Nexus X HumectressA Message to Protestors: The Shocking Truth
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.
Anarchism by Paul Eltzbacher
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 […]
The Nonsense Politics of PragerU
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 […]
The unbelievable story behind a tiny self-declared nation
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 […]
‘Ode to Putin’ appears in Portland from Trump Statue Initiative
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 […]
It’s Time to Abolish the FBI
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 […]
After Richmond City Council backs permanent removal, city to field offers for Confederate statues

What We Know About the Explosions in Beirut, Lebanon: Live Updates
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.
Let’s talk about the Floyd footage and what it changes….
Let’s talk about Biden’s possible foreign policy….
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. […]
The Trouble With Conservatives
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 […]
Democrats’ ‘War Game’ for Election Includes West Coast Secession, Possible Civil War
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. […]
How Cops Can Secretly Track Your Phone
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 […]
After 40 years of capitalism, China’s income is divided almost as unequally as America’s
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 […]
In Rich Countries, the Middle Class Is Getting Smaller and Smaller, Generation by Generation
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, […]
Lessons in the Decline of Democracy From the Ruined Roman Republic
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 […]
Right-Wing Star Sides With Black Lives Matter, Slams Police
“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 […]
TrueAnon Host TARGETED By Trump DHS In Bid To Hunt ANTIFA Like Terrorists
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.
Fox News Host GOES OFF On Trump’s ‘Baffling Complacency’

Trump on coronavirus death toll: ‘It is what it is’
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 […]
Polarization in America: two possible futures
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 […]
The Case for Economic Nationalism
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 […]
The Case for Laissez-Faire Capitalism
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 Case for Christian Distributism
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 […]
Antifa: Nazis Without a Plan
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 […]
Thomas Sowell: Marx The Man
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.
Proudhon To Marx: Lyon, 17 May 1846
The godfather of modern anarchism criticizes Marx as a doctrinaire authoritarian and secularized religious fundamentalist. Does this sound familiar? The historic anarchist critics of Marxism and other forms of authoritarian leftism is who our contemporary critics of PC, wokeness, cancel culture, etc. should be paying attention to, and […]

Two Black moms took their kids to the Mall. Secret Service officers confronted them with guns, they said.
By Katie Mettler Washington Post It was a hot Thursday afternoon, so India Johnson, 26, and Yasmeen Winston, 25, decided to take their babies to splash in the fountains at the World War II Memorial. The women, best friends since seventh grade, parked on Constitution Avenue near the […]
Revolutionary Communist Party leader backs Biden
And to think the RCP was once the US allies of the Shining Path. Contra the Washington Times, I would argue that the fact that so many on the supposed “hard left” such as Bob Avakian, Angela Davis, and Bill Ayers have endorsed Biden out of Trump Derangement […]

We want it now. Please deliver immediately. Or we’ll […]
Why the US Military Usually Punishes Misconduct but Police Often Close Ranks
By Dwight Stirling The Conversation Many U.S. military members publicly disavowed President Trump’s decision to pardon Edward Gallagher, the former SEAL commando convicted of killing a teenage detainee in Iraq in 2017. Gallagher’s alleged war crimes were nearly universally condemned up the chain of command, from enlisted men […]
The Ten Core Demographics Revisited Ten Years Later

Inter-Tribal Warfare is Always a Bad Idea
On this day, 2 August 1944, around 4000 Roma people in the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp resisted being taken to the gas chambers. The SS swarmed into the Roma camp, but prisoners had armed themselves with sticks and crowbars, and barricaded themselves indoors, fighting the Nazis with hands and […]
Donald Trump, American Dictator
Trump is a dickhead, but he’s too lazy and incompetent to be an actual strong man dictator. Trump is not a “man of action.” He is a man of talk who doesn’t know how to back it up. I don’t really see him being a Putin or Erdogan, […]
