that 40-year-old Sara Brady, of Meridian, was arrested and charged with one […]
A great example of the application of the anarchist principle of direct action.
Politico Facebook is blocking anti-quarantine protesters from using the site to organize in-person gatherings that violate states’ stay-at-home orders — a move that had brought an immediate backlash from conservatives including President Donald Trump’s eldest son. The world’s largest social network has removed protest messages in California, New […]

Check out Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, and Part 4. By Nicky Reid aka Comrade Hermit Exile in Happy Valley It’s such a played out cliché that it’s downright corny, but if you were born sometime before the mid-Nineties, you really do remember exactly where you were […]
To appropriate an expression from the Obama era: Yes, we can.
