Nexus X HumectressIt’s hilarious to watch these Alex Jonesy people become a thorn in the side to the neocons and Reaganites. Keep ’em coming. More MTGs and Lauren Boeberts from the right, and more AOCs and Kshama Sawants from the left. Saagar Enjeti analyzes the ongoing battle within the Republican […]

Anarchism was always anti-imperialist while Marx and Engels supported 19th-century liberal imperialism. Marxist anti-imperialism really begins with Lenin and then Mao, mostly as a means of gaining support for their own regimes in the colonies and former colonies. By Joel Wendland-Liu The central cause of the split between […]

Prediction: If this lunatic is expelled from Congress, it will have the effect of radicalizing the right-wing to an even greater degree because they will come to see that the electoral system is worthless, and rigged to keep actual opposition figures out. AOC and the Squad may be […]
I thought the attack on the Capitol was funny as hell and long overdue. I wouldn’t want the people behind it to be the ones who are actually running the government (I don’t want anyone running the government) but there was no chance of that happening. It’s a […]
I’m a marginal fan of the music of each of the Mansons: Marilyn, Shirley, and Charles. Charles is probably my favorite of the three.

I have noticed that in relatively recent times the sex worker rights movement has grown significantly. I expect this to escalate in the same way that the gay rights and trans rights movements did previously and, like the TERFs vs trans conflict, the SWERFs vs sex workers conflict […]
This post from a social media site nails it as far as how the level of “freedom,” “democracy,” “human rights,” etc. of the USA should be evaluated. While it’s true we also have a large lumpenproletarian “underclass,” anyone in the USA who is middle class or above in […]
What’s interesting about this case from England is that the offender is not some football hooligan with a BNP membership but a young African woman who is probably either an immigrant or the descendent of very recent immigrants. Look for more conflicts of this kind as the size […]
The woke vs. anti-woke back and forth is so reminiscent of the 80s’ rendition of culture war politics, pitting the moral majoritarians who were convinced America was becoming Sodom and Gomorrah against the liberals who thought the US was on the verge of a theocratic revolution led by […]
Decentralization Blog This summary is fifty six pages in length. The manuscript itself, Decentralized Civilization, Prelude to the Subsequent Civilization is a substantial volume.

The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Episode 17 Repressive Tolerance Series, Part 1 of 4 We live in a crazy world today that seems to have gone off the rails. That’s because it is being driven by a broken logic, and, for all the flaws on the […]
I generally agree with Gramsci’s theory of revolution even if I don’t share many of his political views. If you want to understand the present moment, especially how similar Wokeness seems to Mao’s Cultural Revolution, you have to understand the Italian communist Antonio Gramsci. Gramsci wrote a series […]

By Casey Chalk, The American Conservative Burke warned us this might happen. No, not Tom Brady…although the 18th-century Anglo-Irish statesman’s penchant for the ancient and tried would have likely led him to predict that the “GOAT” was capable of another Super Bowl run. Rather, I’m talking about the […]

Murray Bookchin’s critique of Bernie from 1986. By Murray Bookchin, Anarchist Library The posters that appeared all over Burlington — Vermont’s largest city (pop: 37,000) in the winter of 1980–81 were arresting and provocative. They showed an old map of the city with a label slapped across it […]
By Morgan Gibson The centrality of anarchism to the praxis of contemporary anti-systemic social movements has been well documented.
