Nexus X HumectressDrug Overdoses Reach RECORD Highs In Mark Of A Very Sick Nation
Sorry, Trick Dicky and Ronnie Raygun. Your war on drugs is over, and drugs won.
Michael Brooks on Defending History
This is an interesting discussion of the Intellectual Dark Web from a Jacobin left perspective. The fundamental flaw in Michael Brooks’ thinking is his view that you can have a massive welfare and regulatory state without having a parallel military, police, and prison state. Of course, these kinds […]
I was a 60s socialist. Today’s progressives are in danger of repeating our mistakes.
By John B. Judis Washington Post In January 1969, Tom Hayden, a founder of the radical Students for a Democratic Society and a leader of the antiwar movement, came to speak at the University of California at Santa Cruz, on behalf of the SDS chapter where I was […]
Interview: Aleksey Bashtavenko on Russia
Todd Lewis is joined by Keith Preston to interview Aleksey Bashtavenko, a Russian expatriate about his thoughts on Russia and global politics. A great critique of American culture and politics is contained in this, along with an examination of the retrograde character of Bolshevism and a debunking of […]
Bret Weinstein’s DarkHorse Podcast – Black Intellectual Roundtable
This is a great discussion.
Coming Economic Crash Will be WORSE Than Great Depression
A couple of years ago, a long time ATS reader suggested to me that in the future the basis of class struggle in the US would not be about wages, hours, and conditions as it was with the historic labor movement, but that it would instead be about […]
Bari Weiss RESIGNS From The New York Times, Is She A Hypocrite?
This segment indirectly raises the important point that some opponents of PC/wokeness/cancel culture, from both the right and sectors of the left, always make exceptions for their favorite issues or causes, whether it’s supporting Israel or opposing burning the flag.
Without Government, Who Will Create the Corporations?
An inadequate understanding of what the state actually is and how the ruling class is actually structured is probably the greatest weakness in present-day anarchist, libertarian, and other radical thought. Most tendencies only criticize the sectors or levels of the state, ruling class, or power elite that they […]
“Vote Red, No Matter Who…”?
This is hilarious. Hannity tries to portray Biden as some kind of revolutionary Marxist as opposed to the moderate Republican he essentially is, just like liberal opinion portrays Trump as Mussolini as opposed to the Blue Dog Democrat he essentially is. What is most interesting is how so […]
Why it’s impossible to calculate the percentage of police shootings that are legitimate
Radley Balko is probably the best mainstream writer on the subject of police misconduct there is. According to Balko’s estimation (as well as my own), there are probably several hundred killings of civilians by police every year in the US that could not reasonably be considered “justified” in […]
Phoenix woman’s brutal police assault shown on body-camera footage
“But I was only following orders…”
What Would A Compassionate State Look Like?
This is one of those “don’t know whether to laugh or cry” headlines. As is often the case with the Marxists and others from the “far-left”, I agree with many of their criticisms of the system as it stands, while thinking their “solutions” are ridiculous. These guys actually […]
White House Calls for Americans to “Find Another Job” While Execs Receive Millions in Bankruptcy
The US ruling class is increasingly resembling the ruling classes of pre-revolutionary France or pre-revolutionary Russia. “Let them eat cake” is an attitude that usually doesn’t result in a happy ending for those who assume such an attitude.
Looming evictions may soon make 28 million homeless in U.S., expert says
By Annie Nova CNBC Emily Benfer began her career representing homeless families in Washington, D.C. Her first case involved a family that had been evicted after complaining to their landlord about the holes in their roof. One of the times she met with the family, one of the children, […]

China Forms Strategic Alliance w/ Iran, Validating US Imperial Decline
The provinces are rebelling.
Potential Israeli Strike On Iranian Nuclear Facility Could Be Pushing Us To WAR
The worst aspect of Trump’s foreign policy has been the escalation of hostilities with Iran and the kowtowing to Israel and Saudia Arabia.
Biden Getting Old ‘Militaristic’ Obama Foreign Policy Team Back Together
Imagine that. The Bidenists are planning to move to the right of Trump on most foreign policy and trade issues.
Anarchists of America: Disband!
End the State…But Who, What, When, Where, Why, and How?
A problem with this meme is that there is no consensus among hyphenated anarchists on what the state actually is, what ending the state would actually mean, how the state would be ended, why the state should be ended, or whether ending the state should even be a […]
American Secession: The Looming Threat of a National Breakup
Available from Amazon. Americans have never been more divided, and we’re ripe for a breakup. The bitter partisan animosities, the legislative gridlock, the growing acceptance of violence in the name of political virtue—it all invites us to think that we’d be happier were we two different countries. In […]
It’s Time to Abolish Single-Family Zoning
A while back someone asked me what one single wedge issue policy proposal might be that would have the effect of advancing class struggle. The answer to that is astoundingly simple and obvious. If you want to ignite a real class-war, then start agitating for the abolition of […]
Tucker: Biden & Dems Want To “Abolish The Suburbs”
Carlson seems to have abandoned whatever populism he ever had in favor of culture war hysteria since the uprising. Centrist Democrats ARE the suburbs, at least in the larger metro areas.
Class Struggle Anarchism – An Interview with Wayne Price
A somewhat interesting interview with a veteran anarcho-communist. By Kent Worchester Anarchist Studies Introduction Wayne Price is a longtime anti-authoritarian political activist. He was drawn toward pacifism and anarchism as a teenager in the 1950s, and he participated in the anti-Vietnam War movement during the 1960s and early […]
Anarcho-Synergism: A New Tendency?
From the Anarcho-Synergy Ball project: Anarcho synergism is a synergistic union of market economies and gift economies via mutual respect for freedom of association. More specifically, how anarcho-synergism works is by using a system of labor unions, competitive consumer unions, and communes to create as much competition in […]
The Great Awokening of Leftoid-Whitey
These are interesting and somewhat bizarre results from a CNN poll that was taken five years ago. “The Great Awokening of 2006 (overly) simplified into one graph. Note the close (if not absolute) correlation with the economic crisis. Leftoid-Whitey becomes histrionic; most others don’t care.” -Bellamy Fitzpatrick […]
US Federal forces sent to cities to police and protect monuments
This is an unfortunate illustration of why the outbreak of statuephobia was a tactical error. It had the effect of provoking an expanded police state response from the feds who have since murdered a protestor in Portland. Additionally, it is likely to push the cultural right (which has […]
The West Has a Resentment Epidemic
On the urban vs. rural divided throughout the West. By Roberto Stefan Foa and Jonathan Wilmot Foreign Policy In 2014, the Hill newspaper rated Minnesota the second-most-liberal U.S. state. For decades, Minnesotans had reliably supported Democrats in the House, in the Senate, and for the presidency—in Ronald Reagan’s […]
Sleepy Joe Napped His Way To Colossal Polling Lead, Way Beyond 2016
The main question I have about this is about the degree to which these numbers are fake. It makes sense that Trump would be trailing because of the pandemic, depression, uprising, and because Trump is Trump. But power elite opinion is overwhelmingly pro-Biden so who knows how accurate […]
TIME BOMB: 32% Of Households Missed July Payments
People will put up with a lot, but when there is no more food and shelter, the shit is going to hit the fan. These are “Third World” economic conditions. A class sector without housing or jobs is not a proletariat, it is a lumpenproletariat. A society with […]
No, if Biden Wins the Election, it Won’t “Destroy America”
Bidenism will be about marginalizing the Trumpists, co-opting the Left, and strengthening repression, while consolidating the position of the neoliberal/neoconservative ruling class. Styx greatly underestimates how serious the economic situation is. He’s listening to too much ruling class propaganda about how well the stock market is doing.
Trump Tells Minnesota to Take Care Its Own Leftist Rioter Problem, Refuses to Send Money
Excellent. Conflicts between the states and the feds are always welcome.
Fmr Ghislaine Maxwell Assoc. Says She Has Sex Tapes Of Politicians With Minors
Ghislaine Maxwell Is On Suicide Watch- Is She About To Be “Epsteined”?
Homeowner who pulled gun on protesters: I was a victim of a mob
Chris Cuomo interviews the pink-shirted rifle guy. What is most interesting is to compare this interview with Cuomo with the Carlson interview and observe how Red Tribe and Blue Tribe really do live in two different realities and regard each other as existential enemies. An authentic anti-state, anti-ruling […]
Tucker Carlson Interviews Mark McCloskey
Carlson has another interview with the “Straight Outta Applebee’s” guy. If the revolutionary “far-left” was tactically shrewd, they would come out in opposition to any arrest or legal prosecution of this guy on “we’re against the pigs no matter who they come after” grounds, or “we’re for the […]
28 Companies That Have Filed for Bankruptcy Since the Pandemic Began — and 13 That Could Be Next
One of the most interesting aspects of the present state-induced depression is that in addition to the fact that 1 in 3 ordinary Americans are now half an inch away from homelessness, even medium level-sectors of the capitalist class are collapsing as well while the upper strata of […]
Protest in Pennsylvania after cop uses knee to restrain man
Some folks have to learn the hard way, I guess. Perhaps police departments should realize eliminating applicants for having too high an IQ wasn’t a good plan. By Michael Rubinkam Associated Press ALLENTOWN, Pa. — Activists against police brutality expressed outrage and demanded accountability Monday after video emerged […]
2 slain police officers ‘never had a chance’ in Texas shooting, chief says
It would be tactically advantageous for leaders and organizations within the protest movement to openly memorialize cops who experience “line of duty” deaths in situations like this. Whether such sentiments would be sincere or not is beside the point. Psywar is crucial in the advancement of fourth-generation warfare […]
Indiana woman shot dead after saying ‘all lives matter’: family
When things like this happen, opinion leaders among BLM need to immediately denounce such incidents and characterize responsible parties as rogue elements that are unrepresentative of the movement. At least that would be the smart way to do it. Incidents like this will escalate fourth-generation warfare among tribes. […]
Federal Officers Shoot Portland Protester In Head With ‘Less Lethal’ Munitions
Smart tacticians from the Left could exploit this issue to fuel hostility to the feds among liberal and left opinion, and in a way that also wins sympathy from the anti-establishment Right who see the feds as the folks who are going to take their guns and massacre […]
Will the Right-Wing Launch a Counter-Offensive?
This article, by no less than leading fourth-generation warfare theorist and paleoconservative strategist Bill Lind, is a perfect example of why I have been telling the Left that making every problem into a cultural/racial/tribal civil war is a remarkably bad idea. Some people on the cultural right are […]
Zaid Jilani FORCEFULLY Rebuts Counter-Cancel Culture Speech Letter
Journalist Zaid Jilani gives his take on the growing backlash over a letter defending free speech. Published in Harper’s Magazine, the document was signed by more than 150 writers, journalists, academics and artists.
The Breakdown of the Dissident Right
Todd Lewis is joined by Right Ruminations, Keith Preston, and Swithun Dobson to discuss the decline of the alt-right.
Shock Poll Shows Why Trump Is COOKED In Sunbelt States
It will be hilarious if a literal dementia/early-stage Alzheimer’s patient wins the presidency by a landslide.
Fox News CALLS OUT Betsy Devos Attack On School Funding
The right-wing of the ruling class is fracturing. The neoliberal/neocon right clearly wants to purge the Trumpist insurgency within their own class.
Antifa Punks and Boogaloo Bois: A Tale of Two Scapegoats
By Nicky Reid aka Comrade Hermit Exile in Happy Valley It was the kind of story that always seems to fly just beneath the radar. You probably missed it. I nearly did. Somewhere between the Pride parades and the Fourth of July, while the country was busy hyperventilating […]
What happens when anarchists run a country? History has an answer.
By Scotty Hendricks Big Think When most people hear the word “anarchy”, they think of chaos. It brings to mind images of gangs fighting in the streets, looting and rioting, without a police force to help end the madness. It can be hard to grasp why anybody would […]
How a History Textbook Would Describe 2020 So Far
And there is still six more months to go! By James West Davidson History never ends. But history textbooks must. As deadlines for new editions loom, every textbook writer lurches to a sudden stop. The last chapter always ends in uncertainty: unfinished and unresolved. I’ve experienced this many […]
