What’s the Point of the Libertarian Party?
By Chris Shaw The concept of a libertarian party should be simple.

The Emerging Clinton/Neocon Alliance on Foreign Policy
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 […]

A Conservative Traditionalist Endorses Attack the System
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 […]
Globalism, a tired philosophy
By D.J. Webb Libertarian Alliance Something interesting is afoot. We appear to be witnessing the re-emergence of the nation-state.

Social Conservatives, However Reluctant, Are Warming to the Idea of Trump
The poor social conservatives. They’ve gone from being useful idiots for Nixon, to useful idiots for Reagan, to useful idiots for the neocons, to useful idiots for Trump. They’re kind of like a woman that gets taken advantage of by one abusive husband or boyfriend after another. “We’ll […]
Breitbart, ‘Renegade Jews,’ And The Anti-Semitic Wing Of The Trump Movement

How Sanders Could Lay the Foundation for a Third US Political Party
A more viable strategy for the progressives might be for someone like Jill Stein to enter the Democratic contest in 2020 and build on the Sanders legacy. Sanders has pulled a Ron Paul in the Democratic Party (though more successfully than what Paul achieved in the GOP), and […]
Everything I Predicted Has More or Less Become True

The Presidential Race and the Limitations of Liberal Democracy
My latest take on the presidential contest (not to be confused with an actual endorsement of any of the candidates). Some polls now show Sanders actually having a better chance of beating Trump than Clinton. Up until ten years ago, maybe even more recently, it would have impossible […]

US election: Donald Trump surges into tie with Hillary Clinton as Bernie Sanders supporters switch sides
It is interesting how this election is essentially unfolding according to the ATS playbook. Ten years ago, I predicted that U.S. society would continue moving leftward until the Clinton Democrats began to be considered conservative, and liberalism would come to be dominated by trends more closely resembling the […]

Trump Fans and ‘Social Justice Warriors,’ Two Sides of the Same Authoritarian Coin
By Elizabeth Nolan Brown Reason At first blush, the anti-political correctness crusaders that make up Donald Trump’s online army have little in common with the so-called “social justice warriors” they claim to abhor. Some will even argue that trigger-warning-happy, intolerance-intolerant campus activists and their digital counterparts are actually driving […]
What Can Gold do for Our Money?
By Stefan Gleason One of the chief virtues of a gold standard is that it serves as a restraint on the growth of money and credit. It makes runaway government deficit spending and major monetary catastrophes such as hyperinflation practically impossible. Opponents of a gold standard can’t defend […]

Gary Johnson’s Pot Use Bugs Conservatives; John McAfee Would Rather Have Sex with Whales than Debate Again: Libertarian Party Roundup

Building the Greens Into a Mass Party: Interview with Bruce Dixon

Socialist Alternative, led by Seattle City Council member […]
America Needs Four Parties
All that it would take for the US to become a four-party rather than two-party state would be for Sanders to ultimately endorse Jill Stein of the Greens over Hillary, and for the anti-Trump Republicans to start an independent party of their own or make a run on […]
On Foreign Policy, Hillary Clinton Is the Only Republican Left
