My latest take on the presidential contest (not to be confused with an actual endorsement of any of the candidates). Some polls now show Sanders actually having a better chance of beating Trump than Clinton. Up until ten years ago, maybe even more recently, it would have impossible […]
By William S. Lind Traditional Right Virtually all the reporting about this fall’s presidential election focuses on the candidates and the question of who is going to win nomination and election.

If the LP continues to grow in this manner, then it may be an excellent for pan-anarchist/pan-secessionist entryism.

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.

A map of future secessionist enclaves? View at the New York Times
By Russell D. Longcore Yep. You read it right. DumpDC is endorsing Hillary for President. Our Next President? Now, let me lay out my argument so you can see the genius of this position. Remember that the overarching reason for the existence of DumpDC is to promote state […]
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 […]

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 […]
Reflecting on the Presidential election that’s coming up this year, it seems there are really only four possible scenarios.

Some constructive criticism from Charles Glass.

A reply to “Anti-Fascist News“: An uninformed lay person reading the pathetically ignorant and barely literate bromide against Attack the System recently issued by “Anti-Fascist News” would hardly know anarchism is a vast tradition in modern political philosophy with roots in the radical Enlightenment more than two centuries […]
These are the currents that will need to emerge within the context of North American anarchism if the movement is to eventually become politically competitive.

Some reflection is needed on what the proper relationship should be between the pan-anarchist movement and the movement(s) commonly labeled as “conspiracy theorists,” “truthers,” and the like. Technically, the “anti-conspiracy” milieu is not a movement as much as it is a collection of ideas pertaining to a wide […]
