As it should be. Resistance to the police state is by far the most important domestic issue in the United States, much more so than competing economic philosophies, or the “Who’s Most Oppressed?” pissing contest. By Matt Agorist Free Thought Project After a 9 hour deliberation, a jury […]

This should ruffle some feathers. I should qualify that I am not necessarily taking Hoppe’s side in this argument, which is a growing argument in libertarian and anarchist milieus, concerning whether anti-statism is more compatible with a leftist or rightist worldview.

The Supreme Court represents the values of the ruling class at any particular time. This has been true throughout American history.

Ah! Much better. By Petr Mach Reason.Com Dalibor Roháč wrote an interesting Reason piece where he argues that despite all its flaws, the European Union (E.U.) is the best real scenario that European libertarians can have and, therefore, should accept it. Roháč enumerates many of the E.U.’s weaknesses—and […]
“Victory for the Eurosceptic forces would likely be a victory for protectionism, economic nationalism, immigration barriers, and Putin.” They say that like it’s a bad thing. I always did think Reason tended to be a bit neoconnish and this illustrates it. Support for “free trade” (globalization) is definitely […]
The new city-state system begins to rise. By Misha Glenny BBC News Hundreds of mayors are getting together to build a global network that could shift the balance of power and create a new force to be reckoned with. Tousle-haired and enthusiastic Mayor Eberhard van der Laan welcomes […]
By Parag Khanna The Atlantic Last week, the world’s most globe-spanning empire until the mid-20th century let its fate be decided by 3.6 million voters in Scotland.

The End of Capitalism This is one of the most striking and intelligent articles I’ve ever read, encouraging a total reconfiguring of how to view capitalism and revolution. Russell Means was a leader in the American Indian Movement (AIM) of the 1960s and 70s, and remains one of […]
Erik von Kuehnelt-Leddihn’s classic Portland Declaration would seem to be a decent program for the right-wing of pan-secessionism, particularly those with a religious or traditional conservative bent, just as the “Wisdom and Vision” statement is an excellent model for the left-wing of pan-secessionism. by Erik von Kuehnelt-Leddihn.

By Greg Johnson Counter-Currents.Com As I write, the Scottish independence referendum remains undecided, but the “No” camp is in the lead. Regardless of the outcome, though, Scotland will have more independence, either leaving the UK altogether or enjoying greater autonomy within it. I was, frankly, surprised that many White Nationalists […]

By David Morris Alternet Since 1945 the number of nations has soared from about 60 to more than 180. The first wave of new sovereign states came with the decolonization movement of the 1960s and 1970s; the second in the early 1990s with the break-up of the Soviet […]
Wall Street Journal Luci Gutiérrez It happened last Sunday at football stadiums around the country.
