By Nicolas Gregoris Mises Institute Neil Sedaka said it best – “breaking up is hard to do”. Ask any 16-year-old and they’ll tell you that’s certainly true, but Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) recently made headlines when she suggested not just a breakup, but a “National Divorce” on […]
By Peter R. Quiñones I hope that you understand, or are at least beginning to, that the radical Left is not going to stop. Many people have pointed out that their belief in equity for all, which really means the destruction of the status quo and the lifting […]
Timothy Snyder’s viewpoint is interesting. Of course, he is a Yale academic, and therefore a high priest among the new clerisy, and his main concerns are both preserving the empire and achieving the hegemony of the Blue Tribe within the empire. His main fear is the emergence of […]
Kevin Carson is by far the best contemporary left-anarchist economist. His ideas on economics are more or less what I think the dominant mode of production would look like in a world where anarchist movements achieved political hegemony on a cultural and intellectual level. Although, like Noam Chomsky, […]

By Antonia Hitchens The Atlantic In rural Oregon, voters fed up with their state’s leftward turn have embraced a simple and outlandish idea: What if we were just Idaho? In the summer of 2015, a chimney sweep in Elgin, Oregon, redrew the map of the American West. “Imagine […]
By Stephen Marche, Washington Post When Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) talks about a “National Divorce,” as she did again in a tweet on Wednesday, she may be advancing the cause of secession or she may just be seeking attention. Either way, she knows what she’s doing — […]
By Joel Schlosberg, Garrison Center As “the city that never sleeps” turned the calendar to 2022 with the inauguration of Eric Adams just after midnight, partygoers didn’t need Frank Sinatra’s reminder to “start spreading the news” heard on the New Year’s broadcast from Times Square. New Yorkers were […]
By Stephen Marche Foreign Policy A significant portion of Americans seek the destruction of political authority. What if they succeed? The unimaginable has become reality in the United States. Buffoonish mobs desecrating the U.S. Capitol building, tanks parading down the streets of Washington, running battles between protesters and […]
By Dana Williams Tactics are the techniques and actions used by social movements that implement strategies for the purpose of achieving goals. For anarchist movements, tactics can assume a reactive, diagnostic, or destructive force for opposing hierarchy, repression, and inequality. Tactics can also assume a proactive, prognostic, or […]

Have we pan-secessionists found our leader? If the person who gets the pan-secessionist ball rolling turns out to be this illiterate fruitbat, so be it. “Marjorie Taylor Greene is a troll. But it’s not either or. She can be a troll, and she can be a serious threat to […]
By Ilya Somin The Week Realistically, your ballot doesn’t matter. ‘Foot voting’ does. American democratic institutions are in crisis. One of the worst flaws of the status quo is the near-powerlessness of the individual voter over the policies which determine so much of daily life. Closely related is […]
This is a 2009 article from the late anarchist anthropologist David Graeber, who died last year, and who was probably as influential as any anarchist in the 21st century so far. I am posting this because the third section of this piece, the discussion of anarchism in the […]
Anarchist News Mutual aid has been in the spotlight recently in light of the current crisis, but what exactly does it mean? And what makes it a powerful form of anarchist praxis unique from charity and volunteering? Well, ‘mutual aid’ is essentially the very radical notion that co-operation, rather […]

By Byron Libertarianism Something that Libertarians often fail to do is to learn from our enemies. It is unquestionable that many different ideologies have had much greater success in the 20th century than libertarianism or classical liberalism. No matter how repressive these ideologies may be, it’s worth studying […]

By Charlie Lee Springtime of Nations When Classical Liberalism first gained prominence as a political movement in Europe and the Western Hemisphere in general, the ideology was closely tied to national struggles for independence against large empires.

By VoltDeCleyre Springtime of Nations The Porfiriato To understand the neo-zapatistas, one must not overlook the importance of Mexican history itself. Before we get to the eponymous Zapata, let us look towards the conditions that made the Mexican people turn to him in the first place. The man […]

By Charlie Lee Springtime of Nations The worldwide culture war between what we call the “left” and “right” has by now infected all political discourse, and Libertarianism is no exception. “Right-Libertarians” have socially conservative mores and favor more hierarchical forms of economic and social organization, while “Left-Libertarians” are […]
By VoltDeCleyre Springtime of Nations Pact of Zanjon Aftermath Carrying on immediately where we left off, the negotiations for peace were not successful in placating the desires that brought about the 10 year war in the first place.

The article below seriously advocates for “pro-choice” sanctuary cities. Meanwhile, there are now at least 41 “pro-life sanctuaries” in existence. Pro-gun sanctuaries now include 1200 localities. About 40% of local jurisdictions in the US are now marijuana sanctuaries. Over 500 jurisdictions in the US are immigration sanctuaries. Efforts […]
Just as I am for many different forms of libertarianism or anarchism, I am also for many different strategies. Let a thousand flowers bloom.
It’s really hard to criticize what the FSP has done. This is the ultimate Hoppean exercise (minus the helicopters lol)
Tom Woods Show Matt Asher discusses the prospects for American breakup, and what we should do while we wait. LISTEN HERE
This is an interesting discussion from 2013. Obviously, things are even further along now than they were then. I agree with much of what Hedges says here although it’s a little too reformist for my tastes.
Tom Woods At the Mises Institute‘s supporters summit over the weekend, Institute president Jeff Deist and I had an informal discussion after dinner in front of the assembled attendees, and reviewed Hans Hoppe’s essay “What Must Be Done” as the springboard for our discussion. Warning: zingy. READ MORE
By Nicky Reid aka Comrade Hermit Exile in Happy Valley Fred Hampton had a dream. It was a little more militant than Doctor King’s, but no less ambitious. The young chairman of the Illinois chapter of the Black Panther Party dreamed of a grand coalition of revolutionaries spanning […]
Now that pan-secessionism has entered the mainstream discourse, at least on a casual level, the next step for those of us with a more radical perspective is to keep pushing the envelope toward more radical viewpoints, away from Democratic Partyism and Republican Partyism toward the intellectual framework associated […]
An article from 2018 advocating splitting the US into a Red Federation, Blue Federation, and Neutral Federation. By Sasha Issenberg, The Intelligencer The year is 2019.

I’m increasingly seeing articles like this in the mainstream media. The system is getting worried. By Ed Kilgore, Intelligencer Nobody has to convince me the divisions between the “red” and “blue” segments of our country are deep, bitter, and authentic. That and a closely related topic, the radicalization […]
Some years back, I rolled out the idea of a “pan-secessionist meta-party” as a means of implementing the wider ATS “anarcho-populist” strategy that I outlined some years before that. The most recent polling data, involving a poll taken by the University of Virginia Center for Politics, indicates that […]
Approximately 52% of Trump voters (about 38 million of 74 million people) and 40% of Biden (about 32 million of 80 million people) now hold at least casual pan-secessionist sympathies. My guess is that the percentage of non-voters (about another 80 million) with a favorable view of pan-secession […]
This latest poll indicates the greatest amount of support I have seen to date for macro-level pan-secession. The speaker in the video is correct that simply dividing the nation into a Blue country and a Red country is impractical. We need far more diversity and decentralization than that. […]
Tom Woods Show You and I complain a lot, and rightly so, but we do of course have a positive program. I asked David Stockman, who was director of the Office of Management and Budget in the Reagan Administration, to outline what specifically we should do if the […]
David French, a Bill Kristol flunkie, is concerned an American breakup will ruin the neocons’ plans for world domination. He outlines a proposal for “federalism” without an actual breakup, and a leftist writer from Slate points out some of the practical problems associated with pan-secessionism along with common […]
These guys appear to be an actual on-the-ground, pan-anarchist, pan-secessionist movement. And whether left-wing anarchists like these guys or not, left-wing anarchists who are developing mutual aid networks of their own or creating separatist movements like CHAZ are in the club as well. I suspect that as pan-secessionist […]
