In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, anarchism was the premiere revolutionary movement throughout both the Western world and in the pre-industrial world. For instance, even many contemporary anarchists do not realize that anarchism was about as large a movement in Latin America and China as it […]
By Jack Balkwill Popular Resistance Roosevelt’s nightmare has become American reality. We are now clearly a fascist state by his definition. The word fascism has been replaced by the propaganda term, “corporate capitalism.” The USA has its mainstream media entirely controlled by private power. Electronic media, where most […]

William Schnack’s “The Evolution of Consent” is now available. Economic issues and ideologies are becoming just as divisive in mainstream society as cultural, racial, and social issues, a sign of widening class divisions and economic decline. Therefore, it is more important than ever that perspectives which reject and […]
The time has come for feminist separatism, a concept that I have long endorsed. By Julie Bindel The Guardian Jane says she was raped by three men wearing Gurkha uniforms. She was herding her husband’s goats and sheep, and carrying firewood, when she was attacked. “I felt so […]

A poster on Reddit’s Anarcho-Capitalism discussion forum describes my views as follows: Here are some things to know of Keith Preston: A. He’s a strong revolutionary voice within the anarchist circles. B. He’s a panarchist and pan-secessionist. C. He is pretty much equivalent to a classical anarchist, like […]
Give this guy a fair hearing. His idea of scrapping the American empire and embracing decentralized, self-determination for all has much merit. By Vegas Tenold ate at night on June 17, after he and his wife had gone to bed, Matthew Heimbach’s phone rang on his nightstand. On […]
An interview with anarchist Dave Strano about anarchist tabling at gun shows. This guy is head and shoulders above most left-anarchists on these questions, but he still falls back on leftist moralizing to a great degree. The best approach is to forget moralism and merely focus on commonalities […]
That is the question. By Anonymous AnarchistNews.Org While there have been some headlines and first person accounts of the Rojava region and the politics therein, there has been little analysis that is explicitly anarchist. That is grounded in the big modern questions about how can international solidarity occur […]
What follows is a piece by right-wing pundit Angelo Codevilla that discusses the populist potential that exists among disaffected sectors of the Center and the Right. Codevilla is known for his theory of the U.S. ruling class that closely resembles C. Wright Mill’s “power elite” theory or William […]
By all means, donate. By Jennifer Baker Revolution-News.Com After 134 days of intense fights against ISIS, the Kurdish city of Kobanê is under reconstruction.

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 […]
By Stephen Wolf Daily Kos The Icelandic Pirate Party Iceland has long been one of the more right-leaning Nordic countries. In contrast to Denmark, Finland, Norway, and Sweden, which all have a long tradition of electing Social Democratic governments, Iceland’s parliament has been dominated by right-of-center parties for […]
By William Schnack The Evolution of Consent In this essay, we will take a deeper look at the characteristics of the geo-mutual bank.

By Uriel Alexis Films for Action Lately, I’ve been thinking about how the diverse anarchist strategies could combine against our current class society. How every variation on the theme of “assert your freedom now,” from the anarcho-syndicalist direct action to Sam Konkin’s agorism, could combine in order to […]
ty Beyond Capitalism By James Herod FilmsforAction.Org It is time to try to describe, at first abstractly and later concretely, a strategy for destroying capitalism.

This is an interesting comment from this article: “It was not long ago when the attitude towards conspiracy theories was mainly mocking. Now they are perceived as a national threat and they are compared to terrorism and Nazism: France has already set a dangerous precedent by beginning to block web sites […]
This video is mostly a silly attack on national-anarchism, but it’s worth watching because of a speaker that appears off-camera at 39:13 in this. The speaker specifically attacks anti-imperialists for not conforming to Western standards of what an anti-imperialist movement should be, and simultaneously attacks Western radicals for […]

The specific organizational forms that the growing third wave of anarchist movements will eventually assume is still being debating. Might the example of the Pirate Party and its rapid growth be a potential model to draw on? By Jordan Minor Geek.Com Like the lawless, ruthless, anarchists they were, […]
by Anonymous No word has done more to spark both disgust and delight than the word “revolution.” For libertarians, this is no exception. Oftentimes, the word conjures up memories of storming the Bastille, the Jacobin Terror, the firing squads and gulags of the Soviet Union, the anti-Western Third […]

This is a very interesting notification I recently received from a reader that illustrates something I have been noticing for a while. It appears there is a broad “axis of dissent” that is developing in the United States that transcends the normal political and cultural boundaries, and whose […]
An interesting discussion of prospects for a leftist third party in the US.This individual provides an opportunity to point out the differences between the ARV-ATS approach and that of the “normal” Left. I would actually consider ATS to be considerably further to the left of this woman. She […]

Some thoughts I originally posted in an online discussion concerning the various libertarian by-ways” There’s a big rivalry right now between the paleolibertarians, left-libertarians and “mainstream” LP/Cato/Reason type libertarians. The paleos and the leftists view the latter tendencies as establishment brown-nosers, and the mainstreamers view the radicals as […]
By Keith Preston In the essay, “Liberty and Populism: Building an Effective Resistance Movement for North America,” written in 2006, I made the following observation: Ultimately, we may at some point be able to combine the Green, Libertarian, Populist, Constitution, Natural Law and other minor parties into a […]

Perhaps one of the most problematic issues I have encountered when attempting to communicate the ATS message is the fact that I frequently comment on a variety of topics that are only casually related or even unrelated to the essential features of the ATS message. For example, I […]
By Lew Rockwell LewRockwell.Com For a century and a half, the idea of secession has been systematically demonized among the American public. The government schools spin fairy tales about the “indivisible Union” and the wise statesmen who fought to preserve it. Decentralization is portrayed as unsophisticated and backward, […]
This is how you do it. Once again, the election results in Greece represent what I have been pushing for years, i.e. the creation of a radical left that eclipses the center-left and then builds a coalition with the populist right against the establishment center, the global elites […]
Some observations about the recent election in Greece. First, I am hesitant base any general assessment of Western politics on domestic Greek politics, which is still very much in the mode of mid-twentieth century models of Left and Right. Greek’s communists are Old Leftists, not New Leftists. Their […]
It is not unreasonable to suggest that the decades ahead will witness the unfolding of a golden age of anarchism. What is the evidence for this? -The most powerful state in the world, the United States, the mother country of the empire, is slowly losing its internal legitimacy […]
An interesting proposal from Joe Kopsick. See more here. This is very similar to the concept of a pan-secessionist meta-party that I wrote about in “Liberty and Populism” and that Ryan Faulk has previously suggested with his concept of an “All Nations Party.” As far as pan-anarchist/pan-secessionist involvement […]
In a perfect world, there would be a federation of anarchist organizations, representing many kinds of political and cultural groups with a generally anti-authoritarian orientation (a libertarian Grey Tribe in opposition to the various forces of statism, totalitarianism, imperialism, militarism, corporatism, and fascism). Further, the overarching strategic outlook […]
Public opinion polls consistently indicate that roughly 1 in 4 Americans, approximately 75-80 million people, are currently sympathetic to secession by their locality or region. The obvious implication of this for those of us who are advocates of pan-secessionism is that we do not need to go out […]
Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but the growth of pan-secessionism will definitely create some interesting dividing lines. The question of secession is my litmus test. I believe it is what separates true radicals from non-radicals (at least in the USA). The bottom line is that there are […]
