Nexus X HumectressThis article provides a pretty good overview of why the antiwar movement is so tiny and ineffectual. The antiwar movement of the early 2000s was a cover for an anti-Republican movement, that quickly disappeared when Barack Obama was elected, even if there were no substantive changes in US […]
This Smith guy sounds like a weenie and a crybaby, although I’m not a huge fan of Sargon’s centrist “conservative libertarianism,” either. By Andy Ngo Areomagazine.Com Sparks flew at the 2017 MythCon conference on Saturday when British YouTuber and cultural critic Carl Benjamin, aka Sargon of Akkad, exchanged […]
Tom Woods and Stefan Molyneux discuss many of the cliches libertarians find themselves having to answer, involving child labor, labor unions, monopolies, the environment, and more. Listen here. I generally agree with the content of this discussion, except, like most mainstream libertarians, they’re going far too easy on […]
How times have changed. The real danger turned out to be not a Reagan/Falwell “fascist theocracy” but but a PC “leftist” secular theocracy. Nowadays, it’s guys like Dave Rubin who have picked up the torch from Frank.
I think I would take the opinion of a guy who was wounded fighting with the anarchist militias in Spain over our present day “anti-fascists.”
Apparently, there is a new form of anarchism developing that is a hybrid of post-left anarchism and anarchism without adjectives called “black anarchism,” not to be confused with another kind of “black anarchism” associated with African-American anarchists. This tendency has been described to me as “like how you […]
In the spirit of Paul LaFargue and Bob Black. This is precisely the kind of libertarianism we need, not bourgeois priggishness or woke ninnyism. Critics: “But freedom will make people lazy and decadent!” Response: “Yeah? What of it?” Anarcho-Dictator Without all the taxes and regulations that force people […]
The Left as it should be. In many ways it is defamatory of the historic Left to refer to the trash that passes for “leftism” today as actual “leftism.” Today’s “left” consists of two basic wings. One is the mainstream Democratic Party center-left. This “left” is rooted in […]
What’s most interesting about this presentation is that these guys admit that “fascism” is a very small, marginal, and unpopular tendency in mainstream society. And yet it’s somehow a grave threat to civilization. Being an “anti-fascist” in 21st century Western civilization is about as sensible as being a […]
From Ancaps and Ancoms, to Syndicalists and Individualists, Mutualists and Agorists, Voluntaryists and Market Anarchists, Panarchists and Anarchists without Adjectives, and other self-identified radicals – this talk is aimed at those who are against Authoritarianism, Statism, and Oppression in all forms. This talk is aimed at those who […]
Dave Rubin is interviewed by Tom Woods. Listen here. Rubin talks about how the Left has become a totalitarian monolith, while conservatives and libertarians are now the free speech/diversity of ideas camp. I’d argue that this is because the Left is an ascendant force, and the Right is […]
Some more interesting comments from Dick Moore. I would agree that US imperialism at present is far more pernicious than anything the Russians or Chinese are currently doing. For one thing, it has a much, much wider reach. Russia’s present foreign policy is a traditional Russian foreign policy, […]
Some interesting comments from “Dick Moore” on Facebook. I wanted to write a little bit about the question of ‘social services’ provided by the State as alleged ‘alternatives’ to for-profit systems. To start with I will admit (as more sophisticated libertarians do) that really-existing capitalism and its major […]
When Trump was running for President, I predicted that he would govern about like a moderate Republican in the Nixon-Rockefeller tradition, or as a centrist Democrat in the style of Bill Clinton. Apparently, I was right. It’s rather embarrassing that so many in the various “anarchist” camps have […]
Kotkin’s class analysis, his recognition that progressives are just as bad on class issues as conservatives, and his stating the obvious fact that racial demagoguery is a bad idea are all spot on. However, he seems to retreat into a naive civic nationalism that’s likely to prove increasingly […]
This is an interesting analysis of Roy Moore’s defeat from CNN. Some of this polling data would seem to bear out what I have been saying for quite some time. For around 15 years, I have been arguing that conventional “right-wing” politics of the kind associated with racism, […]
By J.P. Cortez December 13, 2017 (Eagle, Idaho) — A national precious metals dealer has selected four outstanding students to receive tuition assistance from America’s first gold-backed scholarship fund. Beginning last year, Money Metals Exchange, a national precious metals dealer recently ranked “Best in the USA,” teamed up […]
This looks to be quite good. Available at Amazon.Com. This book explores the idea of social class in the liberal tradition. It collects classical and contemporary texts illustrating and examining the liberal origins of class analysis―often associated with Marxism but actually rooted in the work of liberal theorists. […]
By Joe Lauria Consortium News At the end of October, I wrote an article for Consortiumnews about the Democratic National Committee and Hillary Clinton’s campaign paying for unvetted opposition research that became the basis for much of the disputed story about Russia allegedly interfering in the 2016 presidential election on the orders of Russian […]
More creeping Stalinism. By Elizabeth Nolan Brown Reason Looking forward to a future when federal agents monitor Tinder? We won’t be far off if some folks in Congress get their way. Under a proposal from Rep. Bob Goodlatte (R–Va.), anyone posting or hosting digital content that leads to […]
As a I have long suspected. William S. Lind Traditional Right Those of us who supported President Trump in last year’s election because he promised a less interventionist foreign policy need to be aware of a rising danger. Neo-con influence in the Trump administration seems to be on […]
I get an honorable mention in this, although I am incorrectly identified as a “white nationalist.” If I am being denounced by The Nation and Breitbart within a few days of each other I must be doing something right. I used to think that leftist articles that mistakenly […]
By Jeff Deist Mises Institute Dr. Robert Murphy and I enjoyed a robust discussion of the current political landscape this past weekend at the University of Central Florida. A significant percentage of attendees, maybe half, agreed with the proposition that the US is past the point of political […]
By Trey Goff Mises Institute [Your Next Government?: From the Nation State to Stateless Nations by Tom. W. Bell] When I first met him, Tom W. Bell seemed more like the successful lawyer/entrepreneur type than he did the type of guy to write an intensely well-sourced book synthesizing information […]
Todd Lewis recently told me that a libertarian society might well be an actual civil war between the “fascist” Hoppean militia, the “communist” C4SS militia, with the centrist Walter Blockian milita began attacked by both sides as a traitor for collaborating with the enemy. I suspect Todd is […]
Totalitarian humanism is only the latest manifestation of a more traditional enemy. Ultimately, our enemy is not any one ideology but the state itself, as Albert Jay Nock pointed out. By Sean Gabb Last month, I wrote a defence of Charlie Elphicke, my Member of Parliament. He had […]
I got a mention in Breitbart, lol. Listen to the original interview with Press TV here. U.S. President Donald Trump’s decision to officially recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel renders him the “most pro-Zionist” commander-in-chief to have ever held the high office, declared Iran’s state-controlled news agency […]
Lately, I’ve been reading Michael Schmidt’s and Lucien van der Walt’s “Black Flame: The Revolutionary Class Politics of Anarchism and Syndicalism (Counter Power Vol. 1).” A summary of the book is available on Wikipedia, and a PDF version is available from LibCom. The book can be purchased from […]
Bill Lind’s analysis of the emerging world order is absolutely correct. If I were a statist, I would be taking the exact same position as Bill Lind, i.e. that the main threat that states now face is not each other but the rise of non-state actors and fourth […]
Bill Lind argues that the solution to the recent brouhaha over sexual harassment is a return to Victorian mores. I would make the polar opposite argument,i.e. that present day hysteria over “sexual harassment” is in fact a kind of neo-Victorianism, along with other manifestations of PC, e.g. anti-smoking […]

A great discussion between Gareth Porter and Tom Woods on Vietnam. Listen here. This is a must listen for anyone who is interested in how US imperialism actually works. ——————————————— We’ve all heard the usual arguments: the U.S. government entered the Vietnam War because of the domino theory, […]
By Paul Craig Roberts “Where is the leftwing when we need it” is a question I have asked at times. Some of my readers who confuse the left with Antifa and Identity politics have been confused by my question. Why, they ask, do I want more Antifa thugs […]
An amusing attack on ATS from an antifa writer named Shane Burley who, in keeping with antifa practice, fails get the point. The ATS position has more in common with the fictional United Federation of Planets from “Star Trek” than it would with 20th century totalitarian ideologies, including […]
This is an interesting critique of the perspective of myself and others who favor a broad interpretation of “anarchism without adjectives.” Basically, the argument comes to “anarchism should be exclusive to leftists only” combined with an “anarcho-Sam Harrisism” approach to moral philosophy. By Ekklesiagora Steemit I’m generally not […]
An ongoing dispute between myself and some in the anarcho-communist, syndicalist, and platformist camps has to do with the issue of “anarchism without adjectives.” I define anarchism as the historic human struggle against authority that goes back to ancient times, whereas their perspective defines anarchism as sectarian anarcho-communism […]
Anarcho-Dictator Instead of a Blog Positing for a moment the existence of a national state after the American revolutionary war, what should its attitude toward foreign lands be? I believe the answer is “none.” Jefferson had no business conducting operations against the British in the War of 1812, […]
This is both good and bad news. Bad in the sense that the US empire, the leading killer in the world today, certainly needs to be abolished. Good in the sense that it would probably be best if the US empire was abolished in a way similar to […]
By Ellie Silverman Washington Post William Fears, a white supremacist and neo-Nazi from Houston who is holding the flag, clashes with a counterprotester at the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville on Aug. 12, 2017. (Evelyn Hockstein/For The Washington Post) Charlottesville residents criticized the review of the […]
A summary of the findings of the investigation conducted by a private law firm commissioned by the city of Charlottesville. Assuming this summary is accurate, the findings are fairly consistent with my own observations about Charlottesville. By Gregory Hood American Renaissance Independent report makes an honest effort to […]
An interesting thought experiment: I wonder how many rightists would be willing to give up immigration restriction laws in exchange for total freedom to engage in private discrimination, and how many leftists would give up antidiscrimination laws in exchange for totally open borders. Anarcho-Dictator Instead of a Blog […]
Anarcho-Dictator Instead of a Blog I do not want the police and courts to engage in activities normally approved of by minarchists and some anarchists – such as protecting private property or prosecuting murderers. This is for several reasons: Police are not legitimate representatives of the victims. As […]
Stefan Molyneux (Host, Freedomain Radio) joins Dave to address his controversial outspokenness related to IQ and race, why he is passionate about the topic, why he’s willing to dive into controversy, his book ‘Art of the Argument: Western Civilization’s Last Stand,’ and more.
Stefan Molyneux (Host, Freedomain Radio) joins Dave to discuss why he’s controversial, his views on cutting out abusive relationships and parents, the rise of sexual harassment allegations in Hollywood, his concerns surrounding atheism and religion, morality and ethics, and addresses criticism of being a ‘cult.
