The State of American Fascism as it was in 2014
The Antifa need not worry about efforts by fringe right-wing cults to impose fascism in America. Fascism is already here. By Radley Balko Washington Post Sometimes, real life can be stranger than parody. This can be particularly true when it comes to the beat we cover here at […]

A likely scenario being that China or Russia would, having depleted their own resources by the late century, […]
Defense and Law Enforcement in an Anarchist Society
By Josh Wiley Cop Block This article is for the irate minority who, like myself, have come to the realization that government, by its nature, constitutes a monopoly on force. Sadly, we live in a world in which there exists at least two classes of citizens: The average […]
NYPD Punishes City by Not Citing, Arresting Citizens as Much. Oh, No!

NYC arrests tumble 66% with NYPD in virtual work stoppage
Is this how we defeat the police state? Engage in massive protests against police brutality, and elect anti-police local officials who will inspire the cops to stand down? These events lend support for the credibility of ATS’s adoption of the “Mailer model” for building localized resistance. D.C. Beacon […]
Overcriminalization

Police turn their backs on Mayor de Blasio during funeral for fallen NYPD cop

Obama Support among Military Plummets to 15 Percent
Excellent! The military predictably tends to be one of the more conservative sectors of U.S. society. The more liberal the political class and the state become, the more disaffection there will likely be within the ranks of the military. An added factor is that the military will be […]
In a Military Embracing Social Change, Troops Increasingly Identify as Independent and Libertarian
This is welcome news.

By J.D. Tuccille Reason Shifts in social attitudes, politics, and […]
Historical Paradigms, Partisan Cycles and the Future of the Anarchist Movement
By Keith Preston Some historians make the credible argument that major historical cycles tend to turn every seventy years or so. For an example of this kind of analysis, see this piece that was written by Steven Yates after the events of September 11, 2001. What this particular […]

Pretty Much Every U.S. Demographic Group Believes Torture Is Justified
It looks like mass democracy is working. By Mark Strauss Expand The good news: For those who are worried that the nation is more divided than ever, there’s finally one contentious issue that a majority of Americans agree upon. The bad news: Most people are okay with the […]
Eyewitness claims ‘people were CLAPPING AND LAUGHING’ at the scene where two cops were killed
I don’t agree with the random murders of anyone, not cops or anyone else, but if this is true it really is an example of fourth generation warfare within the domestic U.S. A Muslim terrorist takes out a couple of the king’s knights and wins the admiration of […]

Eric Garner, American Occupation, and the Decline of Empire

Why Did They Torture?
By Justin Raimondo Antiwar.Com The Senate Intelligence Committee’s report on how the US government tortured detainees at Guantanamo and at secret “black sites” all over the world has focused on how they did it: rectal feeding, hanging detainees by their arms, “stress positions,” beatings, etc. The prurience of […]
Russia and China’s Potential Economic Weapons Against the West
By William S. Lind Traditional Right Just as Germany had its V weapons, the V-1 and V-2, so Washington now has its S weapon. If another country does something we don’t like, Washington hits it with economic sanctions. As Iran’s economy shows, sanctions can do a country quite […]
The Road to Turkdom
By John Robb Global Guerrillas It should be clear to everyone that the economic and political system that replaced feudal agriculture is starting to fall apart. It’s also pretty clear we need a new system, one that can operate at a global scale and fully embrace the potential […]
The Mafia with a Flag
The State is the mafia with a flag. Why does the mafia exist? To control territory, monopolize resources, enrich and protect an artificially privileged elite, exploit subjects, and expand its own realm of power and domination.

Abandoned by the Left

Reflections on the Overthrow of Communism

Shooting the Wounded
I used to think the primary obstacle to the victory of pan-secessionist/fourth generation forces in the U.S. would be America’s massive military-industrial complex. However, the more conversations I have with actual military personnel and the more I observe trends in the military, the less I am convinced of […]
Understanding the Hierarchy of Groups within the Cultural Marxist Schema

Let’s not kid ourselves: Most Americans are fine with torture, even when you call it “torture”

The United States of Torture: It’s Who We Are

Gun Rights Outweigh Gun Control In New Pew Survey

Americans want federal government out of marijuana policy
