6 Native leaders on what it would look like if the US kept its promises

American breakup: Secession is much closer than we think

If the USA were to balkanize, what independent countries do you think would emerge, what would they look like, and which would be most successful?

An American split
By John Kaluza In response to Mr. Staveley’s commentary, I am closing in on 70 years old and I can honestly say, like you do, that the thinking of many people in this country is incomprehensible to me. I just don’t understand how so many Americans can support […]
Breakup of the USA
CT2 In the world of scenario planning, the fact that something is unthinkable should not prevent us from considering it. The breakup of the Soviet Union was unthinkable almost until the day it happened. At the same time, of course, not every impossible thing will happen. Among the […]

It’s Time For The United States To Divorce Before Things Get Dangerous

Hedging The Ultimate Tail Risk: Breakup USA
By Patrick W. Watson Forbes Some things are so horrible, you don’t want to think about them. Institutional risk managers think about “tail risks”—scenarios with very low probability. But should they happen, the consequences would be so devastating that you must plan for them.

What-if: The break-up of the United States of America

How to split the USA into two countries: Red and Blue
By Frank Jacobs Big Think America’s two political tribes have consolidated into ‘red’ and ‘blue’ nations, with seemingly irreconcilable differences. Perhaps the best way to stop the infighting is to go for a divorce and give the two nations a country each Based on the UN’s partition plan […]
If you could split up USA into 5-8 different regions or countries, which states would be part of X country and what systems would you implement?
By Sebbie Gost Quora Well, first of all, I would not divide America to equal economies (because honestly, half of America will still make less than the top 5 states combined), I would divide it based on what has been dividing nations from the beginning of time: culture. […]
We should chop America up into 7 different countries. Seriously.
By Bonnie Kristian The Week Look, we had a good run. Well, maybe “good” isn’t quite the right word … but certainly it’s been interesting. These United States were a grand experiment. But the experiment has gotten out of hand. It’s time to peacefully dissolve the union. I […]
Divided We Stand: The country is hopelessly split. So why not make it official and break up?
By Sascha Issenberg Intelligencer The year is 2019. California’s new governor, Gavin Newsom, recently elected on a platform that included support for the creation of a single-payer health-care system, now must figure out how to enact it. A prior nonpartisan analysis priced it at $400 billion per year […]
The coronavirus pandemic has made one thing perfectly clear: It’s time to split the country
By Steve Lopez Los Angeles Times On Monday night, I was watching TV coverage of the pandemic, first on MSNBC then on Fox News, and a thought occurred. We are so helplessly, irrevocably divided, it’s time to quit talking about coming together as one and do the only […]
Political Confessional: The Man Who Thinks The U.S. Is Better Off As A Bunch Of Separate Countries
By Clare Malone Five Thirty-Eight This week we talked to Chris, a 35-year-old white man from rural Pennsylvania. Chris wrote in that he thought, “the U.S. should have a velvet divorce,” a reference to the peaceful dissolution of Czechoslovakia — now the Czech Republic and the Slovak Republic […]
CHAZ Memorial and Support Video
A Maoist memorializes CHAZ. In some ways, I generally considered having supported CHAZ to be something of a litmus test that separates authentic anti-systemists from pro-systemists. Notice that CHAZ was suppressed by the city government of Seattle, arguably the furthest left of any local government in the US, […]
I was a 60s socialist. Today’s progressives are in danger of repeating our mistakes.

Federal Officers Shoot Portland Protester In Head With ‘Less Lethal’ Munitions
Smart tacticians from the Left could exploit this issue to fuel hostility to the feds among liberal and left opinion, and in a way that also wins sympathy from the anti-establishment Right who see the feds as the folks who are going to take their guns and massacre […]

St. Louis man who went viral defending his property speaks out on ‘Tucker’
If opinion leaders, activists, “radicals,” BLMs, etc. are wise they will outspokenly oppose the criminal prosecution of these two. The last thing that needs to happen is for public support for repression to increase, for inter-tribal warfare to escalate, or for Red State/conservative middle-class Falangists to emerge. The […]

Nothing Succeeds Like Secession: Suggested Demands for CHOP From a Friendly Panarchist Ally

Glenn Loury: ‘We’re Being Swept Along by Hysteria’ About Racism in America
A somewhat interesting interview with a leading black conservative.

The Seven Factions of the 2020 Street Battles?
Based on all of the articles, videos, and first-person commentary I’ve seen so far, it seems like there have been seven basic categories of participants in the uprising/street battles to date.

The Mexican Town That Kicked Out Politicians And Started Over
This is what “defunding the police” really looks like. We need an America of 20,000 Cherans. Cherán is a town of some 20,000 inhabitants in the highlands of Michoacán, one of the Mexican states that’s suffered most in the drug wars of the last decade. Armed men and […]
Revolution from the Bottom Up
When I was an orthodox left-wing anarchist, one of the things that eventually led to my present heterodox positions was the observation that every leftist revolution in which anarchists participated led to the repression of the anarchists by authoritarian leftists, or by right-wing reactionaries who managed to gain […]
The Great Statue Debate
Kyle is merely criticizing standard right-wing dumbassery in much of this, but one of the most important points he raises is that evidence shows that a majority of the US public still opposes removing Confederate monuments, and super-majority opposes removing historic American monuments. When leftist revolutions fail, and […]

Life and times at the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone
Shane Burley is no more an unbiased reporter on CHAZ than Tucker Carlson. But it’s interesting to get a range of perspectives. By Shane Burley ROAR Magazine
Cheran is the Model
First came a pandemic. Then, looting. Small businesses pick up the pieces as their debt mounts.
A reflection on the problem of interclass and intra-lumpen proletarian conflict. Many positive things have happened in the uprising. These include the mass participation of normies and civilians (non-revolutionaries) in protests and civil disobedience against the state, along with direct attacks on the state such as the destruction […]

Zapatistas to extend their control with 11 more autonomous zones in Chiapas

Mexico News Daily The Zapatistas are on the move in Chiapas, extending […]
‘The Five’ spar over legitimacy of Seattle’s ‘autonomous zone’
If these FOX News reactionaries were as “anti-establishment” or “anti-big government” as they pretend they would be creating “autonomous zones” of their own. What a shame they’re really just mouthpieces for the right-wing of the ruling class.
Hannity: Anarchy reigns supreme in Seattle
If only it were true. Roadblocks, checkpoints, barricades, armed vigilantes: Anyone with a functioning brain knows this is unacceptable.
Tucker: The new nation of CHAZ is a lesson for us all
Indeed it is. But not in the way that Carlson means. This is hilarious. During the heydey of the militia movement of the 1990s, there were “freemen” and “sovereign citizen” groups that did stuff like this.
