It appears that the main foreign policy difference between Democrats and Republicans is that Democrats prefer a US-dominated multilateral liberal internationalism, while Republicans favor US unilateralism within a neoconservative or neo-realist framework. Republicans are more concerned about keeping China in its place as a potential economic rival and […]
A job well done. It seems the prevailing trend is that leftists attack state outposts at the local level, while rightists attack the state directly in the capitol. Fair enough. Unfortunately, too many “conservatives” and even some “libertarians” are taking a position that defends state institutions when they […]
Once again, this is not socialism. This is workers’ capitalism.

Genuine Marxist-Leninists, Maoists, and other forms of historic authoritarian leftism have practically zero representation in US politics, even on the far fringes. I think this meme is correct that most of the M-L groups in the US are functional social democrats which puts them in the center-left. For […]
On a meta-paradigmatic level, I think the anarchist achievement of cultural and intellectual hegemony would rival the emergence of the Axial Age, the transition from polytheism to monotheism among world religions, or the Enlightenment in terms of world-historical significance. On a more intermediate or micro-level, we have prototypes […]
It’s Going Down The following text argues that the push by the fascist far-Right will continue in the current time period and to combat its rise, the anarchist movement must form a federation of different groups in order to better organize. The events of the 6th demonstrate that […]
The Onion ATLANTA—In a press conference updating the public on the ongoing investigation, the Atlanta Police Department revealed Wednesday that they had ruled out mass shooting as a cause of death after the 21-year-old suspect told officers that he didn’t shoot anyone. “Following an exhaustive interrogation in which […]

This was recorded before the presidential election. I suspect a secessionist movement in the US wouldn’t be done “legally” as much as it would simply happen, legal or not. Can we secede our way to a more perfect union? Or are all 50 states simply stuck with each […]

This seems to be around right. Even most so-called “tankies” in the US are center-left social democrats. For example, every “tankie” I know personally or by reputation who is under the age of 70 is pro-gay rights, pro-trans rights, pro-immigration, and many are pro-drug legalization. These are hardly […]

As I’ve said before, we’re moving back to the 19th century’s world of unprecedented technological advancement, massive socioeconomic disparities, and multi-order geopolitics.
