Nexus X HumectressThe bad news is that lots of people will die. The good news is that it will hasten the demise of the system. By Pat Buchanan The American Conservative With Hillary Clinton scrambling to explain her missing emails, much of America is wailing, “Please don’t make us watch […]

This article by Spencer Sunshine of Political Research Associates (led by “former” Stalinist Chip Berlet and funded by the Ford Foundation. representatives of the left-wing of capitalism) is well worth reading because it’s an excellent illustration of the pathology, paranoia, and hypocrisy that dominates the particular strand of […]
By Kevin Carson Center for a Stateless Society I normally associate terms like “treason” and “sedition” with right-wing know-nothings like the American Legion. So it’s eye-rollingly painful, in cases like the letter to Iran from Tom Cotton and 47 other Republican senators, to hear self-described progressives seize on […]
Rothbard’s classic 1965 essay, “Left and Right: Prospects for Liberty,” is a must read for anarchists, libertarians, anti-statists, and decentralists of any species. This essay as much as any other really defines the historical context and trajectory of our common fight, irrespective of our other differences. By Murray […]
An interesting discussion of right-libertarianism by the late Jonathan Bowden and Richard Spencer. Leftists will be happy to know that as an actual hard rightist, Bowden places conventional libertarianism firmly on the right arguing that it’s to the right of even fascism on economic issues. It’s interesting to […]
By Paul Marks Libertarian Alliance The Soviet Union was not a perfect socialist country – for example about 3% of farm land was owned by individuals (the other 97% was socialist – either state owned or owned by “collectives” – i.e. the state by another name). However, the […]
A fantastic piece by Carson. Paul Marks’ rebuttal representing “the other side’s” point of view is worth reading as well. By Kevin Carson Libertarian Alliance/Center for a Stateless Society As a libertarian masochist who keeps up with the regular by-the-numbers attacks on libertarianism at Alternet and Salon, I […]
The torch of civilization is being passed to the East, as the BRIC Axis rises and the West descends into stagnation and tyranny. Russia Today Russia’s President Vladimir Putin (L) shakes hands with China’s President Xi Jinping. (Reuters/Kim Kyung-Hoon) The strategic ties between China and Russia are mutually […]
The imperialists will not tolerate resistance anywhere. Based on my conversations with American and Canadian expatriates living in Latin America, I’m increasingly leaning towards the view that Central and South America are becoming the bastions of freedom (relatively speaking) in the Western hemisphere, while North America continues its […]
Apparently, it will be if Chris Hedges has his way. It’s interesting how hysteria over sex trafficking is slowly replacing the war on drugs as the dominant form of moral panic, and substantial sectors of liberalism and the Left are completely complicit or even leading the charge. Look […]
Interesting seeing a headline like this in the voice of the ruling class. Many Fernandez New York Times John Jarnecke, 72, president of the Republic of Texas, at his home in Fredericksburg, Tex. The group’s Valentine’s Day meeting in Bryan, Tex., was raided by local, state and federal law […]
Interesting. It looks like even sectors of both the left and right wings of the ruling class are concerned that the police state and prison industrial complex have gone a bit overboard. The right is apparently concerned about impending fiscal bankruptcy, and the spillover of state repression into […]
This book is one of the very best I have seen to date that critiques the U.S. criminal justice system. What’s ironic is that the author was neither an anarchist nor a libertarian, or even a leftist or liberal. He was a conservative Republican and an evangelical Christian. […]

Sean Gabb joins Caity and Dan for a third time for a fascinating conversation around the topic of classical liberalism. We begin by discussing classical liberal ideas going back to ancient Greece and being hard-wired into western European thought and how this can be shown in fairy and […]
A highly relevant observation from “Kubrick Guy” at the Libertarian Alliance. “Where Libertarianism is going wrong IMHO, is that we have many discussing the finer theoretical, economic, academic and philosophical aspects of Libertarianism and few people actually politically active prepared to engage with the electorate, knock on doors […]
In case anyone doesn’t know, this quote is from President Eisenhower. So was Joe McCarthy correct when he accused Ike of being a pawn in the Communist Conspiracy? What turds the Republicans have become under the combined leadership of the arch-imperialist/Israel-first neoconservatives and the militarist/corporatist “movement conservative” ideologues. […]
By Robert Lindsay Benjamin Maggi, an Argentine, wrote the comments in italics below. I respond after the italics. Little of what Benjamin says is true. Chavez himself plotted a coup to overthrown the government in the late 90’s Now that is true, but he was arrested and put […]
Paul Marks of the Libertarian Alliance offers these comments in response to my earlier piece, “A Critique of the State of Libertarianism.” : A bit “inside baseball” – but there is some practical stuff here that interests me. No – nobody I know regards 19th century Britain or […]
An interesting critique of anarchism. It’s important for ideologues and ideological writers to fairly acknowledge or confront weaknesses in their own positions. Btw. TheRightStuff.Biz has a lot of interested, irreverent commentary that’s well worth checking out. By Ghoul TheRightStuff.Biz Let’s talk about anarchy for a moment. Which kind […]
An example of why it is essential for anarchists to insure that “anarchist rule” will be fair and tolerant. By Alex McDonald Middle East Eye Foreign volunteers fighting the Islamic State (IS) are leaving the Kurdish People’s Protection Units (YPG) and joining other militia’s due to the group’s […]
By Jesse Walker Reason Reason has obtained the federal government’s recent report on the sovereign citizens, a largely unorganized subculture whose elaborate legal theories say they do not have to follow most laws. Members of the movement are infamous for filing nuisance lawsuits, making their own drivers’ licenses […]
An interesting question that no one ever seems to ask is this: How is it that on one hand we are treated to a never ending series of hysterias over someone having said a bad word pertaining to race, gender, homosexuality, or some other inflammatory topic, and yet […]
Michelle Alexander, highly acclaimed civil rights lawyer, advocate, Associate Professor of Law at Ohio State University, and author of The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness, delivers the 30th Annual George E. Kent Lecture, in honor of the late George E. Kent, who was […]
By Ruth Wilson Gilmore Social Justice Journal by Ruth Wilson Gilmore* After declining for three consecutive years, the US prison and jail population increased in 2013. The widely declared victory over mass incarceration was premature at best. Below I raise four areas of particular concern about the state […]
PJMedia.Com An ISIS e-book on how to accomplish their caliphate goal of sacking Rome stresses enlisting “the Islamic State’s secret weapon = secret white converts” to take on Italy. Much of the book, “Black Flags from Rome,” is dedicated to laying out a case for why Muslims in […]
By Graeme Wood The Atlantic Reuters/The Atlantic My cover story in The Atlantic’s March issue asked, as simply as possible, What does ISIS believe, and what are its ideological roots? I read every ISIS statement I could find, including fatwas and tweets and road signs, and I front-loaded […]
Franks Schaeffer presents an interesting historical narrative, but the question I always have for professional critics of the “religious right” is this: If the religious right is so powerful, why have they never scored any serious victories on any of their major issues in thirty-five years as a […]

We chat about the propaganda ‘docudrama’ UKIP – The First 100 Days and what an absurd vision it promotes. We talk about UKIP generally and their policies and why we’re not UKIP supporters, the EU, the Scottish independence referendum and how the UK mainstream media try to shut […]

Add to this respect for the associational, religious, economic, property, privacy, free inquiry, free speech, and due process rights of others, and they just might have something.
A good article on ISIS, its ideology, and objectives. By Graeme Wood The Atlantic The Islamic State is no mere collection of psychopaths. It is a religious group with carefully considered beliefs, among them that it is a key agent of the coming apocalypse. Here’s what that means […]
Some thoughts I originally posted in an online discussion concerning the various libertarian by-ways” There’s a big rivalry right now between the paleolibertarians, left-libertarians and “mainstream” LP/Cato/Reason type libertarians. The paleos and the leftists view the latter tendencies as establishment brown-nosers, and the mainstreamers view the radicals as […]
Somehow I can’t really picture these folks overthrowing any actual governments. By David Weigel “I’m on that f*** Jim Crow flow,” says Matthew La Corte. “I’m Thoreau meets Van Gogh after doing three lines of blow.” It’s Saturday night—Valentine’s Day, if you want to make an easy joke out […]
By Kevin Carson Center for a Stateless Society One of the grievances of the so-called GamerGate movement last August was an article by Dan Golding titled “The End of Gamers” (August 28, 2014). The title referred, not to the literal extinction of gamers as individuals, but of the […]
There is no one whose cultural leftist credentials are more impeccable than Peter Tatchell. One question the “social justice warriors” never seem to be able to answer is exactly how much “social justice” do we need? Already, in most Western countries, people who express even the most casually […]
The big question that divides socialists and free marketers concerns the nature of markets themselves. Are markets merely a means to peaceful cooperation and exchange between human beings? Or do markets merely involve predatory competition between self-interested individuals seeking to maximize profitability at all costs? My answer: Obviously […]
By William T. Hathaway A former student of mine works as a janitor. After graduating from college he worked as a market researcher and an advertising salesperson, but both jobs soured him on the corporate world. He hated being a junior suit, and the thought of becoming a […]

By Keith Preston In the essay, “Liberty and Populism: Building an Effective Resistance Movement for North America,” written in 2006, I made the following observation: Ultimately, we may at some point be able to combine the Green, Libertarian, Populist, Constitution, Natural Law and other minor parties into a […]
