Nexus X HumectressSeattle Police begin dismantling CHOP area after mayor issues executive order
If it’s any consolation, the Paris Commune didn’t turn out so well either.
Police Reform “Unlikely” Laments CNN (Told You So)
I disagree with some of the philosophical premises that Styx is arguing from in this, but much of his factual analysis is correct. He offers some advice that is worth heeding.
Prof Richard Wolff: “Downright Silly” To Call US A Free Market System
As Joel Kotkin has said, what we have now is not socialism or capitalism but neo-feudalism, which is something that Marxists, Nazbols, social democrats, libertarians, ancaps, national-anarchists, and left-anarchists ought to be able to agree on.
Anti-eviction protests ends with arrests, window smashed at downtown Richmond courthouse
Nice work. A small gesture, but every little bit counts. BY C. SUAREZ ROJAS Richmond Times-Dispatch An anti-eviction rally and protest march ended with arrests and a smashed window at the John Marshall Courthouse in downtown Richmond on Wednesday. Following the rally at the courthouse plaza and a […]
St. Louis man who went viral defending his property speaks out on ‘Tucker’
If opinion leaders, activists, “radicals,” BLMs, etc. are wise they will outspokenly oppose the criminal prosecution of these two. The last thing that needs to happen is for public support for repression to increase, for inter-tribal warfare to escalate, or for Red State/conservative middle-class Falangists to emerge. The […]
America’s decline: More like Ancient Greece or Ancient Rome?
It’s important to remember that the modern American Empire is really just an extension of the British Empire, only the capital was moved from London to Washington. I’d argue (in fact, I think it’s indisputable) that the Anglo-American (Atlanticist) Empire is simply the Roman (Mediterranean) Empire of the […]
Will the Neocons Bait, Turn, Switch, and Purge the Antifa/SJWs While Suppressing the Lumpenproletariat?
This is important stuff. I recently put a couple of questions concerning current events to a well-known intellectual historian, a Jewish man whose parents fled Hungary during the rise of Hitler, and who is a specialist in the history of 20th-century totalitarian movements. His responses confirmed my suspicion […]
A Practical Solution: Run Police Departments Like Fire Departments
This is probably the best idea for reducing police brutality/unnecessary killings, along with police state intrusions generally. Some libertarians/ancaps suggest replacing public police with private police. They have that in some areas of Latin America, and police are merely mercenaries for the rich (kind of like our public […]

The deaths of black youth and men at the hands of police have sparked a nationwide conversation on discriminatory policing practices. Media […]
The End of Policing
Alex Vitale’s book is probably the most comprehensive scholarly work on this topic at present. Thanks to Vince for the summary. – The origin of policing as a control mechanism for the upper class and rich to suppress the lower class and minorities. Strike breaking, enforcement of racial […]
“Why’d they have to end her life?”: Friends of Hannah Fizer look for answers, justice
This woman was shot by a cop who lied and claimed she had a gun when she didn’t. It’s also important to note that this was a white woman in a rural midwestern town. The police state is the enemy of everyone. By Emily Walton Friends, acquaintances and […]
Craig Johnson: Oklahoma police officer dies after traffic stop shooting
I haven’t been able to determine what this shooting was about, but the best way to prevent killings of either civilians or cops is to simply end traffic stops unless they are absolutely necessary, i.e. a clear and present danger to the safety of others is immediately present […]
What’s Going on in CHAZ, the Seattle Autonomous Zone?
By Bridget Read The Cut What is CHAZ? Your ex? Some sort of masked EDM DJ? One of the trolls in Trolls World Tour? CHAZ may be all of these, but it is also the acronym for the “Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone,” an area of about six blocks […]

Progressives Propose 10% Military Cut
Only 10%? At the end of the Cold War, no less than Robert McNamara wanted to reduce the military budget by 50%. “Progressives” are so lame. Kudos to Kyle for calling them out.

SHOCK SCOTUS decision on abortion shows GOP SELLOUT to big business
This is the best analysis of how the Supreme Court actually works that you will ever see in “big media.” The SCOTUS exists to ratify and uphold the class interests of the power elite and the state while deciding social issues on the basis of the prevailing consensus […]

Northam extends state of emergency in Richmond, citing ‘civil unrest’;
Ironically, Virginia has a Democratic government that recently passed a bunch of “woke” legislation but is ranked 51st in the country, below the other 49 states and Washington, D.C, on the issue of workers’ rights. Thanks to the northern Virginia suburbs, Virginia is becoming the California of the […]

More advertisers flee Facebook as boycott grows
It couldn’t have happened to nicer people. The most ironic thing is that the Facebook boycott is just a virtue-signaling scam by corporations, some of whom use child slave labor in the global South. This would be like the National Socialists denouncing the Catholic Church for its legacy […]
Asian Americans Are Still Caught in the Trap of the ‘Model Minority’ Stereotype. And It Creates Inequality for All
As an Asian friend of mine once said, “Hey, we can be fuckups, too!” By Viet Thanh Nguyen The face of Tou Thao haunts me. The Hmong-American police officer stood with his back turned to Derek Chauvin, his partner, as Chauvin knelt on George Floyd’s neck for 8 […]
Statues, Monuments, and Community Self-Determination
If it were up to me, the controversies over statues, monuments, street names, and building names would be decided like this: Every such icon that was located on government property would be considered the collective property of those who currently live in a local community, and who currently […]

Twitch Suspends Donald Trump’s Account for ‘Hateful Conduct’
To those who think Trump is a fascist, I would point out that in an actual fascist dictatorship the head of state is not subject to censorship. Statist authoritarianism in 2020 Western liberal states is not the 20th century model of totalitarianism. If you want to understand the […]
Newt Gingrich says 2020 is ‘the most important election since Lincoln’
Newt Gingrich is one of the most loathsome people in modern American political history, but he may be right that the 2020 election increasingly resembles the 1860 election in the sense of the existential questions that are involved. Newt may also be right that the victory of the […]
Why does it seem like both parties are trying to lose in 2020?
Krystal and Saager point out something that is really important in this, i.e. that the two parties’ leadership is more concerned about deflecting “radicals” in their own party than actually winning elections, which is consistent with my view that we really have three parties: The Neoliberal Centrist Party […]
Where does the 2020 election stand — and how might it turn out?
What I find most interesting about the upcoming election is the way that the two sides now view each other as existential enemies. Whichever side wins, I’m positive the other side will challenge the legitimacy of the results. For any kind of parliamentary state to function, the losing […]
China’s worries about separatism run deep
Peter Zeihan has argued that China may eventually fracture due to its internal instability and fragmentation. If that were to happen, I would consider it to be a major victory for “pan-secessionism” as a revolutionary tactic, as was the overthrow of the USSR and its Eastern European satellites. […]
Trump Will March Us Toward Fascism By Any Means Possible
I agree with much of the content of this video, but I don’t think this kind of rhetoric is helpful. One thing one of the speakers in this mentions is a “generational divide.” That is correct on many levels, and one level is that those who consider Trump […]
‘What I Saw In The West Bank’ Series Is Coming!
The most regrettable though predictable aspect of the recent uprising is that there has, for obvious reasons, been zero focus on the victims of state repression by the US and its allies in other countries. Most Americans, particularly the lumpenproletariat vanguard class, don’t know or don’t care about […]

Should NYC’s Wall Street Be Renamed ‘Eric Garner St.?
By Don Fitz Scenes of sorrow spread across the US. Football teams apologize. Cops march with demonstrators. Democratic Party politicians call for “structural change” in police departments. Some of these are sincere. Others are crocodile tears shed in hopes that people will be pacified with assurances that turn […]
Barr creates task force focused on ‘anti-government extremists’
Barr specifically mentioned both Antifa and Boogaloo. “What is an anti-government extremist? Antifa? Boogaloo? Black Lives Matter? Me? You?

Justice Dept. announces first felony charges in attempted toppling of Andrew Jackson statue near White House
Four troops down and more resources turned over to the state in the form of fines, bails, and lawyer fees. And for what? Were any resources liberated from the ruling class? Were any state functions rendered inoperative even for a single day? Think tactically, folks. By Evan Semones […]

Nothing Succeeds Like Secession: Suggested Demands for CHOP From a Friendly Panarchist Ally

Three Mutual Aid Networks in New York City
By Crimethinc Fundamental social change involves two intertwined processes. On the one hand, it means shutting down the mechanisms that impose disparities in power and access to resources; on the other hand, it involves creating infrastructures that distribute resources and power according to a different logic, weaving a […]
‘Master’ bedroom name to change due to overarching theme
