Nexus X HumectressLooking at the origins and history of the Holy Roman Empire, assessing the claim by Voltaire that it was not holy, nor Roman, nor an empire, and finally looking at the complex hierarchical political structure of the empire.
The Holy Roman Empire is not only an ironic concept, it’s also weirdly complicated. Learn how many titles the rulers needed to see how cool they were trying to be or why the Emperor’s rule was only semi-optional.
A rare conversation among eminent exponents of left-wing anarchism, anarcho-capitalism, and classical liberalism. See below the fold for full info & cue times.
By Nicky Reid aka Comrade Hermit Exile in Happy Valley Another Black History Month comes and another Black History Month goes. The 29 dreary days of the year when we reduce the history of the people who built this country beneath the weight of the whip to extra […]
Some cheerful news for the day.
If Tulsi were Bernie’s running mate, that would be the best reason to vote for Bernie (not that I am an advocate of electoral politics). Of all the major party candidate, she is head and shoulders above the others. Is she where I am politically? Hell, no. But […]
Trump came along in 2016 and knocked the Bush-Romney-McCain normal Republicans to the side, then won an upset elect against a veteran establishmentarian. Now, Sanders is successfully challenging the neoliberal Democrats. Will he get the nomination? Will the DNC cheat him out of the nomination? Could Sanders beat […]
By Will Schnack Evolution of Consent Compared to monarchy, is democracy more or less government? It seems to depend on who is asked. Some will suggest that democracy is less government than monarchy is, because people have the ability to participate directly in the governing process. Others, however, […]
Two leading National-Anarchists deliver their respective talks at a public meeting of the Associação de Jornalistas e Homens de Letras do Porto (Portugal), followed by a question and answer session involving both speakers. The organizers of this event were José Almeida and Manuel Rezende from Café Odisseia. 00:00 […]
By Andy Beckett The Guardian Work is the master of the modern world. For most people, it is impossible to imagine society without it. It dominates and pervades everyday life – especially in Britain and the US – more completely than at any time in recent history. An […]

By Nicky Reid aka Comrade Hermit Exile in Happy Valley Well dearest motherfuckers, socialism is back and it only took about a century, or at least so it appears. Nearly half the country has polled as being down with Debs. In spite of the worst efforts of his […]
Some sad news from AnarchistNews.Org. Apparently, anarchist publisher Aragorn Bang has passed away. Aragorn was a long time anarchist from the Bay Area, and the force behind the Little Black Cart publishing venture. R.I.P. At 10:26pm on Thursday February 13 Aragorn! walked on. After a debilitating stroke he […]
By Nicky Reid aka Comrade Hermit Exile in Happy Valley America is a country that both loves and hates its conspiracy theories. On the one hand, our popular culture is lousy with them, from cinema to the president’s goddamn Twitter account. On the other hand, we host an […]
Todd Lewis is joined by Logos to discuss the implications in the digital space of absentee ownership.
Today seems to be quite the day for anniversaries! Not only is this day, the 13th of February 2020, the half-century anniversary of Black Sabbath’s self-titled album—and, by extension, the whole heavy metal genre—it’s also the 75th anniversary of the bombing of Dresden, one of the least salutary […]
By Nicky Reid aka Comrade Hermit Exile in Happy Valley Once again, dearest motherfuckers, I feel obligated to reprise my roll as ‘that bitch.’ Do I really have to be the queer bummer who smashes the Buttigieg delusion? Are all the other faggot anarchists busy? Oh well, fuck […]
Aleksey Bashtavenko Academic Comosition This was quite a captivating performance. Regardless of whether you support Brexit or decry it, it’s hard not to identify with the mobilizing passions Nigel Farage appeals to. While it remains an open question whether the UK is better off with the EU or without […]
By Jake Recktenwald Rational Anarchy I recently stumbled upon this debate between Patrick Smith, a vulgar libertarian, and Mike Shipley, a comrade and libertarian who does great activist work. Smith, unsurprisingly, says some very dumb things that require rebuttal. This is not to say, of course, that Mike […]
By Nicky Reid aka Comrade Hermit Exile in Happy Valley Urgh! Ma, do I have to write about impeachment again? Cant I just take the trash down to the curb instead? Yeah, that’s right, dearest motherfuckers, its another goddamn impeachment piece, because apparently the thing about purgatory is […]
Kim Iversen has a great series of videos on this topic.
This is interesting.
By Jesse Naranho Politico The House on Thursday approved two measures aimed at clawing back President Donald Trump’s war powers, a direct result of recent aggression between Iran and the United States that culminated earlier this month in missile attacks on Iraqi military bases housing U.S. troops. The […]

Yes.
Todd Lewis joined by Derrick Jensen from Deep Green Resistance to engage in a constructive dialogue.
Todd Lewis is joined by Keith Preston, RR and Swithun Dobson to discuss the ruling class in the Modern World.
By Nicky Reid aka Comrade Hermit Exile in Happy Valley It’s getting pretty damn near impossible, even for a vengeful anarcho-cynic like myself, to deny that the system clearly despises Bernie Sanders. Both the DNC and their moronic B-team in the so called mainstream media seem to be […]
Pete invited Keith Preston to return to the show to talk about his 30+ year journey through anarchism. Keith has devoted much of that time to anarchism’s historical study and hosts the largest pan-archist site on the web, Attack The System. Listen here. AttackTheSystem.com Keith’s Books Donate at […]
A great interview that covers many topics that are relevant to ATS such as the value of “pan-secessionism” as opposed to “world domination anarchism,”and left-wing authoritarianism. Listen here. “Since Bellamy was here at the start of The Brilliant project it is great to check in where he is […]
Listen here. US President Donald Trump’s travel ban is based on geopolitical reasons and imposed against countries that refuse to join America’s sphere of influence, says a political analyst in Virginia. “I noticed that Belarus was included. Belarus is of course another nation that is widely considered to be […]
My take on the Trump impeachment is the same as Mike Gravel’s and Tulsi Gabbard’s. There are many things that are objectionable about Trump (and virtually all other presidents), and calling him out on those things would be justifiable if Congress cared to do so. But the impeachment […]
Democratic lawmakers in both chambers of the US Congress have slammed the rules of impeachment against President Donald Trump announced by Senate Republicans, saying the process is “rigged” and different from the impeachment of former Democratic President Bill Clinton.
By Nicky Reid aka Comrade Hermit Exile in Happy Valley As the dust settles on Donald Trump’s latest high octane game of chicken with the Islamic Republic, an eerie calm seems to have risen like fog from Soleimani’s grave to take its place. But while the whole world […]
Todd Lewis and Keith Preston discuss the failure of the political left in its historic mission of checking private power.
The United Nations has urged all “foreign” players to stop “interfering” in the conflict in Libya, just a day before a peace summit in Germany aimed at establishing a permanent ceasefire between the two warring sides in the North African country.
Press TV. Listen here. Senior US officials in President Donald Trump’s administration who are “heavily connected” to the Israel lobby and US arms industry pressured Trump to order the assassination of Iranian Lieutenant General Qassem Soleimani, says a political analyst in Virginia. “The reason he did that seems […]
Balkans Post “An act of assassination carried out against a high-ranking official of another state is an act of war,” said Keith Preston, chief editor of AttacktheSystem.com, in an interview with the Balkans Post.
