Nexus X HumectressThe Republican Party ultimately stands for only three things: advancing the class interests of the right-wing of the plutocracy (the old-bourgeoisie and the Sunbelt industries), advancing the war-profiteering of the military-industrial complex, and advancing the expansionist objectives of Israel. Guys like Ben Shapiro and Mark Levin are merely […]
Mark Levin is actually partially correct in that the US is now an English-speaking version of a Latin American banana republic.
LOL. Right on target.
Pussy-Grabber A vs Pussy-Grabby B. Krystal Ball tears into notorious Kavanaugh hearing attendant, actress Alyssa Milano, for her hypocrisy on the ‘believe women’ movement, after Milano dismissed Tara Reade’s story in public interviews.
The Hoover Institution, a think-tank that promotes the interests of the right-wing of the ruling class, takes a shot at China (the leading economic power in the Eastern division of global capitalism). The right-wing of the ruling class hates China as a threat to their economic interests and […]
Virtually all of the mainstream debate over “healthcare reform” amounts to one question: Should the state bureaucracy or corporate feudatories be the ones to run the healthcare system? It’s on the level of medieval peasants arguing about whether healthcare should be provided by the kings’ ministries or lords’ […]
Tim Patton offers some thoughtful insights in the comments section (see here) with my response reposted below: I agree with just about everything you said. The “stimulus” is functioning pretty much the way the welfare state generally functions with loads of corporate welfare, a little something for those […]
How do you define anarchy? Is it about no government or no “unjust hierarchies” for you? First, let me say that I am only speaking for myself, and not for any organization, or any movement as a whole. I would define anarchism as a […]
Krystal and Saagar look at the latest crime numbers out of New York City with most crimes dropping but burglary rising.
Saager refers to the Democrats as a “suburban -Wall Street” coalition. Yes.
In this interview from 2010, uber-imperialist, warmongering, neocon Victor Davis Hanson admits that the USA is a plutocracy, which he thinks is a good thing because it means we lack the aristocratic traditions of Europe. Now THAT is a true bourgeois apologist! An unapologetic defender of capitalist class […]
I don’t know if what Jimmie is saying in this is entirely accurate or not, but if true it confirms what I have been saying, i.e. that the Republicans are very slowly and tepidly moving to the left of the neoliberals on economics due to their strategically necessary […]
It’s interesting how the ruling class already largely practices anarchism (in the sense of being exempt from laws) and socialism (in the sense of having their individual and collective needs met through socializing the costs). Who says socialist-anarchism can’t work? 🙂 By Troy Southgate Some of us have […]
Flat earther Nathan Thompson blasted out of the gates and took us on a tour around the firmament. Then anarchist Keith Preston burned everything down and spoke to us like students in his classroom. Finally, Kevin Strange came on to laugh at all that was left.
By Nicky Reid aka Comrade Hermit Exile in Happy Valley It has recently become abundantly clear that Facebook hates my fucking guts. I’ve suspected as much for a while now but this week it became pretty much undeniable. After posting my praise for the latest victories of the […]
An example of how the conventional Libertarian ideological framework (the Mises-Hayek-Friedman-Rand-Rothbard axis) fails, just as the statism of “progressives” fails, whatever the value of Libertarian and/or Socialist analysis on many levels. Modern universities (particularly the most elite ones like Harvard) are just as much a part of the […]
By Manvir Singh Aeon.Com At 17, John Humphrey Noyes thought a lot about women. An awkward teenager with a gangly neck and slouching shoulders, he fretted over how good looks were the key to success, especially when pursuing women. And he was shy. ‘So unreasonable and excessive is […]
Associated Press BELGRADE, Serbia — Soldiers patrol the streets with their fingers on machine gun triggers. The army guards an exhibition center-turned-makeshift-hospital crowded with rows of metal beds for those infected with the coronavirus. And Serbia’s president warns residents that Belgrade’s graveyards won’t be big enough to bury […]
Back to the future. I agree with some of this and disagree with other parts. Yes, capitalism as it was practiced in 19th and early 20th century finally collapsed as Marx predicted it would, with the managerial revolution subsequently implementing a new form of capitalism. The impact of […]
Margaret Kimberley is an activist and journalist, as well as an editor and senior columnist at Black Agenda Report. She is is also the author of the new book “Prejudential: Black America and the Presidents.” On the show we discuss the government’s response to the cornavirus pandemic, the […]
First, a tragedy. Then a farce. By Gareth Porter The American Conservative The U.S. military has been forced by the coronavirus pandemic to make some serious changes in their operations. But the Pentagon, and especially the Navy, have also displayed a revealing resistance to moves to stand down […]
One of the nuttiest guys in Congress actually got it at least partially right on COVID-19, not because he’s actually smart, but because he’s a hysterical Sinophobe. By Matt Purple The American Conservative Tom Cotton is the Senate’s anti-Cassandra. Whereas Cassandra’s apocalyptic visions were never believed and always […]
Much of the Marxist history of Latin America is actually correct, even if one disagrees with the prescriptions that are typically offered. ——————————— Tom Woods interviews Dedra Birzer. Listen here. Dedra Birzer, lecturer in history at Hillsdale College, joins me for a bird’s-eye view of a major chunk […]
The always interesting Doug Casey. Listen here. ——————————————————— Doug Casey, whose book Crisis Investing spent 29 weeks at the #1 position on the New York Times bestseller list, joins me to assess the fallout from the various governmental responses to the coronavirus, as well as his own approach […]
Tom Woods and Dave Smith on the primitive instincts of the herd. Listen here. ———– Dave Smith and I discuss the approach being recommended to cope with COVID-19. Is “if this saves one life, I’ll be happy” a sensible way to think about the world? If you object […]
A couple of quotes from the godfather of modern anarchism, Pierre Joseph Proudhon, on why populism, while sometimes necessary, is never enough. “…because of this ignorance of the primitiveness of their instincts, of the urgency of their needs, of the impatience of their desires, the people show a […]
How convenient for the power elite that everyone is under a shelter-in-place order. It’s been great to see some leftist commentators like Kyle, Jimmie Dore, and Krystal Ball (finally) call out the failures of “left-wing” politicians. This is a good commentary. Kyle strikes me as one of the […]
It will be interesting to observe how the present economic/public health crisis impacts international relations. The biggest question involves whether the global ruling class will fragment or consolidate. In recent years, the US ruling class has been divided between the Russophobes/Syria-haters (Democrats) and Sinophobes/Iran-haters (Republicans), with the Eastern […]
By Douglas Rushkoff Medium Last year, I got invited to a super-deluxe private resort to deliver a keynote speech to what I assumed would be a hundred or so investment bankers. It was by far the largest fee I had ever been offered for a talk — about […]
As the COVID-19 crisis continues, Peter Robinson sat down (virtually over Zoom) with Kevin Warsh, the Shepard Family Distinguished Visiting Fellow at the Hoover Institution, and a former member of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. They discuss the nuts and bolts of the Federal […]
Zach Carter, Senior Reporter from the HuffPost, explains how the government is failing the test coronavirus poses to the country, citing structural issues of our economy and a shortage of medical supplies, healthcare workers.
No. Debt moratorium/jubilee and class-based reparations are the only way. Like that’s going to happen.
Will Coronavirus and Great Depression Two be the end of “wokeness”? I doubt it. “Wokeness” actually increased by an order of magnitude after the Great Recession. I see no evidence that the “culture wars” have subsided in the context of the present crisis. If anything, extremist movements, left […]
