It seems that the principal differences between libertarian capitalists and libertarian socialists amount to five basic considerations: 1) how should legitimate ownership be defined and 2) what is the most optimal form of economic organization? 3) the desirability/optimality of “democracy” 4) whether social democracy is an improvement over […]

Gary Chartier joins me to discuss. Related Episodes Ep. 1426 Can You Be Christian and Libertarian? Ep. 767 Romans 13: […]

I always thought the totalitarian human revolution would be complete when it came to dominate the ideology of the military. The troops go to sensitivity training while the drone attacks continue. The totalitarian humanist revolution is now complete. ‘Tucker Carlson Tonight’ examines the Pentagon’s war on ‘domestic extremism.’
By Sean Illing, Vox One of the greatest challenges facing democratic societies in the 21st century is the loss of faith in public institutions. The internet has been a marvelous invention in lots of ways, but it has also unleashed a tsunami of misinformation and destabilized political systems […]
“Sheldon Adelson, the late owner of Israel Hayom, provided a private plane for Pollard to fly to Israel.” Sheldon Adelson, the late owner of the Republican Party. The Israelis have their hands in the full spectrum of US politics from the Alexander Reid-Ross Left to the Trumpist Right, […]
I’ve noticed this over and over again. When politically incorrect crimes are involved (gun law violations, hate speech, hate crimes, rape accusations, domestic violence, this-or-that denialism, accusations of sex trafficking, right-wing rioting), the “soft on crime” progressives suddenly do an about-face and start to rival Lee Kuan Yew […]
By Jo Ward, The Observer A bad neighborhood. That’s what a few residents on Liberty Street in Fredonia are feeling about where they live as an individual at 140 Porter Road keeps posting political signs of questionable nature. It is offensive and inappropriate for the school buses that […]

Glad to see there are some Trotskyists who actually criticize human rights imperialism. “In the interview, Ocasio-Cortez presents the Democratic Party as having been completely transformed into a working class party.” Whatever. The Republicans are far-right plutocrats and militarists (the perfect ARENA/Likud hybrid) and the Democrats center-right neoliberals […]
It was Bill Bishop who originally developed the “Big Sort” theory as well. Some research shows that education level is the primary dividing line in voting patterns, although on a cultural level I think it’s more a matter of WASPs vs. anti-WASPs with the most elite WASPs being […]
By Erik London, World Socialist Web Site An initial examination of the voting data in the 2020 presidential election exposes as false the racialist narrative of American politics that is relentlessly promoted by the Democratic Party.

Next up: “Today, the Biden administration announced plans to draft migrant children into the US military.” A Pentagon spokesman noted, “Our child soldiers represent the commitment to age diversity in our armed forces.”
By J.C. Tuccille, Reason Predictive policing—a concept seemingly pulled straight from the 2002 popcorn flick Minority Report—has become increasingly hot with law enforcement agencies over the past decade.

By Matt Taibbi The Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) has released a much-hyped, much-cited new report on “Foreign Threats to the 2020 Elections.” The key conclusion: We assess that Russian President Putin authorized, and a range of Russian government organizations conducted, influence operations aimed at […]
This is pretty funny in places. Sky News host Chris Kenny says US President Joe Biden’s first press conference was “a whole lot worse than most of the media would like to tell you”. “Since the press conference, pictures have emerged of cheat notes the president had on […]
Fareed Zakaria must be planning on retiring soon.
During Monday’s House hearing over whether the District of Columbia should become the nation’s 51st state, neoconservative political analyst Bill Kristol offered up quite the head-scratching hot take: Make D.C. a state, and while you’re at it, make Cuba one too. “One reason I’m for DC statehood: The […]
