Noam Chomsky’s New Biden Pitch ‘Your Feelings Are Irrelevant’
Shit. Just when I thought Noam had redeemed himself. What about Libya and Syria, Noam?

Heel vs. Heel matches are always the best.
What I find interesting about this Oprah/Cruz confrontation is that it is an intra-ruling class and intra-minority dispute. An African-American billionaire and media mogul taking the cliched SJW line vs a Hispanic Senator and representative of “Conservatism, Inc.” taking the cliched right-wing line. By Morgan Gstalter The Hill […]
A classic work featuring essays by ex-Communists that was originally published in the 1950s. Today’s totalitarian humanists are going to produce a whole new generation of “god that failed” types and already appears to be doing so. The danger is that they will go the Sidney Hook, Frank […]
Former SJWs are interviewed by Gavin McInness. What I find most interesting about this is how closely it resembles the various atheist podcasts featuring former religious fundamentalists and cult members talking about how they “walked away.” In fact, years ago, there was a newsletter for former evangelicals called […]
This is an excellent interview. Chomsky really puts the phenomenon of Trumpism in context in this interview. In recent years, Chomsky has at times gone off the deep end with hyperbolic comments but he doesn’t drop the ball in this one. It is good to hear Chomsky distinguishing […]
By Janet Biehl Komun Academy February 3-5, 2012, a a conference was organized in Hamburg, Germany. The theme was “Challenging Capitalist Modernity: Alternative concepts and the Kurdish Question.” The following text was delivered as a speech to the conference. The speeches have been published as a book as well.
On this day 75 years ago, the US became the only nation in history to use nuclear weapons. By Simon Denyer Washington Post HIROSHIMA, Japan —On the 75th anniversary of the atomic bombing of his city, the mayor of Hiroshima planned to warn the world about the rise […]
A clerical oligarch gets caught with his pants down. Literally. By Peter Canellos and Michael Stratford Liberty University President Jerry Falwell Jr. said on Wednesday that he had apologized for posting a photo of him in unzipped pants and arm around a woman — but also defended the […]
New York Times Rescue workers still struggling to treat thousands of people wounded in an enormous explosion that rocked Beirut turned their attention on Wednesday morning to the desperate search for survivors. The blast, so powerful it could be felt more than 150 miles away in Cyprus, leveled […]
The Jacobin commies attack the petite bourgeoisie. By Matt Kruenig The Jacobin As the anti-monopoly movement has picked up steam in important policy circles, some have begun thinking that small business promotion is a good idea. This seems to be partially driven by the technical view that small […]
Of course. They’re covering all their bases.
A very strong case could be made that migration from California is far, far more threatening than immigration from Mexico or the Middle East. When is that “California travel ban” coming? Gotta stop those California caravans.
Sorry, Tucker, but I don’t give a fuck what happens to New York City. I don’t care for Tucker’s “law and order” police state and I don’t care for Di Blasio’s “medical martial law” either.
Fuck FAUX News. Although the Spiro Agnew-impersonators on FOX are at least entertaining, unlike the boring-as-fuck CNN and MSNBC.
Of course. That’s what Presidents are for.
Universities, corporations, tech companies, banks, and media conglomerates should all be considered agencies or branches of government, just like Congress or the Division of Motor Vehicles. The Bill of Rights should apply to all of these institutions and organizations. Un
Big Tech is part of the government. Big Tech was made possible only through technological development carried out by the government and with taxpayer money. The First Amendment should apply to Google, Facebook, Twitter, and Amazon every bit as much as it applies to Michigan, Illinois, Atlanta, and […]

Whatever else could be said about the Democraps, the last thing they are is Commies. They’ve gone out of their way to marginalize Rooseveltian New Dealers and McGovernite liberals like Sanders and AOC. Team Rising shares their thoughts on who Joe Biden is considering for his running mate […]
Whoever wins, the other side is likely to claim the winner cheated their way to victory. And they’ll probably be right. I’m pretty sure both sides plan on cheating with the question being who will be the most effective cheater? Krystal Ball reacts to Donald Trump’s Axios interview […]
It’s interesting to see (comparatively) fringe people being elected to Congress. Look for more of this in the future from both Left and Right. A Congress full of social democrats and QAnon types would be hilarious, although the ruling class would still control things from the top.
I agree with some of this and disagree with other parts but this is an interesting video. The best way to change things is by focusing on improving yourself and your community.
This is a classic work that was originally published in 1900. The author is a German judge, a non-anarchist who engaged in the scholarly exploration of the ideas of the “Big Seven” thinkers of classical anarchism: William Godwin, Max Stirner, Pierre Joseph Proudhon, Mikhail Bakunin, Peter Kropotkin, Benjamin […]
PragerU more or less epitomizes what gets passed off as contemporary American “conservatism,” which is basically a defense of the hegemony of the remnants of the 19th-century industrial bourgeoisie, American exceptionalism, the traditional American civil religion, and a defense of the American empire, plus paeons to the American […]
Get creative, folks. Stars Insider Nearly everyone has dreamt of ruling over their own country, but few can say they’ve ever done it. Enter the Republic of Molossia: a self-proclaimed micro-nation located within the US that has its own currency, passports, space program, war history, and much, much […]
I disagree with widespread claims that Trump is somehow Putin’s puppet. The Trump administration has been too hawkish toward Russia (unilaterally abrogating the INF Treaty, for example) rather than not hawkish enough. Russia is just a province in the global capitalist empire in which the US ruling class […]
A proposal for “defunding the police” from the Right though a bit moderate, just like most proposals for “defunding the police” from the Left. By Boyd Cathey Chronicles Now that a federal appellate court has ordered the dismissal of the case against Lieutenant General Michael Flynn, and outgoing intelligence […]
Fair enough. By MARK ROBINSON Richmond Times-Dispatch Already pulled from their pedestals and put in temporary storage at a sewage plant, Richmond’s Confederate statues are now officially up for grabs. The Richmond City Council on Monday voted unanimously to permanently remove the statues already being held in storage, […]
By Ben Hubbard and Maria Abi-Habib New York Times Lebanon’s health ministry said that at least 78 people had died and 4,000 suffered injuries in the explosions and fire that shook Beirut on Tuesday.
This is some excellent commentary. I have predicted for 20 years that as the aggressive militarism of the neocons produced one failure after another, the ruling class would eventually shift to an effort to maintain the empire under the cover of liberal internationalism, economic dominance, and totalitarian humanism. […]
I generally criticize the Left more than the Right for three main reasons: 1) fanatical leftism has a very strong grip on much of the anarchist milieu; 2) the Left is a rising force while the Right is a declining force, and 3) a co-opted form of cultural […]
I don’t consider Breitbart to be reliable journalism but this is certainly very interesting if true. The main thing anti-authoritarian radicals need to be doing is building a movement to peacefully dissolve the USA, with the only violence, if any, being resistance to state repression. By Joel B. […]
The availability of surveillance technology increases the urgency of the decentralist project. Death to the Empire. By Kim Zetter The Intercept Since May, as protesters around the country have marched against police brutality and in support of the Black Lives Matter movement, activists have spotted a recurring presence in […]
The Chinese are just now entering their Gilded Age. By Dan Kopf Quartz Increasing inequality is now at the center of world policy debates, and there is perhaps no person more responsible for that than French economist Thomas Piketty. His book Capital in the Twenty-First Century examined trends in […]
Feudalism is on its way back. By Eshe Nelson Quartz Across Western Europe and North America, the middle class is shrinking, according to a 2019 report by the OECD. With each new generation, a smaller share of the population find themselves earning middle incomes. When the Baby Boomers, […]
The main problem with this article is that the US already passed through the republican phase during the colonial period and first two centuries after the revolution, and entered the imperial phase in the 20th century, with US presidents being elective monarchs that act in a managerial capacity […]
“This is how we win. Bottom Unity. Unity among all anti-government renegades. Hillbillies and inner city black folks have far more in common with each other than we do with either major party or their armed civil servants. We’re all poor and pissed, and we’re all getting ripped […]
The feds are trying to target Antifa by connecting them to the PKK/YPG/YPJ. Krystal Ball details new reporting by The Nation’s Ken Klippenstein that exposes efforts to “target left activists and quash their constitutional rights.”
So what is the other 3 in 10 thinking about? Ah, yes, those are the managerial class.
The main thing Trump has going for him is Biden. Of course, the opposite is also true. Krystal Ball and Rachel Bovard weigh in on reports that Joe Biden is increasing his staffing in Texas, polling that shows Biden leading President Trump in four battleground states, and calls […]
LOL. This should be Trump’s campaign slogan. By Justine Coleman The Hill The president told Axios’s Jonathan Swan that the COVID-19 pandemic is “under control as much as you can control it” in the U.S. “They are dying, that’s true. And you have – it is what it […]
What is most interesting about the “polarization” is that most of it is make-believe. The problem with US politics is not that “extremist” viewpoints have too much influence, but that access to the political system is very narrowly restricted to the parameter of opinions favorable to ruling class […]
Economic nationalism, which is favored by guys like Tucker Carlson and Pat Buchanan, is just another term for mercantilism. It’s the system that societies in an early phase of industrial development tend to use in order to protect domestic industries. It’s more or less the system the US […]
Walter Block is much superior to most right-libertarians in that he recognizes that a stateless society would not necessarily be “capitalist” at all. By Walter Block Chronicles Under laissez-faire capitalism, government is limited to armies, which keep foreign bad guys from attacking us; police, to quell local criminals; […]
The economic vision of distributism, which is more or less the economic doctrine of the modern Catholic Church, is very similar to that of left-anarchism and libertarian-socialism, but socially conservative and minus anticlericalism. By Allan C. Carlson Chronicles Christian distributism celebrates the small and the human. It rests […]
I am briefly mentioned in this article. By Paul Gottfried Chronicles Although I have spent much of my scholarly life warning against inappropriate comparisons between Nazis or fascists and the pet peeves of academics and journalists, I myself am now using the F-word (as in fascist) or really […]
An audio reading of Thomas Sowell’s biographical sketch of Karl Marx. He sounds like one of today’s Antifa or SJWs, a spoiled bourgie kid who becomes a petty loser as an adult.
