Nexus X HumectressBlack Marxist Adolph Reed DISINVITED By DSA For ‘Race Insensitivity’
The white middle-class do-gooders at DSA disown a black man who actually grew up under Jim Crow and is an accomplished Marxist academic.
U.S. intelligence report on Trump-Biden election meddling reveals who Russia, China and Iran want to win
US intelligence: “No matter which of these scumbags wins, it’s someone else’s fault. Our leaders are cretins because all these foreigners keep causing trouble. Our own ruling class couldn’t possibly be doing anything wrong.” By Kevin Breuninger CNBC Russia is trying to “undermine” presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden’s […]
Left vs Right is dead: Politics is about anarchists vs centrists, new CAGE study shows
This study is quite interesting, although the term “anarchist” is being used metaphorically to describe generically “anti-establishment” views. The “real enemy,” at least in developed countries, is the neoliberal center, which is why friends of neoliberal centrism keep fanning the flames of hysteria about the supposed rise of […]
U.S. Wars and Hostile Actions: A List
The most powerful state in the world is also the most violent and dangerous (big picture-wise). Gee, who would’ve thought? It’s not necessary to mislabel American power elites as fascists, communists, or any other cultic ideology that came out of the 19th and 20th centuries. The USA simply […]
Revolution and American Indians: “Marxism is as Alien to My Culture as Capitalism”
Marx actually referred to indigenous peoples like the Native Americans, Scottish highlanders, and Basques, along with hunter-gather societies and native tribes in the colonial era generally, as “non-historical peoples.” Russell Means’ autobiography is a great read. He writes about, among many other things, getting into armed confrontations with […]
‘They never went away’: reclaiming Indigenous names from a colonial past – a photo essay
The true test of whether an individual, movement, ideology, organization, or government is authentically anti-imperialist is their stance on indigenous peoples’ rights. Virtually every regime in the world, even the most liberal ones, have awful histories and policies on indigenous peoples’ issues. By Annette Ruzicka The Guardian
Aesthetics and Economics
The sentiment behind this image is well-taken although most people in “traditional” societies didn’t live in the manner depicted. Most people lived the way people in the least developed countries live today.
The Iron Fist vs the Helping Hand
Belarus – A U.S. Sponsored Color Revolution Is Underway
I’m sure most ATS readers are sophisticated enough to understand that legitimate popular rebellions against authoritarian regimes can take place, only to be turned into so-called “color-coded revolutions” hijacked by the imperial overlords and bent toward the overlords’ own purposes. This has happened in countries all over the […]

Trump Isn’t the Worst President, But He is the Most American
By Nicky Reid aka Comrade Hermit Exile in Happy Valley Donald Trump is the worst president in American History! That seems to be the downright unanimous opinion of every left wing wonk from here to Noam Chomsky, and I might have a bit more respect for the view […]
Stuart Christie, 1946-2020
The English anarchist who tried to assassinate Francisco Franco. There were actually factions on both sides of the Spanish Civil War for which I have some degree admiration, such as the anarchists on the Left and the Carlists on the Right. Although the anarchists could often be a […]
General Strike!
My general view of liberal and left welfarist proposals is pretty much the same as my view of conventional conservative and libertarian “tax cut” proposals. Medicare for All is not something I am going to go to the barricades for (whether in support or opposition) but I wouldn’t […]
Hannity: Bolshevik Bernie Is Controlling Biden’s Campaign!
What an idiot. At least Sean Hannity and Noam Chomsky finally agree on something, lol.
Unemployed Restaurant Worker CALLS OUT Ted Cruz Claims
Bars and restaurants are one of the largest sectors of the economy in terms of lower-level working-class employment.
Biden Won’t Support Emergency UBI $2k Per Month
“Let them eat cake.”
Wall Street breathes “sigh of relief” at Harris pick, report says
LOL. The banskers are happy with Princess Kamala.
2020 Dem platform: Radically transform the federal courts
I generally agree with Paul’s and Joseph’s argument that as soon as they get a comfortable enough electoral majority, the Democrats will likely move toward restructuring the electoral system in a way that will essentially allow them to maintain permanent victory, through methods like court-packing, increasing the size […]
Fascism Expert: Don’t Expect Trump To Leave WH, If He Loses
The problem with the perspective that is presented in this interview that it makes it sound like Trump is uniquely authoritarian compared to his predecessors. No one considers Eisenhower, whose administration organized a series of right-wing coups in other nations and whose immigration policies were far to the […]
SHOCK POLL: UBI support SKYROCKETS
It’s quite possible that “Medicare for All” and the UBI will be enacted eventually as class divisions continue to widen, and the ruling class is faced with popular rebellion and the rise of demagogic politicians from the left and right that make New Deal Democrat Sanders and Blue […]
Biden Reaffirms His Hatred Of Medicare For All
Okay, Tucker, Sean, Noam, Pakman. Here’s your revolutionary Marxist most progressive candidate ever, lol.
Rising Inflation Fears Transform Precious Metals Demand
By Mike Gleason, Money Metals Exchange As Joe Biden announced his VP pick, Wall Street’s hopes for a V-shaped economic recovery were revived by falling jobless claims and the S&P 500 inching closer to an all-time high. Precious metals markets, meanwhile, were hit with a big V for […]
New Sound Money Caucus Launched on Capitol Hill
Jp Cortez As the political and central banking establishment in Washington continues to bail out the economy and markets by creating trillions of unbacked pieces of paper and electronic digits, a handful of Congressmen hope to shine a new spotlight on the devastating effects of this runaway financial […]
Joe Biden Accused Of “Enforcing Sharia Law”
It is really is interesting how political polarization and culture-war politics have caused so many otherwise intelligent people to go completely off the deep end, whether Noam Chomsky from the Left or Ayaan Hirsi Ali on the Right. What the hell is wrong with these folks? Biden’s neoliberal […]
Chomsky: Biden Furthest Left Candidate on Climate Ever
This is just fucking sad. So Noam now agrees with Sean Hannity and Tucker Carlson that Biden is some kind of revolutionary Marxist? After the Democrats have gone out of their way to marginalize any semi-radical elements in their party? Joe is so “progressive” he doesn’t even support […]
How Liberals Turned On The Working Class
Today’s “liberalism” (neoliberalism) is the ideology of the ascendant sectors of the upper and upper-middle classes. Historian and author, Thomas Frank, discusses his new book, “The People, No: A Brief History of Anti-Populism.”
DOJ Finds Yale DISCRIMINATES Against White And Asian Students
Most people aren’t nuanced enough to recognize that systemic racism against black and brown people can exist in some sectors (like the economy and criminal justice), against white and Asian people in other sectors (like higher education) with both of these happening in the wider context of globalized […]
Rich Get RICHER In Depression & Working Class Suffers, Congress LEAVES FOR WEEKS
Prior to the pandemic, class divisions were already at a 100-year high. The pandemic has exercised an accelerationist effect and the ruling class continues with its “let them eat cake” attitude. The upper strata proletariat was already sinking fast, and the petite bourgeoisie is being decimated as well, […]
Bloomberg And DNC Line UP, What It Really Says About Democratic Party
The Democraps have gone out of their way to marginalize any “left” or “populist” elements within their own party while embracing Never Trump Republicans like Bloomberg and John Kasich. The ruling class is circling the wagons against mavericks from the left and right.
The Boogaloo Movement Is Not What You Think
This is a comment from an Antifa-oriented social media page: “I have a comrade who was monitoring the Boogaloo pages before they got taken down and said they were very pro-gay, pro-black, etc, just very accelerationist and anti cop. I cant wrap my head around it. They had […]
How Pan is your Pan-Secessionism?
This post from Anarchist News (and the discussion thread that follows) from a few months back is worth checking out. It is illustrative of something that I have been thinking would eventually happen in the “left” anarchist milieu. While many left-anarchists are clearly oriented toward the Maoist-influenced Antifa, […]
How ‘V for Vendetta’ predicted 2020 Pandemic, Civil unrest, 15 years ago
By Samantha Murray Almost 15 years have passed since V for Vendetta was released, but the movie’s version of 2020 still manages to reflect the real 2020. V for Vendetta takes place in a world that is of course much more grim than ours. In the film, the […]
Could There Be Another Civil War in America?
This is a good discussion. A key issue the speakers point out is that the military clearly does not back Trump and that military leaders obviously regard him as an incompetent moron and a nuisance. I would add that the Deep State has worked diligently with the media […]
Risk of a new civil war? Today ‘us and them’ differs from 1850s
This article is from 2018, before the recent uprising. By Peter Grier Christian Science Monitor A nation divided into groups of angry, polarized voters. Political parties splintering under the stress of social and ideological disagreements. Distrust in institutions. Constant partisan accusations. Widespread conspiracy theories about the perfidy of […]
The Rise of Anarcho-Neoconservatism?
It’s definitely interesting how the anarchist sector of the US far-left seems to be drifting towards an implicitly “pro-American” view of international relations in a way that overlaps with those of neocons and neoliberals, while the Marxist sector has drifted toward “pro-Eastern” views that ironically overlaps with the […]
‘I’m Not Scared’: She Faces Life in Prison After Allegedly Buying Red Protest Paint
By Kelly Weill The Daily Beast Madalena McNeil is accused of buying red paint before a protest. Under aggressive new criminal charges, it could mean she spends the rest of her life in prison. McNeil, 28, was among four people charged Tuesday for their alleged actions at a […]
An attempt to create “far left to neocon” pipeline?
This is an image from Alexander Reid-Ross’ website that purports to demonstrate how Russia (supposedly the epicenter of world fascism) manipulates and puppet masters the Western media. Notice how the journalistic outlets that are supposedly the purest in terms of being free from supposed Russian influence are neocon […]
Wokeness: old religion in a new bottle
There is something of an “evangelical to SJW pipeline.” By Joseph Bottom Spiked-Online Woke anti-racism certainly appears to have taken on the trappings of religion. White people have been seen washing the feet of black people and asking for forgiveness, a ritual firmly in line with the Christian […]
What’s Happening in Belarus?
Several things to watch here. Belarus is a corrupt authoritarian regime that is largely a leftover from the Soviet era when Belarus was one of the 15 Soviet republics. This is a genuine popular uprising just as the rebellion in Hong Kong against the efforts by China to […]
The real roots of early city states may rip up the textbooks
By Ben Collyer New Scientist THE emergence of state authority was a logical consequence of the move to settled agriculture, or so we thought. Until recently, we also assumed that ancient peoples welcomed the advantages of this way of life as well as the growth of state leadership, […]
The Southern Baptist Convention is going SJW. You read that correctly.
I first started noticing this ten years ago.
“Men Against the State” by James J. Martin
Another great classic in anarchist history. Available here. An acclaimed survey of 19th-century American anarchist and individualist thinkers, including Josiah Warren, Ezra Heywood, Lysander Spooner and Benjamin R. Tucker. This classic study by an outstanding libertarian-revisionist historian is valuable for an understanding of the intellectual pioneers of American […]
Why Social Justice is Dangerous – James Lindsay
This is definitely a must-watch. Lindsay calls out everyone in this: the Left, Right, Trump, etc. James is an atheist, a Scandinavian-style social democrat, and a cultural libertarian with a Ph.D. in mathematics. He points out how the “social justice” ideology is a three-headed hybrid of radical egalitarianism, […]
Israel-UAE peace deal a ‘major victory for US foreign policy’:
Obviously. The Atlanticist-Zionist-Wahhabi axis is strengthened.
Montel Williams: “I have great respect for Sen. Harris”
It’s quite obvious what Montel “respects” about Kamala. Inside Edition READ MORE
Trump announces peace deal between Israel, UAE
Imagine that. Donald’s love for these Middle Eastern scumbags is his worst weakness. Netanyahu, the butcher of Gaza who wants to push the US into a war with Iran, and Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, who literally keeps his own family members, including his daughter as prisoners.
Pence warns of what will happen to middle class during a Biden presidency
One thing that I actually with Mikey the Empty Suit Toady on is that the Biden-Harris ticket does symbolize the transition of the US economy to the present “California model”(neofeudalism ruled by tech-oligarchs and the new clerisy). The problem is that Mikey still clings to the failed supply-side […]
Anarchy: What It Is and Why Pop Culture Loves It
This article provides a decent overview of what left-anarchism is along with its history. I certainly consider the array of traditions that are described in this article to be legitimate forms of anarchism, although I would argue that there is no one singular anarchist tradition. Instead, there is […]
Kamala: Woke Capitalism’s Dream Pick
Kamala Harris largely symbolizes the transformation that is presently taking place in the entire Western world. The managerial revolution of the middle 20th century still functioned within the wider framework of the industrial capitalist mode of production and the bourgeois nation-state system. However, the present transformation involves a […]
