Nexus X HumectressThe more I study US political history in the 20th century, the more I come to the view that Antony Sutton was correct that the rise of communism and fascism internationally was made possible only with the assistance of Western capitalism. And the more I come to the […]
One of the problems with “movement conservatism” of the Buckley-Goldwater-Reagan axis was that it was never anything more than a means of providing ideological cover for the military-industrial-complex and American empire-builders, which is why the isolationists have always been the main group that has been unwelcome in “conservative” […]
Notice that the Voice of the CIA/Deep State/Bezos is arguing that the problem with Trump is that he is a bad manager of the state and the empire, which somehow imperials “democracy” (the official euphemism for domestic oligarchic rule and global imperialism). In other words, what they actually […]
Another fourth-generation warfare incident? ABC News A California woman has been charged with attempted murder after driving through a group of dueling protesters during a “Caravan for Justice” event Saturday afternoon. The dueling protests held in Yorba Linda, about 35 miles east of Los Angeles, quickly boiled over […]
I don’t consider myself to be a “progressive.” My outlook transcends the progressive/reactionary and/or socialism/capitalism false dichotomies. But Kim is always such a refreshingly rational and lucid commentator. This analysis is spot on. The main disagreement that I have with Kim is the same one that I have […]
Another faction fight in the brewing civil war? By Nicole Acevedo NBC News An Iowa gathering of over 100 people from motorcycle clubs turned deadly early Saturday morning with a shooting that killed at least one person and left several others wounded. Police in Waterloo, a city about […]
All the constitutional views of someone like Barrett really mean is that the states should have more prerogative to make laws as opposed to the feds. Not exactly the Enabling Act. Although these conservative jurists are often too deferent to the executive on a federal level, and obviously […]
Combat American-style. By Joshua Bote, Matt Mencarini and N’dea Yancey-Bragg USA TODAY NETWORK LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Protesters demanding justice for Breonna Taylor continued to flood cities throughout the United States, three days after a grand jury declined to indict three officers directly connected to Taylor’s death. In Louisville, 22 […]
One point that I have consistently tried to make is that “anarchism” is not merely something that was dreamed up by Enlightenment philosophers or 19th-century radicals. While it wasn’t until Proudhon that people started calling themselves “anarchist” (Joseph Dejacque was the first to use the term “libertarian”), there […]
You mean “conspiracy theories” like believing in some mythical “social contract,” or in the benevolence of the state, or that the United States is a “democracy,” or that the endless wars waged by the USA are for “freedom” or “human rights,” or that the police are there to […]
Some more fourth-generation war. A civil war in the modern United States would be one of history’s biggest messes. It would be like the Lebanese civil war in the 1970s and 1980s with dozens of factions pitted against each other, only it would be worse because a large […]
The anti-jerk off club named after a Disney character goes to Portland, presumably to get into a fight with Antifa. What could possibly go wrong? My advice to anyone interested in dissident politics is to avoid either participating in these groups or getting into confrontations with them. Protest […]
Yep. The great thing about the Trump presidency is that The Donald portrays the state as it ought to be portrayed, as the “mafia with a flag.”
So, in other words, Jews are just like everyone else. Fair enough.
“Conservatards” probably jerk off to her pictures. Although at least she’s more attractive than RBG (but what isn’t?) By Elizabeth Dias and Adam Liptak New York Times This article has been revised to reflect the following correction: An earlier version of this article, based on the recollection of […]
A martyr for liberty or just a dumbass who was endangering public health? Or both? This dude is 42 and looks like he’s 62. I’m generally of the opinion that a core principle of anarchism must necessarily be tolerance for stupid people. Otherwise, what objection would there be […]
The late Norman Mailer’s idea of devolving power to the individual neighborhoods in NYC might be a prototype for an “anarchist” New York City. By Maeve Higgins New York Times Right after I learned that the Department of Justice this week designated New York City an “anarchist jurisdiction,” […]
By Jennifer Steinhauer and Helene Cooper New York Times WASHINGTON — Senior Pentagon leaders have a lot to worry about — Afghanistan, Russia, Iraq, Syria, Iran, China, Somalia, the Korean Peninsula. But chief among those concerns is whether their commander in chief might order American troops into any […]
They don’t get called “pigs” for nothing.
Carl Schmitt, whom I have written about extensively in the past, is very relevant to things that are going on now.
By Karen Attiah Washington Post After the novel coronavirus first appeared in Africa in late February, Ghana’s government decided it would take no chances. Ghanaian citizens were soon put under lockdown, and travel between major cities was banned. Then President Nana Akufo-Addo announced the closure of the country’s […]
I am something of a Stoic. Zeno, the founder of Stoicism, was the first Western proto-anarchist that we know of. By Maria Popova Brain Pickings
Ben Carson is proof that brain surgeons are not necessarily multi-layered or multi-dimensional intellects.
As usual, Krystal and Saager have some pretty good economic/class analysis in a way that’s limited to a mainstream, reformist-statist perspective.
Some more fourth-generation warfare? Tom Batchelor Newsweek Video of a police officer being forcefully struck on the back of the head with a baseball bat has attracted national attention after protests swept across the U.S. in the wake of the verdict in the Breonna Taylor case. The clip […]
Fourth-generation warfare? ABC News A pickup truck hit a protester Thursday night in Hollywood, California, and moments later a second vehicle hit a car participating in the same protest as it tried to leave the area, according to the Los Angeles Police Department. The “largely peaceful” group of […]
“Can’t we all just get along?” Where have we heard that before?
Krystal has a pretty good analysis of Trump in this.
The Third Worldization of the US economy continues.
More and more people are realizing the futility of trying to work “within the system.”
This data is very interesting. People of all races generally reject race war politics and embrace class war politics, albeit is a rather moderate form.
At the beginning of this segment, Krystal refers to Hillary Clinton as “Hitlerly.”
We anarchists must necessarily work to oppose all governments everywhere while at the same time opposing overarching systems of imperialism. The way we do that is through building global networks of oppositional subcultures predicated on the principle of self-determination and voluntary association for all. By Rich Edson FOX […]
The leader of a backwater but upstart province in the global capitalist empire seeks the favor of the chattering classes of the developed world. By Zack Colman Politico President Xi Jinping pledged on Tuesday that China would reach its peak emissions ahead of its 2030 goal and achieve […]
In an ideal world, protestors would not only be looting Wal-Mart and burning down police precincts, but they would be burning down the Saudi embassy as well. Most Americans have probably never even heard of Yemen or know that there is such a place. By Doug Bandow The […]
By Barton Gellman The Atlantic There is a cohort of close observers of our presidential elections, scholars and lawyers and political strategists, who find themselves in the uneasy position of intelligence analysts in the months before 9/11. As November 3 approaches, their screens are blinking red, alight with […]
By Mike Mullen City Pages The police and fire departments of Brooklyn Center are investigating a garage fire that started early Thursday morning as potentially politically motivated. A three-car garage and three vehicles inside were destroyed, and firefighters saved “three dogs and five puppies” from inside the home […]
Would it be accurate to say that a low-intensity civil war is no underway? Reuters LOUISVILLE, Kentucky, Sept 23 (Reuters) – Two police officers were shot and wounded late on Wednesday in Louisville, Kentucky, during protests ignited by a grand jury decision that civil rights activists decried as […]
If this Brett Hankison dude was a civilian, I’m pretty sure he would have had more serious charges brought against him. One set of laws for the king’s knights, another set of laws for everyone else. By Minyvonne Burke and Tim Stelloh NBC News One of the police […]
And another round begins… Richmond.Com Louisville police say an officer has been shot amid protests over a lack of direct criminal charges for officers in Breonna Taylor’s shooting death. The statement did not elaborate on the condition of the officer or the circumstances of the shooting. That development […]
As Tom Woods says, no matter who gets elected, you always end up with John McCain, even posthumously. Elect Bill Clinton, get a war in Kosovo and Haiti. Elect George W Bush, get a war in Iraq and Afghanistan. Elect Barack Obama, get a war in Libya and […]
Now that liberals increasingly hold cultural power, they have become proponents of judicial restraint and rule by legislative majorities while conservatives appear to increasingly favor judicial activism, something they spent decades denouncing. As Matt Karp points out, there are plenty of precedents for Presidents simply ignoring the Supreme […]
This commentary is pretty good.
Try to guess the political identity of the person who said this. I got a message for all you liberals out there: You want my gun? My firearm? Come take it from me. Just walk through my door, come into my home, and take it from me with […]

By Frank Martela Philosophy Now If you had everything else you wanted but your life lacked meaning, would it still be worth living? For the rich Russian count Leo Tolstoy (1828-1910), the towering author of such classics as War and Peace and Anna Karenina, this was not a […]
By Hannah Murphy Financial Times Facebook has said it will take aggressive and exceptional measures to “restrict the circulation of content” on its platform if November’s presidential election descends into chaos or violent civic unrest. In an interview with the Financial Times, Nick Clegg, the company’s head of […]
By Talla Lavin Curbed It was surprising news to the some 8 million New Yorkers who awoke yesterday, the last day of summer, to find that, according to the federal government, we were all living in an “anarchist jurisdiction.” Across the city, the leaves on curbside trees were […]
The cop who realized he was really working for organized crime. Tom Gissler as told to Laura Thompson Mother Jones “It dawned on me that the entire system, the entire thing, was just a shitty mafia system.” Three years in, I had basically arrived—I had been transferred to […]
The WaPo, the voice of the CIA/Bezos axis, is more or less advocating that the Democrats use David Faris’ suggestions to create a one-party state like Mexico’s Institutional Revolutionary Party during most of the 20th century. I suspect that if the “right-wing” were completely shut out of any […]
