By Kevin Carson I’m not a Marxist, but I find a lot of Marx’s ideas useful. Old Karl certainly had a gift for turning a phrase. Nobody who could come up with something as Proudhonian as “the associated producers” could be all bad. One of his best in […]

Tim Minchin’s wet dreams may yet *ahem* come to fruition. Not content with importing their daytime soaps, the UK looks set to contract AIDS (Acquired Imperative Democracy Syndrome) from the Aussies. Will Airstrip One become another Saudi Arabia of Democracy? It certainly seems to be on that road… […]
The boys (and girls) who cried Wolfsangel…. From Taki Mag… _______________ by Gavin McInnes It was a tough week for racial witch hunters. In fact, it’s been a tough quarter-century for them. Reality keeps knocking the liberal media off its high horse. When they picked up the Trayvon […]
By Justin Raimondo A recent Rasmussen poll has 51 percent of Americans favoring the pullout of all US troops from Europe – and yet not a single major American politician would even consider endorsing such a move. Why is that? I thought politicians were supposed to be consummate opportunists, whose […]
By Anthony Gregory If President Obama has his way, the last U.S. troops deployed in Afghanistan could be Americans born five years after 9/11. The administration has signed a pact to maintain a military presence there until 2024. After initially claiming the rumors of such a deal were false, the administration […]
By Paul Gottfried Jonah Goldberg in his new collection of meditations, The Tyranny of Clichés: How Liberals Cheat in the War of Ideas and Andrew Ferguson in his latest Weekly Standard opinion piece “The New Phrenology” complain how the other side gets nasty when depicting its well-meaning opponents. This bothers our “conservative” […]

This amuses me on many a level. From the Huffington Post… _____________ Over five centuries after the famed explorer’s death, historians are taking a fresh look at what motivated Christopher Columbus to make his voyage across the Atlantic — and how his faith may have played into those […]
By Alexander Cockburn The news is in. White births are no longer a majority in the United States. The Bureau of the Census confirms that non-Hispanic whites accounted for 49.6 of all births in the year ending July, 2011, while minorities including Hispanics, blacks, Asians and those of […]
By Jake Olzen The old trope of the bomb-throwing anarchist is back in the news, with a round-up in Ohio on May 1 and the three would-be NATO protesters arrested on Wednesday who are now charged with conspiracy to commit terrorism. While the impression that appears in the media is […]
By Paul Atwood The Great Recession is the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression and, like the aftermath of Katrina, or the BP calamity, or the invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan, is a man-made disaster. Many signs point to worse tidings. Many of us who live in this […]
By Paul Craig Roberts The US financial system and, probably, the financial system of Europe, like the police, no longer serves a useful social purpose. In the US the police have proven themselves to be a greater threat to public safety than private sector criminals. I just googled […]
By Kevin Carson Many Occupy supporters on the Left express concern that it could be coopted by the mainstream institutional Left and harnessed to a political agenda of NPR liberalism. The recent prominence of Van Johnson’s Rebuild the Dream and MoveOn.org seems to provide at least superficial justification […]
By David D’Amato “President Barack Obama,” Fox News reports, “says the big trading loss at JPMorgan Chase shows the need for Congress to put more teeth into Wall Street reforms.” Touting the new rules, the President stated that the goal is to “discourage big banks and financial institutions from […]
By Kevin Carson Rob Reiner, in a recent interview with Chris Matthews, showed that while he may have moved on to directing and producing, he’s still a comedic actor at heart. Reiner, best known as Archie’s son-in-law “Meathead” on “All in the Family,” told Matthews — with a […]

From the Chicago Tribune The NATO protesters marching in the South Loop on Sunday were mostly peaceful when they were in Grant Park. They’re opposed to violence, opposed to the war in Afghanistan. The only argument I became involved in was with the slightly militant vegans, like the […]
From The Atlantic Over 20,000 years ago, humans won the evolutionary battle against Neanderthals. They may have had some assistance in that from their best friends.

From BBC News. Don’t “think of the children” too much, lest you lose valuable freedoms (and IQ points) in the process! ____________ Pornography filters on mobile phones are “censoring” normal web content, according to the Open Rights Group.

By Justin Raimondo This is the question puzzling Paul’s friends, as well as his enemies. A recentannouncement by the campaign that the anti-interventionist Congressman andpresidential candidate is not spending money in the remaining primary states provoked a Drudge headline: “Paul Out.” That is the GOP Establishment’s fondest wish, but the reality is that Paul is far […]
Note: The Ron Paul movement provides a glimpse into what the demographics of the future resistance movement will look like and is consistent with the framework I have previously outlined in my “liberty and populism” and “ten core demographics” theories. By Allan Stevo In a party that tends […]
Note: Any serious anarchist and libertarian strategy needs to recognize that the culture wars are primarily a conflict with the upper middle class with the Left being the overall winner, and with the rest of U.S. society divided on predictable socio-economic (i.e. class) lines. By Pat Buchanan It […]
Note: If anarchists and libertarians are serious about attacking and destroying the U.S. state, then we need to begin targeting the center-left establishment given that it will be the ruling party in the decades ahead as the Republicans begin to go the way of the Whigs. By Pat […]
By Jason Brennan In Libertarianism: What Everyone Needs to Know, I examine the question of which country is the most libertarian.

From leftoid, to FBI informant, to teabagger. —– blog.chron.com Brandon Darby is probably not a name you are familiar with. After you read this you will wonder why you aren’t familiar with him. His story, to say the least, is fascinating. I met Brandon when he spoke at […]

Thaddeus Russell makes his case. Not that I think homosexuals should have to fit anyone’s Ideal Procrustean Queer mould, but do they not signal their social conservatism to the degree that they embrace this ritual? __________________________ Back in the days when there was an identifiable counter-cultural movement in […]
So says Glenn Greenwald. Nice job, Miss Forrest! __________________________ A federal district judge today, the newly-appointed Katherine Forrest of the Southern District of New York, issued an amazing ruling: one which preliminarily enjoins enforcement of the highly controversial indefinite provisions of the National Defense Authorization Act, enacted by […]
Obama’s proclamation of support for same sex marriage solidified his support among Democrats, young people and college graduates. In general, Republicans, older people and less educated people responded unfavorably to the President. In comparison, the opinion of blacks remains relatively unchanged.

Article by Kevin Carson. I rather like Sean Gabb’s offshoot from it… American pigs, so far as I can tell, have always been more piggish than the English pigs. But our own have become much more brutal and trigger-happy over the past few decades. For example, Mark Duggan […]

I have some major areas of disagreement with Johnson but this is an interesting discussion. Listen to the podcast or read the text.
From Jennifer S. @ Harvest Liberty. A rather even-handed critique of the ideas and goals endorsed on this-here site. A question for her: what if the whole notion of a “culture war”, rather than secession, is the “diversionary tactic”?
Watch the video. Some of this analysis is a bit elementary in quality, but the core question asked is the correct one: How can the multitude of anti-state factions collectively become an effective movement?

By Gabriel Kolko Both Europe and the United States confront great crises; while they are different in certain regards they have important similarities too. America’s crisis is both military and economic; they are interrelated because America has a huge deficit, in large part because it has the chimerical ambition to be the world’s dominating military power, which costs […]
