Nexus X HumectressBy Michael Frederick Rattray Functional Anarchism(s) and the Theory of Global ContemporaryArtinvestigates the intersection of art and anarchist philosophy in order to shed light on the phenomenon of global contemporary art. Many scholars have addressed the impact of anarchism upon modern art, yet such studies tend to stop […]
Probably one of the best discussions of “culture war” politics and related socioeconomic factors I have seen to date. The Red Tribe/Blue Tribe conflict is less about socialism vs. capitalism, or communism vs. fascism, and more a continuation of the historic American battles between the high churches and […]
By Michael Lind, Tablet The real divide isn’t between red states and blue states or cities and rural areas. It’s between mega-rich political donors and everyone else. Before the recent election gave President-elect Joe Biden a solid majority of the Electoral College, some fretful Democrats worried that it […]
By Michael Lind, Tablet In the third decade of the 21st century, the Social Register still exists, there are still debutante balls, polo and lacrosse are still patrician sports, and old money families still summer at Newport. But these are fossil relics of an older class system. The […]
That didn’t take long. The Pentagon says the Biden administration will not commit to a full withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan by May after it accused the Taliban of not honoring the commitments they made in their deal with the United States.
In other words, the rising sectors of the ruling class: the tech oligarchy and the new clerisy. Antony Sutton would have said, “I told you so.” “These were the top campaign contributors to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in 2019-2020. An interesting combination of Big Tech, Big Media, a little Big […]
BY MICHAEL DIMOCK AND JOHN GRAMLICH, Pew Research Center Donald Trump stunned the political world in 2016 when he became the first person without government or military experience ever to be elected president of the United States. His four-year tenure in the White House revealed extraordinary fissures in […]
Keith, Emma & RJ Game Stop vs Wall Street, Robinhood, micro-revolts in the United States, Dodger Stadium’s COVID-19 vaccination site temporarily shut down after protesters gather at entrance, Robinhood was supposed to be for the little guy, Citadel, aristocrats pretending to be friends with the peasants, rich people […]
By Nicky Reid aka Comrade Hermit Exile in Happy Valley Even a bitter Queer curmudgeon like myself has to begrudgingly admit that we’ve come a long way, baby. I don’t know if I can join the chorus of pretty pink-washed celebrities in singing “It gets better!” After all, […]
Ken Klippenstein, investigative reporter at The Intercept, Post, joins Emma Vigeland to discuss the fallout from the failed Capitol insurrection in terms of our national security and law enforcement agencies, as well as a potential expansion of indiscriminate terrorism laws to domestic terrorists, and why that’s problematic.
I recently wrote about how January has been the 20 year anniversary of the founding of Attack the System. It is interesting to reflect on what has happened in the subsequent two decades. In 2001, the US empire was arguably at its apex, firmly in control of a […]
I generally agree with the framework Carson outlines in this. It is for these reasons that I abstain from the mainstream “capitalism vs socialism” or “big government vs private sector” debate, although Carson himself usually ends up taking the positions of a functional social democrat/anarcho-Democrat like the right-libertarians […]
For decades, I advocated that anarchists move in a direction more like pan-secessionism. And now some anarchists have picked up the torch. I advocated for a libertarian-influenced insurgency, and now the Boogaloo Boys have picked up the torch. I advocated for a rapprochement between the radical left and […]
An interesting essay on economic history from Kevin Carson. I’ve found that it’s possible to make interesting comparisons and find interesting parallels between different public intellectuals. I’ve said before that Noam Chomsky is the Bertrand Russell of our time, the elder left-liberal icon whose ideas range from the […]
A somewhat interesting discussion of different perspectives on both Trump and historic fascism from a hard-left perspective. The debate still churns among scholars and political commentators: “is this fascism?” Trump has ignited public interest in the decades-long and unresolved historical debate about the specific characteristics of fascism as […]
It’s interesting how the Left appears to be fragmenting into multiple camps concerning the question of who is most oppressed, who is the revolutionary actor, etc. The big debates seem to be between the “class reductionist,” “intersectionality,” and”anti-whiteness” camps, with the latter tendency defining racism as all “non-leftist” […]
As I have said before, political ideologies are the new religions and political interest groups and subcultures are the new ethno-cultural/linguistic tribes. By Devin Foley, Intellectual Takeout If you’ve ever spent any time in politics, especially during caucus or primary season, you will quickly learn that there are […]
Watch this idiot end up being Attorney General or even President someday. Team Rising reacts to reports that Gov. Andrew Cuomo of New York and his administration underreported nursing home COVID deaths by thousands.
By Matt Agorist, Free Thought Project In the last three weeks, after the Trumpists were duped into thinking they could stop the election of Joe Biden by walking into the capitol and taking selfies with cops, the American technocratic police state has shifted into hyperdrive. In the name […]

By Damian Finbar White and Gideon Kossoff Few intellectual currents have played as influential a role in the development and shaping of modern environmentalism as the anarchist and libertarian tradition of social and political thought. Generalizations about common ideological roots to a politics as diverse and internally divided […]
By J.D. Tuccille, Reason In the panicked aftermath of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, the powers-that-be dusted off wish lists of surveillance-state powers and began monitoring and tracking us in ways that affect our lives two decades later. The political turbulence of recent years, culminating in the Capitol riot […]

Krystal Ball analyzes the growing anger American people have with the elites.
By Matt Taibbi In the fall of 2008, America’s wealthiest companies were in a pickle. Short-selling hedge funds, smelling blood as the global economy cratered, loaded up with bets against finance stocks, pouring downward pressure on teetering, hyper-leveraged firms like Morgan Stanley and Citigroup. The free-market purists at […]

If Trump manages to destroy the Republican Party he really will have performed a “service to his country.”
This is awesome. Fracture, fracture, fracture…A Congress fragmented into a 3-way fight between neoliberals, social democrats, and Taylor-Greene/Boebert wingnuts would be funny as hell. Speaker Nancy Pelosi spoke about adding more security for elected officials and declared that the enemy is within the House of Representatives.
