Nexus X HumectressIdeally, a serious anarchist movement in North America, as I have long argued, would be a “revolutionary left” that regards neoliberals as “the main enemy,” and “attacks the Left from the left,” by pointing out the historic treachery of the Marxists (First International, Kronstadt, Barcelona, etc), the historically […]
Yes. Since 2016, I have maintained that the real reason Trump won the election was that, rhetorically, he was the most “left-wing” (anti-imperialist, anti-capitalist, anti-power elite) of the two candidates, even if he is personally just a carnival barker and has governed largely as a conventional Republican since […]
The lumpenproletariat assumes a leadership position.
“Anyone who watched the video I posted three days ago, The Great Depression, will have seen firm documentary evidence pointing to a controlled demolition of the global economy. As a result of the fact that an increasing number of people are beginning to take these claims seriously, the […]
“Many people assume that the present crisis – engineered, as it is – will be followed by a more totalitarian system, but we should never lose sight of the fact that ‘liberal democracy’ is already a form of totalitarianism and the only difference between a system in which […]
Welcome to the worldwide police state, folks. Covid-19 has brought about what no amount of socialism or fascism could achieve, and we are doing it to ourselves. Britain, America, Australia, Israel and many other countries are implementing draconian measures to #quarantine people in their homes, and Hungary appears […]
That’s what happened with the Spanish flu in 1918. It started out early in the year, subsided a bit, and then came back with a vengeance in the fall.
Pushback with Aaron Maté The coronavirus pandemic has left millions of US workers without a job and the healthcare that comes with it. Economist Pavlina Tcherneva discusses how the Congressional bailout prioritizes corporate profits instead of building on the successful legacy of the New Deal. Guest: Pavlina Tcherneva, […]
The anarchist economic ideal of decentralized systems of cooperative production for local use is starting to seem like a pretty good idea.
Jeff Bezos is the John D. Rockefeller of the 21st century, and Amazon is the new Standard Oil.
Our lame-ass “progressive” politicians and media commentators need to be pushing rent strikes, debt strikes, labor strikes, prisoner releases, etc. etc. etc. Jimmie Dore seems to be one of the few that has stepped up to the plate so far. By Rachel Martin Forbes Topline: As millions of […]
By Nick Martin The New Republic I left college $25,000 in debt, a fact I’m reminded of every month when an email from Great Lakes Borrowers Services informs me that “Your Automatic Payment Will Be Made Soon.” But relative to most American graduates, I got off easy: The […]
By Randi Nord Geopolitics Alert Sana’a (GPA) – The Saudi coalition continues weaponizing disease in Yemen — this time capitalizing on the novel coronavirus — in a disturbing and barbaric fashion. Saudi planes have air dropped suspicious face masks and other supplies potentially contaminated with COVID-19 into some […]
AOC embraces Megan McCain. Will she follow the standard social democrat to neocon trajectory?
By Eric Reed The Street While some are able to work from home during the coronavirus pandemic, other people simply don’t have jobs that allow for that. Many people are in industries that are still working. However, the economic impact of the pandemic has wreaked havoc on many […]
A falling out among thieves. The only reason GM still exists is because of the last ruling class looting spree from 2008. Is the ruling class fracturing? Jamie L. LaReau Detroit Free Press General Motors and its CEO Mary Barra are in President Donald Trump’s crosshairs more than […]
We’re a majority now, but we need to get our numbers up further. By Julia Conley Common Dreams New polling out Wednesday backdropped by the continuing coronavirus outbreak shows that most of the country believes the U.S. political system works only for the wealthy and elite rather than […]
Medical martial law, a ruling class looting spree, and escalating threats against Iran. The System is on the prowl. By Andrea Germanos Common Dreams As the coronavirus pandemic wreaks havoc on world economies, claims tens of thousands of lives, and cripples healthcare systems worldwide, President Donald Trump took […]
By Alejandro de la Garza Time With a deadly coronavirus epidemic creeping northward and the nearest hospital 230 miles away, Galen Gilbert, First Chief of Arctic Village, Alaska, knew his 200-person town could not afford to take any chances. A single case of COVID-19 could lead to the […]
By Sean Collins Vox he Bureau of Prisons (BOP) announced late Wednesday that, due to Covid-19 concerns, all of those incarcerated in federal facilities will be under quarantine for the next 14 days. The guidelines come as a growing number of incarcerated people and prison employees have begun […]
“Let my people go.” -Moses By Barbara Bradley Hagerty The Atlantic While millions of Americans shelter in place, one group simply cannot escape the coronavirus: prisoners. Among them are hundreds of people who have plausible claims that they are innocent, whose cases were working their way through the […]
By Roge Karma Vox As of March 31, 270 million people in at least 33 states, 89 counties, and 29 cities across the US have been urged by their government officials to stay home. While these policies often come with seismic life disruptions, the vast majority of Americans […]
It’s fascinating to see an article like this in the Voice of the Deep State. By Renae Merle, Heather Long and Patricia Sullivan Washington Post After losing his job as a restaurant cook last month, Casey James began contacting his Atlanta neighbors with an idea: No one should […]
The same pattern the US Left has followed since the 1970s. A relevant observation from the comments section: “I never drank the AOC kool aid. 90% of the interest in her derives from the fact that she’s a young woman of color and she’s from NYC, which we’re […]
Dr. Mehmet Oz joins ‘Fox & Friends’ after the coronavirus task force projects upwards of 100,000 deaths from COVID-19.
President Trump’s coronavirus task force shared grim projections for the country’s future amid the coronavirus crisis, estimating that 100,000 to 240,000 Americans could die before the crisis is over. The tone of the press conference marks a stark departure from Mr. Trump’s previous media appearances, where he mostly […]
Rent strikes, labor strikes, prison strikes. It’s happening. Read all about it here.
Supposedly, Woody Guthrie wrote a song in 1950 where he lyrically attacked his then-landlord, Fred Trump (Donald Trump’s father). Supposedly, the song was discovered a few years ago, and actually recorded by some contemporary musicians like Ani DiFranco and Tom Morello. I have no idea whether this story […]
The “Who Cares? Act” is statism on steroids, ruling class looting on steroids, and political class opportunism on steroids.
Universities, along with the mass media, are what I call the “New Church,” in the sense of being institutions that are the most responsible for establishing and dissemination the ideology and values of the ruling class, and subsequently using their institutional power to inculcate ruling class ideology in […]
Like so many paleconservative types, Tucker Carlson is excellent on gun rights, but horrible on civil libertarian and anti-police state issues generally (e.g. supporting the drug war, opposing weed legalization, opposing “criminal justice reform,” opposing coronavirus-driven prisoner releases, using standard conservative cop-lover rhetoric, etc.). Coronavirus is causing a […]
An interesting discussion of Trump from November 2016, immediately after Trump’s election, that nails the essence of Trumpism fairly well, i.e. a symbolic triumph of populism against elitism where the principal division is social class. The speakers in this video are “conservative intellectuals” of the old-bourgeois variety, and […]
By Aleksa Burmazovic Asgardia is the world’s first society to be located entirely off-world: despite the impressive concept art that one encounters on the recently created (2016) startup society’s website, its properties in low-earth orbit currently consist of a single breadbox-sized satellite – ASGARDIA-1. “Cloud storage” isn’t quite […]

By Sam Dolfgoff (1986) The revival of interest in anarchism has recently produced works on the ideology and history of the libertarian movement. By far, most modern writers confirm popular misconceptions about how the anarchists view the relationships of society to the state, of individual freedom and local […]
By Murray Bookchin (1974) Panarchy.Org The city has completed its historic evolution. Its dialectic from the village, temple area, fortress or administrative center, each dominated by agrarian interests, to the polis and medieval commune during an era when town and country were in some kind of equilibrium, to […]

By Mike Gleason, Money Metals Exchange The roller coaster ride in markets took a sharp turn higher this week after the Federal Reserve and Congress together pledged over 6 trillion dollars to rescue the financial system. Perhaps this week was an inflection point for the mass fear and […]
A contemporary scholarly masterpiece that completely debunks the state. Available at Amazon.

Lawrence Dennis’s much neglected and long-forgotten masterpiece from 1969. Available from Amazon. “Operational Thinking for Survival” is Lawrence Dennis’s 1969 follow up book to his 1940 book “The Dynamics of War and Revolution”. It would be worth the while of the modern reader of either book to read […]
Given that the “Who CARES? Act” is the Burgfriendenspolitik of the modern US economy, Alexander Berkman’s characterization of social democrats from 1929 has relevance. The present ruling class action is a mere looting spree and mass theft, as opposed to outright mass murder as was the case in […]
It looks like the “progressive” media and the “progressive” politicians are having a falling out. Excellent.
