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 […]

Liberals and leftists who fail to recognize the totalitarian humanist cultural revolution are on par with conservatives who think the cops are all a bunch of nice guys who just want to serve and protect.
“Officials” need to realize that the primary cause of DT is that quite a few “officials” suck.
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. Krystal Ball breaks down how mainstream media […]

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 last thing either party wants to focus on is bread and butter issues. That’s why they’re doubling down on culture war issues because they hope they can use those as a permanent distraction from issues that actually threaten the class interests of those running both parties.
By Joel Kotkin, Quillette Politicians across the Western world like to speak fondly of the “middle class” as if it is one large constituency with common interests and aspirations. But, as Karl Marx observed, the middle class has always been divided by sources of wealth and worldview. Today, […]

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. Peter Zeihan is president and founder of the firm Zeihan on Geopolitics, […]
Fragment, fragment, fragment… Krystal Ball and Saagar Enjeti react to the biggest moments at CPAC this past weekend, including Donald Trump’s first public speech since leaving office.
Based on my own extensive observations of and interactions with people who have been in both camps, I’d say it was usually the same thing on “both sides.” Mostly assholes who just like to fight about shit. I’m also suspicious of anyone who refers to themself as a […]
CPAC is hardly my cup of tea, but I would not be surprised if within a few years CPAC will be getting the same treatment as Alt-Right gatherings. All it would take would be for hotels like the Hyatt to be threatened with riots, arson, terrorism, etc. for […]
By James Bovard, Ron Paul Institute Acrimony and recriminations continue to swirl around the 2020 presidential election.

Senior congressional […]

By Edward Skidelsky, The Critic In March 2019, tax expert Maya Forstater was dismissed from her job — legally, according to a later judicial ruling — for voicing the view that “sex is a biological fact, and is immutable.” When author J.K. Rowling came to Forstater’s defence, she […]
