Nexus X HumectressA genuine “multi-order world order” would probably look a lot like the world between 1500 and 1800 before the full consolidation of modern imperialism. Not any kind of anarchistic golden age to be sure, but one where there were distinctive civilizations and cultures with their own spheres of […]
I consider the most serious issue that currently faces humanity to be the ongoing concentration of power on an unprecedented level: political, economic, military, technological, cultural, medical, scientific, communicational, and legal, with the environment being the wild card in all of this. Anyone with libertarian values of any […]
By Lucien van der Walt Examining the theory and practice of ‘mass’ anarchism and syndicalism, this paper argues against Daryl Glaser’s views that workers’ council democracy fails basic democratic benchmarks and that, envisaged as a simple instrument of a revolution imagined in utopian ‘year zero’ terms, it will […]
By Ruth Kinna This paper explores the ways in which radical utopian themes have been taken up in contemporary anarchist thought and, in particular, the relationship between utopianism and prefiguration. Prefiguration has become a definitional concept in anarchist political thinking, though the meaning of the term is not […]
So much for the Democrats’ “socialism.” Founder of The Daily Poster, David Sirota, weighs in on Joe Biden’s potential pick to run the Office of Budget and Management.
Only a Republican could somehow manage to make Alexandria look like a genius in comparison. Krystal Ball and Saagar Enjeti weigh in on the Twitter spat between AOC and Nikki Haley over paying Americans to stay home. They also discuss spending trends that reveal people are spending more […]
By Nathan Bomey, USA TODAY America’s crisis of political segregation – we increasingly don’t live alongside, associate with or even marry people who think differently from us – is increasingly leading conservatives to congregate together on social media outlets designed specifically for people who think like them. The […]
Eventually, social media companies may end up like television networks where different tech companies simply pander to different audiences. We will have Parler, MeWe, and Gab for conservatives and Facebook, Twiter, and Google for liberals, just we have CNN and MSNBC for liberals and FOX and CBN for […]
FOX is throwing Trump under the bus now that he’s no longer useful. A split between FOX and the Trumpists would be great. A four-way ruling class splintering between Trumpists, neocons, neoliberals,and progressives is exactly what we need, hopefully with more splintering coming after that.
Plenty of Trumpists have contacted me since yesterday saying Giuliani’s press conference proved the Democrats stole the election. Whatever, folks. The Russiagate of the Right.
By Fatima Arif The international system may be described as a complex system of social, scientific, political, military and technological systems. This dynamic structure is very difficult to evaluate and it is even more difficult to predict its future. The distribution of power potential in the international system […]
By Abdul Rasool Syed “Make America great again” – a slogan that formed the nucleus of Trump’s electoral campaign vividly suggests that America is no more a great country. It is, in fact, an implicit admission that U.S is gradually losing its clout in international politics and hence, […]
This is a pretty good discussion of the relationship between race and class. Krystal Ball weighs in on California voter’s rejection of affirmative action.
Now it’s the Repugnicans turn to spend four years whining about a moderate Republican is really a dictator is on the horizon. The same way the Democraps did for the past four years.
Excellent. Now, if only something comparable could happen on the progressive side. Fragment, fragment, fragment…
By David Bates To what extent is it possible to situate Hardt and Negri’s thought? Are they best regarded as ‘anarchists’, ‘socialists’, ‘communists’, ‘marxists’, ‘leninists’, ‘postmarxists’ or ‘postanarchists’? Answering this question is no mere intellectual exercise. As Wittgenstein once remarked, ‘words are deeds’. On the radical left, much […]
By Ersel Aydinli With the wave of violent jihadist activities in recent years, the world’s attention hasshifted away from a traditional prioritizing of state forms of formal violence toward one focusing on an apparently “new” phenomenon of transnational violence. Yet transnational violence itself is not a new phenomenon; it in […]
Only on ATS will you find a “let’s destroy business” article right next to a “let’s bring back the gold standard” article. By Benjamin Franks ‘Anarcho’-capitalism has for decades occupied a small but significant position within ‘business ethics’, while the anarchism associated with the larger traditions of workers […]
By Stefan Gleason, Money Metals Exchange It was only after he entered politics that President Donald Trump began to fully grasp the bias, dishonesty, and fakeness that runs throughout the so-called mainstream media. But gold bugs and sound money advocates have long known to distrust the reporting of […]
Based on everything that has happened in 2020, I’d say the ATS position has largely been vindicated. On an international level, unipolarity seems to be moving toward retreat. Domestically, the lumpenproletariat has clearly demonstrated itself to be the vanguard class of the anarchist revolution. Pan-secessionism seems to be […]
Center for Immigration Studies The sanctuary jurisdictions are listed below. These cities, counties, and states have laws, ordinances, regulations, resolutions, policies, or other practices that obstruct immigration enforcement and shield criminals from ICE — either by refusing to or prohibiting agencies from complying with ICE detainers, imposing unreasonable […]
Anarchist News/Anathema Comparisons to the worldwide uprisings of 1968 have been drawn over the last several years as we’ve seen a resurgence of revolt the world over. Finally, this year, the United States began catching up after the murder of George Floyd, followed by many more murders of […]
The insurrection of 2020 indicated that the lumpenproletariat is capable of directly and successfully targeting state/ruling class outposts. What will be the next step in the escalation of the armed struggle? Potentially, an escalation of the conflict from a focus on the lowest level and most immediately visible […]
By Haley “In June of 2016, at 4 am, two days before the end of my freshman year in high school, two large men burst into my room and asked if I wanted to do this, “the easy way or the hard way.” My mom was crying hysterically […]
This looks interesting. Shawn Wilbur is very knowledgeable of classical anarchism. By Shawn Wilbur, Libertarian Labyrinth ’ve been contemplating hosting some sort of introductory course on anarchist history and theory for a long time now—and have put it off for a variety of reasons, not least of which […]
Marianne Williamson reminds me of Carol Burnett’s “Nora Desmond” character.
Jon Voight is apparently drifting off into Jim Jones-level insanity.
By Bill Lind, Traditional Right As of this writing, the outcome of the Presidential election is uncertain although it appears Biden will “win”, thanks to questionable vote totals from urban areas. The Senate looks as if it will remain Republican, and the Democrats have held onto the House […]
I always thought Kim is too intelligent and independently minded to be a party-line leftist.
The Zuck sucks. Krystal Ball and Saagar Enjeti discuss the tech hearings taking place on Capitol Hill.
Hopefully, a grim winter will lead to some nice springtime insurrections. Professor of Economics, Richard Wolff, discusses how the lack of a stimulus will impact the American people.
Some good economic commentary in this. The bad news is that the Third Worldization of the US class system will be complete once this pandemic thing passes. The good news is that more lumpenproletarian insurrections are on the way. Saagar Enjeti explains how the government’s response to Covid-19 […]
The full range of opinion among the ruling class and its functionaries is that the empire must never cede an inch. And 99% of Americans either agree or are indifferent as evidenced by the total rejection of Tulsi Gabbard by the Democrapic Party. Unipolarity will have to be […]
Dave Rubin’s program has interesting interviews at times, but he’s just become a neocon puppet at this point. He’s being used by the neocons to create the “next conservatism.” Kim’s critique of the Left is spot on although, fortunately, we don’t need the Left. We just need the […]
Trump’s worst flaw is his total subservience to Israel and Saudi Arabia and his wink and a nod to Turkey have been his worst flaws. Trump’s Iran policy seems to be mostly about pandering to the hawks while stopping short of actual war.
When Obama was the prez, I knew FOX News cultists who would recommend this book saying, “It’s happening here,” apparently on the grounds that both Obama and Austrian Charlie Chaplin favored public healthcare or something or other. Nowadays, I’m seeing left-cultists circulate this book, apparently on the grounds […]
I doubt Biden is much concerned about this. In the last five decades, I’ve spent time in or around the religious right, left-wing anarchism, the far-left, right-wing libertarianism, the militia movement/preppers, the far-right, and the alt-right. My general conclusion is that all of these milieus are mostly just […]
Trump seems to be working the hawks and doves against each other by claiming he wants to withdraw from Afghanistan while escalating hostilities against Iran. The former is popular with the isolationists and libertarians and the latter is popular with the neocons and Christian Zionists.
The system wants a Roman-style imperium. Krystal Ball and Saagar Enjeti react to Mitch McConnell’s announcement that President Trump will issue an Executive Order to withdraw troops from Afghanistan.
By Jonathan Kay, Quillette “While art has long maintained a symbiotic relationship with bourgeois state power, there’s still something deeply unsettling about our supposedly ‘radical’ artists manufacturing consent on behalf of one of our two entrenched capitalist parties,” wrote artist and self-described “culturally agnostic Marxist” Adam Lehrer in […]
The CEO of Mass Murder, Inc. Press TV Former US President Barack Obama has attempted to defend the unlawful use of assassination drones in his latest book. In an excerpt from the book, A Promised Land, published in the Sunday Times ahead of its release on Tuesday, Obama said the evolving face of warfare meant […]
Obama is the epitome of the ambitious yuppie whose only objective was to make it to the CEO’s chair. DC Bureau Chief of The Intercept, Ryan Grim, discusses Barack Obama’s new book “A Promised Land.”
It will interesting to see if a Bidenist regime imposes a national lockdown and/or mask mandate and what kind of protests that will provoke. Krystal Ball and Saagar Enjeti discuss newly imposed restrictions nationwide aimed at combating the spread of the Coronavirus.
This is probably the most important victory in the fight against the state in 50 years, since the draft was ended and the US withdrew from Vietnam in the early 1970s. This is the most important news to come out of the election, and not which asshole gets […]
The collapse of the war on drugs will probably continue to rapidly escalate in the years ahead. Drug policy reform seems to be picking up momentum the same way the gay rights movement started out on the margins and rapidly gained victories once a certain tipping point was […]
By Joseph Parampathu, Center for a Stateless Society In the first year of constant quarantine, rocked by worldwide social unrest, extreme tropical weather, and widespread government ineptitude, the complete inability and unwillingness of the ruling classes to make any substantive changes is clear. There will not be any […]
By Jason Lee Byas, Center for a Stateless Society As the pain, suffering, and sheer cost incurred by the criminal justice system in America spirals further and further out of control, more and more people have come to push for reform. Even Texas Governor Rick Perry, who once […]
The most “left-wing” an AOC administration would be might be something comparable to the mild social-democratic populism of Cristina de Kirchner. More likely, it would be similar to what a Ted Kennedy regime might have been if Mr. Chappaquiddick had ever gotten himself elected president. The best thing […]
The gist of this article is that Trumpism actually has nothing to do with fascism but could possibly, kinda sorta, be a stepping stone to fascism, maybe. Sometimes I think these “anti-fascist” people actually want fascism to happen so they can have something to feel heroic and/or self-righteous […]
