Nexus X HumectressIf Donald Trump is able to single-handedly undermine both neoconservatism and “movement conservatism,” and subsequently cause the GOP to go down in flames in a general election, he will have performed a valuable service. The right-wing will then have nowhere to go other than to a more radical […]
If this poll is at all accurate it would seem to confirm what I’ve been saying for a while, i.e. that the US has leaped sharply leftward over the past decade, as evidenced by the apparent fact that a self-proclaimed socialist or a woman who personifies 70s feminism […]

An interesting graphic from The American Conservative. Presidents have more latitude in foreign affairs than in domestic policy, and the trend over the past two administrations has been for presidents to be more hawkish than their campaign pledges led voters to expect. George W. Bush promised a “humble […]
I don’t personally have a horse in this race as I am neither a Christian nor a white nationalist, or even a rightist in any conventional sense, but as one interested in ideologies I think this would still make for an interesting debate. By Brock Bellerive In Praise […]
By Radley Balko Washington Post One of the more controversial provisions of the Patriot Act was to broaden the “sneak-and-peek” power for federal law enforcement officials.

By William S. Lind Traditional Right The protestors who took over the aptly-named Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in Burns, Oregon have garnered a fair amount of conservative empathy. Their issue, the Federal government’s ownership of vast tracts of western land, is a legitimate one. As a story in […]
By William S. Lind The American Conservative The fault line in American politics is no longer Republican vs. Democrat nor conservative vs. liberal but establishment vs. anti-establishment. This is an inevitable result of serial failure in establishment policies. Nowhere do we see this more clearly than in the […]

Tasnim News Agency TEHRAN (Tasnim) – An American political analyst said the US Republican party’s recent call on Tehran to stall a prisoner swap with Washington was probably an attempt to sabotage the forthcoming US presidential election. “It would not be at all surprising if the Republican Party […]

This article from World Nut Daily raises an interesting question. It would appear that in regions of the U.S. where the Blue Tribe is especially dominant, there is an effort to fully eradicate references to the traditional American past. Even in the conservative South, there have efforts to […]
This article by Jeffrey Tucker is a similar to this piece I did about a decade ago. By Jeffrey Tucker Foundation of Economic Education Maybe you have noticed the strangely implausible similarities between the cobbled-together platforms of Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump. On the surface, they represent opposite […]

I’ve always argue that the last thing libertarians who want to achieve political success should ever do is position themselves as just another branch of “free market conservatives” preaching bourgeois economics. The failure Rand Paul indicates that, for better or worse, I was probably right. Case in point: […]
What actual socialists think of New Dealer Bernie Sanders. Bill Scher Politico.Com erhaps the most astonishing aspect of the 2016 presidential race is that Bernie Sanders, somehow, has made “socialism” a safe word in American politics. Nearly 100 years ago Socialist presidential candidate Eugene Debs had to campaign […]
An interesting reply to an earlier article by yours truly. By Neil Lock Libertarian Alliance This essay began as a comment on Keith Preston’s “The New Anarchist Movement is Growing,” published here[1]. Soon, though, as I explored some of the ideas of various anarchist sects, it turned into […]

Press TV. Listen here: http://www.presstv.ir/Detail/2016/02/01/448301/Keith-Preston The expanding US military campaign against the Daesh (ISIL) terrorist group in Afghanistan is a cover for Washington to restart the wars in the region and maintain its military presence, a political analyst in Virginia says.

Everyone is talking about the split that has emerged among the Repugnicans between the neoconservative and corporatist elites and the populist-nationalist “base.” But it appears an interesting split is emerging among Democraps as well.

I don’t personally have a dog in this fight. I sympathize with anyone who is in revolt against the U.S. federal system, left, right, or center. Other than that, it’s none of my business how Oregonians organize their own economy or approach to ecological issues. Here’s another piece […]
One of the greatest misconceptions about anarchism is that it is a exclusively or inherently Western ideology. Not so. Historically, there have been anarchist movements in Latin America and in Asia that were as large as parallel movements in Europe and the Anglosphere. Anarchism is able to travel […]

Hopefully. Politico.Com Nothing like Donald Trump has ever hit a major American political party: A blow-dried celebrity gleefully smashing one modern Republican certainty after the other.

Says supposed “anarchist” Spencer Sunshine: “The movement’s beliefs are a grab bag of toxic politics which commonly include: opposition to any restrictions on gun ownership; anti-immigrant xenophobia and Islamophobia; unrestricted use of private and public land; legal strategies of right-wing decentralization; a commitment to completely unregulated capitalism; various […]
There are many things that I admire about Noam Chomsky, but this is absolute crap. That this man is considered the world’s leading exponent of left-anarchism is pathetic. If someone of his stature had spend his career promoting actual libertarian socialism and anti-state radicalism rather than Keynesian liberal […]
