National-Anarchist Tribal Alliance-New York
New group formed for the New York area. Check out their very well done blog.
The Tea Parties Will Not Turn Antiwar
Good stuff on the neocon nature of the Tea Partiers from my friend Jack Ross at the American Conservative. But even he seems to take a misguidedly benighted view of the tea parties, as implied by the notion that they have been merely co-opted by the neocons. I […]
Harlem Minister Says Boycott Gentrication
This article is a couple of years old, but this guy is on the right track. Gentrification usually brings with it higher rents, more laws, and more police repression, not to much attacks on economic and cultural activities that don’t jibe with the yuppie lifestyle. Mr. Manning, who […]
Raimondo on the Joke That the Left Has Become
Justin sums it up pretty well in this one. Now that Bush’s wars are Obama’s wars, the antiwar left is silent. Oh, they still maintain they oppose the occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan, but that’s only in theory. In practice, they seek to subordinate the antiwar issue to […]
Paul Craig Roberts on the State of the System
America’s Devolution Into Dictatorship The fact remains that Nixon was driven from office because of the Watergate burglary. No one was harmed. Nixon did not kill anyone or claim the right to kill, without proof or accountability, American citizens. If the dastardly President Nixon had a Justice (sic) […]
Memoirs of a Scumbag: George W. Bush
Interesting article on President Bush II (aka President Alfred E. Neuman I) from Russia Today. Vincent Bugliosi has the right idea on what to do with this asshole: “If Bush, in fact, intentionally misled this nation into war, what is the proper punishment for him? Since many Americans […]
Critique of the Alternative Right from an "Anti-Fascist" Leftist
This is pretty good. It’s a much more objective, analytical, and intelligently written examination of the Alternative Right than what is typical among most “ant-fascist” types. Some highlights with my comments: Paleoconservatives don’t have a mass following or much in the way of institutional power these days, but […]
The Prison-Industrial Complex
Good posts on the PIC by Stuart Bramhall. Part One and Part Two.
A Mainstream Libertarian Almost Gets It
Radley Balko is one of the very best critics of the American police state of anyone who is relatively mainstream. Here he discusses what he considers to be the baffling situation of liberal media support for the drug war and opposition to marijuana legalization. His answer is that […]
How the Left Won the Cold War
Interesting and, I think, accurate history of the modern Left from Paul Gottfried.
NSC Study Shows You are More Likely to Killed By a Cop Than a Terrorist
After 9/11, the fear of another attack on U.S. soil cleanly supplanted the fear of having one`s penis chopped off by a vengeful lover in the pantheon of irrational American fears. While we`re constantly being told that another attack is imminent and that radical Islamic fundamentalists are two […]
Tuesday's Election: Things Are Moving Along as Expected
On six different occasions between 1984 and 1994, I cast a ballot in an American election, including five general elections and one primary. Of my five general election votes, four were for Democrats and one for a Libertarian. I’ve only voted for a Republican once, in the 1988 […]
The Left on the "March for Sanity"
The Phantom Left by Chris Hedges, representing the “good” Left The two comics evoked the phantom left, as the liberal class always does, in defense of moderation, which might better be described as apathy. If the right wing is crazy and if the left wing is crazy, the […]
Is the U.S. a Fascist Police State?
Yes! says Gonzalo Lira. A police-state is not necessarily a dictatorship. On the contrary, it can even take the form of a representative democracy. A police-state is not defined by its leadership structure, but rather, by its self-protection against the individual. A definition of “fascism” is tougher to […]
Freeman Arrested
He revoked his consent to be governed but they arrested him anyway. Imagine that.
US Crime: Don't Call The Police, They Won't Be Responding!
by Jeff Prager For about a decade and a half, crime rates in the United States have generally fallen. That is the good news. The bad news is that even during those “good” years, the United States still had the most car thefts, the most rapes and the […]
Getting Back to the ‘Real’ Constitution–Fagettaboutit
by Kirkpatrick Sale There’s much talk these days, particularly by the Tea Party types, about getting back to the “real” Constitution, forcing the Obama government to honor the “original intent” of the Founding Fathers, and “understanding the Constitution through the eyes of its creators,” as one contributor to […]
The Black Panthers' Community Service Programs
Has anyone read this book? It looks rather interesting. Some of this stuff would seem to be a possible prototype for replacing the state’s social welfare system. Presumably, these models could be utilized by separatist or decentralist movements of any type.
Dumbokrats attempt to bribe Dennis Steele into quiting race with offer of job in new administration

On Putting the Legal Racket Out of Business
Tonight, I had a conversation with a woman who has worked in a clerical capacity for the court system in three different jurisdictions in my state. She told me that during her time as a court employee she observed that if drug cases were eliminated from the court […]
Jonathan Bowden on Julius Evola
Interesting talk by Bowden. I’m not that big on Evola, I prefer Nietzsche, but either way this is a great discussion of religion, philosophy, and society. Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, Part 6, Part 7.
Good Liberals for the Therapeutic Police State
Chris George discusses one of liberalism’s greatest hypocrisies. One thing that libertarians, anarchists, radical anti-statists, left-wing civil libertarians, and anti-authoritarians who wish to repeal prohibition laws should always remember is that this automatically puts us in conflict with the proponents of therapeutic-feminist-liberalism. The primary enemies on these issues […]

If You’re Not an Extremist, You’re Not Paying Attention
From Kevin Carson. Read the entire article. If you think the anti-government paranoids of right and left are “extremists,” it’s a safe bet you don’t know much of anything at all about the actual historical record of federal law enforcement, the content of legislation like the 1996 Counter-Terrorism […]
The New Ruling Class And Taxpayer Funded Brainwashing
by Dr. Sean Gabb One of the many annoyances of living in a country like England—and I believe this also applies to America—is that lack of effective opposition within the mainstream media to outrageous acts of the authorities. I do not mean by this that when the police […]
Understanding Carl Schmitt
My interview with Richard Spencer for AltRight Radio. Listen to the podcast.
The American Economy: It Ain't Doin' Too Good
From The Economic Collapse. Does anyone really want to hear that America is in decline? For decades, most of us have been raised to believe that the United States is “number one” and that anyone who doubts that fact is a “gloom and doomer” that should just pack […]
US Drops From First To Seventh In Average Wealth Per Adult, Behind Singapore, Sweden, And… France
From Tyler Durden. (hat tip to James O’Meara) As if we needed more warnings that the US is rapidly losing its position as the world’s superpower and wealth aggregator, is the following chart from Credit Suisse, which ranks the top 10 countries in the world in terms of […]

Leftist Psychology: Delusions in Disguise
by Michael Parish I’ve blogged on here before about the psychological inadequacies plaguing the modern Left, but I’ve never systematically analyzed them and presented a full conclusion. So, to cop a line from Lenny Bruce, I, as a “surgeon with a scalpal for false values” will dedicate this […]
Only the Guilty Need Fear? Tell It to Anne Frank
by Kevin Carson The U.S. government’s attempt to expand the surveillance state — in this case to make it easier to wiretap the Internet — is pretty much a dog-bites-man story. A fairly typical response is: “I’m not worried. After all, I’m not doing anything wrong.” Sure. Because […]
If you really wanted to make a "better" state, it should be easy enough.
Good suggestions from Anna Morgenstern: Even within the context of welfare-state capitalism, if people were serious about reform, they could do it quite easily. But the most logical reforms are not on the table, because of ideological bullshit. The truth is, social-democrat types love the super rich and […]
The Lying Media and the War on Terror
Excellent post from Sheldon Richman. The U.S. media does need formal censorship in order to silence dissident opinion. Because it is part of the wider ruling class apparatus, the media practices self-censorship. See the evidence: Who Owns the Media? The Six Monolithic Corporations That Control Almost Everything We […]

The Left/Right Libertarian Economic Debate: Inequality-Good or Bad?
An Immoral System Can Only Be Sustained by Immorality by Kevin Carson [Keith: As a Hobbesian, Nietzschean, and Stirnerite, I reject the paradigm that posits a morality/immorality dichotomy, but that’s just nit-picking. This is good stuff.] Should We Care About Inequality? by Jason Sorens, founder of the Free […]

Indigenous Resistance: From Colombia to Palestine
Article by Anna Baltzer The gravest threat of all faced by Colombia’s indigenous population is cultural destruction and extinction. Of Colombia’s 102 indigenous tribes, 32 percent are in danger of disappearance. Eighteen tribes have fewer than two hundred persons remaining. One of the most important forms of resistance […]
The Trial of Geert Wilders: Totalitarian Humanism in Action
Read the report from the BBC. (hat tip to Brady Campbell) I’m not a fan of Wilders. His politics are basically the same as those of the neocons, e.g. Zionism, Islamophobia, and neoliberal economics. Nor do I agree with ideas like banning the Koran, minarets, headscarves, or burquas […]
Feminism/Multiculturalism Clash in New Jersey Domestic Violence Case
State court throws out religion as defense in case involving husband’s non-consensual sex with wife. (hat tip to David Heleniak)
Diego Santillan's After the Revolution
The full text of this work is available online. As for as I know, Santillan’s book is the most comprehensive explanation of how an anarcho-syndicalist economy is supposed to work. Here’s Santillan’s biographical entry from Wikipedia.
Karl Marx: Bourgeois Con Man?
Interesting discussion of Marxism by Gary North from a Mises Institute seminar from 1988. I don’t agree with North’s religious determinism any more than I agree with Marx’s and John Stuart Mill’s economic determinism, but North’s critique of Marxism (and Marxists) is rather penetrating. This comparison of Marxist […]
