The USA is Becoming Latin America in Class Relations
It’s interesting how the US is developing a class system similar to Latin America. I don’t think the reasons for this can be traced to a singular cause. It probably has several dozen causes. It’s also interesting how all the different political factions have their proposed ideal solutions. […]

“Antifa Activists As The Truest Defenders Of Free Speech” a.k.a. “Work Makes You Free”
And the North Koreans are the truest defenders of “democracy,” no doubt, just like “work makes you free.” I am posting this here in order to provide an illustration of the delusional nonsense that regrettably dominates much of the “far left” anarchist milieu (although this guy is arguably […]

President Trump’s Fateful Choice

The Role of Counseling in Preventing Acts of Crime

The real roots of early city states may rip up the textbooks
By Ben Collyer New Scientist The 11,000-year-old Göbekli Tepe was an amazingly complex find Vincent J Musi/National Geographic Creative By Ben Collyer THE emergence of state authority was a logical consequence of the move to settled agriculture, or so we thought.

Does Universal Basic Income Require a State?
By Lexi Linnell Center for a Stateless Society Recently, Vishal Wilde advocated for a universal basic income (UBI) on the grounds that it promotes economic freedom and social justice. Indeed, UBI has long been attractive to libertarians of various stripes. However, this idea suffers from the problem that, […]
Panarchy: Political Theories of Non-Territorial States
An interesting book review. By Vlad Tarko The Independent Review One of the most important and difficult problems in political economy is how to overcome the social and political costs of heterogeneity and enjoy the cultural and economic benefits of diversity. People’s preferences differ on numerous margins, and, […]
Hans-Hermann Hoppe, Libertarianism and the “Alt-Right”
Apparently, Hoppe is still taking the paleo line as far as advancing libertarianism is concerned. I am increasingly skeptical of this idea given that most rightists seem to be tribal-nationalists first and/or cultural traditionalists first, and libertarians at best a distant second (or third, fourth, or not at […]
Secession Is Sweeping the World, and We Should Let It

What is the Ruling Class?
An excellent general introduction to class theory from an anti-statist perspective. By Sean Gabb In delivering this speech, I make no pretence to originality of thought. Everything I am saying today has been said already – usually better, and always in greater detail – by Hans-Hermann Hoppe, by […]
Why there is no way back for religion in the West: David Voas
I suspect this fellow is probably right in the sense that the West will eventually resemble China or Japan, where religion plays only a very marginal social or cultural role. I don’t think that’s good or bad, just a probability. Religion is in decline across the Western world. […]
The Accidental Anarchist: Carne Ross

Who Gets Counted as a “True” Anarchist?
Incessant debate rages among self-proclaimed anarchists concerning who should be counted as a “true” anarchist, with proponents of each of the many kinds of anarchism claiming the right to special recognition of their particular sect. But this would seem to miss the point. The purpose of anarchism is […]

Not Quite What Uncle Joe Had in Mind
Someone should do rewrites of these old Communist speeches using modern leftist rhetoric with all kinds of references to transphobia and microagressions. That would be hilarious. “Party comrades, in our peoples’ struggle against the hegemony of heteronormativity we endured the challenges of infinite microagressions that have been foisted […]

Independence for Catalonia: Yes, but…
Many of these regionalist movements in Europe seem similar to tendencies we have in the US, i.e. either more affluent regions that don’t want to pay taxes to the central government which they view as “too leftist” but have no interest in critiquing state-capitalism per se, or PC […]
What Would the Ideal Anti-State Leader Be?

Adam Kokesh Has a Plan, But is He the Man?

Was Karl Marx Right About Anything?
This is an interesting discussion by Tom Woods exploring the similarities and differences between Marxist and Austrian class theory.

Donald Trump: The Best Friend Anarchists Have Had in a While
My take on Trump is unique because I find myself saying to my liberal friends, “No, he’s not a Nazi. Get over your paranoia.” And I find myself saying to my right-wing friends, “No, he’s not the savior of America/white people/whatever, just a two-bit carnival huckster. Get your […]
How Ron Paul Gets the NFL ‘Take the Knee’ Controversy Wrong
