Krystal Ball: Previewing the hellish future of a Biden administration
Not bad, Krystal. Not bad.
Not bad, Krystal. Not bad.
Two libertarians discuss the case for skepticism about the states actions and motives as well as highlighting the massive social and economic costs associated with this mild to extreme lockdown. What would a libertarian society do for a pandemic? Is this virus worth worrying about considering all the […]
Once again, Donald Trump presents the state as it ought to be presented, as a hybrid of the mafia and a carnival show. By Alistair McGeorge Donald Trump has named Vince McMahon in an advisory group to help reopen the United States economy. The US president announced this […]
I have the unusual distinction of being friends or least (I hope) cordially acquainted with all four of these guys. I commend all of them for being willing to participate in something like this.

Do we really have any idea?
When the actual history of the COVID-19 crisis of 2020 is finally written, I suspect it will show that a lot of what we’ve been told so far was mistaken or outright lies.
Tom Woods has been doing some good coverage of the present state of medical martial law this week. Check out some of these programs along with the comments from his e-newsletter posted below. What the Governors Should Do Now Dissident Virus Voices Is the Coronavirus a Libertarian Moment? […]
I like all of the divisiveness and partisanship we see in politics and the media nowadays. It shows the system is fracturing.
If nothing else, hopefully, the Left will realize they need less wimpy leaders.
Krystal comes pretty close to going full Jimmie Dore in this. Almost, but not quite.
What could possibly be more pathetic? The neoliberal class handpicks a guy who has been a puppet for the banksters for half a century as its anointed candidate. A guy who has a history of being on the wrong side of every important issue for his entire career […]
I’m not a fan of Laura Ingraham, who strikes me as mostly just an Adelson, Inc. mouthpiece, but she’s got a point here.
So Barack is a scumbag who was orchestrating things behind the scenes on behalf of the banksters. Who could’ve guessed? Who needs comedy when you’ve got this stuff?
“Please make me the vice-president!” said Lizzie the Scamster.
I am not someone who embraces the more exotic conspiracy theories about the origins of COVID-19, or the view that coronavirus is really no big deal. Historically, outbreaks of deadly epidemic have been entirely normal, with drastic measures often being required to contain them. During my grandparents’ generation, […]
“I hate agreeing with this dick so often but Gretchen Whitmer is running Michigan like a Third World banana republic. Coronavirus is some serious shit but fascism is way fucking worse and that is exactly what heavy-handed governors like Whitmer are trafficking in. Carlson should talk to the […]
I have to respect Kulinski’s ability to avoid pathological right-wingophobia and the “vote blue, no matter who” nonsense. But, regrettably, most liberals, progressives, leftists, social democrats, socialists, and even many anarchists (shame) will fail to follow his example.
Bernie shows how lame he really is. If the progressives were to start a party of their own, the likely effect would be that the US would have three parties, a social democratic party, a neoliberal party, and a populist-nationalist party. The neocons would probably return to the […]
Luke Ford, Paul Gottfried, and Joseph Cotto discuss what Francois-Noel Babeuf called the “socialism of fools.”
I respect Jim Gray, and “within the system” people like him are necessary, but the problem I have with him is that a former judge is likely to be too much of a system-loyalist for my tastes. For instance, Gray opposes jury nullification, just like when Gary Johnson […]
One of the best things about Trump is that he presents the state as it ought to be presented. When he speaks, he sounds like a mafia boss ordering a hit, which is exactly how the state ought to be portrayed. The chattering class/wine and cheese crowd crapola […]
1981 Academy Award Winner for Best Short Documentary. Profile of Karl Hess – writer, community activist, technologist and all around genius.
By Stefan Gleason, Money Metals Exchange “All of the projection models were wrong. All of them,” admitted New York Governor Andrew Cuomo in an interview last week with MSNBC. Governor Cuomo had been issuing frantic demands for tens of thousands of ventilators… that turned out not to be […]
It’s hardly surprising that Obama would endorse his former VP. But it also shows that Obama is nothing more than an opportunistic careerist and ladder-climber. Certainly, he recognizes that Biden has dementia, early-stage Alzheimer’s, or some other mental defect. The decent thing to do would be to counsel […]
Maybe that’s why Hillary Clinton and Samantha Power hired some Salafi mercenaries to stick a shank up his ass. Maybe he knew too much.
This is actually some pretty good economic commentary. I disagree with bits of this but it’s more than just the standard right-wing rant against “socialism” (although there are elements of that as well). This fellow seems to have a better understanding of the relationship between State and Capital […]
Some good comments from Kim on global house arrest while the ruling class goes looting. “If you’re not ready to die for it, take the word ‘freedom’ out of your vocabulary.” Malcolm X
Back in 1983, Paul Fussell published a classic work that outlined his theory of class stratification in the US. The book discussed not only the socioeconomic positions but also the cultural and lifestyle aspects of different classes. I’ve generally found Fussell’s analysis to be as good as any. […]
Theoretically, both Russia and China (the Eastern wings of the International Five Families) are societies that meet most of the characteristics of what Westerners think of as “fascism.” Both exhibit chauvinistic nationalism, authoritarian statism, “crony capitalism,” wide class divisions, patriarchy, racism, xenophobia, and Islamophobia. Neither one is particularly […]
Historically, whenever societies have experienced either an economic downturn or an epidemic of a disease, people have started looking for scapegoats to blame for the problem. In ancient societies, a literal human sacrifice might result. Right now, the US is experiencing both an economic downturn and an epidemic. […]
The upside of the Latin Americanization of the US economy is that it will essentially resolve the immigration debate because no one will want to migrate from Latin America if they are only going to another country with Latin American class structures.
A lot of Republican politicians are going to be moving leftward on economics in the future because many of them represent deep red zones that are in terrible economic condition, which will create conflict between them and the right-wing plutocrats that bankroll the party.
Let’s hope so.
It makes perfect sense. The Left is rising in the US and the Right is declining. Trump is to the left of Biden and Sanders is to the left of Trump. The Left needs to realize they can’t win without the actual proletariat.
The Voice of the Ruling Class covers for its anointed candidate.
Good news. Are “progressives” showing signs of actual progress? Krystal makes the important point in this that those who are most under attack by the system are those who are the least likely to vote because the correctly see no value in it. Krystal and Saager more or […]
Alexandria cements her subservience to neoliberalism and her “momma bear” Nancy Pelosi. Reformism fails again. Trump’s populist-nationalism is arguably to the left of Biden’s neoliberalism/liberal-imperialism, just as France’s National Front has moved to the left of the neoliberals on economics and international relations. Regrettably, most “progressives” are so […]
I don’t really agree with the “silent majority” victimology or right-wing ressentiment found in a lot of “populist-right” circles, but this article is a pretty good summary of the state of political affairs in the US today. By Robert Merry The American Conservative We know what kind of […]
A pretty good takedown of the neocon shitheads from the paleos at TAC. The neocons are pissed because Trump hasn’t waged war aggressively enough for their tastes, or made enough effort to bankrupt the working class quickly enough. Actually, Trump has been far, far, far more friendly to […]
Hopefully. By Mark Perry The American Conservative When historians look back at “the coronavirus crisis of 2020,” they’re likely to focus on the spread of the disease, the economic dislocation it caused and how the federal government responded to it. Predictably, and depending on the depth and duration […]
Voltairine de Cleyre’s concept of “anarchism without adjectives” (which actually originated from Cuban anarchists a few decades earlier) was about reconciling or at least accommodating the various radical tendencies of her time (mutualists, individualists, collectivists, communists, syndicalists, Tolstoyans, Georgist, Bellamyites, etc.). Given the proliferation of a much greater […]
“In capitalism you live like in a cage. People accepted the myth that man can only make progress out his own strength and that it is only up to him, if he doesn´t manage to live within a centralist state bureaucracy and the capitalist market. They want to […]
This what the revolutionary left looked like in the US before the Left was co-opted by neoliberal stooges and/or overrun by SJW/Antifa dumbasses. By Colette Gaiter The Conversation In the 2016 presidential election, Donald Trump won the white vote across all demographics except for college-educated white women. He […]
Watch the interview here. Currently the world is in the midst of a global health pandemic, or so we are told. We have been covering all of the events which have preceded the coronavirus outbreak that suggest we are not being told the entire story.
