Reflections on Class Relations in State-Capitalist Liberal-Democracies
Modern liberal democratic states are oligarchies of state-capitalist power elites in practice (C. Wright Mills). But they have to afford a reasonable standard of living, level of protection, and quality of life to the middle class in order to maintain their legitimacy. States tend to collapse when they […]

“I found myself turning into an idiot!”: David Graeber explains the life-sapping reality of bureaucratic life
By Elias Isquith Salon.Com David Graeber, a professor of anthropology at the London School of Economics, is a man who wears many hats. He’s an academic, of course — and a respected one at that. But he’s also an author, an activist and political anarchist. But his most […]

Trump supporters just doxxed thousands of anti-racist protesters as part of a disturbing harassment campaign
More of the usual nonsense. The bottom line is that nothing productive will ever be achieved until dissidents and radicals are able to move past the usual left/right, red/blue, Nazi/Antifa, white privilege/Jewish conspiracy, free market/more government paradigms, and recognize that the fight is against a global system that […]
Keith Preston: Who Am I?
This is the transcript of an interview I recently did with a Swiss journal. 1-In your book “Attack the System” you describe the current ideology of the West as a “totalitarian humanism,” yet you claim to be to the left of Marx (I am referring to a statement […]
How Trump’s advisers schooled him on globalism

Keith Preston: US-N Korea war ‘devastating,’ not likely to happen
Press TV. Listen here. US President Donald Trump’s threats of military action against North Korea are “overblown” statement that would never come true, an American analyst says, arguing American military officials are well-aware how “devastating” such warfare would be. Keith Preston, director of attackthesystem.org, made the remarks while […]
The Largest Military Machine in History
Last night, the Senate overwhelmingly approved an $80 billion annual increase in military spending. Trump had asked for just $48 billion. That $80 billion increase in military spending is enough to have satisfied Bernie Sanders’s campaign promise to make tuition free at public colleges and universities. (You may […]
Who is the Aggressor?
Forced Takeover of Catalan Government Institutions by Spanish Police
Liberal democratic capitalism shows what it really thinks of self-determination and political dissent. Thomas S.

Support of the Right of Secession Rises to 40% Among American
By Kirkpatrick Sale LewRockwell.Com While division between both political parties has been accepted as a norm for decades, we have witnessed a level of intensity in 2017 that has dwarfed anything remotely similar in recent American history. While it appears to be boiling over, perhaps many are ready […]

America’s Jews Are Driving America’s Wars
Given the recent exchange on anti-Semitism between anarcho-communist Wayne Price, national-anarchist Sean Jobst and myself, this article from Unz Review and the article from Telos posted adjacently offer two diametrically opposed perspectives on US-Israel relations, Zionism, Jewish power and anti-Semitism. By Philip Giraldi Unz Review I spoke recently […]
Conspiracy “Anti-Zionism”: The Current Face of Judeophobia
Clearly, we need a critique of the US-Israel relationship, Zionist imperialism, and related issues that stands apart from classical Christian and/or Nazi anti-Semitism on one hand, without simply dismissing these things a mere tools of the US ruling class. Instead, we need to develop a more nuanced analysis […]
Keith Preston: Interview with C-Realm Radio

Liberals sick of the alt-left are taking ‘the red pill’
Cracks in the PC coalition continue to show. By Elizabeth Ames FOX News The mainstream media failed to see the rise of Donald Trump in 2016. Now it’s overlooking another grassroots movement that may soon be of equal significance— the growing number of liberals “taking the red pill.” […]
The city hardest hit by Mexico’s earthquake is a sexually liberated matriarchy
Pan-anarchism for Amazons? TheLilly.Com On Thursday, an earthquake devastated parts of Mexico, killing at least 65 people in what President Enrique Peña Nieto called the country’s most powerful tremor in the past 100 years.

More signs point to Mark Zuckerberg possibly running for president in 2020
It could be that Trump has started a trend where the political class, corporate class, and celebrity class are increasingly blended into each other. Also, a Zuckerberg presidential candidacy would be significant in that he represents social and economic forces outside the traditional WASP plutocracy to a much […]
The Establishment Center is the Real Enemy
Some interesting comments from Lorenzo Komboa Ervin posted below. I would agree with much of his analysis, except to say that Trump is not a fascist. He’s more like the Republicans we had back in the 70s like Nixon and Nelson Rockefeller (which is bad enough). It’s possible […]
PRIMO NUTMEG #111: William Schnack

No, It’s Not the Troops Fault
It is politically inappropriate and strategically counter productive to merely denounce rank and file members of the military as hired goons for the state. One of the most important political occurrences that happened in US history was the success of the anti-Vietnam War movement, and the consequent delegitimization […]

Millennials Are Way Poorer Than Boomers Ever Were

Municipalist syndicalism: organizing the new working class
By Alexander Kolokotronis ROAR Mag A municipalist revolution is impossible without the support and cooperation of labor unions. In some cases, labor unions might themselves take the lead in promulgating a municipalist shift. To effectively pursue this path, the left must grapple with the diverse composition and structure […]
Return of the city-state
Political battles of the future will be between the forces of global capital and city-states where non-state actors manage to gain hegemony. By Jamie Bartlett Aeon.Com If you’d been born 1,500 years ago in southern Europe, you’d have been convinced that the Roman empire would last forever. It […]

Keith Preston: Wahhabi elements from Saudi Arabia supported 9/11 attacks
Press TV. Listen here. Although the official US narrative on the September 11, 2001 attacks does not give away the real perpetrators behind the operation, it can be safely assumed that “Wahhabi” elements from Saudi Arabia provided direct support to them, says an analyst in Virginia. Keith Preston, director […]

Listen here. he United States is planning to include Ukraine in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), suggests an American analyst, arguing that the move would separate Moscow and Kiev forever and serve Washington’s ultimate goal of “encircling” Russia. “The relationship between the US and Russia […]
Maybe Abolishing America’s Police Forces Isn’t as Crazy as It Sounds
The Underground Reporter Are police necessary? Although this existential question often produces a knee-jerk ‘of course they are, who would protect us?’ a growing call for the abolition of police — and working examples to back it up — deserves more than scornful dismissal, particularly amid epidemic-level violence […]
How Jeff Sessions and Donald Trump have restarted the war on drugs
Trump goes predictably full Nixon/Reagan on drug policy. Expect a backlash in the future given the racial implications of drug policy and the racially controversial nature of the Trump presidency.. The next Democratic President will likely be the furthest left the US has ever had. Just like Bill […]
What’s the alt-right, and how large is its audience?
Many liberals and leftists that I know are currently in a state of panic over the rise of the Alt-Right, which they predictably regard as the onset of the Fourth Reich. In reality, the Alt-Right is a very small movement that is made to seem much, much larger […]
America’s Changing Religious Identity
An interesting and massive new study on religion and culture. Obviously, the Left has no reason to fear a Christian theocratic takeover of America. By Daniel Cox and Robert P. Jones By Public Religion Research Institute The American religious landscape is undergoing a dramatic transformation. White Christians, once […]
Yes, the Alt-Left Exists and It’s Terrifying
It’s good to see someone from a left-wing background criticizing this stuff, as opposed to making excuses for left-wing totalitarians as overly zealous do-gooders (which was the same apology that leftists typically made for Communism during its heyday). We should remember that a mere 30 years ago 1/3 […]
Battlefield America Is the New Normal: We’re Not in Mayberry Anymore
Once again, John Whitehead shows himself to be one of the most important commentators out there. By John W. Whithead The Rutherford Institute “If we’re training cops as soldiers, giving them equipment like soldiers, dressing them up as soldiers, when are they going to pick up the mentality […]
“They have no allegiance to liberal democracy”: an expert on antifa explains the group
Because they are revolutionary Marxist totalitarians. I am likewise opposed to liberal democracy, but for polar opposite reasons than Marxists, Nazis, or Islamists. Liberal democracy was an important historic achievement, but only in a limited way. The overthrow of the traditional ancient regime model of society by the […]
Here’s the best thing the media can do when reporting on ‘antifa’
The naivete of this writer is extraordinary. There really is such as thing as “left fascism,” and a mere 30 years ago it ruled 1/3 of the world’s nations, sometimes in alliance with right-wing fascists (e.g. the relationship between Franco’s Spain and Castro’s Cuba, Communist support for Peronism, […]
Enough with the blue-baiting: The biggest threat on campus has nothing to do with free speech
There are plenty of examples of universities and colleges imposing de facto censorship on leftists as well as rightists. Some cases in point can be found here, here, and here. I think the problem is more of one where today we have mega-institutions like universities and corporations that […]
The Dark Side of Empathy
I’ve often been accused of lacking “empathy,” “sensitivity,” and all the other usual pieties. To which my response is “Guilty, but Proud.” Here’s why. By Paul Bloom The Atlantic I’m not usually in favor of killing, but I’d make an exception for the leaders of ISIS. I’d feel […]
Two (or More) Sides to Every Story
A Facebook friend has this to say about North Korea: HOW IS IT THAT WE DO NOT FIND IT OBSCENE AND REVOLTING that the USA media openly talk about a murderous military invasion of North Korea, for the sole asserted reason that North Korea wants to develop a […]
Ideology as Addiction
There are an awful lot of people nowadays, many of our “anarchists” as much as anyone, who need to take the message of this piece to heart. What we witnessing today is the proliferation of cults committed to one or another fanatical ideology. Of Two Minds Solutions abound, […]
Fascists of the Left
Some comments from a Facebook friend on Antifa: Just because a group claims to oppose fascism, that doesn’t make their fascistic behavior any less fascistic. Black bloc so-called anarchists train in organized street fighting, wear uniforms which simultaneously shield them from accountability and mark them as an organized […]
