An interview with anarcho-fed Alexander Reid-Ross, in case anyone is in the mood for some comedy. Aside from Alexander Reid-Ross’ tendency toward slander, dishonesty, and sloppy work, it seems rather convenient that his definition of “fascist” amounts to “anyone who is an enemy of the US ruling class, […]
I would hold to a much narrower definition of socialism and capitalism than either of these guys.

By Bert Altena One of the characteristics of anarchist movements is their pattern of appearance and disappearance. In fact, there are two different patterns. One is short-term and occurred mainly during the period of classical anarchism (i.e. 1870–1914). During these years, in several countries, the anarchist movement disappeared, […]
by Kiveli Nikolaou, Vice Posadists believe that any civilization smart enough to invent space travel would naturally be a socialist society, so when extraterrestrials arrive to our planet they’ll be interested in overthrowing our capitalist system.

By Sarah Jones, Intelligencer The chilling spectacle of watching the political class redeem a criminal, again. I am not an art critic, but I don’t think George W. Bush’s new portraits are very good. They inspire nothing but malaise and communicate a dilettante energy. Painting is to Bush […]

I have long believed that there will eventually be a movement to legalize polygamy in the US, between the polyamory movement, immigration from cultures where polygamy is acceptable, and the growth of religious and ethnic subcultures that embrace polygamy. Pan-African Alliance Black polygamy has been low key trending […]

By Glenn Greenwald In the U.S. corporate media, the surest way to advance is to loyally spread lies and deceit from the U.S. security state. Bertrand is just the latest example. The most important axiom for understanding how the U.S. corporate media functions is that there is never […]
