Nexus X HumectressThe best response to the Trump campaign from the Left that I’ve seen to date. This is a must read, and a reminder of why Counterpunch is one of the few leftist forums to take their anti-imperialist seriously. This article is an almost perfect critique of the Left […]
By Glenn Harlan Reynolds Washington Post Glenn Harlan Reynolds is the Beauchamp Brogan Distinguished Professor of Law at the University of Tennessee. He blogs at InstaPundit.com. If there’s strong evidence that you’ve committed a crime, there’s still hope. Despite the evidence, those responsible for convicting you may choose […]
A debate between Walter Block and Robert Wenzel hosted by Tom Woods. I found myself generally agreeing with Wenzel in this. Listen here. When libertarian scholar Walter Block announced the creation of Libertarians for Trump, he generated a good deal of controversy. Now he explains his support for […]
The crack in the PC Coalition gets wider. This is awesome! Hopefully, the party conventions this summer will resemble Chicago 1968. Street fighting between Clintonistas and BLM, and between Trumpians and Neocons, would be beyond awesome.
Most liberal, progressives, and social democrats hold up the Scandinavian countries as their models. But are these really the paradises their admirers make them out to be? Tom Woods and his various guests in these podcasts think not. In these systems, not only do ordinary folks pay income […]
If anything, class divisions should be wider in the blue states because the upper classes in those regions are generally wealthier, and there’s also a larger upper middle class. In Vermont, for example, disparity between social classes is growing at as fast a rate as any other state. […]
This is a good discussion of the minimum wage. Apparently, the folks against C4SS have contending views on this issue. See Cory Massimo vs. Kevin Carson. AM 770 KTTH radio host Ben Shapiro and Seattle City Councilwoman Kshama Sawant, along with others, engaged in a civil discussion about […]
On this week’s episode of The Empire Files, Abby Martin interviews American political figure Ralph Nader about the 2016 presidential race—from the “Brown Shirt” Trump movement to “corporate criminal” Hillary Clinton—and the reality of who has power in America. Known for his widely-popular presidential run in 2000, he […]
Over at the Inferno: my latest love letter to the kind of “peacekeepers” nobody needs. Excerpts: Ostensibly formed as a global peacekeeping organisation in the wake of World War II, the United Nations, or U.N., has, over time, made it clear that the peace it means to impose […]
Contra Chomsky, I’d argue Hillary is just as awful as a neocon which is why many neocons have moved in her direction. By Joseph Mulkerin Truth-Out Ever since the 2012 election results were certified, the conventional wisdom has been that Hillary Clinton is all but guaranteed a coronation […]
Chomsky makes his case against for Hillary as the lesser of the evils (mostly on anti-neocon and environmentalist grounds). Renowned political theorist Noam Chomsky is often cited for his criticism of the US political system. In the second of a special two-part interview, Chomsky sits down with Mehdi […]
This has to be one of the stupidest left-wing articles I have ever read, but it illustrated very well what is wrong with democratist thinking. Anyone who believes the state is merely a value neutral social umpire probably believes in Santa Claus somewhere along the way. By Philip […]
An interesting debate between free market libertarian Steve Horwitz and Rawlsian liberal Jeffery Reiman. Wealth inequality is real, but is it fair? The distribution of wealth in America is lopsided in the favor of the 1% – a point made by the video “Wealth Inequality in America.” This […]
This is some months old now, but this is a really good overview of Chomsky’s thinking, and this criticisms of U.S. imperialism, neoliberalism, and his case of libertarian socialism.
Tom Woods interviews a climate change dissident. Listen here. To call any aspect of the climate change orthodoxy into question is to risk being condemned as “anti-science.” But are the arguments and computer models of the so-called mainstream really so rock solid? About the Guest Chip Knappenberger is […]
This is interesting in that Chomsky goes into a great deal of detail explaining why he thinks Trump is extraordinarily awful, but then concludes that Ted Cruz is even more dangerous.
Chomksy’s interpretation of Leninism was relatively similar to Rothbard’s. Too bad they didn’t get along.
Tom Woods interviews Mark Thornton on the economics of the illegal drug market. Listen here.
By Kitty Stryker Harlot Media While the plight of the survivors of trafficking are brought up in modern discourse around whether or not sex work should be legal or good for women, little actual space is given for survivors to come forward and share their stories. Mercedes is […]
This article is two months old, so some of its discussion of the presidential contest is a bit dated. But I tend to agree with the author’s general argument, i.e. that Sanders is actually the least state-centric of the presidential candidates (a very low standard, to be sure). […]
By Ben Swann Truth in Media Donald Trump has been making headlines saying that, if elected, he wouldn’t just go after terrorists—he would kill their families. And while the media has been shocked by this, why weren’t they outraged when President Barack Obama actually did? This is a […]
If the LP continues to grow in this manner, then it may be an excellent for pan-anarchist/pan-secessionist entryism. By Barry Donegan Truth in Media The unexpected, meteoric rise of celebrity presidential candidate Donald Trump has torn the Republican Party asunder, causing many leading GOP politicos that once represented the […]
Gary Johnson goes liberaltarian. The crap that’s been coming from the Libertarian Party in recent elections with characters like Johnson, Austin Petersen, Bob Barr, and Wayne Allan Root supposedly representing “libertarianism” is indicative of why we don’t need a Libertarian Party. Instead, we need a “Pan-Secessionist Meta-Party” or […]
Not so fast, says the latest data. By Seth Abramson Huffington Post On February 27th, Hillary Clinton led Bernie Sanders among African-American voters by 52 points. By March 26th, she led Sanders among African-Americans by just nine points. And today, Public Policy Polling, a widely respected polling organization, […]
Is a serious crack in the PC coalition emerging along racial and ethnic lines? By Sam Dickson Occidental Observer With all the attention on Donald Trump, there has been little discussion of the astonishing rift between Black and Hispanic Democrats on one hand and White liberal Democrats on the other. […]
Non-voters are generally foreign policy non-interventionists, cultural centrists, and economic leftists. By Benjamin Wallace Webb The New Yorker merican elections are peculiar instruments of democracy, because they are so consistent in whom they leave out. In the past three Presidential elections, about forty-five per cent of those eligible […]
In the two videos above, Connor Kilpatrick, a Marxist writer from The Jacobin, takes on well-known vulgar libertarians Austin Petersen and Wayne Allan Root. I disagree with Kilpatrick on a number of points. He’s painting libertarianism with a pretty broad brush. However, the objections he raises to “vulgar […]
Bill Lind on why the GOP is merely the right-wing of totalitarian humanism. By William S. Lind Traditional Right From Washington a panicked Republican Establishment is denouncing Donald Trump as “not a conservative”. The Establishment claims custody of the word “conservative” and with it the right to pronounce […]
Press TV. Listen here: http://www.presstv.ir/Detail/2016/04/04/458965/Keith-Preston-Trump-Iran/ “Donald Trump is in the process of running for president and part of his strategy from a rhetorical level is to simply say as many outrageous things as he can,” Keith Preston told Press TV on Sunday. The recent criticism of the Iran […]
This is a few years old, but it’s an interesting critique of “vulgar libertarianism” from a de facto Marxist perspective. By Connon Kilpatrick Calling yourself a libertarian today is a lot like wearing a mullet back in the nineteen eighties. It sends a clear signal: business up front, […]
An interesting critique of Sanders (and social democracy generally) from an Austrian/libertarian perspective. By Steve Horwitz Foundation for Economic Education Because of Bernie Sanders’s campaign for the presidency, many Americans are asking if “democratic socialism” is possible. Can there be a form of socialism that really includes the […]

By Jon Basil Utley The American Conservative Orlok / Shutterstock.com “We might survive a communist occupation, but not another American liberation,” I heard a Frenchman say in 1948 when I first visited Paris. I thought he must just be a leftist; I was a child and so innocent. […]
Press TV. Listen here: http://www.presstv.ir/Detail/2016/03/26/457712/US-Daesh-Syria-Russia-Obama-Preston “The US would rather have a victory in Syria than for the Assad government to retain power,” Preston says. US President Barack Obama’s pledge to step up intelligence cooperation against the Daesh Takfiri terrorists signals America’s serious concerns about the terror group which […]
By Ryan Ramsey S.D. Liberty When conservatives or libertarians point out that lowering tax rates increases revenue, liberals scoff. You can show them proof, and they won’t listen because they are too vested in their ideology to slow down and accept that sometimes things work a little different […]
By Chris Shaw There seem to be two prevailing views on the particular outcomes of a truly free market mechanism. In the case of right-libertarians, such as Hoppe, we see a belief in a natural tendency toward inequality, where outcomes vary and there will be discrepancies in wealth […]
It has probably never occurred to quite a few anarchists that racial persecution is a bad idea, regardless of the skin colors involved, or that oppression by reactionary Communists is just as bad as oppression by reactionary Fascists. Indigogo.Com
Perhaps everyone should just go their own way? Gods and Radicals The New Right is a Anglo-European intellectual, political, social, and cultural movement gaining influence within Paganism, Polytheism, Heathenism, and the Occult communities. Generally called either ‘proto-fascists’ or ‘crypto-fascists,’ their ideology mirrors many aspects of what we might […]
A step closer to the emergence of the pan-secessionist meta-party. ATS is so ahead of its time, lol. Zero Hedge Submitted by Russell Whitehouse via OrientalReview.org, In this election year, it’s clear that a seismic political shift is rumbling through America. Widespread discontent for the status quo is […]
By Dr. Sean Gabb Libertarian Alliance Here in Britain, the main effect of the Brussels bombings will be to speed passage of the Investigatory Powers Bill. This will require communications service providers to store all our Internet activity for a year, and to make it available to the […]
To ask the question is to answer it. See this discussion at Democracy Now. Western countries have looked the other way while their “allies” among the Gulf states have fueled Islamic extremists. At times, the West has directly or indirectly sought to fuel Islamic extremists as a weapon […]
According to this analysis, Hillary will beat Trump, and Sanders would have an even better chance against Trump. Read the article Eric Grenier’s of CBC News here. What seems to be happening now is something that I have been thinking for a while would happen. I always thought […]
By Camille Paglia Salon.Com This week’s horrific terrorist attacks on the Brussels airport and metro raised the pressure in the already tight U.S. presidential campaign. Candidates of both parties were instantly measured against voter expectations of how a president could and should behave in a similar crisis. Meanwhile, […]
Has Donald Trump opened the door for non-interventionist foreign policy views to enter the mainstream? By William Greider The Nation Let’s admit it. As political provocateur, Donald Trump has a dizzy kind of genius. He feints to the right, then he spins to the left. Either way, the […]
This will be a discussion about the flaws of the Alt-Right. Current distensions, intellectual problems and other flaws in the movement.
