Nexus X HumectressBy John Whitehead Rutherford Institute “[E]verywhere, “time is winding up,” in the words of one of our spirituals, “corruption in the land, people take a stand, time is winding up.”—Martin Luther King Jr. We now live in a two-tiered system of governance. There are two sets of laws: […]
By Dr. Sean Gabb To understand the rubbish heap that England has become, it is useful to look at the circumstances that prompted the emergence of the modern State in Europe. Around the end of the thirteenth century, the world entered one of its cooling phases. In a […]
Advocates for Self-Government Last issue we brought news of an amazing survey by FreedomWorks that found libertarianism rising rapidly, especially among the young. Here’s more great news along those lines. First, a new survey by the Public Religion Research Institute — a nonpartisan group that studies religion, values, and public life […]
The Non-Anarchist James Joll, the foremost non-anarchist historian of anarchism, warned of underestimating “the extent to which men are moved by abstract ideas.” While anarchists point to the ills of capitalist government as their rationale, they are not the only opponents to capitalist power, just the most simplistic. […]
By Matt Parrott Traditionalist Youth Network Some guy named Todd Lewis strongly disliked my recent Counter-Currents article, Weird Science: Liberal Creationism vs. Christian Creationism. His response, hosted at the otherwise praiseworthy Attack the System anarchist website, Contra Parrott: The Emptiness of Third-Way Anthropology, was absolutely riddled with scathing insults. While […]
By Jacob Sullum This week a Texas grand jury declined to indict a marijuana grower for shooting and killing a sheriff’s deputy who burst into his home in the early morning to execute a search warrant. Henry Goedrich Magee, who was indicted on drug and weapon charges (the […]
“Like any ideology that has attracted a substantial following, libertarianism has splintered into a variety of sects. Thus, there are hard-core and soft-core libertarians; plumb-line and big-tent libertarians; Rothbard-loving and Rothbard-hating libertarians; pro-political and anti-political libertarians; academic and movement libertarians; thick and thin libertarians; socially conventional and libertine […]
This is actually more nuanced than what might be expected. Property and Freedom Society 2013 Conference
It would be interesting to see how our “left-libertarian” rivals respond to this. The nature of the totalitarian humanist revolution as a form of censorious persecution is made clear in Dr. Gabb’s presentation, and it is also demonstrated that the totalitarian humanists are not necessarily the sexual libertines […]
This will be a exercise in the reduction ad absurdum and a response to a couple of articles by Matt Parrott at Counter-Currents.com (CC).
By Matt Parrott I’m a bit old for Bill Nye. By the time his children’s science show came on in the early ’90′s, I had already graduated to reading Carl Sagan’s more advanced presentation of the vapid and vacuous “I Fucking Love Science!” worldview. My love of critical […]

One thing I continue to be impressed by is the diversity of opinion even among self-proclaimed libertarians and anarchists. There seems to be everything from “libertarian white supremacists” to “libertarian radical leftists” to “libertarian monarchists” to “libertarian Marxists” and everything in-between. It also seems there is no agreement […]

By Anthony Gregory The generation of libertarians seen in such outfits as SFL excites and encourages me. I especially approve its efforts to cleanse the movement of the type of bigotry that emerged after years of the libertarian movement’s circumstantial alliance with conservatives to battle against New Deal […]
By Max Borders Truth carries within itself an element of coercion. —Hannah Arendt Identity politics has come to the freedom movement. But does it fit? Many newly minted libertarians have come out of America’s indoctrination factories feeling a mix of guilt and sanctimony. They’re still libertarians, but they […]

Mere Anti-Statism It occurs to me that part of the reason that anarchists/libertarians are woefully unproductive in winning people over to anarchism en masse is because they (I’m fairly sure I’ve been guilty of this as well) see themselves as being above using strategies and arguments that the […]

By Stephan Kinsella Like everyone, my political and ethical views have evolved over time. From a somewhat racialist milieu in rural Louisiana, I consciously rejected racism when I was in my young teens. From a devout Catholic youth I became a secularist and freethinker at a fairly young […]
PolicyMic.Com Why We Need Prison Reform: Victimless Crimes Are 86% of the Federal Prison Population When we talk about the war on drugs, which is increasingly turning into a real war, we often overlook the fact that the “criminals” involved in the drug trade aren’t actually violating anyone’s rights.

By Justin Raimondo We haven’t seen anything like this since the Vietnam war era: an administration caught red-handed illegally and systematically spying on Americans in the midst of an increasingly unpopular war. At that time, too, the political class was badly divided, with the hard-liners circling their wagons […]

By Jesse Walker According to National Review‘s Betsy Woodruff, Hill aides are telling her that “we’re on the cusp of getting bipartisan prison-sentencing reform.” If they’re right, that’s a tribute, as Woodruff’s article shows, to carefully crafted left/right alliances.
