Nexus X HumectressWhy must the West blame all Russia’s ills on President Putin?

A Libertarian Litmus Test
The drug war. We often here about how this or that Republican politician is a “libertarian” or “libertarian-leaning” or a “friend of liberty.” In the vast majority of the cases (if not all of them) said Republican politician supports the war on drugs. Oh, some of them may […]

Can aristocracy and its feudal roots offer a prospect and model for secessionist solutions to the present crisis in Britain?
By John Kersey Libertarian Alliance A functioning aristocracy is fundamental to a traditionally-based society, and its structures and concepts have greatly influenced the development of the British nation over the centuries. In this paper, I intend, while showing some of the difficulties that have come to occupy the […]
Why the Term ‘Psychopath’ is Racist and Ableist

Victory Over AIPAC, What It Means, What It Doesn’t
By Scott McConnell The American Conservative dbking / cc Eli Lake here does a micro-analysis of AIPAC’s failure on its Iran sanctions bill.

Confessions of an Unreconstructed ‘Isolationist’
Says Raimondo: “The age of Obama presented us with new opportunities – and new and bigger problems. What had been the antiwar movement evaporated with such swiftness that it was almost possible to believe the huge demonstrations had all been but a dream. Yet the war danger was […]
Obama’s Liberal Imperialism
Anarchists and Libertarians in the Western countries need to understand that we are essentially in the same position as Russian anarchists in the 1920s, i.e. anarchists living under revolutionary leftist authoritarian regimes, rather than right-wing conservative or reactionary regimes. Those Anarchists and Libertarians who persist in denouncing the […]
The New Cold War: 21st Century Jacobin-Bolshevik America vs Russian Traditionalism
Actually, this interpretation of the relationship between the U.S.A. and Russia has a precedent in the work of Carl Schmitt. In “Nomos of the Earth,” Schmitt, a Hobbesian conservative, analyzed the Cold War as a conflict between two ideologically-driven forces, American liberal-democratic-capitalism and Soviet Marxism. Schmitt actually considered […]

5 Reasons Why Anarchist Subculture is Growing
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.

Contra Lewis: The Drooling Moron on Creationism and Race Realism
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.

Can’t we all just get along?…Revisited
“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 […]

Sean Gabb on the Totalitarian Humanist Revolution in England
It would be interesting to see how our “left-libertarian” rivals respond to this.

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 […]

“Can’t we all just get along?” Apparently not…
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 […]

On Libertarian Factionalism, Our Critics, Conservative Associations and State Power
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 […]
All You Need Is Toleration The victimhood-industrial complex is confusing some libertarians
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?

Speak to the herd in their own language or don’t bother trying
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 […]
