My latest @ Taki. ______________ Last Friday proved a more eventful one than usual in New Zealand: on top of the usual weekend hustle, the Kiwi nation hosted the wedding of one Travis McIntosh to his partner, Matt McCormick. As it took place at the hallowed rugby […]
By Daniel Hawkins The Art of Not Being Governed Something earth-shattering is about to happen. Tomorrow, the British-ruled country known as Scotland will vote for their independence. The news has been focusing almost entirely on what this will mean for the UK and Europe. Most people have been […]
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. Suddenly, 50,000 individuals became a single unit, almost a single mind, focused intently on what was happening on the field—that particular touchdown grab or dive into the end zone. Somehow, virtually simultaneously, each […]

I do a weekly show titled Crypto Convos where I interview various members of the bitcoin counter-economy and every now and then I’ll do a weekend edition. Mike Kimberl is a good friend and homeless rights activist who works alongside Food Not Bombs and the bitcoin-fueled homeless outreach […]
A proposed ballot measure in Oregon promises 35% of resulting tax revenue to go to state and local police. It appears that as legalization rolls out across the country, the US Police State will get their taste of the action!

This is, along with foreign policy and international geopolitics, is the issue that anarchists, libertarians, and anti-statists of all types should be focused on, rather than arcane economic theories or sectarian tribal/cultural rivalries.

I’m sure we’ll get honorable mention at this conference. Nobody is taking the game away from the Left. Instead, the Left is giving the game away. The Left is now the center, and unfortunately some anarchists have failed to adapt to the 21st century. The would prefer to […]
This is an example of why I have suggested in past that anarchists, libertarians, and allied others attempt to gain political preeminence at the local and municipal level, even within the context of the overarching state system. This was a strategy pursued by the Spanish anarchists, and later […]

This is interesting. Look for the GOP to attempt to co-opt this in the future by adopting something akin to a “Brown strategy” in the style of the “Southern strategy” they adopted during the Nixon era, and that sustained them until 2008. The GOP is already trying to […]

In case anyone is wondering what I mean when I talk about “totalitarian humanism,” here it is:
My Takimag debut. The responses pretty much reinforce what I said in the piece about the demos. I noticed a fair few mentions of the phrase “death penalty” from UK news outlets last fortnight; little surprise, given that the antepenultimate Wednesday marked the half-century since this Sceptered Isle’s […]
It looks like some more “right-opportunism” is on the way. The upside is that this opens the door for those with more radical views to come in. The Daily Beast Democrats have long loathed the conservative billionaires, but they’re united on one topic, at least: militarized police. How […]
These two guys, who headed the Libertarian Party ticket in 2012, are perfect illustrations of what I call “system libertarians.” By “system libertarians,” I don’t mean “right-opportunists” who are simply trying to hijack libertarianism towards other ends like Rand Paul, Bob Barr, the Kochs, etc. By all accounts, […]
By Aleksey Bashtavenko Random Meanderings The Republicans and the Democrats disagree about the role that the government should play in providing social services.

I agree with the analysis in this piece by Robert Lindsay if we stick to defining the Left as “advocating state intervention in the economy on behalf of objectives sought by reform liberals, progressives, and socialists.” Over the past thirty years, US economic policy has mostly been about […]
A principal difficulty with the Randian “let them eat cake” model of libertarianism is that extreme inequality of wealth, whatever one thinks of it from the perspective of “social justice,” normally produces abhorrent political outcomes.
