A deepening political fragmentation in US politics that stems from an ongoing war between different social classes in the country has given […]
By Walter Bragman Salon.Com Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump(Credit: Reuters/Brian Snyder/Photo montage by Salon) There are perhaps no three words more jarring to liberals than “President Donald Trump.” The GOP front-runner and presumptive nominee has undoubtedly made enemies with his nativist rhetoric and bellicose persona. That said, now […]
By Thomas Knapp The Garrison Center In March, an open letter from 121 Republican “national security leaders” characterized GOP presidential front-runner Donald Trump’s foreign policy vision as “wildly inconsistent and unmoored in principle,” swinging “from isolationism to military adventurism within the space of one sentence.” While it’s always wise […]
By Jp Cortez of Sound Money Defense League Competition is a good thing. It brings out the best in athletes. It brings out the best in students. It brings out the best in companies. Since monopolies remove the positive effects of competition, however, it makes sense to reexamine […]
By William Schnack Chris Shaw wrote an article called “Borders Between the Anarchists,” in which he suggests that it is possible for anarchist communists and capitalists to get along.

Todd Lewis is joined by Keith Preston from ATS to discuss the nature of the state.
The media coverage of Superstorm Sandy was 24/7. However, there was little mention of climate change. Why is this? And why didn’t Obama or Romney mention climate change at all in the three TV debates despite a summer of record temperatures, historic drought and wildfires in the US? […]
Climate change is an urgent topic of discussion among politicians, journalists and celebrities…but what do scientists say about climate change? Does the data validate those who say humans are causing the earth to catastrophically warm? Richard Lindzen, an MIT atmospheric physicist and one of the world’s leading climatologists, […]
By William S. Lind Traditional Right Russia intervened in Syria, did what it came to do–strengthen the position of the Assad government–and has partially withdrawn. Meanwhile, our war with ISIS continues its endless futility, an inevitable result of war by pinking. War by plinking, using airstrikes that blow […]
Paul Gottfried explains what historic fascism actually was on the Tom Woods Show. Listen here. How about that: fascism has a definition after all, and isn’t just a term for whatever people happen to dislike. In his new book, Paul Gottfried traces the meaning of the word and […]
An interesting debate between Rothbardian anarcho-capitalist Tom Woods and conservative Catholic traditionalist James Kalb. Listen here. Liberalism portrays itself as the ideology of liberty and liberation, as neutral between competing views of the good, and as the position all right-thinking people should adopt. None of this is true, […]

By Chris Shaw I’ve heard it contended that when it comes to a multiplicitous anarchist social order, where anarcho-communists and anarcho-capitalists could live side by side in their own distinct communities, such an order would be practically impossible due to ancoms refusing to recognise the existence of property […]
By Nicholas Casey New York Times IN THE MOUNTAINS OF COLOMBIA — The rebel camp is a Communist time capsule. An old guerrilla fighter sings songs about Che Guevara on his guitar as a crowd leans in to listen, armed with rifles and grenades. Salaries do not exist […]

Tom Woods takes on the Israel Lobby. Listen here. We are supposed to believe that the network of organizations promoting a particular view of Israel and the U.S. relationship with that country doesn’t exist, and that anyone who says it does is a crank and a hater. Yet […]

Press TV. Listen here: http://presstv.ir/Detail/2016/04/19/461447/US-election-Donald-Trump/ “It’s only because of the system that Donald Trump’s candidacy is as popular as it is,” Keith Preston says.

I was first introduced to Nisbet when I was a college student in the Reagan era. A left-anarchist friend gave me a copy of Nisbet’s Question for Community and said, “Check this guy out! He’s supposed to be a conservative but he sounds almost like one of us.” […]
Iran Daily Listen here: http://www.presstv.ir/Detail/2016/04/13/460636/Syria-Assad-Daesh-US-PlanB-Preston/ The US is seeking to further escalate the years-long conflict in Syria through its so-called “Plan B,” in a bid to remove Syrian President Bashar al-Assad from power as his government does not bend to America and Israel’s will, says a Virginia-based author […]
A good liberal/conservative discussion.
Against the Alternative Right. By Cathy Young The Federalist Who’d have thought that in 2016, we would be discussing whether mainstream Republicans and conservatives should be nicer to white nationalists? Yet here we are. The debate is, of course, about the “alternative right,” suddenly propelled into visibility by […]
In defense of the Alternative Right. By Allum Bokhari and Milo Yiannoupolis Breitbart.Com A specter is haunting the dinner parties, fundraisers and think-tanks of the Establishment: the specter of the “alternative right.” Young, creative and eager to commit secular heresies, they have become public enemy number one to beltway conservatives […]
The Proudhonism of the Right. By Gene Callahan The American Conservative Distributism is the rather awkward name given to a program of political economy formulated chiefly by G.K. Chesterton and Hilaire Belloc, two of the most prominent English writers of the early 20th century. Both Catholics, they sought […]
A nuanced article on Trump from the Left. If all leftists were like James Petras, I might not criticize the Left so fervently. By James Petras Dissident Voice From left to right a raucous chorus has emerged to denounce Republican Presidential primary frontrunner Donald Trump as a ‘fascist’. […]
The time has come for free-market socialist-anarchism. Combine the critique of state-capitalism outlined in this article by Charles Johnson with the libertarian socialist paradigm, and you’ve got something. By Charles Johnson Center for a Stateless Society We libertarians defend economic freedom, not big business. We advocate free markets, […]
The best response to the Trump campaign from the Left that I’ve seen to date. This is a must read, and a reminder of why Counterpunch is one of the few leftist forums to take their anti-imperialist seriously. This article is an almost perfect critique of the Left […]
By Glenn Harlan Reynolds Washington Post Glenn Harlan Reynolds is the Beauchamp Brogan Distinguished Professor of Law at the University of Tennessee. He blogs at InstaPundit.com. If there’s strong evidence that you’ve committed a crime, there’s still hope. Despite the evidence, those responsible for convicting you may choose […]
A debate between Walter Block and Robert Wenzel hosted by Tom Woods. I found myself generally agreeing with Wenzel in this. Listen here. When libertarian scholar Walter Block announced the creation of Libertarians for Trump, he generated a good deal of controversy. Now he explains his support for […]
The crack in the PC Coalition gets wider. This is awesome! Hopefully, the party conventions this summer will resemble Chicago 1968. Street fighting between Clintonistas and BLM, and between Trumpians and Neocons, would be beyond awesome.
Most liberal, progressives, and social democrats hold up the Scandinavian countries as their models. But are these really the paradises their admirers make them out to be? Tom Woods and his various guests in these podcasts think not. In these systems, not only do ordinary folks pay income […]
If anything, class divisions should be wider in the blue states because the upper classes in those regions are generally wealthier, and there’s also a larger upper middle class. In Vermont, for example, disparity between social classes is growing at as fast a rate as any other state. […]
This is a good discussion of the minimum wage. Apparently, the folks against C4SS have contending views on this issue. See Cory Massimo vs. Kevin Carson. AM 770 KTTH radio host Ben Shapiro and Seattle City Councilwoman Kshama Sawant, along with others, engaged in a civil discussion about […]
On this week’s episode of The Empire Files, Abby Martin interviews American political figure Ralph Nader about the 2016 presidential race—from the “Brown Shirt” Trump movement to “corporate criminal” Hillary Clinton—and the reality of who has power in America. Known for his widely-popular presidential run in 2000, he […]
Contra Chomsky, I’d argue Hillary is just as awful as a neocon which is why many neocons have moved in her direction. By Joseph Mulkerin Truth-Out Ever since the 2012 election results were certified, the conventional wisdom has been that Hillary Clinton is all but guaranteed a coronation […]
Chomsky makes his case against for Hillary as the lesser of the evils (mostly on anti-neocon and environmentalist grounds). Renowned political theorist Noam Chomsky is often cited for his criticism of the US political system. In the second of a special two-part interview, Chomsky sits down with Mehdi […]
This has to be one of the stupidest left-wing articles I have ever read, but it illustrated very well what is wrong with democratist thinking. Anyone who believes the state is merely a value neutral social umpire probably believes in Santa Claus somewhere along the way. By Philip […]
An interesting debate between free market libertarian Steve Horwitz and Rawlsian liberal Jeffery Reiman. Wealth inequality is real, but is it fair? The distribution of wealth in America is lopsided in the favor of the 1% – a point made by the video “Wealth Inequality in America.” This […]
