Awakening the Sleeping Giant

Public opinion polls consistently indicate that roughly 1 in 4 Americans, approximately 75-80 million people, are currently sympathetic to secession by their locality or region. The obvious implication of this for those of us who are advocates of pan-secessionism is that we do not need to go out […]

Serpico: I Almost Died for Exposing Police Corruption — Cops Lack Legitimacy and They Must Gain it Back

Libertarian Opposes Secession

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but the growth of pan-secessionism will definitely create some interesting dividing lines. The question of secession is my litmus test. I believe it is what separates true radicals from non-radicals (at least in the USA). The bottom line is that there are […]

Schools of Economic Thought

The Wikipedia entry on the different schools of economic thought gives a pretty good overview of all of these different methods of economic analysis. Many of the various hyphenated forms of anarchism and libertarianism involve sectarian differences between proponents of different economic theories and proposed alternative economic arrangements.

The City-States of America

By Samuel Arbesman We do not really think much about city-states anymore. With the exceptions of such places as Singapore and Hong Kong, the term “city-state” often conjures up the image of Athens or Sparta. However, through a bit of number-crunching of data from the United States Census, […]

Time to Entertain Secession?

Triad Conservative Last month, a highly publicized vote took place in Scotland to decide whether to secede from the United Kingdom.  This vote resulted in some sentiments being exposed in the United States that are also sympathetic to the concept of secession. Newsmax first reported that there is […]

Southern states ‘dumbing down’ country, should secede, secretive progressive journalist group members say

It is somewhat difficult to understand why more liberals, leftists, and progressives do not take this eminently sensible and self-interested position. EagNews.Org WASHINGTON, D.C. – The nation would be better off if Southern states seceded from the union, and Republicans pushing for right-to-work, voter ID laws and other […]

Stormin’ Norman, Decentralist

Norman Mailer’s decentralized, left-conservatism is a lot like what the electoral wing of the ARV-ATS program would be. We need to cultivate an alliance of third parties (and perhaps some maverick Democrats and Republicans) who will begin pursing the Mailer model and strategy in cities all across the […]

No, It’s Not

Fascism is an ideology of statism, imperialism, militarism, totalitarianism, and the cult of leadership. The Wikipedia entry on fascism is actually pretty accurate. Fascism is the polar opposite of anarchism, antithetical to everything ATS is about, and something to be guarded against. That said, the vulgar Marxist interpretation […]

March of the Hypocrites

By Justin Raimondo Antiwar.Com It was only natural that “world leaders” would place themselves at the head of the Paris “unity” demonstration held to express outrage at the vicious Charlie Hebdo murders. Daniel Wickham, a student at the London School of Economics, compiled a list of the enemies […]

Conservative Statism

By Roger Hicks The Telegraph It’s generally assumed that statism is a characteristic of the political Left, which the Tory Right is opposed to, but in fact, both the Left and the Right are committed to the STATE and, in their own rather different ways, each as statist […]

Might Over Rights

With the Heart of a Wolf  There is no such thing as “human rights.” Every day, everywhere, people are bleating like wounded lambs about this “right” or that “right” being infringed upon by some new horror, some tyrannical or fascist oppressor that seeks to take away their precious […]

Hot Air and the Paris Atrocities

By Dr. Sean Gabb Libertarian Alliance For the avoidance of doubt, I will begin by saying that the murders this week at Charlie Hebdo were a barbarous crime, and deserve the strongest punishment allowed by law. This being said, the smug chanting of the politicians and media people […]

On Revolutionary Consciousness
