Nexus X HumectressMost of the violence has probably been instigated by Antifa, right-wing extremists, ordinary criminals, sports rioter-types, and cops. But the real problem is not that too many police stations have burned but too few. By Sanya Mansoor Time The vast majority of Black Lives Matter protests—more than 93%—have […]
By Rukmini Callimachi New York Times LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Breonna Taylor had just done four overnight shifts at the hospital where she worked as an emergency room technician. To let off some steam, she and her boyfriend, Kenneth Walker, planned a date night: dinner at a steakhouse, followed […]
By Troy Southgate I am not in favour of political correctness, but changing the way we use certain terminology will occasionally have a more positive effect. Take the term ‘invalid,’ for example. Whilst the word has long been used to describe people who require some form of physical […]
One thing that is particularly concerning is the way that many critics of “wokeness” (totalitarian humanism, which is the manifestation of postmodern critical theory) have embraced Trumpism (e.g. this #Walkaway movement) or, even worse, drifted toward the neocons (like the circle around David Rubin). Of course, equally pathetic […]
Styx is regrettably demonstrating that he doesn’t know the first thing about the actual condition of the economy. We are currently experiencing the Latin Americanization of the US economy, and the economies of the developed world are experiencing re-feudalization. This a process that transcends ordinary partisan or ideological […]
Milquetoast social democrat David Pakman pumps up police state uber-bitch Kamala Harris merely because she knows how to talk, even if she’s telling lies every time she opens her mouth.
Trump is the epitome of the broken clock that happens to be right twice a day. It’s pathetic that ostensible “left-wingers” like The Young Turks are coming to the defense of the late warmonger John McCain.
This is a pretty good summary of where postmodern critical theorists stand in relation to the rest of the Left. By Helen Pluckrose I find it very odd when people keep telling me that “the left” is doing something bad with regard to wokeness and applied postmodernism when […]
This is a pretty good illustration of how industrial/managerial capitalism has undergone the transition to financial/digital capitalism. Benjamin Tucker demonstrated over century ago how to go about attacking all of this. Attack patent, copyright, and intellectual property law. Attack the currency monopoly and the centralization of control over […]
In other news, Americans also believe the grass is green and the sky is blue.
Build the Alliance of 100 Million! Boycott the System! Let’s give the power elite the Ceausescu treatment.
The Democrats are the party of the financial elites and tech-oligarchs, with the professional-managerial class and their primary constituents, and the Republicans of the part of old capitalism, with the with post-bourgeois proletariat (the dying working to middle classes) as their primary constituents. The kind of old-fashioned 19th/20th […]
As I have said many times, partisanship and/or culture war politics is merely a manufactured effort by the power elite to obfuscate any recognition of either class oppression or state repression. The conflicts over cultural and social questions are real in the sense of US society being divided […]
You don’t understand anarchist economics until you have read David Graeber and Kevin Carson. By Kevin Carson Center for a Stateless Society It’s conventional to start an obituary article with a brief biographical summary, so here it is.
Todd Lewis is joined by Keith Preston, Swithun Dobson, and Terminal Philosophy to discuss the 2020 US election. Will power be peacefully transferred or will the break down?
By Nicky Reid aka Comrade Hermit Exile in Happy Valley Joseph Biden killed the liberal social justice warrior with a cane that he twirled around his diamond ring finger at the Democratic National Convention in Milwaukee, and blue lives were called in to matter, and his weapon took […]
Tom Woods interviews James Lindsay. Academia, media, science, and technology are the new theocracy. Listen here. James Lindsay joins me to discuss postmodernism, critical theory, and the various fields — like “queer studies,” “disabled studies” and the like — that have made academia into a minefield of untouchable […]
Sad folks are people, too, dammit! BBC The owner of a hair salon was told she could not run a job advert for a “happy” stylist as it “discriminated against unhappy people”.
By David Davis Well, he probably didn’t “enslave” more than, I’d guess, about 25,000 to 35,000. I’d take guidance from Dr. Sean Gabb, of The Centre For Ancient Studies here, on this historical matter here. It would have been beyond the manpower resources of his deployed legions in […]
By Edward Feser We are hostages to the clerics of an intolerant faith. As our nation finds itself wracked by violence and threatened with regime failure, questions of authority become ever more urgent. We believe authority in a free society rests with the people and their representatives, and […]
This commentary relates to the article that is adjacent to this one concerning “New Age Nazis.” By Adam Ormes For the most part, this is a hideously shallow analysis, written by someone who appears to identify with the bankrupt position of liberal centrism. But even so, the author […]
By Jules Evans Medium A protestor at the anti-lockdown rally in Berlin last month, making a heart sign while carrying a Nazi flag Last week, there were rallies in London, Berlin and LA against lockdown measures, and what was noticeable was they attracted both New Agers and far-right […]
What Can We Learn From Cuba? By Don Fitz As a coup de grâce to the Bernie Sanders campaign Joe Biden declared that he would veto Medicare-for-All. This could drive a dedicated health care advocate to relentlessly pursue Med-4-All as a final goal. However, it is not the […]
Bad idea. Taking the electoral system seriously is part of the problem, not part of the solution.
One thing that I have found interesting about the pandemic is the way that so many anarchists have acquiesced to the supposed authority and expertise of scientism or the white coat priesthood, or passively accepted media narratives. In others words, they have simply deferred to the authority of […]
Because the Democraps are the party of the techno-oligarch sector of neoliberal “woke” state-capitalism, just as the Republicans are the party of fossil fuels and “old capitalism,” and the social democrats pushing ideas like the “Green New Deal” are the party of “progressive-capitalism.”
My recent interview with Pete Quinones. Keith Preston is the proprietor of AttackTheSystem.com and an expert on the history of anarchism. Keith talks about his path to anarchism, some anarchist history and then discusses any hope for liberty and anarchism in the age of CV19 and mass rioting. […]
No matter who wins, the other side will likely claim the winner cheated, with endless legal maneuvering and probable violence being the result.
Team Rising reacts to recent allegations of Trump belittling fallen soldiers, and polling revealing who most service members are supporting.
The therapeutic police state. By Christian Britschgi, Reason New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) said on a press call today that he would not allow indoor dining to return in New York City unless local politicians devoted significant police resources to enforcing social distancing and other reopening conditions. […]
The modern ruling class doesn’t bother with state-imposed censorship and instead farms it out to corporations, social media companies, and universities, which is why the First Amendment needs to be expanded to include all of these institutions. It’s the same as when they don’t bother setting up a […]
At least if it’s true.
For some time, I have thought that The American Conservative is the most “left-wing” of any mainstream US publication. TAC is a lot closer to Dorothy Day and Peter Maurin or even Dwight McDonald, Gore Vidal, and Normal Mailer than the FOX News creeps. Most formally “liberal” or […]
The neocons’ Iranian MEK allies, an Islamo-Marxist cult, create fake journalists who publish opinion pieces calling for war with Iran. By Paul Brian and Arthur Bloom The American Conservative There is at least one more foreign policy opinion writer from the Mujahideen-eKhalq (MEK) whose existence is dubious, based […]
Are we reliving Weimar…or Bleeding Kansas? By Matt Purple The American Conservative There’s a scene in Christopher Isherwood’s novel Goodbye to Berlin where the author goes to visit Bernhard Landauer, the owner of a prosperous department store in Germany. The year is 1933 and Bernhard shows Christopher a vicious […]
Remember that Commies have always denounced anarchists as “petite bourgeoisie.” By Will Collins The American Conservative It’s been a brutal year for locally owned shops and restaurants. The COVID-19 outbreak and the accompanying lockdowns shuttered storefronts and exiled customers. Pandemic relief efforts aimed at small businesses were ruthlessly […]
From what I can tell, there is literally no one in any of the factions of US politics that has the slightest interest in anti-authoritarian values of any kind, except for isolated individuals. Obviously, this is true of the ruling class parties, but it is apparent enough that […]
When looking at alternative political models, the one that I keep coming back to is ancient Greece. Many anarchists will cite models like communes that only existed in isolated enclaves for brief periods, as opposed to systems like the Greek cities, the Holy Roman Empire, the Ottoman millet […]
This is like a hilarious replay of the J. Edgar Hoover vs. the Black Panthers battles of the 60s. Fat Billy goes full J. Edna. Ironically, I don’t disagree with some of his criticisms of the “Left” (broadly defined) even if he is a scumbag who was behind […]
I’m curious to see how these People’s Party advocates think they are going to get around the financial and legal limitations on upstart parties, or why they think their party is going to perform any better than other minor parties. The only way the People’s Party could become […]
I’ve been developing a theory that Trump is actually a crypto-anarchist who is actually doing his part for the cause by making the state look ridiculous. And now this. This is priceless. When McCain died, in August 2018, Trump told his senior staff, according to three sources with […]
Africa in the pre-European, pre-Arabic era.
So what? Why can’t “transracial” be a thing? The solution to both homogenized globalization (McDonaldization of the world) and authoritarian multiculturalism is actual diversity. Diversity not only on steroids but on crystal meth. By J. Edward Moreno The Hill Jessica Krug, a professor of African American history at […]
By Jon Passantino, Bob Ortega and Majlie de Puy Kamp, CNN (CNN)A Portland man who was killed Thursday night while authorities attempted to apprehend him appeared to admit he was responsible for the fatal shooting of a supporter of a right-wing group during clashes between pro-Trump groups and […]
By VICE News Ever since a member of the right-wing “Patriot Prayer” group was shot and killed during a violent rally in downtown Portland August 29, the police investigation has reportedly focused on 48-year-old Michael Forest Reinoehl, an Army veteran and father of two who has provided what […]
By J. P. Cortez Charlotte, North Carolina (September 3, 2020) – A national precious-metals dealer has teamed up with a sound money policy group to help students pay for the ever-increasing costs of college. Money Metals Exchange has joined with the Sound Money Defense League to offer the […]
As the saying goes, you can judge a person by their enemies. By Adi Callai Mondoweiss Trump says the rebellion against police and white supremacy is led by “professional anarchists.” Netanyahu parrots Trump like a ventriloquist’s dummy, saying protesters against him are “anarchists, not victims of the pandemic.” […]
If only it were true. We need many CHAZs, and for the CHAZs to become Cherons, and for the Cherons to become MAREZs, and for the MAREZs to become Rojavas, and for the Rojavas to become Hezbollahs. By Matthew Choi Politico President Donald Trump ordered a review of […]
