Nexus X HumectressVoluntary Servitude
By Anarchy Man
Social Democrats, USA
A small fringe leftist party provided the bowels in which the neocons were originally spawned. The story of how former socialists achieved ideological hegemony in the American political class with the assistance of right-wing plutocrats is a rather interesting one to say the least. Only sectors of the […]
Neoconservatism
The Wikipedia profile of our ultimate enemies, or at least a major faction of them. —————————————————————– Neoconservatism is a political movement born in the United States during the 1960s among liberal hawks who became disenchanted with the increasingly pacifist foreign policy of the Democratic Party, and the growing […]
History of the Communist Front
This is an old document that was prepared by the California state government back in the 1950s during the height of the Cold War. It predictably contains the usual hysteria of the time but the description it provides of Marxist-Leninist organizational strategies and tactics is largely accurate. Take […]
The Neocons Strike Back
A New Republic article from January 2020 following the Suleimani assassination. Probably the most important thing that is happening in US politics right now is something that almost no one is aware of which is the present effort by the neocons to put themselves back in charge of […]
Wall Street and FDR
Both Marxists and radical libertarians like Antony Sutton pointed out how Roosevelt was not a “traitor to his class” but a friend of the power elite who wished to preserve the position of the ruling class against insurgent populist, labor, farmer, socialist, communist, and fascist movements that were […]
How FDR Saved Capitalism
Both the reformist left and the reactionary right have promoted the idea that FDR was a socialist or fascist that was either the working class’ savior or a villain who undermined America’s free enterprise system. Neither of these narratives of true. FDR originated from a patrician family, and […]
Thomas Frank on Anti-Populism, Plus Biden’s Most-Stoned Moment Ever
This is a pretty good discussion of populism in the US during the late 19th century. Author Thomas Frank joins the show to discuss his latest book ‘The People, NO: A Brief History of Anti-Populism.’ Katie Halper and Matt Taibbi dissect Biden’s most-stoned moment ever.
Joe Arpaio loses bid for his old position as sheriff
Bye. By Tal Axelrod The Hill Former Maricopa County, Ariz. Sheriff Joe Arpaio narrowly lost his campaign to get his old job back Friday, ending a nearly successful comeback for one of the state’s most polarizing figures. Arpaio, who held the position from 1993-2017, lost the GOP primary […]
Kim Debates Destiny! Vote Biden Or No Biden?
There is a lengthy and pretty good discussion of foreign policy in this.
Another Peasant Murdered by the King’s Knights
By Eric July This is Ryan Whitaker. He was shot and killed by the police May 21st in Arizona, and you’ve probably heard nothing about it until you read this post. I just recently found out about it as I was notified by a follower that wanted my […]
Would Susan Rice as VP be a death wish for the Democratic Party?
Susan Rice is a “liberal internationalist” (basically, a left-neocon). Liberal internationalists prefer to exercise imperial power through the use of international institutions like the UN as opposed to US unilateralism, maintaining the empire through economic and trade dominance, the use of sanctions rather than military invasion (“starve ’em […]
Trump Puts Iran-Contra VILLAIN In Charge Of Iran Policy
It’s interesting that the neocons are now waging a multi-front battle to regain the control they had during the Bush years: colonizing the Democrats and Never Trumpers, while embedding themselves in Trumpism at the same time, and simultaneously creating a Rainbow Right while continuing to pander to the […]
Progressivism in the United States
Many people are regrettably confused about what gets passed off as “leftism” in the USA. Historically, the original “left” were the classical liberals of the 18th century who favored republicanism over absolute monarchies. In this sense, virtually all Americans are “leftists” even Rush Limbaugh and Alex Jones. In […]
The Public Administration State is Not Socialism
FOX News “conservatives” have a habit of referring to everything they don’t like as “socialism” (usually taken to mean any kind of government involvement in the economy, particularly if it is supposedly intended to help the disadvantaged). But the American public administration state has nothing to do with […]
#WalkAway: The Perfect Neocon Scam?
Given that the Republican “base” of older white evangelicals and nativists is rapidly shrinking, I’ve often wondered where the GOP would get their replacement constituency from. It appears this #WalkAway movement may be part of their effort to “elect a new people” (Bertolt Brecht). #WalkAway seems to be […]
Utah protesters face potential life sentence due to “gang” law
I always said that anti-gang laws were not only a violation of freedom of association but would eventually be used as a means of repressing political dissidents. By Li Cohen CBS News Black Lives Matter protesters in Salt Lake City have been accused of splashing paint on a […]
Many Americans Are Convinced Crime Is Rising In The U.S. They’re Wrong.
The reason Americans have an exaggerated fear of crime is that for decades the System has promoted anti-crime hysteria in order to justify the building of a police state. It is true that crime rates started to dramatically increase in the late 1960s when Nixon introduced the “war […]

Tucker: America was a very different country 7 months ago
Carlson is in his better form in this although he’s still trying to score some partisan points along the way. Now, if he would only criticize Trump’s law and order police state the same way he criticizes medical martial law.
Hannity: Biden doesn’t know what city he’s in
Sean Hannity is obviously a professional liar and charlatan but some of the Biden footage in this is hilarious.

Let’s Face it, China Is Its Own Worst Enemy
The Chinese regime sucks, but the Sinophobia that the US political class is ratcheting up is all a rhetorical smokescreen that has the effect of obscuring the real relationship between the US and China. By Doug Bandow The American Conservative In hopes of winning reelection, President Donald Trump […]
Trump Names Neocon Regime Changer as Iran Envoy
The worst decision that Trump has made in his entire term so far. Elliot Abrams is the son-in-law of neocon godfather Norman Podhoretz. By Daniel Larison The American Conservative The New York Timesreports on the resignation of Brian Hook, who will be replaced by none other than Elliott […]
Election 2020: Conspiracy theory candidates become mainstream by politicizing fear
As if mainstream politicians somehow aren’t involved in “politicizing fear.” Remember the “smoking gun that was going to turn into a mushroom cloud” or “Colon” Powell’s smoke and mirrors show in front of the UN? Or the daily dose of “the Russians are coming” from MSNBC? Or Iran’s […]
Is QAnon the Most Dangerous Conspiracy Theory of the 21st Century?
No. The Russophobia, Sinophobia, and Iranophobia promoted by the neocons and neoliberals are the most dangerous collection of conspiracy theories. By Charlie Warzel New York Times In 2019, the F.B.I. cited QAnon as one of the dangerous conspiracy theories posing domestic terrorist threats to the United States and […]
Will The New ‘Squad’ ACTUALLY Stand Up To Pelosi?
Fragmentation among the ruling class parties is a good thing. More “squad” folks, please.
Cori Bush’s CLASS Identity Politics Are A REBUKE To Wealthy Dem Establishment

Ted Cruz bashes Oprah for ‘lecture’ on race: ‘What utter, racist BS’
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 […]
“The God That Failed”
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 […]
WalkAway Interview Clips with Keri Smith and Mike Harlow
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 […]
Trump: Tinpot Dictator? (w/ Noam Chomsky)
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 […]
Bookchin, Öcalan, and the Dialectics of Democracy

Beirut Digs for Explosion Survivors as Casualty Totals Rise
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 […]
Small Businesses Are Overrated
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 […]

Joe Rogan: There is a Mass Exodus Out of California Right Now
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.
Tucker: What happens to New York City matters to the rest of us
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.
Fox News On Federal Crackdowns, Then Vs Now

Kim Tries to Convince Right Wingers To Cancel Student Debt
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
