Nexus X HumectressFloated Biden Cabinet Like West Wing Episode From Hell
John McCain’s wife is on Biden’s transition team. As I have said, the neocons now control both parties.
Biden’s First Executive Orders Revealed
The return of Obamaism. Fortunately, it looks like the Republicans will control the Senate and Supreme Court while the Democrats will control the Presidency and the House, which means that divided government survives. Krystal Ball and Saagar Enjeti share their thoughts on the reported Executive Orders Joe Biden […]
How Wokeness Distorted The Polls
Journalist, Zaid Jilani, shares his thoughts on how “wokeness” may have distorted political polling.
Neocons IMMEDIATELY Try To Retake The Republican Party
Trump’s biggest mistake may have been not to carry out a Saddam Hussein-like blood purge of these characters. Krystal Ball and Saagar Enjeti discuss how the term “endless wars” is being used in some places as political sloganeering rather than as a serious critique of continued U.S. involvement […]
How 2020 Results DESTROYED Every Mainstream Narrative About Voters
Trump’s 2020 performance improved over his 2016 performance among virtually every demographic EXCEPT honkies and crackers. The discussion of the “diploma divide” is interesting. Krystal Ball and Saagar Enjeti react to the election results, they also weigh in on President Trump’s refusal to concede.
Trump Has Made the Left Fucking Stupid
By Nicky Reid aka Comrade Hermit Exile in Happy Valley Donald Trump has made the American left fucking stupid. I honestly can’t think of a more eloquent way to put it than that. In one of histories most vicious ironies, the greatest legacy of Orange Man Bad may […]
November 7 as Victims of Communism Day—2020
I’ve seen some leftists ridiculing this on social media with comments like “But every day is a victims of capitalism day!” as if it is a matter of either/or, or some kind of “Who’s most oppressed?” pissing contest between global victims of the state. Ilya Somin, Reason While […]
Against Atlanticist Hegemony
I generally consider 4PT to be more counter-imperialist than anti-imperialist but this is spot on. New Resistance Once again the American left proves it’s completely blinded by Eurocentric racism as it gleefully applauds the reassertion of American liberalism as the head of the modern, Eurocentric, world order. At […]
Trump Is Gone. Trumpism Just Arrived
By Andrew Sullivan The “wisdom of the American people” is a horrifying cliché, routinely hauled out every four years as pious pabulum by those whose candidate just won. But the complicated and close election results of 2020, in so far as we can understand them at this point […]
The Tribal Multiverse
By Troy Southgate At the turn of the century, when I was still formulating my own National-Anarchist ideas, I made a point of saying that our communities must be based around a central or unifying vision and I still believe this to be the case. As an Absolute […]
‘This f—ing virus’: Inside Donald Trump’s 2020 undoing
By NATASHA KORECKI, ALEX ISENSTADT, ANITA KUMAR, GABBY ORR, CHRISTOPHER CADELAGO and MARC CAPUTO ,Politico Brad Parscale was on the phone with President Donald Trump and top White House officials in mid-February when someone on the line asked the campaign manager what worried him the most. Parscale, speaking […]
The Greatest Conspiracy of All
By Troy Southgate The large number of people who were removed from Facebook for attacking Biden in the run-up to the U.S. election should have realised the truth: this is not because Facebook is part of an ‘anti-Trump’ conspiracy, but due to the fact that the decision to […]
Trump campaign: ‘This election is not over’
A senior White House aide says US President Donald Trump has no plans to immediately concede his possible election defeat.
Trump TERRIFIED About Going to Prison If He Loses
Trump has always reminded me of Silvio Berlusconi, who also ended up in prison after a term as the Italian Prime Minister.
Stop Playing the Game
Derrick Broze: “Friends, It’s going to be hell no matter what. I know SOME of you see past the games, but many of you who follow me still play the game. Here’s what I see: 1. The Biden “Revolutionaries” – these are the folks who were/are committed to […]
The Predator Class Seeks Martial Law
Derrick Broze: “Friends, Generally, as an anarchist, I take joy in seeing more and more Americans lose faith in the political system and voting. I work daily to help people understand that choosing government is not the most effective or principled way to achieve the changes we desire. […]
Why I OPPOSE a Biden/Harris Administration
A very thorough critique of Bidenism. By Sean Jobst This is not an endorsement. My perspective is cultural, that true changes occur within the thinking and social actions of people, not in fleeting political charades. Its a recognition that change must occur within ourselves first and then extend […]
Republicans and Democrats Agree: End the War on Drugs
As one who grew up in the America of Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan, this is something I never thought I would see. By Nicholas Kristof, New York Times Voters in red and blue states may be in accord on nothing else, but they passed measures to liberalize […]
Glenn Greenwald on Lessons from the Election, Leaving the Intercept and More
Glenn Greenwald joins to discuss the election (taped on Thursday), leaving the Intercept, and more. Matt and Katie ponder the future of both parties after a tightly contested result.
What Can the Left Expect From a Biden Administration?
Nothing except some token wokeness. The Left is like some barfly that hooks up with some rich dude hoping to become the lady of the house only to get used and tossed.
Did Fox News Blow It By Calling Arizona Too Soon?
Their five years of pretend Trumpism aside, it’s obvious FOX can’t wait to be rid of Trump. The last thing the right-wing of the ruling class wants is a head of state that even mildly fakes isolationist/non-interventionist or anti-neoliberal views on foreign policy and economics, thereby popularizing and […]
No More Presidents
Do we need a head of state? Does the United States of America need a president?
The World of the Roman Empire
A map of the Eastern hemisphere in 50 A.D. Outside the Caesarian and Han dynasties, traditional tribes were largely independent. The ancient world provides a prototype for an anarchistic post-postmodernity, the proliferation of infinite diversity in infinite combinations.
Tribal Nations of the Western Hemisphere
A look at the pre-colonial Western hemisphere. Actual copies of these maps are available for sale online. They extraordinarily detailed although they are also extraordinarily expensive.
Commonist Tendencies: Mutual Aid Beyond Communism
By Jeff Shantz As capitalist societies in the twenty-first century move from crisis to crisis, oppositional movements in the global North (which have been somewhat stymied (despite ephemeral manifestations like Occupy) are confronted with the pressing need to develop organizational infrastructures that might prepare the ground for a […]
The World Might Be Heading toward a Bloody November and an Even Bloodier Era
One of the (predictably) neglected aspects of Trumpist foreign policy is the fact that Trump has farmed out the Syrian War to Erdogan. This is has been done for multiple reasons. First, it is a means of escalating the war against the Iranian-led Axis of Resistance as part […]
Consociationalism
At some point, the US will likely have to convert to a consociational system in order to avoid complete fragmentation. In fact, I suspect the ruling class will eventually come to see such a system as a possible alternative to the dissolution of the mother country of the […]
Transnational capitalist class
The bulk of the world system explained very nicely in a single Wikipedia entry. Is it merely a coincidence that the “cultural Marxist” revolution happened at the same time as the ascendence of the transnational capitalist class? Far too many Western radicals do not understand the degree to […]
Protesters in Portland target a city commissioner’s home, set fire to city hall
Thinking globally, acting locally. MSN Protests in Portland once again turned violent Thursday night as protesters targeted a city commissioner’s home and then set fire to the Portland City Hall, according to the Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office. A group of around 60 people gathered at a North Portland […]
Fox News host Laura Ingraham advises Trump to accept defeat with ‘grace and composure’ in unusual messaging shift
I’ve always thought that the neocons who pull the strings at FOX and many of their talking heads were closet anti-Trumpers who had to pretend to be Trumpists in order to keep their ratings up with their nursing home/trailer park coalition audience. Now they’re throwing Orange Man under […]
Tolstoy, history and non-violence
By Terry Hopton It is difficult to discuss Tolstoy’s thought without invoking Berlin’s famous dictum that, ‘Tolstoy was by nature a fox, but believed in being a hedgehog.’ Applying this to Tolstoy’s views of history, which have a prominent place in War and Peace, Berlinshows how Tolstoy’s fox-like […]
Deepening Anarchism: International Relations and the Anarchist Ideal
By Alex Prichard Anarchist practice is localist and anarchist theory has generally followed in itsdisregard for the structures of global politics and the ways in which these underminethe possibility of the anarchist ideals. In this paper I set out one set of reasons as to why this state of […]
How Do Medical Students Get More Experience in the US than Cuba?
By Don Fitz During the last 10 years I have written multiple articles documenting how Cuba has better medical practice and education than the US. To be honest, I have known for a long time that there is an area of medical training where medical students in the […]
The Myth of the Private Sector, Part I: Why Big-Small and Vertical-Horizontal Trumps “Public-Private”
By Kevin Carson, Center for a Stateless Society Today (Oct. 28) Rachel McKinney, a friend who works as professor of philosophy, complained on Twitter that she was trying to create a midterm exam and “blackboard is complete fucking garbage. No intuitive way to break up questions into sections, […]
No Matter Who Wins, 2020 Was A ‘Middle Finger’ To The Elite
Biden was/is the anointed candidate of the ruling class whose administration will be the Obama/Bush regime rolled into one. But of all eligible voters, 1/3 voted for the opposition, 1/3 voted for a third party or didn’t vote at all, and the majority of Biden voters think Trump […]
Nonviolent revolution
The Wikipedia entry on nonviolent revolution. This is how it’s done. I wouldn’t necessarily endorse every revolution described in this, and I’m not opposed to violence as a matter of principle, but successful revolutions are those which are simply about withdrawing consent from the existing ruling class and […]
Exercise: What Would an Anarchist Program Look Like?
This is an interesting document. I would agree with many of the statements made in this, and much of the overall analysis that is provided. The ostensible goals may even be admirable in many ways. But this “program” would ultimately end up the same way as all “world transformative” […]
Lincoln Project EPICALLY FAILS As MORE Republicans Vote Trump
They didn’t “fail” if Biden wins. It may be true that the general public doesn’t care what a bunch of warmed-over Bushies think, but it doesn’t matter if they’re the ones pulling the strings. The goal of the Lincoln Project and other similar efforts was to create a […]
Are We In For Hellish ‘Bipartisan’ Consensus Under Biden?
To ask the question is to answer it. We are presently one state’s electoral votes away from a ruling class unity regime. The Bush and Obama regimes rolled into one.
November 3: D-Day in the War to End the War on Drugs
A slowdown of the “war on drugs” is always a good thing. As Knapp points out, the casualties of the drug war have probably reached Holocaust levels by now. Although as the drug war recedes, look for the state to identify new targets, which could be anything from […]
The Election Was a Tie. Now What?
By Ryan McMaken, Mises Institute Election Day 2020 finally arrived, and it looks like it’s going to be a long process before the official winner is finally determined. There will be lawsuits over which ballots will be counted. Both sides will be accused of fraud and of other misdeeds. […]
Dr Richard D Wolff Vs Dr David D Friedman | Socialism Vs Capitalism Debate
Two of the very best representatives of their respective positions debate. An oversimplification of my general view would be that Libertarians are right about the state and microeconomics. Marxists are right about macroeconomics and economic history. Some highlights: -Friedman sounds like he’s discussing economics but Wolff often sounds […]
What Will It Take for Americans to Consider Breaking Up?
I would point out that Jeff Deist, a supposed vocal proponent of secession, was actually opposed to CHAZ/CHOP, which probably indicates that many libertarians would oppose any form of secession that does not conform to bourgeois economic or behavioral norms, just as many left-wing anarchists oppose any kind […]
Remember the Great Thomas Naylor
I knew Tom. He was a big influence on the development of my thinking.
The Mafia Wars Continue
“The Republican Myth: Donald Trump and his supporters are Eliot Ness and the Untouchables, fighting valiantly (but ultimately unsuccessfully) to take down Al Capone and the Deep State Gang. The Democratic Myth: Joe Biden and his supporters are Frank J. Wilson and the Bureau of Internal Revenue, actually […]
Will The GOP Embrace Working Populism?
The GOP would be about as sincere in their populism as they are in their evangelical Christianity and pro-life views. Editor at American Affairs, Julius Krein, discusses President Trump’s win of unions in Ohio.
Director of People’s Action, George Goehl, reacts to how voters in rural America voted in the election.
Krystal and Saager are always hoping to be able to unite the working class around “populist” (welfarist and trade protectionist) issues. I don’t think that will happen. The culture war divisions are so deeply entrenched that there is no buying anyone’s way around them. Class divisions will become […]
Latest 2020 Battleground Election Results And What To Expect TODAY
The most important part of this is the evidence that the candidate that raises the most money is no longer the guaranteed winner. What I think that means is that cultural, ideology, and socioeconomic divisions are so wide that politicians can’t simply buy their way around these anymore. […]
How Will Dems Justify Loss With Blacks, Latinos?
It makes perfect sense that as US society becomes more diverse and integrated, more members of minority communities would regard civil rights/discrimination issues as less immediate concerns, and become more concerned about other issues related to the economy, culture/social mores/religion, environment, education, foreign policy, etc.
Trump sues in 3 states, laying ground for contesting outcome
Here it comes. At present, it looks like Dementia Man may win with literally the minimum number of electoral votes allowed. Orange Man is not likely to go away quietly. By Mark Sherman, Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — As Democrat Joe Biden inched closer to the 270 Electoral […]
