Who cares? Let every tribe have its own narrative.
How do free markets go together with leftism, and what is left-libertarianism? Are the markets in fact the best methods for addressing conventional leftist values, like concerns for discrimination, exclusion and hierarchy? Why might a libertarian reject capitalism? These are the questions we are going to discuss at […]
By Tess Riley, The Guardian Just 100 companies have been the source of more than 70% of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions since 1988, according to a new report. The Carbon Majors Report (pdf) “pinpoints how a relatively small set of fossil fuel producers may hold the key […]

By Robert Hunziker, Counterpunch The news does not get much worse than a recent scientific report that the planet is trapping twice as much heat as it did only 14 years ago. If this one report does not turn heads and create a sense of panic to get […]
By Lucien Van Der Walt ABSTRACT The historiography of the socialist movement in South Africa remains dominated by the interpretations developed by Communist Partywriters, and this is particularly true of the left before Communism. This article defines the key arguments of Communist writers regarding the left in the […]
Can the Libertarian Party (L.P.) become “a major contender that consistently wins elections?” If the organization’s dismal, 50-year track record in winning elections isn’t discouraging enough, now the L.P. is in disarray after its chairman and two members of its national committee resigned in the wake of an […]
It’s really interesting how history repeats itself it’s almost eerie how similar the 2020s is playing out compared to the 1920s. Rising support for socialism, increasing disparity in wealth, labor movements, and strikes gaining traction. Let’s just hope the 2030s turns out better than the 1930s.
When the police are militarized, they are already a standing army, deployed on American streets. Unconstitutional for over 100 years.

I disagree with this author’s claim that Marxism is what is driving the alleged “far-left” in the US, just as I disagree that the alleged “far-right” is driven by fascism. Actual Marxists are rare in US political culture (as are actual fascists). While there are Maoist-like tendencies on […]
A pretty good discussion of why totalitarian humanism and its derivatives are dangerous. Right now, US political culture faces three primary authoritarian dangers. The most immediate is the consolidation of a totalitarian humanist regime by the Center, and the use of inherited anti-crime and anti-terrorism laws to repress […]
By John Gertz Scientific American SETI, as a modern astronomical endeavor, dating to 1959 (first paper) and 1960 (first observation). Modern UFO sightings date to the late 1940s. Though superficially similar, the two fields in practice have had virtually nothing to do with one another. SETI usually requires […]
By Lucien van der Walt This paper examines the development of anarchism and syndicalism in early twentieth-century Cape Town, South Africa, drawing attention to a crucial but neglected chapter of labor and left history. Central to this story were the anarchists in the local Social Democratic Federation (SDF), […]
An interesting point the speaker makes is that surges in right-wing terrorism tend to accompany international warfare. Whenever the US is waging a major war internationally, a surge in right-wing violence tends to follow. However, I would argue that the main authoritarian danger from the right-wing is not […]
By Jonathan Karl, The Atlantic In the final months of the administration, the doggedly loyal attorney general finally had enough. Donald Trump is a man consumed with grievance against people he believes have betrayed him, but few betrayals have enraged him more than what his attorney general did […]
This latest bit of dumbassery from Dave Rubin provides a great context for me to explain why I am not a Republican. Some of Dave’s interviews have been interesting. I used to like his show. But over time he’s just become a Republican brown noser. He reminds me […]
By Martin Pengelly, The Guardian Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has dismissed comments in which the Georgia Republican extremist Marjorie Taylor Greene called her a “little communist” and said she should be locked up, tweeting: “First of all, I’m taller than her.” Greene is a far-right congresswoman and controversialist who was […]
By Paula Bolyard, PJ Media Former CIA Director John Brennan let the cat out of the bag during an MSNBC appearance Wednesday, saying that the Biden administration is laser-focused on rooting out “insurgency movements” in the U.S., cracking down on pernicious malefactors like (gasp!) libertarians.

The US has a two-tiered and multi-dimensional class system that largely pits unionized public sector workers against private-sector workers, and highly skilled blue/white-collar workers against the low-skilled, unskilled, or unemployed. It’s one of the main reasons why the “free market vs welfare statist” and “unions vs right to […]
