Nexus X HumectressRadley Balko is one of the very best critics of the American police state of anyone who is relatively mainstream. Here he discusses what he considers to be the baffling situation of liberal media support for the drug war and opposition to marijuana legalization. His answer is that […]
Interesting and, I think, accurate history of the modern Left from Paul Gottfried.
After 9/11, the fear of another attack on U.S. soil cleanly supplanted the fear of having one`s penis chopped off by a vengeful lover in the pantheon of irrational American fears. While we`re constantly being told that another attack is imminent and that radical Islamic fundamentalists are two […]
On six different occasions between 1984 and 1994, I cast a ballot in an American election, including five general elections and one primary. Of my five general election votes, four were for Democrats and one for a Libertarian. I’ve only voted for a Republican once, in the 1988 […]
The Phantom Left by Chris Hedges, representing the “good” Left The two comics evoked the phantom left, as the liberal class always does, in defense of moderation, which might better be described as apathy. If the right wing is crazy and if the left wing is crazy, the […]
Yes! says Gonzalo Lira. A police-state is not necessarily a dictatorship. On the contrary, it can even take the form of a representative democracy. A police-state is not defined by its leadership structure, but rather, by its self-protection against the individual. A definition of “fascism” is tougher to […]
Historian Bruce Levine says no, but Walter Williams thinks the evidence says otherwise. This is a question I used to discuss with a history professor of mine who was a Civil War expert. He got his Phd from Berkeley in the 1970s and Eric Foner was on his […]
He revoked his consent to be governed but they arrested him anyway. Imagine that.
by Jeff Prager For about a decade and a half, crime rates in the United States have generally fallen. That is the good news. The bad news is that even during those “good” years, the United States still had the most car thefts, the most rapes and the […]
by Kirkpatrick Sale There’s much talk these days, particularly by the Tea Party types, about getting back to the “real” Constitution, forcing the Obama government to honor the “original intent” of the Founding Fathers, and “understanding the Constitution through the eyes of its creators,” as one contributor to […]
Has anyone read this book? It looks rather interesting. Some of this stuff would seem to be a possible prototype for replacing the state’s social welfare system. Presumably, these models could be utilized by separatist or decentralist movements of any type.
Apparently the Democrats are getting a little nervous about the Second Vermont Republic.
Interesting talk at a meeting of the London New Right. Part 1, Part 2, Part 3
Yes, the Rent Really Is Too Damn High!! by Kevin Carson Obamacare Feeds Insurance Oligarchs by David D’Amato Why Building Codes and Licensing Boards Are Bad for You by Nicole Paluszek If the Supply Trucks Stop Rolling In, What Will You Be Eating? by Nicole Paluszek Time to […]
Tonight, I had a conversation with a woman who has worked in a clerical capacity for the court system in three different jurisdictions in my state. She told me that during her time as a court employee she observed that if drug cases were eliminated from the court […]
Interesting talk by Bowden. I’m not that big on Evola, I prefer Nietzsche, but either way this is a great discussion of religion, philosophy, and society. Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, Part 6, Part 7.
It’s somewhat surprising to find an article like this in a relatively mainstream publication like the Guardian. Yet it does not require that much thought to realise that people in different countries may have different views about what policies would be most appropriate for achieving economic growth or […]
Of all my positions on various things, one of the most controversial is my view that official outlaw organizations like motorcycle clubs and street gangs are potential constituents for the anarcho-pluralist struggle against the state. Indeed, aside from my militantly anti-totalitarian humanist outlook, this issue combined with my […]
James Kalb discusses his observances concerning “gender relations” during his time as a math instructor for the Peace Corps in Afghanistan. Read it here.
Kevin Carson tells why. This reminds me of a conversation I had a while back with a left-liberal, Dissent-magazine type who argued that liberals should be for the draft on the grounds that the draft would result in fewer wars because people wouldn’t support war if their kids […]
Chris George discusses one of liberalism’s greatest hypocrisies. One thing that libertarians, anarchists, radical anti-statists, left-wing civil libertarians, and anti-authoritarians who wish to repeal prohibition laws should always remember is that this automatically puts us in conflict with the proponents of therapeutic-feminist-liberalism. The primary enemies on these issues […]
America: The first post-industrial Third World country.
I recently discussed this issue in an interview with Richard Spencer. Listen here.
This appears to be a rather useful resource.
From Kevin Carson. Read the entire article. If you think the anti-government paranoids of right and left are “extremists,” it’s a safe bet you don’t know much of anything at all about the actual historical record of federal law enforcement, the content of legislation like the 1996 Counter-Terrorism […]
by Dr. Sean Gabb One of the many annoyances of living in a country like England—and I believe this also applies to America—is that lack of effective opposition within the mainstream media to outrageous acts of the authorities. I do not mean by this that when the police […]
My interview with Richard Spencer for AltRight Radio. Listen to the podcast.
From The Economic Collapse. Does anyone really want to hear that America is in decline? For decades, most of us have been raised to believe that the United States is “number one” and that anyone who doubts that fact is a “gloom and doomer” that should just pack […]
From Tyler Durden. (hat tip to James O’Meara) As if we needed more warnings that the US is rapidly losing its position as the world’s superpower and wealth aggregator, is the following chart from Credit Suisse, which ranks the top 10 countries in the world in terms of […]
This is a great bit of commentary from ATS contributor MRDA. This is a particularly good comment: “I wonder: does Morrissey’s little outburst offer a snapshot of what could happen if the Left acknowledge that their favoured folk aren’t always as innocent, victimized and enlightened as they portray […]
Lloyd Lacy is interviewed by Andrew Yeoman. Read the interview on BANA’s blog.
by David Heleniak I read through your piece on demographics. One group that’s not on the list and is important despite in terms of quality as opposed to quantity is non-PC intellectuals like evolutionary psychologists, who, because they have not focused on it, are not tuned into the […]
by Michael Parish I’ve blogged on here before about the psychological inadequacies plaguing the modern Left, but I’ve never systematically analyzed them and presented a full conclusion. So, to cop a line from Lenny Bruce, I, as a “surgeon with a scalpal for false values” will dedicate this […]
by Kevin Carson The U.S. government’s attempt to expand the surveillance state — in this case to make it easier to wiretap the Internet — is pretty much a dog-bites-man story. A fairly typical response is: “I’m not worried. After all, I’m not doing anything wrong.” Sure. Because […]
Good suggestions from Anna Morgenstern: Even within the context of welfare-state capitalism, if people were serious about reform, they could do it quite easily. But the most logical reforms are not on the table, because of ideological bullshit. The truth is, social-democrat types love the super rich and […]
Excellent post from Sheldon Richman. The U.S. media does need formal censorship in order to silence dissident opinion. Because it is part of the wider ruling class apparatus, the media practices self-censorship. See the evidence: Who Owns the Media? The Six Monolithic Corporations That Control Almost Everything We […]
A set of podcasts advocating a left/right populist alliance from a progressive perspective.
Gary Chartier’s submission to the Libertarian Alliance’s current essay contest.
An Immoral System Can Only Be Sustained by Immorality by Kevin Carson [Keith: As a Hobbesian, Nietzschean, and Stirnerite, I reject the paradigm that posits a morality/immorality dichotomy, but that’s just nit-picking. This is good stuff.] Should We Care About Inequality? by Jason Sorens, founder of the Free […]

Article by Anna Baltzer The gravest threat of all faced by Colombia’s indigenous population is cultural destruction and extinction. Of Colombia’s 102 indigenous tribes, 32 percent are in danger of disappearance. Eighteen tribes have fewer than two hundred persons remaining. One of the most important forms of resistance […]
Read the report from the BBC. (hat tip to Brady Campbell) I’m not a fan of Wilders. His politics are basically the same as those of the neocons, e.g. Zionism, Islamophobia, and neoliberal economics. Nor do I agree with ideas like banning the Koran, minarets, headscarves, or burquas […]
State court throws out religion as defense in case involving husband’s non-consensual sex with wife. (hat tip to David Heleniak)
The full text of this work is available online. As for as I know, Santillan’s book is the most comprehensive explanation of how an anarcho-syndicalist economy is supposed to work. Here’s Santillan’s biographical entry from Wikipedia.
Interesting discussion of Marxism by Gary North from a Mises Institute seminar from 1988. I don’t agree with North’s religious determinism any more than I agree with Marx’s and John Stuart Mill’s economic determinism, but North’s critique of Marxism (and Marxists) is rather penetrating. This comparison of Marxist […]
Amy Goodman’s discussion of the recent attacks by the feds on antiwar activists.
New piece from Kevin Carson. See also: Market Anarchism vs Market Statism by Anna Morgenstern Here’s an interesting critique of left-libertarianism from, well, a left-libertarian (more or less): Why I Am Not a Left-Libertarian by Bryan Caplan
The final installment of my series on Schmitt.
The Death of the Office Joke SOME OF THE EQUALITY ACT PROVISIONS… Vegans, teetotallers and atheists given the same protection against discrimination as religious groups Churches forced to hire homosexuals and transsexuals against the tenets of their faith when employing staff under planned Labour equality laws Gipsies and […]
Great stuff from my old editor at Anti-State.Com Jeremy Sapienza. It’s too bad Jeremy’s gleefully malicious but hilarious “Grim Milestone in Iraq-159,000 Troops Remain Alive” and “Why I Hate the Troops” articles aren’t available anymore.
Nemesis: The Last Days of the American Republic by Chalmers Johnson
