Apparently, the C4SS crowd is now being attacked by rival leftists for being associated with “fascists,” with yours truly being among the primary exhibits in favor of the prosecution. And the accuser is none less than Max Blumenthal, son of former Bill Clinton advisor Sidney Blumenthal. I have […]
The Russian Bear is the Wizard of Oz, and Putin is the man behind the curtain. The Russophilia of the far left/far right and the Russophobia of the center left/center right is pathetic. My own geopolitical outlook is more like that of the classical anarchists of the late […]
This is a pretty good discussion of Gabbard. From what I can tell, she’s basically just a moderate who trends liberal on social issues, who is pro-military, pro-Israel, and pro-terror war but who merely thinks the neocon/neoliberal foreign policy paradigm is insane (which it is), largely from her […]
MSN.Com Iran’s foreign minister called for the United States to release Press TV anchor Marzieh Hashemi in comments carried on the website of state-run IRNA news. Iranian state-funded Press TV reported Wednesday morning that Hashemi, a journalist born in the United States as Melanie Franklin, was detained in […]
Berniebro Kyle Kulinski on the divide between the neocons and paleocons. I generally agree with Kulinski’s analysis here.
Keith Preston, director of the Attackthesystem.com “The arrest of Marzieh Hashemi is clearly an effort to silence voices that speak in opposition to the policies of the American government, and to intimidate others to prevent them from speaking. Marzieh Hashemi is being used as a hostage for the […]
The United States’ partial government shutdown drags into its fourth consecutive week as President Donald Trump and Democrats fail to settle their scores over funding a border wall. The stalemate has led to the closure of at least 25 percent of the federal operation since December 22. Air […]
Government shutdown highlights issues that 78% of workers live paycheck to paycheck, research shows affluent Americans barely recognize US income gap, lawsuit by families of Sandy Hook victims against Alex Jones advances, Alex Jones IS the crisis actor, man accused of killing brother with a sword, lizard people, […]
By Nicky Reid aka Comrade Hermit Exile In Happy Valley Solidarity is the guiding principle for any egalitarian philosophy. The basic idea is that all oppressed people face the same enemy and the only way any of us can defeat our collective oppressor is with the collective force […]
The speaker of the US House of Representatives says the Democrats have a better idea to improve the country’s border security and eventually end the prolonged government shutdown. Nancy Pelosi added that it is now up to President Donald Trump to make the next move to end the […]
An immensely important essay given the current controversies. “It seems as if the time has come to abandon terms like open and closed borders in favor of decentralized borders. We imagine a free society with decentralized borders would consist of a mixture of open borders, closed borders, public […]
Another recent interview on Syria as well. Watch here. https://www.presstv.com/Detail/2019/01/05/584955/Trumps-Abrupt-Decision This edition of the program is about Trumps decisions about USs military presence in Syria and Afghanistan and the challenges hes going to face in 2019. The implications of Trumps Syria pullout decision are discussed. […]
All the crazy things corrupt public officials bought with your money this year, IRS plans to take taxpayer money but not issue refunds during shutdown, hundreds of TSA screeners working without pay call in sick at major airports, former Manson follower granted parole, driver arrested for testing positive […]
A very important read. Absorb every word of this. By Nicky Reid aka Comrade Hermit Exile in Happy Valley This holiday season was unusually kind to the anti-imperialists among us. Trump shocked the world the week before Christmas by actually putting America first for a change and calling […]
Today I will be joined by Keith Preston for our fourth and final installment of Pan-Anarchism to discuss the hard question of national defense.
My reading of the history of the 20th century is that Capitalism, Communism and Fascism were merely different points on the same triangle that deserved each other. All three were responsible for tens of millions of deaths.
It’s interesting how even the leadership of the military caste has bought into the System’s ideology of combining imperialism and neoliberal economics with cultural leftism. Careerists will be careerists, I guess. Mattis and McChrystal: “We gotta make sure the wine and cheese crowd will buy our books and […]
By Jerry Taylor Niskanen Center When we launched the Niskanen Center in January 2015, we happily identified ourselves as libertarians. Sure, we were heterodox libertarians, but there are many schools of libertarianism beyond those promoted by Charles Koch’s political operations. The school we identified with was a left-libertarianism […]
Press TV. Listen here. The United States, Israel and Saudi Arabia are looking for ways to challenge Iran’s influence and Washington’s campaign of sanctions against Tehran helps them fulfill that objective, an American analyst says. Keith Preston, director of Attackthesystem.com, said the sanctions were designed to put Iranian people […]
For those who are interested in the philosophies of anarchism, this is a damn good episode of The Brilliant. Myself and ATS are mentioned at various times as well. The Brilliant-Episode 90. Listen here. —————————————— This is the last episode of 2018. In 2019 along with the Brilliant […]
US security forces have engaged with migrants at the country’s southern border with Mexico. US border patrol agents used tear gas to keep the group from approaching the crossing line. The recent deaths of two immigrant children in U-S custody have piled pressure on President Donald Trump for […]
A predictable shit show. I love political fractiousness. Virtually none of the contending factions associated with the present political/culture war paradigm have any relevance to the pan-anarchist position. All of them are groups that seek control of the state or seek to solicit favors from the state. The […]
A pro-free speech progressive vs an antifa on free speech. I am actually somewhere between these two guys. I am all for violence against the state (when tactically appropriate) but opposed to either censorship/deplatforming of mere expression of opinions or violence against other political groups that are against […]

By Nicky Reid aka Comrade Hermit Exile in Happy Valley Every year since I started this blog I’ve written a Shitlist of all the cunts who drive me to near homicidal ideation. And every year since I started this blog I’ve countered that poison pen cocktail with a […]
As I have long said. This is entire thread is worth reading as it contains much interesting statistical data. Check it out here.
As I have said many times. And as Max Stirner observed, “Our atheists are very pious people.”
Alt-Right leader Richard Spencer debates Marxist-Leninist-Maoist-Third Worldist Jason Unruhe.
Will the rise of Generation Z mark the death of SJWism? Is the PC/SJW/Antifa phenomenon simply the final stage in the backlash against the “old world” that existed before the cultural revolution of the 1960s and 1970s, and which has now become status quo? It is necessary for […]
The foundation of anarchism should be a commitment to anti-authoritarian values generally, not just opposition to “right-wing authoritarianism.” Far too many anarchists are simply “conventional progressives, minus the state” and even the anti-statism of many “anarcho-social democrats” is questionable. Left-wing authoritarianism has been a plague on radical movements […]
History repeating itself as a tragedy and a farce. The principal weakness of most contemporary anarchists is their failure to recognize that any set of values can be turned toward authoritarian ends, not just conservative ones, and any kind of group can act in an authoritarian manner, not […]
After 17 years and a series of failed wars, the number of Sunni fundamentalist terrorists is larger than it was in 2001. By William S. Lind Traditional Right An article in the November 21 New York Times revealed two aspects of our ongoing strategic failure in Fourth Generation […]
Press TV. Listen here. The UAE’s reopening of its embassy in Syria and the US announcement that it will withdraw its forces from the country reflect the failure of plots targeting the government of Syria’s President Bashar al-Assad, says an American analyst. “What has happened is that over the past […]
By Keith Preston Recently, a reader of Attack the System offered the following questions and comments: “Keith Preston, Why do you and other radical, ostensibly libertarian anti-war types, leap to the defense of the authoritarian BRICS countries, anti-propertarian movements in Latin America, Duginist shills, and other slave-minded untermensch?

Todd Lewis is joined by Keith Preston for part 3 of our series on Pan-Anarchism. Today’s topic will be what would life be in an anarchist society.
Canada has called for the immediate release of two of its nationals detained in China. Canadian Foreign Minister Chrystia Freeland called the detentions arbitrary and a source of deep concern. The two were detained after Canada arrested chief financial officer of Chinese tech giant Huawei in Vancouver. Freeland […]
Press TV. Listen here. he United States is planning to add Ukraine into the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) as part of its plan to encircle Russia, an American political analyst says. Keith Preston, director of the Attackthesystem.com, made the remarks while discussing Washington’s decision to provide an […]
The consensus of opinion among the Important People is that Trump’s withdrawal from Syria and Afghanistan is a blunder, which means that Trump’s move is obviously correct. The Guardian is refreshingly sensible. By Trevor Timm The Guardian Donald Trump unexpectedly announced that the US would be pulling its […]
Some very good class analysis from Denis Rancourt. By Denis Rancourt Dissident Voice Thanks to the Gilets jaunes in France, a few astute social theorists are finally being heard on YouTube, despite mainstream resistance and diversion. They are finding words more lucidly than could be achieved in the […]
A recent interview. This is a bit long, over two hours.
Scott Horton is interviewed by Tom Woods. Predictably, this is the best overview and discussion of Trump’s withdrawal from Syria so far, including a discussion of Rojava and Chomsky’s endorsement of US intervention on behalf of the Kurds. Listen here. ——————————————————————— Scott Horton joins me to discuss the […]
