Nexus X HumectressWhat I’ve been saying all along. The money quote: “The current trends in America, Wall Street getting richer, everyone else getting poorer, politicians of both parties feeding brazenly at Wall Street’s trough, the party of the Left in full blown attack gear not on inequality, which it has […]
A lecture by American Communist Michael Parenti lamenting the downfall of Communism. What I found most interesting about this is how much his rhetoric mirrors that of “Love It or Leave It” types in the West: “Communism: Love It or Leave It!” LOL. I actually agree with many […]
Good article from 2010 about over criminalization in the US. The Economist IN 2000 four Americans were charged with importing lobster tails in plastic bags rather than cardboard boxes, in violation of a Honduran regulation that Honduras no longer enforces. They had fallen foul of the Lacey Act, […]

I used to think the primary obstacle to the victory of pan-secessionist/fourth generation forces in the U.S. would be America’s massive military-industrial complex. However, the more conversations I have with actual military personnel and the more I observe trends in the military, the less I am convinced of […]
Even as the forces of totalitarian humanism continue to become more extreme and outlandish, cracks are emerged. Demographics have doomed the Red Tribe to death. Internal contradictions will bring the demise of the Blue Tribe. The Grey Tribe is up next. By Tim Dunkin Traditional Right If there […]
No surprise here. People are tribal by nature. Most people’s reaction is that “they” (terrorists) did something awful to “us” (Americans). so whatever we do to them is justified.

Totalitarian humanist student activism means brownshirting those with whom you disagree.

By Elizabeth Nolan Brown Reason “Free speech all the time. Not just when admin says when, where, what about,” read one side of the neon-yellow sign fielded by Ali Cohen, an education major at Coastal Carolina University, during a recent campus rally. On the sign’s flip side: “#BlackLivesMatter. […]
The great thing about the latest torture revelations is that it confirms one of the main things we anarchists are always saying. The state is no different from the mafia. It exists to control territory, protect an artificially privileged ruling class, exploit subjects, monopolize resources, and expand its […]
This is consistent with Scott Alexander’s analysis of the growth of a “Grey Tribe” as a third force in U.S. politics, beyond the “Red Tribe” and “Blue Tribe,” that regards the state rather than either traditional in-groups or traditional out-groups as the primary enemy.Apparently, the Grey Tribe is […]
After watching this, I’m almost convinced Abby Martin could be one of us.
1. Continue to attack all mainstream institutions across the board, until all of the system’s institutions have a single digit approval rating, just as Congress presently does. 2. Continue all dissident movements everywhere, and grow these to the point that they collectively become a majority, and then a […]
This is interesting. A 50 percent plus majority of Americans now favor legalizing marijuana. However, two thirds say it should be a states’ rights issue. How can this be? Because the demographic that is least likely to favor legalizing marijuana is the one that is most likely to […]
Stating the obvious. By W. James Antle III The American Conservative Justin Norman/Flickr Many conservatives weren’t happy with the release of the Senate CIA torture report. They described its release as reckless endangerment at worst, an attempt to distract from the House’s Jonathan Gruber hearings at best. But […]
The recent revelations are nothing new or out of the ordinary. By Darius Rejali Slate.Com “Clean torture” doesn’t leave marks In the 20th century, there were two main traditions of clean torture—the kind that doesn’t leave marks, as modern torturers prefer. The first is French modern, a combination […]

Accepting Ignorance he first thing to understand that the only true anarchism is a flavour of anarcho-capitalism. This is anarchy fully steelmanned, logicked forward until it could be logicked no more. (This is philosophical anarchism, not bomb-things anarchism. Philosophical anarchism is recognizing each dire ape as responsible to […]
A good critique of PC from a liberal perspective. The money quote: “While the original intent of political correctness may have been good (to encourage tact and sensitivity to others’ feelings around issues of gender, race, religion, sexual orientation, physical abilities, and such), the effect of political correctness […]
It’s interesting seeing these conservative luminaries taking positions on criminal justice that would have been considered moderate-liberal or even left-liberal twenty years ago. I certainly never thought I would see this. The winds of change are starting to blow. RightonCrime.Com As members of the nation’s conservative movement, we […]

This event that took place this past June is a prototype for what there needs to be more of. There needs to be mass protests all over the world against the U.S. and U.N.-led War on Drugs that ties all of the relevant issues together: police militarization, civil […]
CountercurrentsNews.Com The New Black Panther Party has a lot of key differences with the historical Black Panther Party For Self Defense, active in the United States from 1966 until 1982, in spite of their overlapping self-designations. But this is nothing new, even back during the tenure of the […]

I am very to see the outspoken public opposition that emerged in response to this proposal. And it’s not surprising this proposal emerged in the same state that gave us the Salem Witch Trials. The puritans have merely traded in their Calvinist clothing for a new secular, progressive […]
By Zach Weismueller Reason.Com “I’m a narc. I’ve been a narcotics guy forever,” says San Francisco police chief Greg Suhr. “But I’m just telling you, I’ve always felt bad for the people that were addicted to drugs.” Suhr is following in the footsteps of his predecessor, George Gascon, […]
This piece will probably piss off many anarchists and libertarians, but these arguments are worth hearing. The procedural rights of the accused and due process are as important an aspect of civil liberties as any other. One of the reasons we now have the massive prison-industrial complex is […]
Russia Today At least 15 people have been arrested after a peaceful support rally for jailed hunger strike anarchist turned into violent confrontation with police.

This would make for a good dissertation for some enterprising PhD student. By Vyan Daily Kos We stand today, two weeks after the shooting Death of Unarmed John Crawford, a week and a half after the Police Shooting Death of Unarmed Michael Brown, about a week after the […]
This gives a pretty good overview of the legalities involved in the Ferguson case from a fairly objective legal experts’ perspective. It’s also fairly consistent with my own amateur analysis of the case. In my view. Wilson was not indicted for these reasons: 1. Unreliable and contradictory witness […]
By Matt Fortney Assuming you even know who James Burnham is at all, he probably occupies a footnote at best in your mind. A notable political theorist and activist during the mid-20th century, he began his public life as a Marxist and Trotskyist but later transitioned to conservatism, […]
A Facebook reader posted a response to this critique of Libertarianism in Salon by Michael Lind. Says the reader: To me, libertarianism represents the time in old England-portrayed by Charles Dickens, where the poor completely had to fend for themselves when they could not find work. They could […]
Imagine a North American United Revolutionary Front consisting of anarchists from across the spectrum of anarchist opinion, plus sympathetic or allied groups from the left, right, and center: libertarians, communitarians, paleos, populists, progressives, decentralists, greens, socialists, and (non-statist) nationalists. Imagine such an alliance organizing around a few basic […]
When are we going to move all of our anarchists offline and out into the street? The seven anarchist Facebook groups listed below have over 100,000 members collectively. When are some innovative anarchist “leaders” going to come along and start building alliances among all the different anarchist factions? […]
By John Jacobi Anarchist Library While most of the anarchist movement consists of fairly young people, I have the privilege of living in a town with many older anarchists. By “older” I mean people in their 30s, but also people in their 40s and 50s (or at least […]

Obama’s recent granting of amnesty to illegal immigrants by means of executive order got me thinking about what possibilities there might be in the future in terms of reform from the top. For example, the late, great libertarian Harry Browne ran for president on the LP ticket twice, […]
