Nexus X HumectressI 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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Okay, Tucker, Sean, Noam, Pakman. Here’s your revolutionary Marxist most progressive candidate ever, lol.
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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.”
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 […]
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, […]
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.
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 […]
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, […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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, […]
I first started noticing this ten years ago.
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 […]
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, […]
Obviously. The Atlanticist-Zionist-Wahhabi axis is strengthened.
It’s quite obvious what Montel “respects” about Kamala. Inside Edition READ MORE
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.
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 […]
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 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 […]
SJWs, meet your counterparts. The best possible outcome to the present political conflicts would before for the Red Tribe, Blue Tribe, far-left, and far-right to have the collective effect of neutralizing each so that none of them are able to achieve very much. Let’s see some MS-13s or […]
It figures that a full-blown commie like Christian Parenti, son of US Marxist-Leninist godfather Mike Parenti, would be an admirer of Hamilton, and favor Hamilton over Jefferson. However, what Parenti is saying in this interview is what a genuine Marxist would say about economic history and the development […]
The problem is not so much Kamala Harris, Joe Biden, or the Democratic Party as much as the tens of millions of dumbasses who keep voting for these cretins over and over again for no apparent purpose like a hamster trapped in a spinning wheel. Just as Trump’s […]
Notice that “cancel culture” has impacted people on the left, right, and who are apolitical. In a society that has both the Internet and polarization driven by various teams of fanatics, what needs to happen is for the First Amendment to be extended to include corporations, social media, […]
These cases illustrate why Republicans are worthless even on 2nd Amendment issues. The laws under which all of these people were charged were made by Florida Republicans during the anti-crime hysteria of the 1990s. Over and over again, Republicans show that they are more interested in sucking off […]
Here is why “conservatives” are ultimately self-defeating on the gun control issue. Conservatives will infinitely claim fidelity to the 2nd Amendment, but they will turn around and favor mandatory minimums for any “unlawful” use of a firearm. So someone actually uses a firearm in self-defense, gets criminal charges, […]
One thing that many of my critics on the Left have failed to recognize is that the day will eventually come when the entire spectrum of “right-wing” opinion eventually realizes that there is no hope for using the conventional political system to “reclaim America” for “real Americans,” the […]
This is an article by the same guy who wrote the “Flight 93” article endorsing Trump in 2016. He is arguing for a Republican Party that combines social conservatism, economic populism-nationalism, and semi-isolationism, while engaging in outreach to minorities. Yeah, that will really fly with the Likudniks, plutocrats, […]
Whether or not people are actually oppressed may not be as important politically as whether they think they are oppressed. Some on the right have insisted that many of those involved in the recent uprising “aren’t really oppressed.” Maybe so, maybe not. But they have certainly acted as […]
My conflicts with the “politically correct” crowd began over 30 years ago when I was involved with a left-anarchist group that was in the process of drafting its manifesto. I noticed that their statement included little about anarchism or abolishing the state, but quite a bit about the […]
An advantage to an eventual Kamala Harris presidency might be that both the Left and the Right hate her, which will have the effect of delegitimizing the system.
Kim nails it.
Once again, the Babylon Bee remains one of the few serious journalistic outlets around today. Babylon Bee U.S.—The party that claims to represent minorities, the poor, the oppressed, and the marginalized has nominated an old, rich, white man and a cop, sources confirmed Tuesday. “If you want to […]
This article provides a pretty good overview of the actual role of ideology in higher education. Noam Chomsky created a minor stir sometime back when he argued that universities are actually “far-right” in reply to the usual complaints about universities being dominated by liberal and left ideologues. However, […]
The DHS is actually an umbrella organization for dozens of federal police state alphabet soup agencies, many of which existed in various forms prior to the creation of the DHS in 2002. The DHS was originally created to better coordinate the relationship between these agencies, and between the […]
This is a pretty good discussion of what real “police reform” would look like: end drug prohibition, end random traffic stops, end patrolling, end qualified immunity, allow communities to opt-out of relying on state security forces, etc. Unlike most right-libertarians, they also point out what is wrong with […]
By Chase Strangio Out Kamala Harris has spent her career building the carceral state. She is a skilled prosecutor, a believer in punishment and prisons, and has specifically targeted trans people and sex workers in the past five years. I believe that people can evolve but I don’t […]
It’s ironic that in the same year as massive anti-police riots and protests the Democrats, supposedly the “left” party, have a ticket that is arguably to the right of Trump/Pence on “criminal justice” issues. Laura Ingraham is about as sophisticated a political analyst as Alex Jones who generally […]
