Reviewed by Lewis Mates, Durham University It has become something of a cliché to observe the remarkable explosion of renewed academic interest in syndicalism in recent years. While the British ‘baby boomers’ sought inspiration and understanding from early twentieth-century syndicalist movements in the context of increasing industrial militancy […]
What does it mean when Big Tech is funding a guy who advocates literal totalitarianism, comparable to William Pierce’s “Order” or the Ayatollah Khomeini’s “Council of Guardians,” under the cover of a false “anti-racism”? Of all the political and/or commentariat figures out there today, I’m inclined to argue […]
By Peter R. Quinones Even people who can’t tell you what government agencies were involved in the Waco massacre will say, “The Branch Davidians were a suicide cult and set themselves on fire!” At a later date, possibly, we’ll look at the fire, and who started it, but […]

A very balanced treatment of this issue from Michael Lind. As a general rule, I currently find Lind and Joel Kotkin to be the best writers on socioeconomic issues and their relationship to culture. By Michael Lind, Tablet It’s way more complicated than left versus right. olitics often […]
By Brad Littlejohn, The American Conservative Especially since the events of January 6, “Christian nationalism” has become all the rage among the chattering classes, promising to join such hallowed terms as “white nationalism,” “alt-right,” and “religious Right” as a catch-all for everything that is putatively wrong with American […]
By Philip Chrysopoulos, Greek Reporter’ The ancient Greek philosopher Diogenes the Cynic (also known as Diogenes of Sinope) could have been the first anarchist, or the first absurdist, or the first satirist, or the first naturalist — depending on the reader’s point of view. By today’s standards, Diogenes […]
By Ally Marie McLean When it comes to efficiently allocating resources, the United States federal government usually gets in the way. In his article “The Use of Knowledge in Society,” F.A.

By Don Fitz March 2, 2021 was the five year anniversary of the murder of Berta Cáceres, who opposed the Agua Zarca dam in Honduras. That date was less than one month after the deaths of dozens of people from Tehri Dam disaster in Uttarakhand, India. The two […]
By J.D. Tuccille, Reason There is no crisis, real or imagined, that government officials don’t see as an opportunity to expand their authority and hurt their enemies.

A representative of the right-wing of the ruling class attacks the left-wing of the ruling class.
That’s too bad. A debate between Coleman Hughes and Ibram X. Kendi would have been interesting.
This is so pathetic. One used car salesman memorializes another.
Kyle is right that Trump’s non-interventionist rhetoric is largely fraudulent. However, it is interesting that this kind of rhetoric is now popular among “conservatives.” Not exactly the conservatism I grew up with.
I’d say I have two basic goals for the future of anarchist movement(s) in North America. Jettisoning the prevailing Marxist economic paradigm in favor of the “left-wing market anarchist” paradigm that some newer camps have adopted. Jettisoning the prevailing progressive universalism (“worldwide wokeness”) in favor of the critique […]
ByJack Date,Luke Barr, andMorgan Winsor, ABC News U.S. Capitol Police officials said Wednesday they have “obtained intelligence that shows a possible plot to breach the Capitol by an identified militia group on Thursday, March 4” — the date that far-right conspiracy theorists believe former President Donald Trump will […]

This is some important history. It’s interesting to see guys like Maupin and Dore becoming controversial for the same reasons I was controversial 10-20 years ago.
So who won?
The Third Reich also insisted the invasion of Poland was in self-defense. Stalin made similar claims about the invasion of Finland.
The system is rigged.

Hart, who authored Drug Use for Grown-Ups, argues against the punitive response to drug […]
The C4SS weenies get it half right, except they just can’t get past their Tower of Babel universalism. “Well, yeah, devolution is good but only if all 1600 polities have a liberal government and become part of a world government someday.” When will anarchists realize that anarchism and […]
Well, well, well…what do we have here? Alexander Reid-Ross is involved with a law enforcement/intelligence/prosecutor connected outlet that specifically targets “anarcho-socialists.”
As Joel Kotkin points out, the USA really is becoming more like a feudal-royal system where the court media fawns over celebrity-aristocrat politicians and royal family dynasties, with the new clerisy enforcing moral orthodoxy, and the peasants being left to starve.

I will always be grateful to Donald Trump for taking control of the Republican Party, completely running it into the ground, making it into a Titanic-level disaster, and a bigger laughing stock than it was before. Now if only someone could do the same for the Democrats. Jane […]
How is a dude who can barely talk or think going to hold press conferences? Team Rising reacts to calls for the Biden administration to be more transparent with the public.
“Left foreign policy”: Brown nose neoliberals to the point of eventually drifting into neoconservatism. The Stalinist Left and paleoconservative, Rothbardian libertarian, and (select) Alt-Right sectors are usually pretty good on foreign policy. Virtually everyone else sucks. Three cheers for the mythical Red-Brown alliance! May all of Alexander Reid-Ross’s […]
It’s rather amusing to watch all of these do-gooders begging the ruling class for more crumbs. Krystal Ball and Saagar Enjeti discuss the progressive push, particularly from Sen. Sanders, to keep the fight to raise the minimum wage alive.

The more conflict between the neoliberals and the Left, the better. And the more in-fighting within both the Left and neoliberals, the better. Krystal Ball outlines how President Joe Biden is slowly losing the support of the left.
Excellent. A fragmented world is our only hope for resisting global technocratic totalitarianism and creating the breathing room needed for the proliferation of the startup societies that will replace the statocratic systems that are currently dominant.
