Nexus X HumectressBy 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. Authorities used tear gas and stun grenades to quell rioters carrying Molotov cocktails. As an estimated between 8,000 and 10,000 protesters marched through […]

By Jared Keller Mic.Com ter weeks of deliberation and speculation, a grand jury in Missouri has declined to indict Officer Darren Wilson for killing unarmed black teenager Michael Brown in August. As protesters fill the streets of Ferguson and continue to question the relationship between law enforcement and African-Americans, one thing is […]

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, […]

I’m sure our right-wing readers will be properly offended by this piece. By Joel Olsen LibCom.Org Joel Olson argues against two major tendencies in American anarchism, counter-institution building and militant street protests, and suggests building a movement against the racial order should be a priority. This is a […]
Dissent is on the rise. By Donna Leinwand Leger USA Today Radical anti-government “patriot” groups and militias, galvanized against gun control, will continue to grow even as the number of groups operating in the USAreached an all-time high in 2012, a report Tuesday by the Southern Poverty Law […]

The System has entered two major wars and lost. The System has bankrupted the economy. The gap between social classes is the highest it’s been in a century. State repression has grown to the point that it’s spilled over into the mainstream. The approval rating of all major […]
It would certainly appear that way. By H.A. Goodman Huffington Post Osama bin Laden is the reason we’re fighting ISIS today and the reason we’ve wage two wars in the Middle East. His vision for chaos in the region was clearly stated even before he murdered 3,000 Americans […]
The anti-state Grey Tribe is the emerging third force in U.S. politics. Pan-Secessionism/anarcho-populism is our strategy. Pan-anarchism is the militant vanguard.
I have long suspected that “left-wing” totalitarian humanism would eventually bend into “right-wing” neoconservatism. After all, the neoconservatives were originally liberals or leftists (often very far leftists) who moved rightward and became “pro-American.” They did so on, first, social democratic and Trotskyist anti-Soviet grounds, and then, after the […]

Grey Tribe becomes a de facto political majority + Support for secession becomes a de facto majority=We Win!! This is the most up to date data on secessionist sympathy I can find, and it looks like secessionist sympathy is up by a few percentage point. My guess is […]
Read this classic lecture from 2000 by Professor Van Creveld, and then read my “Philosophical Anarchism and the Death of Empire” from 2003. Van Creveld’s lecture describes the emerging world order, and my essay outlines a new paradigm for the “worldwide Grey Tribe” as it might be called. […]
Right now, the most important thing that anarchists, libertarians, anti-state radicals, decentralists, anti-authoritarians, paleos, communitarians, and allied others can be doing is growing the Grey Tribe as a third force in U.S. politics beyond the Red Tribe/Blue Tribe dichotomy. Read the blog post below and then read Scott […]
This is an absolute must read. “That this Twitterstorm happened in Anglo-Saxon countries is not a coincidence, and can be traced directly back to the Protestant – and often Puritan – foundations of these societies. A tight-knit 17th century New England Puritan commune, with its “worldly saints” – […]
The return of “The Plumbers.” As others have pointed out recently, the Obama Democrats are Nixon Republicans under another name (plus some cultural leftism thrown in to pacify potential critics from the Left). The former Trotskyite turned Cold War liberal turned Israel Firster neoconservatives took over the intellectual […]
For those who are unfamiliar with this classic work by Roderick Long, it’s definitely a must read. Part I Part 2
The ironic thing for me about the Hoppe vs Carson debate is that while I am a big fan of the work of both men, I doubt I would ever get invited to a gathering of either the Property and Freedom Society or the Center for a Stateless […]
Anarchists and libertarians should be the foremost critics of this kind of thing. Unfortunately, many of them are among its primary perpetrators. Says one of these moronic students: “‘The idea that in a free society absolutely everything should be open to debate has a detrimental effect on marginalised […]
By Kelley Vlahos The American Conservative Frontpage / Shutterstock.com Analysts were right to say that the Republican takeover of Congress bodes well for the war machine: already we see the levers of power slowly shifting in reverse, eager to get back to salad days of post-9/11 wartime spending.

The money quote comes at the end of this article. This is also my prediction: “In the next 30 or 40 years I have left to live, I expect to see liberal forms of religion die out, and conservative forms become more conservative — this, while the great […]
This article represents the standard left-wing response to common white nationalist and other right-wing arguments concerning demographic change in the United States. I am not a white nationalist or racialist of any kind, nor do I embrace the racial determinism that is implicit in much present day “far […]
On that at least, we can agree. This is a really interesting talk. This fellow’s worldview and ideology are very much in the vein of classical, eighteenth century, “throne and altar” conservatism. If you were a “conservative” in the late 1700s and early 1800s, this is how you […]
These comments are based on a recent debate I was having in a social media forum concerning the future of anarchist movements. What follows is a collection of comments I made within the context of a wider discussion. I apologize for the disjointed nature of this post in […]
White nationalists, what say you? By Robert Lindsay Negrofication Magnification Ratios said: Very few white supremacists actually exist. The reality is that most so called white supremacists are in fact white separatists. They are wrongly labeled. The vast majority are simply interested in living in a white state. […]
By Chuck Spinney The Blaster Introduction to the Changing Face of War Uri Avnery’s thoughtful essay Scotland on the Euphrates questions the future viability of the nation-state as a form of social organization.

I am not big on voting, and I haven’t voted in 20 years. Before that, I occasionally voted for Democrats, largely on antiwar grounds. I have cast a ballot for a Republican only once, and never in a general election. I did vote against the Rev. Pat Robertson […]
Interesting. 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, […]
