Smash the Oligarchy

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 Anarchist Case for Small Business

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 […]

Greek City-States

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 […]

The recently deceased Marxist YouTuber Michael Brooks argued that the global capitalist class seems to be experimenting with different political models, including conservative nationalism (Orban, Bolsonaro, Erdogan, Salvini, Putin, Xi, Duterte, Trump), technocratic neoliberalism (the dominant model […]

Map of Europe’s Tribes (52 BC)
