Nexus X HumectressI wrote this in 2001, during the time between the September 11 incidents, and the beginning of the war in Afghanistan. Evaluate for yourself how well my geopolitical analysis holds up thirteen years later, and whether I’ve mellowed any since then. By Keith Preston Islam, Globalism and […]
By Anthony Gregory Libertarian Standard A controversy has arisen in the libertarian movement over the proper approach to the events concerning Russia, Ukraine, and Crimea. Like many such controversies, it has quickly polarized almost everyone, and has served as a proxy for long-standing factionalism within the movement. People […]
By Justin Raimondo Antiwar.Com The libertarian movement has always been a contentious arena: that’s the nature of the beast. After all, we’re talking about libertarians – individualists to a fault: getting them to agree on anything is often like trying to herd cats. Aside from this question of […]
By James S. Robbins The National Interest Vice President Biden was in Warsaw last week to reassure our eastern NATO allies that they have the support of a “steadfast ally.” But if Russia moved against Poland or the Baltic States, would the United States really go to war? […]
Katy Murphy San Jose Mercury News A bill that would have let California voters reconsider the state’s 16-year-old ban on race-conscious college admissions is off the table, its author announced on Monday. Constitutional Amendment 5 passed the state Senate in late January on a party-line vote but ran […]
By Pat Buchanan A week ago, in the St. George’s Hall in the Kremlin, Russia’s elite cheered and wept as Vladimir Putin announced the re-annexation of Crimea. Seven in 10 Russians approve of Putin’s rule. In Crimea, the Russian majority has not ceased celebrating. The re-conquest nears completion. […]

By Hannah Roberts Daily Mail Venetians have voted overwhelmingly for their own sovereign state in a ‘referendum’ on independence from Italy. Inspired by Scotland’s separatist ambitions, 89 per cent of the residents of the lagoon city and its surrounding area, opted to break away from Italy in an […]
By Christopher Cantwell Some time ago, I joked that the leftists could have the “liberty movement” and I would start my own. At the time, I called it the “Do whatever the fuck you want so long as you don’t hurt anyone movement” or something to that effect. […]
Ooooh…someone’s itching for a fight. By Christopher Cantwell As I’ve spent the last few months railing against so called left libertarians, it comes up from time to time that they claim to support only voluntary solutions to their imaginary problems of privilege. That this, by my own definition […]
By D. Christian Moore Examiner.Com Republican leaning counties in deep blue states are pushing to secede and form states of their own. Residents of Northern Michigan, parts of California, Maryland and Colorado are seeking to break away from their Democrat controlled states and form new self-governing entities. These […]
TeaParty.Org (CBS) – A tale of two Marylands: Western Maryland and the rest of the state. Fed up with high taxes and gun control, some people want to break away and go it alone. Mary Bubala explains why they’re trying to form their own state. There’s a storm brewing […]
By David Brody CBN News GREELEY, Colo. — If you mention the word “secession” most people think of the South during the Civil War. But today, a new movement is gaining steam because of frustration over a growing, out-of-control federal government. A number of conservative, rural Americans are […]
By Kevin Roose New York Magazine A rendering of San Francisco’s SoMa district, circa 2080. Last week, I wrote about one Silicon Valley investor’s excited response to the government shutdown, a response sparked by his belief that “stasis in the government is actually good for all of us.” […]
By Valerie Richardson Washington Times When Frank Sinatra sang “New York, New York,” he may have been on to something. A movement is afoot to split New York into two regions — upstate and downstate — to acknowledge the gaping philosophical differences and improve representation. “I’ve lived in […]
Interesting historical analysis. CultureWarClassWar
Some thoughts on mainstream politics in the contemporary USA: In virtually any other Western industrialized nation, Obama and Hillary Clinton would be considered center-right politicians, certainly on economics. I think that’s attributable to America’s unique heritage as having been founded as a more or less classically liberal nation, […]
By Lucy Steigerwald As the weekly – sometimes daily – news stories never tire of telling us, domestic drones are coming. And as ABC News reported on March 17, they are arriving faster than the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) can suss out the rules over their use. Though […]
By John Whitehead Huffington Post Living in a representative republic means that each person has the right to take a stand for what they think is right, whether that means marching outside the halls of government, wearing clothing with provocative statements, or simply holding up a sign. That’s […]
By John Whitehead Huffington Post The following incidents are cautionary tales for anyone who still thinks that they can defy police officers, even if it’s simply to disagree about a speeding ticket, challenge a search warrant or defend oneself against an unreasonable or unjust charge, without deadly repercussions.

By Jonah Goldberg Real Clear Politics Cancel the philosophy courses, people. Oh, and we’re going to be shuttering the political science, religion, and pre-law departments too. We’ll keep some of the English and history folks on for a while longer, but they should probably keep their résumés handy. […]
By Kathy Shaidle Taki’s Magazine “[L]ibertarians can generally be divided into two camps: humanitarians and brutalists.” That’s Jeffrey A. Tucker’s provocative proposition in a widely discussed new article in The Freeman. Humanitarian libertarians value the principle of liberty, Tucker writes, because—among other things—it permits freedom of association and […]
Once again, Pat Buchanan reveals himself to be the most sensible of any mainstream foreign policy commentator. By Pat Buchanan Sweeping through Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania this week, Joe Biden reassured all three that the United States’ commitment to Article Five of the NATO treaty remains “solemn” and […]

Left, Right, or Center”: http://attackthesystem.com/2014/02/21/who-am-i-left-right-or-center/ How his anti imperialist views on foreign policy overlap with the far Left as well as Paleoconservative and New Right thinkers How […]
By Justin Raimondo The Crimean plebiscite resulting in a vote of over 95 percent in favor of union with the Russian Federation has been roundly denounced by Western governments as “illegitimate” and in violation of “international law.” Putative presidential candidate Hillary Clinton went so far as to compare […]
A timely piece. Cass Sunstein, in my view, is one of the leading intellectual theoreticians of totalitarian humanism, and his wife, Samantha Power, represents totalitarian humanism being applied to foreign policy. By Lamont Rodgers Libertarian Alliance Cass Sunstein and Richard Thaler endorse a version of paternalism that is […]
By Jeffrey Tucker The Libertarian Standard “Best article I’ve read in decades.” That’s the message I received from so many people when my article “Against Libertarian Brutalism” first appeared. A day later, I started to receive a different message. “This article is evil and you are evil for […]
What I’ve been saying all along. By David P. Goldman The American Interest Today’s American liberalism, it is often remarked, amounts to a secular religion: it has its own sacred texts and taboos, Crusades and Inquisitions. The political correctness that undergirds it, meanwhile, can be traced back to […]
Recently, Jeffrey Tucker, formerly of the Mises Institute, published a piece in The Freeman, a publication of the Foundation for Economic Education, that has generated some controversy in libertarian circles. Here’s the original piece. Tucker is basically arguing there are two kinds of libertarians: the nice, friendly, touchy-feely, […]
The American Conservative is ironically now the most left-wing print publication out there with a relatively mainstream orientation. My own studies of the “culture wars” leads me to the conclusion that it mostly represents a class conflict between the traditional WASP elite and the rising upper middle class […]
Now this looks to be an interesting read. Amazon.Com Ralph Nader has fought for over fifty years on behalf of American citizens against the reckless influence of corporations on our society. At this pivotal political moment, Americans are more disillusioned with their political leaders than ever. Large majorities […]
This piece argue against Bill Bishop’s “Big Sort” thesis. By Samuel J. Adams and Morris P. Fiorina Hoover Insitution In 2008, journalist Bill Bishop achieved the kind of notice that authors dream about. His book, The Big Sort: Why the Clustering of Like-Minded America Is Tearing Us Apart, […]
This article by Jeffrey Tucker has created something of a stir in libertarian circles. By Jeffrey Tucker Foundation for Economic Education Why should we favor human liberty over a social order ruled by power? In providing the answer, I would suggest that libertarians can generally be divided into […]
This old Commie article attacking the anarchist wing of the New Left in 1970 reads almost like something the Antifa would write about ATS today. Armand Barotti Literature and Ideology The petty bourgeoisie is not a counter-revolutionary class per se, even though some sections of it do work […]
As I wrote back in 2003: The issues that motivate those on the margins-radical environmentalism, gun rights absolutism, racial nationalism, socialism, radical feminism, queer power, religious fundamentalism-mean nothing to most people. The ordinary citizen is concerned only with his own day to day business. His issues are unemployment, […]

“Attack the System—which promotes an alliance of racial separatists, theocrats, and Leftists against what it sees as an increasingly globalized, centralized, liberal “system”—also courted Occupy. The organization produced a video—“Power to the Neighborhoods (A Message to ‘Occupy Wall Street’)”—that called for Left-Right unity, offering a left-wing critique of […]
This is a reasonable start, but a bigger question is can a Left-Right coalition bring about the overthrow of the state, the ruling class, and the empire? That’s what ARV-ATS is all about. By Carla Murphy Bill Moyers.Com There’s not much that Tea Party Republicans and liberal Democrats […]
A good discussion of the growth of the police state and prison-industrial complex in the USA between Michelle Alexander and Bill Moyers. Watch the video. After civil rights lawyer Michelle Alexander published her book The New Jim Crow in 2010 on our dehumanizing system of incarceration, she ignited […]
In this interview and in a recent article in Harper’s magazine, leftist-socialist commentator Adolph Reed Jr. says about the center-left in the USA what I’ve been saying for years: That’s they’ve become increasingly fixated on pushing cultural politics and getting more folks from traditional outgroups into the ranks […]
The consequences of mistaking the divisible for the indivisible or Moscow next Tuesday It’s hard to ignore the blatant contradictions and rank hypocrisy of the “Free World ™” exposed by the Ukrainian Crisis. Indeed if the goal of Vladimir Putin and the Russian Federation was to demonstrate the […]

By Rahul Kanwar The Conscious Resistance This essay will focus on the two largest philosophical movements, American libertarianism (or the libertarian right) and European libertarianism (or the libertarian left). This essay will not address any movement to centralize power further, such as Maoism or minarchist capitalism. The importance of solidarity between these […]
By Justin Raimondo When the Berlin Wall fell, and the Soviet Union imploded shortly afterward, the world breathed a sigh of relief—except in the faculty lounges of our more exclusive universities, the last bastion of Marxism in the developed world. But these hothouse exotics weren’t the […]
By David McElroy by David McElroy We do a very poor job of disagreeing in this country. You’d think we would be experts at it, because we do so much of it. But we’ve developed a culture in which most people are far more eager to tell everyone […]
By Pat Buchanan LewRockwell.Com With Vladimir Putin’s dispatch of Russian troops into Crimea, our war hawks are breathing fire. Russophobia is rampant and the op-ed pages are ablaze here. Barack Obama should tune them out, and reflect on how Cold War presidents dealt with far graver clashes with […]
By Ivan Eland Independent Institute President Obama’s defense plan has positive aspects, but is not part of a coherent strategic vision for the nation. With this failing, Obama, as commander-in-chief, is not unique. Ever since the end of the Cold War in 1991, the United States has lacked […]
