Tipper Gore’s Revenge?

What do Trumpists, Alt-Rightists, Jacobin magazine, and Brett Weinstein all have in common? They’re all considered to be enemies of the techno-oligarch/new clerisy rising ruling class, and they’ve all been banned by certain powers that be. Jacobin is pro the “pink tide” movements in Latin America so that […]

The WASP Roots of the Social Justice Movement

I am skeptical as to whether “social justice” fundamentalism could have developed outside of the context of WASP culture. And “totalitarian humanism” generally seems to be the most heavily entrenched in historically Protestant countries (the Anglosphere, Germany, the “Lowlands,” and Scandinavia). It seems to be a substitute for […]

White Noise: Inside the Racist Right

The Atlantic has a documentary out on the Alt-Right. This looks interesting, and many of the criticisms of the Alt-Right that are probably expressed in this are obviously justified, though much of it looks to be the standard right-wingophobia porn. The Project Veritas of the neoliberals. “White Noise” […]

Do Not Vote!

The Ax, National Reformation The problem Once again, the quadrennial dog and pony show under the rubric of “elections” rolls out 3 November 2020 demonstrating the fraud of democracy. It is fraudulent because to work as intended, democracy assumes the equal ability of the voters to make decisions. […]

No Really, What is Anarchism?

There is no one “anarchism.” There are many anarchisms, quasi-anarchisms, semi-anarchisms, proto-anarchisms, tactical anarchisms, situational anarchists, philosophical anarchisms, implicit anarchisms, anarchist cousins, etc. etc, etc. By Eric Fleischmann The terms ‘anarchist’ and ‘anarchism’ are returning to the center stage of political lingo in the twenty-first century. To quote my […]

Kant, the Old Racist

I can’t say I really have a problem with canceling Kant. If religion is the opium of the masses, then philosophical idealism, moral realism, and deontological ethics are the opium of the intellectuals. By Norbert Bolz, TELOS The art of scandalizing is inexhaustible. In Kant’s Anthropology, there are […]

America in Line

Poor lost souls. This is pathetic. “If I die tomorrow, I did my duty.” Washington Post Long before Election Day, voters across the country have been lining up to cast their ballots. We sent teams of reporters and photographers to six cities — Houston, Albuquerque, Chattanooga, Sarasota, Atlanta […]

Anarchism Without Adjectives

Interestingly, Carson may despise me personally but he seems to agree with me on most substantive topics. I could have written this myself. Most of what Carson says in this essay from 2015 directly contradicts his public embrace of the totalitarian humanist paradigm. By Kevin Carson, Center for […]

Farewell to Yesterday

By Norbert Bolz, TELOS Nietzsche once said that culture was only a thin apple peel over a glowing hot chaos. That is probably to say that even a small shock suffices to confront us anew with barbarism and dizzying stupidity. And now we are actually dealing with a […]

Anarchism and the politics of utopia

By Ruth Kinna There is a curious paradox at the heart of contemporary debates about the relationship between utopian and anarchist studies. While anarchistic ideas have gained some purchase in utopian studies, there is a strong anti-utopian trend in modern anarchism. What is puzzling about this paradox is […]

What is “Municipalism”?

Municipalism.Org The definition of “municipalism” is still up for grabs. If you Google the word you’ll be given a snippet from Wikipedia about “libertarian municipalism”,  a compelling but very specific utopian political philosophy of Murray Bookchin. Surely “municipalism” can and should mean something more. Over the last fifty years, the percentage of people around the globe living […]

Critical Race Theory

Poor Chick-fil-A. Hated by Left and Right alike. And neither one pays much attention to the fact that Chick-fil-A is just another fast-food plantation. “Sometimes this was literal: showing that critical race theory had conquered him, the head of Chick-fil-a said every white man should shine a black […]
