Nexus X HumectressThis piece by Carson is a good discussion of the varying shades of “left-libertarian” philosophy but it also provides a good illustration of the ghettoized thinking many radicals fall into. Take this statement: “To the general public these days, “left-libertarian” is more apt to call to mind a […]
Yes, yes, yes! A thousand times, yes! By Dan Sanchez Libertarian Alliance/LewRockwell.Com Left-libertarians who espouse “thick libertarianism” especially like to lump anti-“bigotry” (I’ll explain the scare quotes later) into libertarianism: e.g., anti-racism, anti-sexism, anti-homophobia, etc. The more principled ones are careful to insert the proviso that “libertarian” efforts […]
I agree with Dr. Gabb’s comments concerning this advertisement 100%. The discuss that follows on the Libertarian Alliance blog is also interesting. By Dr. Sean Gabb Libertarian Alliance I suspect that many of our regulars will need to pause when they see this, to wipe the vomit […]

I concur with Sean completely. I first became interested in the anti-imperialist cause through hearing about and reading about the Vietnam War as a kid. As a very young adult, I was involved in opposing the Reagan administration’s war in Central America. When the first Iraq War happened […]

By Jessica Lewis The Wall Street Journal We’re losing Iraq. Mosul, a great city in northern Iraq, now belongs to the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS). The world has changed overnight as a former al Qaeda affiliate wrested a major city from a state by force—and […]
Saigon and Phnom Pehn, 1975. Baghdad, 2014. This is more or less how I thought the Iraq War would turn out when it began in 2003. The progression of events has been very similar to what happened in Vietnam and Cambodia. An invasion, followed by destabilization, an unpopular […]
Countea de Nissa (County of Nice) won the ConIFA world cup final on June 9th in Sweden, coming out on top of eleven other teams from unrecognized nations around the world.

An alternative view to Keith Preston’s Forty Years in the Wilderness. People are rarely struck by trains they see coming. No-one expects to meet their end under the steel wheels of a hundred ton freight engine because no-one seriously believes they could fail to note the approach of […]
There has been a lot of talk about spree killers and gun control with the recent school shooting in Oregon and the rampaging cop killers in Las Vegas, NV and Canada. A few things to remember: The US police state and prison industrial complex incarcerates it’s own citizens […]
A collection of Star Wars art re-imagines the classic sci-fi story as a gritty TV series with realistic political undertones, exploring the moral ambiguity of military conflict and civil war. Poor kids are conscripted into the Storm Trooper infantry, and rebel insurgents are defectors from the imperial underclass […]
Rarely have I encountered an article that so vividly illustrates why the bulk of the “progressive” and “social democratic” Left is utterly worthless. The last sentence of this article is telling: “Only then can the Left shift the terrain of struggle away from apocalyptic fantasies of armed insurrection […]
I wrote this last week, but then decided I didn’t like it. However since everyone is talking ’bout UKIP here’s the actual situation. NOTE: Fans of the UKIP “revolution” should watch out for Thursday’s Newark-on-Trent by election, which is a parliamentary election on a first past the post […]
Listen to the interview. Topics include: •The recent elections in Europe •How the elections were a referendum on the neoliberal establishment •How European Nationalist parties are moving to the left economically •Whether the United State could see similar movements •Ralph Nader’s call for a left right alliance against […]
Watch the interview here. I feel somewhat vindicated now that such a venerated figure like Nader is advocating for the same basis set of positions and tactics (at least on topical issues) that I’ve advocated for years. Okay, my fellow anarchists, this is your chance. Nader has thrown […]
By Christopher Cantwell I spend a good deal of time on this blog talking about the State. Previously I’ve sort of mocked people who tell me “government isn’t the only oppressor you know!” because while it certainly isn’t the only, it certainly is the most dangerous, the most […]

CNN.Com CNN) — Members of a northeast Georgia SWAT team are “devastated” after a drug raid in which a flash-bang grenade landed in a 1-year-old’s playpen, seriously injuring the child, the Habersham County sheriff said Friday. The police officers involved have been called baby killers and received threats […]
The European elections saw gains by the far right, far left, libertarians, and radical populists. The common thread was opposition to the budding continental empire of the EU and its dominance by the neoliberal plutocracy. The Europeans need the message of anarcho-pluralism and pan-secessionism as much as Americans […]
This is the most interesting development I’ve seen in mainstream U.S. politics since the Ron Paul phenomenon. Hopefully, it will have a similar effect. The Ron Paul campaign not only spearheaded massive growth in the mainstream libertarian movement, but served as a “gateway drug” that led many of […]
By Timothy Noah The Washington Post Ralph Nader wants liberals and conservatives to work together. In his new book, “Unstoppable,” he cites many instances in which such cooperation ought to be possible, at least theoretically. But the book’s greater value may lie in the opportunity to contemplate, almost […]

By Randall Balmer One of the most durable myths in recent history is that the religious right, the coalition of conservative evangelicals and fundamentalists, emerged as a political movement in response to the U.S. Supreme Court’s 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling legalizing abortion. The tale goes something like […]

By Keith Preston AlternativeRight.Com by Keith Preston Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874-1936) bears the distinction of being a writer who resisted virtually all of the dominant trends of his era.

Seems the BBC is prepared to consider hard biological reasons for political opinions. So apparently there are solid biological differences between progressives and reactionaries, but not between ethnic groups. Note the implications of the scientists comments.

“The transformation of the Front from fringe group into France’s leading working-class party is not sudden. In the 1980s Jean-Marie Le Pen – the founder of the FN and the current leader’s father – targeted urban voters who were leaving the Communist Party in droves. It was he […]
The Left has abandoned class-based politics in favor of the identity politics, therapeutism, and cosmopolitanism of the left-wing of the middle class, and that is encouraged by international capitalist elites. Because of this, the Left has become worthless at representing the interests of the poor and working class. […]
