Nexus X HumectressBy David Kotok, Financial Sense Note to readers. Yang Hu is the Director of Economics and Mortgage Market Analysis at Fannie Mae. He is also a serious student of history and a thoroughly skilled writer. He offered a rejoinder to my earlier commentary entitled “I’m worried.” What Kind […]
I have an essay coming out soon on Tolkien’s political ideas.
This makes for interesting propaganda from the Sinophobe “realist” wing of the ruling class, but it has cause and effect in reverse. China would be nothing without the support of Western capital. No Western investors, no Western borrowers, no Western export markets, no Western consumers=No China. It’s as […]
Sorry, lefties, but if these kinds of tactics are legitimate for “social justice” protestors they’re legitimate for anti-maskers. By Katie Shepherd, Washington Post Minutes into a public health district’s virtual meeting to vote on a local mask mandate in Idaho on Tuesday evening, Ada County Commissioner Diana Lachiondo […]
My enemies from the Antifa often do not realize what good pan-secessionists they actually are. By Andy Ngo, The Postmillennial Black Lives Matter-Antifa and other left-wing extremists have repelled police and created a new “autonomous zone” in north Portland to protect a house being illegally occupied by squatters. […]
2021’s encore to 2020?
It couldn’t have happened to nicer people.
Raytheon’s new front man.
I don’t care about electoral politics, but I wish Yang luck on this. Some pretty good economic analysis in this.
The ruling class keeps trying to tighten the screws.
So much for the “coup.”
An interesting discussion that challenges Branch Covidian orthodoxy. Tom Woods interview Jay Bhattacharya. Listen here. Jay Bhattacharya (MD, PhD, Stanford) is a professor of medicine at Stanford University who has been working both on the epidemiology of COVID-19 as well as the appropriate policy response. He is a […]
This is a must-listen for anyone who is interested in the relationship between the state and the oppression of blacks, particularly the relationship between economics laws, housing laws, and drug laws. Williams’ “The State Against Blacks” is a must-read. Another similar book that is quite good is Sowell’s […]
The problem I have with Sinophobes like Saager is that they have cause and effect in reverse. The CCP is powerful to the degree that the Atlanticists enable them. Saagar Enjeti shares his concerns about how Joe Biden’s administration will deal with China.
Hopefully, very doomed, and with Trump using OANN, Newsmax or his own network to undermine FOX, Krystal Ball discusses calls for the media to stop covering Donald Trump once Joe Biden is sworn in as President of the United States.
We need a moratorium on rent, medical bills, student loans, credit cards, student loans, utility bills, car payments, and back taxes. What now have is a government-induced depression with a major resource grab by the ruling. Reparations being the only viable solution (except for another wave of direction […]
This is a pretty good overview of the latest pandemic news. Krystal Ball and Saagar Enjeti weigh in on the start of Covid vaccinations in Britain, Dr. Anthony Fauci’s prediction that we will see another surge in cases stemming from Thanksgiving, and reports that the Trump Administration chose […]
The most interesting thing about the election was the way in which what are essentially two moderate Republican candidates managed to dupe millions into thinking this was some kind of Eastern Front existential showdown between fascism and communism. By Kevin Singer, Alyssa Rockenbach The Independent Men who refer […]
World War Two was a long way from being the “just war” or “good war” it is often claimed to be even by many who are otherwise antiwar. World War One was a catfight between the colonialist powers that left many colonialist countries in shambles and created the […]
It’s amazing how many so-called “anarchists” are actually viscerally opposed to decentralization, usually on the grounds that someone, somewhere, somehow might be racist or not have an abortion clinic on the next corner, as if that’s all that matters. Although some of the Misesoids expressed a typical bourgie […]
It is obvious enough that “big capital” is using the pandemic as a means of eliminating its competition from “small capital” and the petite bourgeoisie, which is why it is not surprising that right-libertarians and small “c” conservatives, for whom small capital is a primary constituent, are the […]
The police state meets the therapeutic state. By Jeffrey Schweers, Tallahassee.Com State police brandishing firearms Monday raided the Tallahassee home of Rebekah Jones, the former Department of Health data scientist who built the state’s much-praised COVID-19 dashboard before being fired over what she said was refusing to “manipulate […]
Some more pan-secession in action. New Jersey 101.5 To help slow the spread of the novel coronavirus in New Jersey the state Health Department has dramatically stepped up its contact tracing program. If you test positive for coronavirus, a contact tracer from your local health department will call […]
From a 2015 review of ATS on Apple Podcasts radio. I’ve followed several anarchist thinkers over social media in recent years and come to the conclusion that most of them understand anarchism in rote, academic ways while having little practical understanding of what anarchy might actually look like, […]
Most of the US Left seems to have bought into the narrative that Trump is either a literal fascist or a conventional reactionary or right-wing strongman like Putin, Erdogan, Orban, Duterte, Bolsonaro, etc. I think all of this is a misunderstanding of what historic fascism actually was, how […]
It’s funny to watch some bimbo trophy wife whose husband bought her a Senate seat try to pretend like she has an IQ above the proverbial room temperature.
Ain’t gonna happen. Look for a genuine armed insurgency based in rural America to emerge at some point in the future like the similar insurgencies that have traditionally existed in remote areas of Latin America as the US class system increasingly begins to look like Latin America’s class […]
Krystal on how you can be a billionaire and still be a loser.
Well, this should be interesting…
Whatever else could be said about Trump, at least he’s a thorn in the side of the neocons and Reaganites.
One law for the ruling class, another law for all other classes.
Meek reformists begging for a few extra crumbs for the peasants.
More “let them eat cake” shenanigans from Princess Nancy Antoinette.
Surrounded on all sides.
If neoliberal corporatism is the new feudalism, then the prison-industrial complex is the new slavery.
By Colin Todhunter, Counterpunch The world is fast losing farms and farmers through the concentration of land into the hands of rich and powerful land speculators and agribusiness corporations. Smallholder farmers are being criminalised and even made to disappear when it comes to the struggle for land. They […]
By Troy Southgate Similarities have been drawn between National-Anarchism and aspects of the Dark Mountain Project and therefore it was only a matter of time before its chief spokesperson, Paul Kingsnorth, made an effort to distinguish his ideas from ours. Richard Hunt, one of National-Anarchism’s main influences, once […]
By Peter R. Quinones Let’s just jump right in since you can go to part 1 and see my yada, yada qualifications and such. Here’s the Tweet: End all corporate bailouts/welfare For those of you who remember the great recession of 2008, or have read about it in books such […]
Globally, the lockdowns have had the effect of colonialism on steroids. By Kelsey Piper, Vox The coronavirus pandemic that’s shattered lives throughout high-income countries is hitting the developing world as well. But while many of the world’s poor countries affected by the virus have imposed the same social […]
By Don Fitz “And Esau said to Jacob, Feed me, I pray thee, with that same red pottage; for I am faint; And Jacob said, Sell me this day thy birthright. And Esau said, Behold, I am at the point to die: and what profits shall this birthright […]
By Nicky Reid aka Comrade Hermit Exile in Happy Valley People often ask me why I continue to insist on identifying with the far-left considering my growing rash of beefs with the movement and my increasingly contrarian tendencies, and its not a bad question. I find myself asking […]
Somehow, I doubt the ruling class is threatened by any of this. What is most regrettable, however, is that so many “anarchists” and “libertarians” feel the need to participate in this stuff.
National political reporter, Jonathan Easley, discusses why Democrats are concerned that the party would drift back to old established ways.
New York Times bestselling author and Columbia University Ph.D. Tom Woods delivered these remarks to about 100 state legislators, whom he urged to be the voices of the truly voiceless in the debate over the correct response to COVID.
Some more pan-secessionist direct action. This is the equivalent of seminarians going on strike against the Church during the Middle Ages. Indigo Oliver, In These Times At the end of November, members of the Columbia University-Barnard College chapter of Young Democratic Socialists of America (YDSA) launched a tuition strike […]
