Actually, the polio vaccine was developed by a non-profit foundation with funds provided by the March of Dimes. Whether that’s good or bad may be a value judgment, but it’s a blow against the “government is necessary” argument. Krystal and Saager are great journalists but their political ideal […]
I’ve noticed that a lot of libertarian-minded people, while well-intentioned, have a misunderstanding of how political and social change, at least the kind that moves in a more libertarian direction, actually works. Obviously, there is never going to be a Libertarian government elected to office that immediately says, […]
By Nicky Reid aka Comrade Hermit Exile in Happy Valley Well, winter is coming with a vengeance and I’m guessing that you’re feeling pretty bummed. I’ve noticed the dayglo orange has drained from your cheeks and your once histrionic tirades have taken on all the petty melodrama of […]
Those of us with libertarian-inclined political leanings were the real winners in the 2020 election. The “war on drugs,” along with general overcriminalization is probably the most extreme form of statism that exists in the modern United States, at least on a large scale. By Kyle Jaeger The […]
Obama: “As a college student, I was a shallow loser.” In many ways, Obama personifies the values of woke capitalism in the sense of espousing a duplicitous cultural leftism on the surface level while fully embracing the values of the corporate class and serving as a functionary for […]
By David Bates To what extent is it possible to situate Hardt and Negri’s thought? Are they best regarded as ‘anarchists’, ‘socialists’, ‘communists’, ‘marxists’, ‘leninists’, ‘postmarxists’ or ‘postanarchists’? Answering this question is no mere intellectual exercise. As Wittgenstein once remarked, ‘words are deeds’. On the radical left, much […]
This is a pretty good analysis/overview although “fascism” really isn’t the correct term for what is being described, which is something far more sophisticated than the classical cult of the strongman. Fascism is something that tends to emerge in societies that are still in a relatively early stage […]
What could possibly go wrong?
Everyone hates the ruling class. Co-host of the Bad Faith Podcast, Briahna Joy Gray, discusses why rank-and-file lawmakers in the Democratic Party are nervous.
One thing that should be pointed out is that it is not uncommon for “strongman” rulers to have conflicts within their oligarchies and deep states. Putin is clearly a strongman and quasi-dictator even if he purged the corrupt oligarchy that ruled Russian during the Yeltsin period. Turkey’s deep […]
By Peter R. Quinones It’s a common refrain among many people but especially those with some kind of public platform (this was inspired by a comedian saying it) that “we” needed Trump gone so wounds could be healed and the people can come back together. Who are these […]
To ask the question is to answer it. All the neocons will have to do is start using some Christian Democrat-like economic rhetoric and they can continue to co-opt the economic nationalist wing of the working class the way they’ve co-opted social conservatives and pro-lifers. Exec. Director of […]
John McCain’s wife is on Biden’s transition team. As I have said, the neocons now control both parties.
The return of Obamaism. Fortunately, it looks like the Republicans will control the Senate and Supreme Court while the Democrats will control the Presidency and the House, which means that divided government survives. Krystal Ball and Saagar Enjeti share their thoughts on the reported Executive Orders Joe Biden […]
By Troy Southgate The large number of people who were removed from Facebook for attacking Biden in the run-up to the U.S. election should have realised the truth: this is not because Facebook is part of an ‘anti-Trump’ conspiracy, but due to the fact that the decision to […]
Derrick Broze: “Friends, It’s going to be hell no matter what. I know SOME of you see past the games, but many of you who follow me still play the game. Here’s what I see: 1. The Biden “Revolutionaries” – these are the folks who were/are committed to […]
Derrick Broze: “Friends, Generally, as an anarchist, I take joy in seeing more and more Americans lose faith in the political system and voting. I work daily to help people understand that choosing government is not the most effective or principled way to achieve the changes we desire. […]
A very thorough critique of Bidenism. By Sean Jobst This is not an endorsement. My perspective is cultural, that true changes occur within the thinking and social actions of people, not in fleeting political charades. Its a recognition that change must occur within ourselves first and then extend […]
The GOP would be about as sincere in their populism as they are in their evangelical Christianity and pro-life views. Editor at American Affairs, Julius Krein, discusses President Trump’s win of unions in Ohio.
It goes without saying that FOX will blame any election-related violence on the “left” while the rest of the media will blame Trumpists and the “far-right.” And they will all probably be right. FOX News The Oregon National Guard was activated in Portland, Ore., on Wednesday night in […]
Actually, it won’t be either. It will be just like the last four years with some asshole that makes a fool of himself every time he opens his mouth with the pundit class and chattering classes experiencing apoplexy in the process.
I would strongly recommend that everyone avoid participating in election-related protests or “civil unrest.” This entire thing is a smoke and mirrors show that is being engineered by the top in order to create popular division and deflect the possibility of any kind of unified resistance to the […]
This is a fantastic interview.
By Troy Southgate
Bleeding Kansas? By Arial Stark, MSN The Topeka Capital-Journal reported the man told police three people were stealing his campaign signs supporting President Trump. One gunshot victim was transported to an area hospital with potentially life-threatening injuries. Two others were taken to hospitals for treatment by private vehicle, […]
A pox on all their houses.
I once referred to Naomi Klein as a “flake and an airhead.” I stand by my original assessment.
The only thing I would add to what Greenwald says is that the neocons have also gained control of the Republicans/Trumpists as well. The “civil war” is really just a game of solitaire by the ruling class. Glenn Greenwald: “This is the real story of the last four […]
Founder of the Intercept, Glenn Greenwald, joins ‘Tucker Carlson Tonight’ after resigning due to censorship from editorial staff
Co-founder of the Intercept, Glenn Greenwald, explains why he resigned from the publication.
Glenn Greenwald on why he resigned from The Intercept. The media has become the new clergy. But the pathologies, illiberalism, and repressive mentality that led to the bizarre spectacle of my being censored by my own media outlet are ones that are by no means unique to The […]
Krystal Ball and Saagar Enjeti weigh in on the latest polling in the presidential race. They also discuss reporting that Joe Biden is trailing in Texas.
Thomas Sowell once said that a problem with intellectuals is because they are experts in certain very narrow areas, they think they are automatically qualified to give expert opinions on everything else. This article is a good example. As brilliant a military theorist as Bill Lind, this article […]
Prediction: A Biden/Harris regime will crack down harder on BLM, Antifa, left-wing protestors, and their right-wing counterparts than a Trump-Pence-Barr regime. The “Biden administration” will merely be a euphemism for a ruling class unity regime without the distraction of the Orange Man daily freak show. A certain amount […]
From a social media post. This may be the first time Trotskyists and Maoists have ever manage to get along. “The coalition behind Biden is ridiculous – Lincoln Project “Never Trumper” Republicans and most of the leadership of the Democratic Socialists of America, Silicon Valley tech giants and […]
Listen here. Mr. Preston joined us again per a listener request to cover the subject of right wing anarchism, with many famous names coming up in the discussion such as Proudhon, Kropotkin, Tucker, Stirner, Rothbard and Junger. Keith also per listener request discussed what Friedrich Nietzsche’s ideas have […]
By Russell Maroon Shoats/z Long before the founding of the country, Africans were transported to what later became known as the United States of America. Some came as free individuals and companions of the Europeans from Spain and elsewhere. They were ship guides, sailors, soldiers, explorers, and adventurers. […]
Todd Lewis is joined by Keith Preston, Swithun Dobson and Terminal Philosophy to discuss the importance of Hoppean thought to libertarianism and NRx.
