I don’t personally have a dog in this fight. I sympathize with anyone who is in revolt against the U.S. federal system, left, right, or center. Other than that, it’s none of my business how Oregonians organize their own economy or approach to ecological issues. Here’s another piece […]

This article by Peter Beinart confirms what I’ve been saying for some years now.

Hopefully. Politico.Com Nothing like Donald Trump has ever hit a major American political party: A blow-dried celebrity gleefully smashing one modern Republican certainty after the other.

Says supposed “anarchist” Spencer Sunshine: “The movement’s beliefs are a grab bag of toxic politics which commonly include: opposition to any restrictions on gun ownership; anti-immigrant xenophobia and Islamophobia; unrestricted use of private and public land; legal strategies of right-wing decentralization; a commitment to completely unregulated capitalism; various […]
There are many things that I admire about Noam Chomsky, but this is absolute crap. That this man is considered the world’s leading exponent of left-anarchism is pathetic. If someone of his stature had spend his career promoting actual libertarian socialism and anti-state radicalism rather than Keynesian liberal […]

This is beautiful. The entire array of the neoconservative/”movement conservative”/Republican alliance is squirming over Trump, which means they obviously think he’s a genuine threat to their hegemony on the American “right.” The best possible scenario that can come out of the Trump candidacy would be for the GOP […]

By Bryan Caplan David Card has a new study arguing that immigration has basically no effect on the wages of domestic low-skilled workers. This confirms his earlier results on the famed Mariel boatlift, when Castro freed 125,000 Cubans to flee to Miami. Is this result theoretically possible? How […]

From a discussion on Reddit. My colleagues might disagree with me and call me too reformist however I do think it is in the best interest of anarchists to support and vote for Sanders if they want improvement for the oppressed instead of romanticize about abstract ideals such […]
This blogger from The Divided Line explains why. I generally agree with what is being said here. Although I think the Left’s concept of “repressive tolerance” clearly has its roots in Marcuse, it’s overly simplistic to explain totalitarian humanism merely as an inversion of Marxism. At around 50:00, […]
