The Libertarian Olympus

Small Massachusetts Town Fumes Over Proposed Tobacco Sales Ban
I am very to see the outspoken public opposition that emerged in response to this proposal. And it’s not surprising this proposal emerged in the same state that gave us the Salem Witch Trials. The puritans have merely traded in their Calvinist clothing for a new secular, progressive […]

Sorry, But the Grand Jury Got It Right With Darren Wilson

How Often are Unarmed Black Men Shot Down By Police?

Why Darren Wilson wasn’t charged for killing Michael Brown
This gives a pretty good overview of the legalities involved in the Ferguson case from a fairly objective legal experts’ perspective. It’s also fairly consistent with my own amateur analysis of the case. In my view. Wilson was not indicted for these reasons: 1. Unreliable and contradictory witness […]
The Managerial Revolution by James Burnham
By Matt Fortney Assuming you even know who James Burnham is at all, he probably occupies a footnote at best in your mind. A notable political theorist and activist during the mid-20th century, he began his public life as a Marxist and Trotskyist but later transitioned to conservatism, […]
Libertarians, Left and Right
A Facebook reader posted a response to this critique of Libertarianism in Salon by Michael Lind. Says the reader: To me, libertarianism represents the time in old England-portrayed by Charles Dickens, where the poor completely had to fend for themselves when they could not find work. They could […]
Imagine…
Imagine a North American United Revolutionary Front consisting of anarchists from across the spectrum of anarchist opinion, plus sympathetic or allied groups from the left, right, and center: libertarians, communitarians, paleos, populists, progressives, decentralists, greens, socialists, and (non-statist) nationalists.

When are we going to move all of our anarchists offline and out into the street? The seven anarchist Facebook groups listed below have over 100,000 members collectively. When are some innovative anarchist “leaders” going to come along and start building alliances among all the different anarchist factions? […]
Growing Up
By John Jacobi Anarchist Library While most of the anarchist movement consists of fairly young people, I have the privilege of living in a town with many older anarchists. By “older” I mean people in their 30s, but also people in their 40s and 50s (or at least […]

Reform from the Top-After a Push from the Bottom?
Obama’s recent granting of amnesty to illegal immigrants by means of executive order got me thinking about what possibilities there might be in the future in terms of reform from the top. For example, the late, great libertarian Harry Browne ran for president on the LP ticket twice, […]
Twenty-six Things About the Islamic State (ISIL) that Obama Does Not Want You to Know About

Americans Losing Confidence in All Branches of U.S. Gov’t

We’re On Our Way!
The anti-state Grey Tribe is the emerging third force in U.S. politics. Pan-Secessionism/anarcho-populism is our strategy. Pan-anarchism is the militant vanguard.
Antifa and Neocons Unite!
I have long suspected that “left-wing” totalitarian humanism would eventually bend into “right-wing” neoconservatism. After all, the neoconservatives were originally liberals or leftists (often very far leftists) who moved rightward and became “pro-American.” They did so on, first, social democratic and Trotskyist anti-Soviet grounds, and then, after the […]

The Rise of the Grey Tribe
Right now, the most important thing that anarchists, libertarians, anti-state radicals, decentralists, anti-authoritarians, paleos, communitarians, and allied others can be doing is growing the Grey Tribe as a third force in U.S. politics beyond the Red Tribe/Blue Tribe dichotomy. Read the blog post below and then read Scott […]
Rosetta stoning: Social media’s secular Puritans are putting Western civilization on trial
This is an absolute must read. “That this Twitterstorm happened in Anglo-Saxon countries is not a coincidence, and can be traced directly back to the Protestant – and often Puritan – foundations of these societies. A tight-knit 17th century New England Puritan commune, with its “worldly saints” – […]
Sharyl Attkisson vs. Obama’s Police State
The return of “The Plumbers.” As others have pointed out recently, the Obama Democrats are Nixon Republicans under another name (plus some cultural leftism thrown in to pacify potential critics from the Left). The former Trotskyite turned Cold War liberal turned Israel Firster neoconservatives took over the intellectual […]

Kevin Carson vs. Hans Hermann Hoppe

Free speech is so last century: Today’s students want the ‘right to be comfortable’
Anarchists and libertarians should be the foremost critics of this kind of thing. Unfortunately, many of them are among its primary perpetrators. Says one of these moronic students: “‘The idea that in a free society absolutely everything should be open to debate has a detrimental effect on marginalised […]
The Military-Industrial Candidate

Far Rightist Says “Death To America!”
On that at least, we can agree. This is a really interesting talk. This fellow’s worldview and ideology are very much in the vein of classical, eighteenth century, “throne and altar” conservatism. If you were a “conservative” in the late 1700s and early 1800s, this is how you […]
