Nexus X HumectressInteresting. The Skeptical Libertarian. We libertarians like to gripe about all the things that are getting worse for freedom in this country, but along some dimensions, the libertarian agenda of personal liberty is winning: from the right to marry to the right to carry, America has become much more […]
Before there can be Left party, there has to be a class base for the Left. Take the example of the Green Party, probably the largest left party in the U.S. at present.The problem with the Green Party, aside from the usual problems that plague all third parties, […]
I was recently trying to think of all the arguments that have been offered against the ATS philosophy and strategy. I would define the ATS position as follows: 1. The international plutocratic empire is the enemy of all mankind except a small number of people who are its […]
A must read. By Deepa Kumar Open Democracy Colonial feminism is based on the appropriation of women’s rights in the service of empire and has been widely utilised in justifying aggression in the Middle East. But is it liberal? In a recent CNN interview, religion scholar Reza Aslan […]
Hard Core Talk is a new kind of old-school radio show, which combines the genteel approach of old-time radio, with a youthful vitality and New Right metapo http://www.gofundme.com/gy2l90 Ever notice how many great and talented artists in every genre of cultural end up struggling for recognition […]
Not bad. It looks like someone has been reading ATS. I certainly hope the Alternative Right/Neo-Reactionary/Dark Enlightenment evolves in this direction. I noticed in the comments threads at Radix that some of the fascists and white supremacists aren’t too happy with this piece, lol. By Batu Caliskan Radix […]
I posted these thoughts in the comments thread in response the recent article, “The True Global Minority,” by Bay Area Guy from Alternative Right, and follow up comments by “Dota.” I’m reposting this as a main blog entry because I think it summarizes the current “state of the […]
Duh?

By David Morris Common Dreams Ballot initiatives more accurately take the ideological pulse of the people because debates over issues are not disrupted by the personality politics and subterfuge that dominate candidate races. (Photo: Susy Morris/flickr/cc) On November 4th Democrats lost big when they ran a candidate but […]
“Politically, we have here an interesting basis for the conscious co-operation of the radical Left-wingers and the New Right, as well as with religious and other anti-modern movements, such as the ecologists and Green theorists, for example. The only thing that we insist on in creating such a […]
By Ryan McMaken LewRockwell.Com The Catalonian regional government has signaled that it plans to go ahead with a vote on secession from Spain on Sunday, November 9. The Spanish central government insists that the vote is illegal and the Spanish state will not recognize any vote for secession. […]
By John W. Whitehead Rutherford Institute LewRockwell.Com We want no Gestapo or secret police. The FBI is tending in that direction. They are dabbling in sex-life scandals and plain blackmail. J. Edgar Hoover would give his right eye to take over, and all congressmen and senators are afraid […]
It should be remembered that most of the world’s nations and cultures are exceedingly conservative when compared with the West. This is a fact that will have to be recognized during the course of building a global resistance to the international plutocracy and the American empire. By Bay […]
By Daniel McCarthy The American Conservative Constantine Pankin / Shutterstock.com Tuesday’s Republican tide wasn’t surprising, but there’s more to be said about it than just the obvious. The obvious is that this class of Senate seats was last up in 2008, a presidential year that was the high-water […]
Here is an illustration of what I mean by totalitarian humanism: ““Rather than deny the shift, or stop at trying to reverse it in legislatures, the courts and at ballot boxes, conservatives are instead attempting to erect a legal architecture that will wall them off from the growing […]
Maybe now the cultural left can get a life. By Valerie Tarico Alternet Days may be dark right now—after all, as the memes proclaim, axial tilt is the reason for the season. But things are looking bright for those who would like to see humanity more grounded in […]
Imagine in the year 2044 a poll is taken showing the following results: 10% of Americans consider themselves to be anarchists. 20% consider themselves to be “hard-core” libertarians. 20% consider themselves to be “moderate” libertarians. 20% consider themselves to be “libertarian-leaning.” 55% say that would prefer decentralizing the […]
By Emily Ekins Reason.Com Handsraised Yesterday, Rachel Burger at Townhall made the case that “Libertarianism isn’t confined to Caucasians anymore.” Data from both the Pew Research Center and the Reason-Rupe poll bolster her thesis, particularly among younger people. Pew finds that roughly equal numbers of white (12%) and Hispanic Americans (11%) say the term […]
By Conor Friedersdorf The Atlantic Katerha/Flickr “Has the ‘Libertarian Moment’ Finally Arrived?” The question was put to New York Times Magazine readers by journalist Robert Draper, who has elicited disdainful responses from Paul Krugman of the Times, Jonathan Chait of New York, and my colleague David Frum. All three […]
The resistance is growing. By Matt Agorist Free Thought Project The citizens of California let the establishment know how they felt about the drug war and mass incarceration Tuesday in a landmark vote. With the passage of Proposition 47 as many as 10,000 people could be eligible for […]
The revolution against the War on Drugs is spreading. Sometime during the 1990s I decided that the best way to fight the drug war police state would be for its opponents to work to gain political power at the local level and fight it from the bottom up. […]
Sorry, free-market absolutist libertarians, but “Let them eat cake!” is a non-starter during a time of growing poverty and widening class divisions. Libertarians and anarchists need to move past fanatical views on economics, and develop a more pragmatic libertarian-populist progressive-conservative radical-center idistributist-decentralist approach that can appeal to the […]
By David Swanson Counterpunch.Org Is it worse to put into Congress or the White House someone who wants to end wars and dismantle much of the military but also wants to abolish Social Security and Medicare and the Department of Education and several other departments they have trouble […]
By Justin Raimondo Antiwar.Com The Obama administration “has no foreign policy,” says Rep. Paul Ryan, the GOP’s 2012 vice-presidential candidate. While we may tune out this kind of election year rhetoric, similar complaints – no matter which president is being denounced – are common on both sides of […]

Unfortunately, some folks on the rightist end of libertarianism, anarcho-capitalism, or “anarchism of the right” have been veering off into this neo-reactionary, nostalgic monarchist, or neo-fascist stuff just as some on the left end of anarchism and libertarianism have veered off into social democracy (Chomsky), totalitarian humanism (the […]
1 hr · I’m not big on voting, but if I had my pick I suppose I’d prefer gridlocked government where one party has the presidency and the other party has the Congress. Same at the state level: one party controlling the governorship and the other controlling the […]

By David Orr Yale University The awareness that humans could alter the climate of Earth has dawned slowly on our consciousness. In 1896, Swedish chemist Svante Arrhenius deflected his anguish over a failed marriage into remarkably tedious and, as it turned out, accurate calculations about the effect of […]
By Jamelle Bouie The Daily Beast The RNC’s ill-worded tweet about the “end” of racism is a nice time to remember that racial bias is still real and still affects millions of Americans. This past Sunday, to commemorate the anniversary of the Montgomery Bus Boycott—a long-planned assault on […]
By Fred Reed As I write America waits, again, to see whether blacks will riot, this time in Ferguson. Will they loot, burn, kill, and rape? The usual? The police in Ferguson prepare to protect stores from looters, as rioters seem to regard their insurrections as shopping opportunities. […]
By Frank Serpico Politico.Com Watch the classic film here. n the opening scene of the 1973 movie “Serpico,” I am shot in the face—or to be more accurate, the character of Frank Serpico, played by Al Pacino, is shot in the face. Even today it’s very difficult for […]
I originally posted this nearly five years ago, but I would still stand by every word. 1. I agree with the Augustinian view of the state as a robber band writ large. 2. I agree with the Stirnerite view of political obligation. Why should I obey this guy […]
While I’m not a fan or supporter of this guy, he may be opening some doors that those of us with a much more radical position can make use of in the future. By Jack Hunter The American Conservative “The Kentucky senator has consistently challenged long-held GOP views […]
It’s good to see someone from the “conservative” end of the spectrum finally admit to this: “The Reagan Doctrine was one of the least impressive parts of Reagan’s record, and it inflicted enormous damage on the countries where it was put into practice. Moreover, it proved to be […]
Anarchists and libertarians, pay attention. This article argues conclusively that taking extremist positions on social issues is a political non-starter, as I have long suggested and as this Gallup poll points out. Excerpts: “But social issues are rating near the bottom of voter concerns heading into the 2014 election. Abortion […]
This is absolutely required reading for anarchists and libertarians. You cannot understand modern statecraft without understanding James Burnham. By Daniel McCarthy The American Conservative illustration by Michael Hogue America is badly governed. Congress has dismal approval ratings, sometimes as low as single digits. Presidential elections, settled by popular […]
Look for the entire spectrum of the radical right to start embracing some kind of libertarianism, anarchism, decentralism, or secession as its last hope. “I first really noticed the impact of godless libertarianism in the GOP in this year’s legislative session in Louisiana, when we couldn’t get together […]
