By Chris Shaw I’ve made it clear that I don’t see the EU referendum as particularly important. The major economic questions surrounding the modern world, from banking fragility and capital creation, to huge levels of private and sovereign debt and politico-economic centralisation are not remotely addressed within this […]
Press TV. Listen here. “The rise of the Daesh was made possible by efforts by the Americans to destabilize various governments in the Middle East,” said Keith Preston.

AnarchistNews.Org Anarchists have held and continue to organize conferences, gatherings, workshops, discussions, summits, and meetings on a local and international level. These events offer […]
The necessity of overthrowing the police state and related institutions is the most serious domestic issue in the United States at present. What’s interesting is that virtually the entire range of informed opinion recognizes this to some degree though the analytical framework and specific criticisms may vary considerably. […]
There goes the libertarian neighborhood. Now is the time for serious anti-state radicals to forget about “fiscal conservatism and social liberalism” and become full-blown anarchists. By Nicky Woolf The Guardian ‘I wish everybody in the Republican party had rejected Mr Trump and chosen someone else,’ Romney said on […]
If the Trump and Sanders movements become a permanent fixture of US politics, the real effect of this will be to repeal the Reagan Revolution and bring American politics back to what it was in the 1970s, and with relatively similar political, economic, and social circumstances (minus the […]

Thus far, there appears to be only one truism about Donald Trump: You can’t believe a word he says. But what matters is what Trump would actually do as a head of state, not what he says to the press or during campaign speeches. His track record indicates […]
Press TV. Listen here: http://www.presstv.ir/Detail/2016/06/07/469332/Donald-Trump-GOP-hawks Keith Preston said “Donald Trump is talking out of both sides of his mouth.” Donald Trump’s reversal of position on American intervention in Libya shows he is trying to appease hawks in the Republican Party and the US power elite, an American journalist […]
By Andrew Levine Counterpunch Nobody knows yet what will become of the Republican Party after Donald Trump is through with it. He probably doesn’t know himself what he would like to happen. In any case, it isn’t entirely up to him. It depends too on what real Republicans […]
By Diana Johnstone Counterpunch On June 2, a few days before the California primary, Hillary Clinton gave up trying to compete with Bernie Sanders on domestic policy. Instead, she zeroed in on the soft target of Donald Trump’s most “bizarre rants” in order to present herself as experienced […]
By Margaret Kimberley Counterpunch/Black Agenda Report Joseph Sohm | Shutterstock.com Donald Trump is the ill spoken, boorish, graceless version of every American president in modern history. He differs from them only in his unconcealed appeals to white nationalism. But Democrats aren’t much better. They pretend to work on behalf of […]
By Caroline May Breitbart.Com The BLS reports that last month 94,708,000 Americans were neither employed nor made an effort to find employment — due to discouragement, retirement, education, or otherwise — last month.

Thomas Sowell says socialism. By Thomas Sowell Investors.Com Opposition protesters shout out “Maduro” during a demonstration demanding the government pursue a referendum to recall President Nicolas Maduro, in Caracas, Venezuela.

Finally, a leftist who gets it. Although I do think the ATS perspective is superior to Trumpism. Aidan O’Brien Counterpunch Have we reached the endgame of Western democracy? When we heard Chomsky, a week or two ago on Democracy Now, saying that if pushed he’d vote for Clinton, […]
My guess is that Kristol is hoping for one of two outcomes with this. Either his candidate will throw the election to Hillary and his own neocon camp will defect to her side and try to puppet master her. Some neocons like the Kagans and Max Boot are […]
By Zach Beauchamp Vox.Com Hillary Clinton is, without a doubt, a hawkish Democrat. She has been consistently to the interventionist right of the party mainstream on issues like the Iraq War, the Afghanistan surge, and arming the Syrian rebels. Donald Trump, by contrast, has criticized the Iraq War […]
Robert Stark interviews Keith Preston about The Tyranny of the Politically Correct
A good critique of the presidential race by a left-anarchist. The Trump-Mussolini comparison is standard leftist hyperbole (see today’s other post). Trump is probably more comparable to a figure like Nelson Rockefeller, although comparing Hillary to Nixon is reasonably accurate as is a comparison of Obama and Nixon. […]
An Italian leftist who actually battled fascists in Italy in the 70s debunks the Trump/Mussolini comparison. In looking for past figures from U.S. politics to which to compare Trump, one I keep coming back to is Nelson Rockefeller, also a billionaire moderate to liberal Republican statist-authoritarian known for […]
By Sean Gabb Libertarian Alliance Though we have nearly four weeks yet of campaigning, I find it hard to believe that the European Referendum will end in other than a crushing defeat for the Leave Campaign. For many on our side, this will be the end of their […]
The money quote: “Put simply, our anti-racism efforts must be refocused away from guilt and confession and towards equality and eradicating irrational judgments based on race. Some on the Left will object, saying that racism is so systemic in society it must be purged before anyone can pretend […]

Press TV. Listen here. Preston says “there is no evidence that it was necessary for the United States to” use those weapons against Japan. The United States will not apologize to Japan over its 1945 atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki because such an apology would mean an […]
I’m not a fan of this guy but free speech is free speech.
By Chris Shaw The concept of a libertarian party should be simple. A collection of multiple strands of libertarian and anarchist ideologues, thinkers and activists coming together to present multiple alternatives to the current statist world. Simple, right? Not so for the modern Libertarian Party of America. It […]
As I have previously said, Hillary is now the most right-wing candidate on foreign policy and trade, with Trump in the center, and Sanders moving the conversation to the left of the Democrats. A number of important articles have recently emerged documenting this. Philip Giraldi at The American […]
Sanders voted against the Iraq War and has criticized efforts to use NATO to encircle Russia. By Walter Ross LA Progressive Progressives like LA Progressive editor Dick Price have indicated many domestic reasons why progressives prefer Bernie Sanders to Hillary Clinton. A recent New York Times editorial also […]
The “troll” accusation is fair enough. By Stuart Sudekum One of the problems with the so called “alt right” is that it is founded on the “left/right” political paradigm and assumes an argumentative political stance as its starting point. Though conservatism as a worldview is ultimately tied to […]
By D.J. Webb Libertarian Alliance Something interesting is afoot. We appear to be witnessing the re-emergence of the nation-state. Although it is true that the Western powers have for decades followed anti-national policies, ones that have unpicked much of the cultural fabric of a historic nation-state, geopolitical realities […]
