Nexus X HumectressI concur. By William S. Lind Traditional Right The latest cruise missile caracole aimed at Syria was militarily meaningless. A few empty buildings were destroyed, residents of Damascus and Homs lost a couple hours of sleep and honor was satisfied. The only thing missing was Handel’s Musick for […]
If there is one thing anarchists should learn from history, it’s to never trust a commie. At least with fascists, you know where you stand. By J.P. O’Malley The American Conservative October: The Story of the Russian Revolution, China Míeville, Verso, 384 pages. The Dilemmas of Lenin: Terrorism, […]
The changing religious demographics of the United States. I was not previously aware that Christian orthodoxy had experienced this much of a decline. It also appears that in the future Christian orthodoxy may be the domain primarily though not exclusively of ethnic minorities. The possible political implications of […]
I’m inclined with the argument made in this article. It is likely that the DPRK is now where the Soviets were in the 1980s, i.e. it’s become a matter of reform or die. By Peter Van Buren The American Conservative On April 27, North Korea’s Kim Jong-un and […]
The spectacle of Kanye West running for President as a Democratic black conservative could certainly change the mainstream political landscape…to say the least. By Lee Moran Huffington Post Did Kanye West just confirm his presidential run on Twitter? The self-styled “greatest living rock star on the planet” set […]
By Rebekah Kuschmider YourTango.Com Who is Candace Owens and why is Yeezy tweeting about her? Who is Candace Owens? If you’d never heard of Candace Owens before yesterday you’re not alone. The conservative commentator who’s been called the ‘next Tomi Lahren’ and YouTube star was working her way up the […]
Conservative author George Hawley on why the Left/Right Red/Blue Alt-Right/Antifa tribal civil war is a smokescreen. Economics and social class aren’t the main issues either. Americans largely agree on those issues. My advice to ATS supporters and readers is to avoid being distracted by these “issues,” and keep […]
Washington, DC (April 25th, 2018) – A U.S. Representative posed several pointed questions to the Federal Reserve and the U.S. Treasury this week as to their activities involving America’s gold, including, apparently, efforts to “drive gold out of the world financial systems in favor of the Federal Reserve […]
The Southern Poverty Law Center now attacks religious conservatives and mainstream political conservatives in the same way it attacks white supremacist organizations. The further leftward the wider society, government and culture drift, the more people and groups with “conservative” values will be on the receiving end of such […]
Liberal and left hysteria over “Chick-Fil-A” coming to town is reminiscent of the way the religious right would react to the opening of an adult bookstore or a gay bar back in the day. This article also makes an interesting point about demographics. By Stephen Carter Bloomberg.Com The […]
This is an old article from 20 years ago about the Green Panthers, a group of militant stoners that advocated armed resistance to the “war on drugs,” and the creation of a “stoner homeland” in northern California. This article first appeared around the time that I was starting […]
This Larry Krasner guy sounds too good to be true. But if he’s for real, I suppose it would be an illustration of the possibility of “reform within the system.” The idea that virtually any jurisdiction in the United States comes even remotely close to being “soft on […]
A must watch. A relevant post from a YouTube commentor: “The Assad government may not be all roses and sunshine (And I dare anyone to find me a squeaky clean government, any government), but it is a secular and moderate government. Shiites, Sunnis, Alawites etc. and Christians all […]
A must watch. Former UK Ambassador to Syria Peter Ford joins today’s Liberty Report to share his vast experience in the region. He has notably deviated from the government/media narrative about the alleged Assad gas attack. How likely is it that Assad used gas? Why are inspectors being […]
Really just the USA, with the UK, France, Russia and China as minor leaguers. By Frank Jacobs BigThink.Com Despite talk of American decline, the U.S. still is the world’s only superpower – if by that you mean: the country with by far the biggest military footprint throughout the […]
A reader asks this question: Hi, Keith. I am concerned that a lot [of]anti-imperialists are so used to America being the only and worst empire, that they are blind to foreign powers interested in becoming the next America, in the same way anarcho-capitalists are blind to the possibility […]
By Caitlin Johnstone Medium Isn’t it fascinating how western journalists are suddenly rallying to attack the dangerous awful and horrifying epidemic of “Assad apologists” just as the western empire ramps up its longstanding regime change agenda against the Syrian government? Kinda sorta exactly the same way they began […]
By Elliot Gabriel Mint Press News NEW YORK CITY — The dust had barely settled after last weekend’s U.S.-led bombing of Syria before a split in the political class developed. While some Beltway figures, media personalities and former officials hailed the bombings, others decried the “limited” nature of […]
Surveying the range of opinion that has been expressed on Syria, the positions of various ideological factions seem to be breaking down along these lines. The entire spectrum of the “mainstream media” seems to be cheerleading for the attacks on Syria. Of course, the spectrum from MSNBC to […]
Internationalist Commune of Rojava It’s Going Down The following statement comes from the Internationalist Commune of Rojava, and denounces the recent bombings carried out by NATO forces in Syria, which have been being planned for weeks, and carried out under the guise of ‘humanitarian intervention.’ From the Internationalist […]
This assessment seems fairly on target. By Tom Luongo If there is one thing the last 48 hours have proved to me, it’s this. Donald Trump is no longer acting President. The coup against Trump has been completed. I’m going to keep this simple. Follow the dots and […]
An interview with the Tasnim News Agency. “The attack on Syria indicates that the Trump administration is now fully under the control of the neoconservative-controlled foreign policy establishment, and that any inclination the Trump administration may have ever had toward altering US foreign policy has been abandoned…,” Keith […]
Some refreshing comments from socialist and Russia Today commentator Caleb Maupin. While Maupin is a socialist and I am an anarchist, this was more or less the same position I began taking in the 1990s and 2000s during the anti-globalization and antiwar eras, i.e. that the revolutionary left […]
Some relevant comments from leading Rothbardian libertarian Tom Woods on Syria: “Well, Woods’s Law is on full display these days: No matter whom you vote for, you always wind up with John McCain. It’s as if the President, in his scramble to imitate Jeb! and Graham, forgot that […]
This is an interesting blog with an extensive amount of commentary about Syria. This blogger seems to hold to some kind of anti-Assad, Syrian leftist opposition perspective, and seems a bit soft on Western intervention. One thing I am not getting from this blog is an explanation of […]
The Left dropped the ball and the “far right” picked it up and ran with it. Now the Left is pissed. What did they expect? In the past, I have heard leftists (mostly the “anti-hater” types) talk about how the far right threatened to “take the game away […]
Press TV. Listen here. If the United Sates were to launch an airstrike on Syria, it would certainly escalate the hostilities between Washington and Moscow and even could develop into a direct military confrontation between the two powers, says Keith Preston, an American political analyst in Virginia. Russia […]
Washington, DC (April 13, 2018) – U.S. Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas) has just announced he will introduce a bill to end taxes on capital “gains” that are simply a result of inflation. Cruz’s inflation-indexing bill seeks to “expand economic growth and encourage more investment into the economy, helping […]
Press TV. Hezbollah Deputy Secretary General Sheikh Naim Qassem (File photo) Lebanon’s Hezbollah resistance movement downplays threats of a military action against Syria, ruling out a potential direct confrontation between the US and Russia or a wider war in the Arab country. “We rule out the situation developing […]
This interview is from 2016 but it’s highly relevant to what is going on now. Press TV. Listen here. The US is seeking to further escalate the years-long conflict in Syria through its so-called “Plan B,” in a bid to remove Syrian President Bashar al-Assad from power as […]
This looks to be an interesting new book from a leading antifascist writer (and critic of yours truly). A few of the comments in the description of this book highlight the basis of the ongoing conflict between myself and the anarcho-left/antifa milieu. Disloyalty to the state is a […]
An interesting article from the antifascist side describing the growing split between the anti-imperialist and anti-fascist factions of the Left. By Charles Davis NewPol.Com “An Orwellian destruction of meaning and words — so many absurdities; absurdities stacked on absurdities,” Alexander Reid Ross told me. Fox News had just […]
Thus far, Tucker Carlson has been, to my knowledge, the only mainstream media figure to challenge the System’s narrative on Syria. It’s interesting how the Republican Senator being interviewed said, “If you care about Israel…” the first time he opened his mouth. What if you don’t care about […]
I agree with the author of this article that there’s likely no compromise in the Red/Blue tribal civil war, and that it will likely the Blue tribe that wins with the US increasingly becoming a one-party state under the Democrats. Although I don’t share his optimism about the […]
It’s interesting to see various far left tendencies coming out and saying what I have been saying about the Western Left for years. “Four of the most prominent pseudo-left websites—Jacobin magazine, which is closely connected to the Democratic Socialists of America; Socialist Worker, the online newspaper of the […]
The Stark Truth. Listen here. Check out Decay’s blog, his writings for Brandon Adamson’s AltLeft.com, and Twitter profile. Topics: The Orientation of D E C A Y’s Political Views DECAY’s outlook on human dynamics can be described as “right-wing”, but without […]
Absolutely correct. Ultimately, the battle is not between East and West, which merely represent different wings of the international elite. Nor it is about Democrats and Republicans, which merely represent different wings of the domestic elite. Nor is it about the “far left” or the “far right,” both […]
It is interesting how the state always seeks to capitalize on whatever moral panics are going on at the present time. The biggest moral panics at present are arguably illegal immigration (for the Red Tribe), guns (for the Blue Tribe), opioids and “sex trafficking” (for both tribes). Immigrants […]
By Danny Haiphong Black Agenda Report Independent Journalist Corner: A Conversation with Randi Nord “Anti-imperialism to me means supporting nations in their struggle against my government’s violent and exploitative influence.” This week I spoke with Randi Nord. Nord is a Detroit-based journalist and activist. She is the co-founder […]
Glad to see someone actually notices this. By Zaid Jilani The Intercept n 2004, then-Senator Barack Obama wowed the country with an address at the Democratic National Convention designed to unite the country and tear down partisan divides. “Now even as we speak, there are those who are […]
Some interesting observations from Troy Southgate on why the Left fails through co-optation, and why the Western world is drifting leftward culturally even as state-capitalism is tightening its grip. “The concluding paragraph in ‘Cultures of Post-War British Fascism’ (Routledge, 2015), by John E. Richardson of Loughborough University, in […]
By Aleksey Bashtavenko Academic Composition Republicans and Democrats disagree about the role that the government should play in providing social services. The former insists that it should be smaller and intervene less in the economy. In contradistinction, the latter maintains that the public interest would be better served […]
From a leftist who learned the hard way. I would actually argue that all modern political philosophy is leftist, at least from John Locke onward. So if you’re not a throne and altar traditionalist, a religious theocrat, or a revolutionary rightist (fascist, national socialist), then you’re a leftist. […]
A self-managed, libertarian penal system? That sounds like something right out of the ARV-ATS program. By Jo Griffin In a country where jails are seen as ticking timebombs, a system of self-rule among inmates has proved a striking success Renato Da Silva Junior was convicted of homicide five […]
The Ludwig von Mises Centre has established a new discussion board. A discussion of Modern Monetary Theory is already going on. Check it out here. This should be an opportunity for some interesting dialogue.

Jeffrey Tucker responds to Goofy Gillis. By Jeffrey Tucker American Institute for Economic Research William Gillis’s review of my book Right-Wing Collectivism is complimentary but critical on many points and mainly on one central point to which he continually returns. He believes that my focus on state power […]
Goofy Gillis reviews Jeffrey Tucker. By William Gillis Center for a Stateless Society There are few figures the alt-right hate more than Jeffrey Tucker — which may be something of a plot twist, given his alleged hand in the racist Ron Paul newsletters of the 80s. Yet Tucker […]
My assessment of the Trump presidency thus far. By Keith Preston When Donald Trump’s seemingly maverick presidential campaign began to accelerate in 2016, both the Left and Right in domestic U.S. politics began to formulate predictable reactions almost on cue. Virtually the entire spectrum of the American right-wing, […]
