Kevin DeAnna of Youth for Western Civilization explains why.
A Mainstream Conservative Attacks Corporate Welfare

We’re in the process of changing over to a new web server and are experiencing the predictable technical difficulties. Be patient. We’ll be back in business soon enough.
The State of the Resistance Two Years Into the Age of Obama
During the reign of George W. Bush, I generally argued that the foundational issues for the construction of a genuine resistance movement in the USA should be the growth of the police state and the increasingly aggressive nature of American foreign policy, and that the primary method of […]
True Radicalism vs Totalitarian Humanism
Rarely do I find a single article that illustrates the immensely sharp and important differences between genuine radicalism and the totalitarian humanist outlook of the Left establishment. But this article by Thaddeus Russell illustrates the difference very clearly. The content of this article illustrates as well as anything […]
Lew Rockwell interviews Eric Margolis on Egypt
Listen to the podcast.
Buchanan on Egypt
Once again, Pat Buchanan reveals himself to be the most sensible of any foreign policy commentator who is relatively mainstream or well-known. Read the article at Taki’s Mag. There really is no substitute for hard-nosed realism.
Reagan at 100
by Jack Ross http://www.amconmag.com/postright/2011/02/06/reagan-at-100/ The need to finally blog about something other than Egypt moves me to acknowledge the gathering out of the TAC vault to acknowledge the Reagan centennial. Dan came closest to nailing it of anyone in this review for Reason, that he was an enormously […]
Bush Cancels Visit To Switzerland Due To Threat Of Torture Prosecution
We’re gonna get you yet, Georgie! I’m sure Vincent Bugliosi is thrilled with this news.
Reflections on the Revolution in Egypt
Justin Raimondo summarizes what’s going on there. Jesse Walker offers some thoughts as Reason. Paul Pillar of The National Interest argues that fears of an Islamic fundamentalist seizure of power in Egypt are overblown. David Lindsay at The American Conservative offers a similar analysis. John Glaser weighs in […]
The Scourge of Civilization, The State
History is not an uninterrupted natural development. Again and again development has stopped in one particular territory only to emerge somewhere else. Egypt, the Near East, the Mediterranean shores and Central Europe have all in turn been centers of historical development. But every time the pattern has been […]
Americans Are Oppressed, Too
Paul Craig Roberts discusses the American police state. Considering the data, one might conclude that the police are a greater danger to the public than are criminals. Indeed, the trauma from police assault can be worse than from assault by criminals. The public thinks the police are there […]
A New Independence
RJ from the Las Vegas N-A group has put together a wonderful new propaganda film for ARV/ATS. View it in full on Youtube. And be sure to subscribe to RJ’s video channel as well. His work features much ARV/ATS related material.
Rothbard Had It Right in 1970
Said Murray Rothbard of what the New Left had become at the end of the 1960s: To contemplate America in the grip of the Weathermen or Women’s Lib is to envision a truly nightmare world. Not only does Dick Nixon shine in comparison; I would venture to predict […]
Anarchy at The American Conservative
Kirkpatrick Sale praises Bakunin and Sheldon Richman discusses “free-market anti-capitalism.” Jesse Walker weighs in at Reason. It’s looks like I was somewhat ahead of my time in suggesting that an appropriate audience for anarchist ideas in 21st century America might be the forces of right-wing populism or small […]
Cultural Enrichment?
This is a hilarious take down of the PC hypocrites. Read the whole thing at Counter-Currents. The main proponents of multiculturalism as a means of enrichment are usually leftist college professors and other pundits. They speak of culture, but the majority of them actually know very little about […]

Lessons of the Iranian Revolution
An ominous example of what happens when a revolution goes awry. Watch it here. Read the timeline of events on Wikipedia. Some of the more obvious lessons of the failed Iranian revolution: 1. a revolution must have intelligent and competent leadership. 2. counter-institutional structures capable of filling a […]
On Occupancy and Use
A discussion of the mutualist/Proudhonian theory of property rights from Shawn Wilbur’s blog. This is actually an issue that I’m personally agnostic on. I think a case can be made for this position (generally) but I have some reservations about it as well, certainly enough reservations to prevent […]
Revolution in Arab States to Spread to the West?
Gerald Celente thinks so.
Egypt: Battle of the Narratives
by Justin Raimondo http://original.antiwar.com/justin/2011/02/01/egypt-battle-of-the-narratives/ From from showing that the Egyptian uprising is a CIA plot to get rid of a longtime client, the cable shows the complete incompetence and moral blindness of the Obama administration and the US diplomatic corps in general. Meeting with a few members of […]

Dissatisfied Customer Sues Escort Service
The latest candidate for the Darwin award. We see some pretty bizarre lawsuits at times around here, but Consumerist points us to one that takes bizarre lawsuits to a new level — involving a guy suing an escort firm for almost getting him arrested, even though the potential […]
Creating Conservative Anarchists
Two, three, many Joseph Sobrans would likely lead to a serious influx of former conservatives into our camp. He briefly ran for Vice President of the United States on the Constitution Party ticket in 2000, soon finding out that it was against the law to make a living […]
Armed Resistance to the Police State Grows
From Uhuru News: The question is whether the resistance of the African community will continue to be unorganized and isolated or if it will become organized to overturn the occupation that it responds to. InPDUM says that it must be organized! It is with organization that we gain […]
Only the Black Community Can Fix Black Education
Walter Williams explains why. What needs to be done is not rocket science. Our black ancestors, just two, three, four generations out of slavery, would not have tolerated school behavior that’s all but routine today. The fact that the behavior of many black students has become acceptable and […]
Immigration and Boutique Multiculturalism
Jaenelle Antas on the hypocrisy of the chattering classes. Historically, the multiculturalist experiment has failed everywhere. It leads to deep division and conflict. In the West, the problem will never be solved as long as we have an establishment that keeps pretending that we can all get along, […]
Government Isn’t You — It’s a Witch
Kevin Carson explains why. In yet another SWAT drug raid on the wrong house, as reported by Radley Balko (“Another Isolated Incident,” Reason, Jan. 13), the uniformed thugs pulled the father (David McKay) outside in his underwear, pointed a gun at the 13-year-old daughter and — standard operating […]
American Foreign Policy Promotes “Our Interests”? Puh-leeze!
Kevin Carson on the greatest lie American political class. American foreign policy is aimed at guaranteeing American corporations a supply of “safe, reliable and affordable” fuel from the Persian Gulf and Caspian Sea oil basins. It’s aimed at making sure foreign governments recognize and enforce the “intellectual property” […]

Why Are People Rioting in the Middle East?
Because they’re hungry. See this very good analysis from Richard Spencer. As David Hacket Fischer demonstrated in his monumental work The Great Wave (1996), commodity-price spikes—and related governmental interventions—regularly coincide with political violence and “regime change.” The 18th century, for instance, was an era of higher prices and […]

Ron Paul and Ralph Nader on Corporatism and War
by Sheldon Richman http://www.fff.org/comment/com1101o.asp What is American politics coming to? I just watched a joint interview with Ralph Nader and Rep. Ron Paul — and they were mostly on the same side! Nader has spent his life promoting government intervention in the economy. Paul has spent his life […]
The Revolutionary Wave
Raimondo reflects on the events transpiring in the Middle East. The revolutionary wave now sweeping the world will not exempt America, in spite of the myth of “American exceptionalism.” We cannot and will not be excepted from the iron laws of economics, which mandate that you can’t consume […]
Renewing the PATRIOT Act: The Police State Continues to Grow
Analysis by civil liberties attorney John Whitehead. Most Americans have been lulled into thinking that the pressing issues are voting in the next election or repealing health care. This is largely due to the media hoopla over the Tea Party, the recent elections and the health care law, […]
The Condition of the Left-Anarchist Movement in North America
An Irish Anarcho-Syndicalist shares his impression of the left-wing anarchist movement in North America. See the interview here. What he describes is pretty much the same thing that I observed during my time in that movement during the 80s. Some highlights with my comments: In total I spoke […]

Confessions of a Right-Wing Liberal
Murray Rothbard’s classic. Twenty years ago I was an extreme right-wing Republican, a young and lone “Neanderthal” (as the liberals used to call us) who believed, as one friend pungently put it, that “Senator Taft had sold out to the socialists.” Today, I am most likely to be […]

Youth Are More Radically Opposed to the Government Than the Tea Parties
The youth are the future. A statistic from PPP that got little play from liberal commentaries showed that American youths — not the tea parties — are more inclined to think of violence against the US government as acceptable. A full 17 percent of those ages 18-29 said […]

by Andrew Yeoman http://www.bayareanationalanarchists.com/?p=273 “There is a distinction to be made between a principled anti-Zionism, and legitimate critique of Jewish influence, political & economic power, and the Judeo-Obsessiveness of many ‘Rightists’ and Nationalists who trace everything and anything back to the Great Jewish Conspiracy, unbroken and relentless, going […]
