Nexus X HumectressSome observations about the recent election in Greece. First, I am hesitant base any general assessment of Western politics on domestic Greek politics, which is still very much in the mode of mid-twentieth century models of Left and Right. Greek’s communists are Old Leftists, not New Leftists. Their […]
A discussion of the views of Michael Enoch, Greg Johnson, and myself on “Cultural Marxism.” By Duns Scotus Alternative Right by Duns Scotus Recently there has been some discussion about this thing called “Cultural Marxism,” and whether–or how–it exists or not. The discussion began with an article by […]
Dr. Gottfried and I were part of the same panel on the Left and the State at the 2014 H.L. Mencken Club conference. Here is the text of Paul’s presentation. By Paul Gottfried VDare.Com Adapted from Paul Gottfried‘s address to the 2014 H.L. Mencken Club Conference, at a […]
The political realignment I have long predicted is beginning to materialize. On economics, secularism, and (apparently) homosexuality, the National Front is now arguably the most left-wing party in France. By Rachel Halliburton The Spectator The Front National now has the support of a quarter of Paris’s gay voters […]
It is not unreasonable to suggest that the decades ahead will witness the unfolding of a golden age of anarchism. What is the evidence for this? -The most powerful state in the world, the United States, the mother country of the empire, is slowly losing its internal legitimacy […]
It can reasonably be said that the overwhelming majority of liberals, progressives, social democrats, and Marxists would affirm all or most of the following presumptions: -The state is an expression of popular democracy (see Jean Jacques Rousseau) -The ever increasing centralization of institutions is conducive to economic and […]
An interesting proposal from Joe Kopsick. See more here. This is very similar to the concept of a pan-secessionist meta-party that I wrote about in “Liberty and Populism” and that Ryan Faulk has previously suggested with his concept of an “All Nations Party.” As far as pan-anarchist/pan-secessionist involvement […]
These are some comments I recently posted in a social media forum concerning the basics of anarchist theory, and why it is important and helpful. From my readings of the classical anarchist theorists, I don’t know that any of them literally believed in a society with no social […]
As I have written before, the key strategic task for pan-anarchism is to develop a radical centrist position that is libertarian (against the state), populist (framing the conflict in terms of the people vs the elites), and revolutionary (totally rejecting the present state and ruling class). Such a […]
By Joshua Goldberg Thought Catalog Perhaps the most fundamental difference between the political right and the political left is that right-wingers hate other cultures, while left-wingers hate their own culture. Right-wing politics is all about hatred for others; left-wing politics is all about self-hatred. Since both are, at […]
By Justin Raimondo Antiwar.Com The stage is set, the actors have committed their lines to memory, and the curtain is now rising: the Great Iran Debate is on! It’s a war story, as so many of our national narratives are these days, one pitting the President of the […]
This is an extremely important development. If ISIS launches a full-scale invasion of Saudi Arabia, the U.S. would most certainly intervene on behalf of the Saudis. The State would attempt to justify the intervention against ISIS to the American people on the grounds of “We’ve gotta have oil! […]
By Michael Enoch Libertarian Alliance RightStuff.Biz It seems rather odd in this day and age to deny the existence of Cultural Marxism as an intellectual movement. But it seems that this meme has been gaining traction lately on the left. It was recently the subject of a rather […]
by Keith Preston Libertarian Alliance I generally agree with Michael Enoch’s article, with several qualifications. First, it is indeed problematic to identify as Marxism a theory that is not rooted in economic determinism and the view of class conflict as the defining element of capitalist society. Marx and […]
“The historical record is pretty clear that during the medieval period and even later Protestants, Catholics, and Muslims all engaged in fairly extensive persecutions of their sectarian opponents. In fact, the same thing still happens today in states where religion and politics have not been separated. Much of […]
Neoliberalism and totalitarian humanism converge. “Feminism: Originally a necessary and progressive movement. Today it’s a crowd of attention-starved, hysterical totalitarians masking themselves as progressives, and whose continued screaming existence shows that the movement has destroyed itself with its success. Multiculturalism: All dandy, as long as it is not […]
Great discussion
By Batidan Bantu Alexander Dugin’s The Fourth Political Theory is a highly-inventive and relevant work; its renouncement of Liberalism and, more importantly, its advocacy of a new syncretic framework –a fourth political theory to challenge the premises of liberalism, fascism, and communism– is nothing short of radical. However, […]
In a perfect world, there would be a federation of anarchist organizations, representing many kinds of political and cultural groups with a generally anti-authoritarian orientation (a libertarian Grey Tribe in opposition to the various forces of statism, totalitarianism, imperialism, militarism, corporatism, and fascism). Further, the overarching strategic outlook […]
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 […]
By Frank Serpico Alternet In 1971, shortly after exposing widespread, even systemic corruption amounting to millions of dollars in bribes and illegitimate relationships between the New York Police Department and criminals citywide, I was shot point-blank by a dealer during a buy-and-bust drug operation.

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 […]
We advocates of pan-secessionism do not need to grow or cultivate a constituency of our own. We already have what might be called a “sleeping constituency” of 80 million people. The only question we face is the issue of how to awake this sleeping giant, and get this […]
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.

A very important interview that addresses many of the primary questions involved with pan-secession. Listen here.
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, […]
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 […]
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 […]
By Greg Penglis American Thinker Mark Levin has proposed a series of “Liberty Amendments” to the Constitution through an Article 5 state convention. I have my own set of amendments which I hope to share here and add to the proposed Liberty Amendments. The first involves the resurrection […]
By Drew DeSilver Pew Research Center Federal drug policy is in the midst of a major conceptual shift away from the long, automatic prison sentences and zero-tolerance policies of the “War on Drugs” era. But it’s the states, whose prisons house the vast bulk of U.S. convicts, that […]
By Alex Newman New American Much has been written about the ongoing efforts by globalists and the international establishment to centralize political and economic power. From the European Union, the African Union, and the Union of South American States all the way to the United Nations, would-be transnational […]
This data is about a year old, but the numbers are pretty impressive. Pew Research Center Growing numbers of Americans believe that U.S. global power and prestige are in decline. For the first time in surveys dating to 1974, more than half of the public (53%) says the […]
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 […]
Ralph Nader discusses his approach with libertarians at the Cato Institute. Nader’s idea are lot like what the reformist wing of the ARV-ATS program would look like. Of course, the revolutionary wing would still be there to push the reformists in an ever more radical direction. Cato.Org Featuring […]
I have long believed that the most important role mainstream libertarians can play is in the realm of the legal system, e.g. more libertarian lawyers becoming activist judges, district attorneys, and defense attorneys that reshape the legal system according to much more libertarian values. The U.S. legal system […]
The police state and prison-industrial complex have become so large that state repression has spilled over into the mainstream, rather than remaining on the margins and on the bottom. It’s become costly enough that mainstream liberals and conservatives alike are starting to rethink it all. Interesting. By Erik […]
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 […]
Ultimately, the victory of the resistance necessitates the dissolution of the present imperialist regime’s military and police forces. Towards this end, the growth of dissension, conflict, and low morale within the ranks of both is in the best interests of the resistance. The present conflict between Mayor Di […]
