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 […]
This is interesting. YouTuber, @Shoe0nHead, also known as June Lapine, discusses what it was like to film a video at the infamous Capitol riots and what she learned from Trump supporters.
Forget Russia and China. We know whose “interference” we need to be concerned about. Dr. Trita Parsi, Georgetown Professor And Executive Vice President For The Quincy Institute For Responsible Statecraft, discusses the Biden administration’s policy plans for the Middle East.
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.
Saager speculates that Marjorie Taylor Greene represents the future of the Republican Party. That would be hilarious to have dozens of fruitbats like her in the Congress. Krystal Ball and Saagar Enjeti react to Senate Democrats attempting to gather bipartisan support for censuring Donald Trump as a conviction […]
System hysteria-mongering aside, there is some truth to this in the sense that as the Red Tribe continues to sink, some of its sub-tribes will continue to become more radicalized and determined to go down fighting, embracing a wide range of “extremist” perspectives along the way.
A sign of a decaying empire is when the ruling class becomes so arrogant they no longer feel the need to maintain the loyalty of the military. Big mistake from their vantage point.
The imperialists know their empire is getting harder to maintain. The Trumpists seemed to be trying to outsource its maintenance to client states and allies like Israel, the Gulf States, Turkey, etc. The Bidenists will probably adopt something like the “multi-partner” approach Hillary used to push when she […]
By Andrew Korybko, One World The Biden Administration is following in the footsteps of the former Trump one by exercising hypocrisy towards unauthorized and violent protests. Both his and Trump’s condemned the violent storming of the US Capitol earlier this month, yet neither has any compunctions about endorsing […]
An interview with Bookchin from 1979. This is what real anarchism looks like, folks. I can only imagine what kind of monstrosity he would find the USA of today to be, and what a joke he would find many of today’s “anarchists” to be. By Jeff Riggenbach, Reason […]

The clerisy kneels before the princess. Team Rising discusses the newest beat announced by the LA Times, “Covering Kamala Harris.”
It’s unfortunate that “libertarianism” is often conflated with plutocracy by both the Left and Right with Bismarckian “Prussian Socialism” (what Americans call “progressivism”) as the supposed solution. Reaganites and their descendants are about as “libertarian” as King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella. Corporate plutocracy results from a plethora of […]
The impact of this will be to double the wages of the higher level unskilled and semi-skilled, but at the cost of unemployment for the least skilled. The petite bourgeoisie, which has already been decimated by the lockdowns, will be further harmed. Minimum wage increases are a band-aid […]
A few years back, I developed what I call the “0 to 100” scale as a means of characterizing the degree of anarchism or anti-authoritarian exhibited by a particular philosophy or organization. A zero would be a full-blown totalitarian regime like those of Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Kim, or […]
While I have always rejected, and continue to reject, the view that Trump was a “fascist” (as opposed to a low-rent Nixon), I do see certain potential dangers regarding right-wing authoritarianism. The cult-like sectors of the right-wing could potentially be marshaled in an authoritarian, statist direction by a […]
These might be some potential locations for intentional communities. By Kal Flyn, The Guardian For many years it seemed that overpopulation was the looming crisis of our age. Back in 1968, the Stanford biologists Paul and Anne Ehrlich infamously predicted that millions would soon starve to death in […]
Ben Debney The centenary of the Russian Revolution of October 1917 represents a unique moment for historical remembrance and celebrated, the event in question a momentous episode in the history of working-class struggle and a beacon of hope for anyone who has ever dared to dream of a […]
By Peter R. Quinones So, part eight ended at the point where the protesters and rioters in response to the George Floyd video were magically deemed immune from COVID 19. And it truly was a “selective,” magical immunity for protesters of “institutional racism” because when another group of […]
By Simon Choat Recent years have seen the development of a new form of anarchism. Under the label ‘postanarchism’, writers such as Todd May, Saul Newman and Lewis Call have sought to combine the insights of anarchism with those of recent Continental philosophy, in particular post-structuralism. A central […]
By Peter R. Quinones This is a simple question. One you should ask yourself often (some of us ask and answer it everyday). Murray Rothbard’s short article quoted in the title is a masterpiece, but was written in 1977. The last remnants of the gold standard had just […]
Once again, the media and academia are the new church that is aligned with the ruling class. By Matt Taibbi On January 6th, Jon Farina, photographer and videographer for Jordan Chariton’s Status Coup outlet, captured horrifying images. At the Capitol, a pro-Trump mob tried to burst into the […]
