Nexus X HumectressBy AKSEL BORA ÇORLU This dissertation explores the connections of anarchism and violence, especially in the form of propaganda by the deed. The existing scholarship on this subject either focuses on national/ethnic units, or subsumes it under the dubious heading of “terrorism.” I aim to present an inclusive, […]
A new book from Michael Malice. Anarchism has been both a vision of a peaceful, cooperative society—and an ideology of revolutionary terror. Since the term itself—anarchism—is a negation, there is a great deal of disagreement on what the positive alternative would look like. The black flag comes in […]

By Peter R Quinones Can we finally stop with the accusations that anyone who questions the motives of those ACTIVELY propagandizing the public to take one of the CV19 “vaccines” is being paranoid? Especially when you take into consideration that in 1986 the government gave vaccine manufacturers total […]
By Matt Taibbi Fact-checkers are great, but the media business keeps trying to solve its credibility problem by misrepresenting what they do. The news business just can’t stop clowning itself. The latest indignity is an international fact-checking debacle originating, of all places, at a “festival of fact-checking.” The […]

By Zack Stanton, Politico Thirty years ago, sociologist James Davison Hunter popularized the concept of culture war. Today, he sees a culture war that’s gotten worse—and that spells trouble for the future of the American experiment. In 1991, with America gripped by a struggle between an increasingly liberal […]

This is what is going to happen. There will be a pullback on policing in poor and minority neighborhoods and communities (obviously, there is not going to be less policing in suburbs and wealthy areas). Crime rates will start to spiral as they did in the 70s and […]
Time is going to run out on the Israelis eventually. They’re getting too arrogant for their own good. Eventually, American public opinion is going to turn against them, and then they will be a shadow of their former selves when big brother no longer has their back. By […]
A Jewish woman questions whether having the state enact “Where are your papers?” laws in the name of health and hygiene is a good idea. Gets called a reactionary by enlightened progressives.
It’s increasingly obvious the Republicans are becoming the American Le Penists, i.e. a family fiefdom that functions as a permanent right-wing populist opposition party with a large enough fandom to stay in business, but not enough to pursue any real political transformation. It really says a lot about […]
Krystal Ball and Saagar Enjeti discuss the media’s change in coverage of the coronavirus “lab leak theory.”
FROM 2013: Today we’re joined by Gary Chartier of the Center for a Stateless Society for a discussion about the life and work of Lysander Spooner.

By Richard Gunderman Do you have a work schedule that leaves you with enough time off the clock to rest up and handle your other responsibilities? If so, you might owe something to Robert Owen, a wealthy industrialist who was born in Wales on May 14, 1771. Welsh […]
By Joel Kotkin, Claremont Institute In explaining his shift away from Maoist economics, Deng Xiao Ping, chairman of the Chinese Communist Party, described his market-oriented changes as “socialism with Chinese characteristics.” Today, American businesses, as well as the media and academic establishments that serve them, increasingly embrace what […]
Apparently, nothing. By Kim Iversen Now that the pandemic is waning in the US, let’s take a look at how the states did. Look at this list sorted by deaths per capita. There really is no rhyme or reason as to why some did better than others. Lockdown, […]
By Rick Moran, PJ Media Democrats have been flogging the image of Kamala Harris for more than six months, trying to show Americans why she should be popular, and the public isn’t buying it. The efforts and the expectations of success by Democrats say a lot about the […]
It will probably only make him more popular. By David Jackson, USA Today WASHINGTON – When Republicans talk about whether Donald Trump will run for president again in 2024, many hasten to add it may depend on a big unknown: his legal troubles. Could an indicted ex-president still lead […]
The USA: a country where doing a fraction of what a reasonable person would consider baseline standards gets called “sweeping reform.”
By Nicky Reid aka Comrade Hermit Exile in Happy Valley It’s an inevitability if you’re an online muckraker. It happens all the time. You get dragged down the rabbit hole by some malignant grandstanding troll and, regardless of what the devolving conversation was actually about, somebody gets called […]
Geraldo Rivera wasn’t afraid to call out Sean Hannity for his abhorrent takes on Israel.
Geraldo Rivera schooled Fox News on the ongoing crisis.
I’m not a fan of Vaush, but this is an unusually articulate defense of the intersectional left perspective. Of course, his analysis is still contained within the narrow and overly reductionist race/class/gender framework and progressive/reactionary dualism. Institutions have interests of their own, over and above their formal function […]
By Julian Langer, Anarchist News/Eco-Revolt Nomadism Not Dialectics I generally describe my anarchist-philosophy as ontological and one of my reasons for this is due to my lack of belief in authority, with my basic position being that all-is-(actually-)anarchy – the attempt at assuming authority I encounter as an […]
The answer they give is surprisingly good.
From 2014. By Ishaan Tharoor, Washington Post All signs indicate that the government of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is prepared to wage a protracted battle in the battered Gaza Strip as it seeks to crush the capabilities of the Islamist militant group Hamas. The ongoing conflict has already […]
By Nomaan Merchant, Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — The Department of Homeland Security plans to ramp up social media tracking as part of an enhanced focus on domestic violent extremism.

In the tradition of the Congress of Cultural Freedom.
This is a must-watch. This debut feature film by journalist Abby Martin began while reporting in Palestine, where she was denied entry into Gaza by the Israeli government on the accusation she was a “propagandist.” So Abby connected with a team of journalists in Gaza to produce the […]
Michael Lind really is one of the very best political analysts and social scientists out there today. Here, he thoroughly exposes both Biden and the Green New Deal as statist-capitalist, corporatist-plutocratic scams that will have a negligible impact on carbon emissions. By Michael Lind, Tablet The Biden administration’s […]
The future of conservativism will likely be something comparable to #walkaway in the center and something more like Le Penism on the right. The big question is to what degree rank and file conservatives will reject their neocon/Reaganite overlords. By Andrew Bacevich, The American Conservative In the grand […]
Russia Today A CNN news anchor has accused Pakistan’s Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi of using an anti-Semitic slur during a live interview after the diplomat claimed that Israelis “control the media.” The interview began with Qureshi talking about a possible ceasefire between the Palestinian militant group Hamas […]
Max Stirner seems to have nailed it 175 years ago.
The most immediately obvious problem with this article is that it rests on the assumption that Hamas launches rocket attacks on Israel for no other reason that boredom or having nothing better to do. By Jonah Goldberg Structural racism means different things to different people. But here’s a […]
