So says a commie critic of anarchism. ANOTHER RADICAL doctrine developed during the period of the 1830s– anarchism.

Keith Preston, the chief editor of AttacktheSystem.com, made the remarks on Wednesday in […]
Mike Whitney Counterpunch Powerful elites are using the credibility of the US Intelligence agencies to demonize Russia and prepare the country for war. This is the real meaning of the “Russia hacking” story which, as yet, has not produced any hard evidence of Russian complicity. Last week’s 25-page […]

By Colette Gaiter The Conversation In the 2016 presidential election, Donald Trump won the white vote across all demographics except for college-educated white women. He did especially well among working class white voters: 67 percent of whites without a college degree voted for him. Some post-election analysis marveled […]
By Tom Engelhardt TomDispatch.Com Know thyself. It was what came to mind in the wake of Donald Trump’s victory and my own puzzling reaction to it. And while that familiar phrase just popped into my head, I had no idea it was so ancient, or Greek, or for […]

Bill McKibben and Alex Epstein square off on fossil fuels — do they make the planet a worse place to live or a better place to live?
Some scientists say the earth’s climate changes constantly and naturally, but the vast majority of them believe the current rise in global temperature is man-made, and could be catastrophic for the planet. But is all this but a case of extreme ‘climate alarmism’? Climate change sceptic Richard Lindzen […]
An assessment of Trump by libertarian-decentralist-populist Bill Kauffman, whose take on Trump pretty much mirrors my own. By Bill Kauffman The American Conservative Gore Vidal once said that the three saddest words in the English language were Joyce Carol Oates. “President Hillary Clinton” would have dislodged the exophthalmic […]
An interesting discussion of this question between Matt Zwolinski (pro) and Tom Woods (con). Listen here.

These ideas might be particularly relevant to the United States where the two-party duopoly is particularly difficult to crack. By David Bollier P2P Foundation It’s an open secret that political parties and “democratic” governments around the world have become entrenched insider clubs, dedicated to protecting powerful elites and […]
An interesting discussion of modern economic history that socialists and libertarians alike should be able to appreciate. By Jeffrey Harrod Philosophers for Change Write about my vision of a “post-capitalist world,” I was requested. But I find this difficult. Difficult because I believe we are already in, or […]
I’d say this article is hysterical leftist paranoia. Neoliberalism and cultural leftism are friends, not enemies. The inequality of wealth that we see rising is similar to what happened during the industrial revolution when the rise of the liberal bourgeoisie paralleled the growth the proletarian class. It’s amazing […]
The “war on drugs” is the third worst domestic policy the United States has pursued in the entire history of the nation, after slavery and the ethnic cleansing of the indigenous people. Drug prohibition is the modern version of crusades against witchcraft. https://www.amazon.com/Ceremonial-Chemistry…/dp/0815607687 If you go to a […]
By Rabbit AltLeft.Com I know what you’re thinking, but no, I don’t mean “Tea Party” in the sense of the happy meal conservative movement that emerged in the early part of the Obama administration. Nor am I referring to anything relating to the Boston Tea Party or the […]

This presentation by Trevor Noah comparing Trump to African heads of states is considerably more plausible than the “Trump=Hitler” hysteria coming from the reactionary Left.
Todd Lewis and Keith Preston discuss education.
A refreshingly non-sectarian look at anarchism from James Corbett. Corbett also has an excellent overview of the thought of Proudhon.
By Parrish Miller As a libertarian of the anarchist persuasion (one who advocates the complete and total abolition of the state), I often find myself in discussions of how a truly “free” world might look. The truth, though, is that a free world would allow for the development […]
Listen here. The administration of US President Barack Obama is trying to muddy the waters with Russia before the inauguration of President-elect Donald Trump, says an American political analyst.

Unz Review There are clear signs that the Neocons running the AngloZionist Empire and its “deep state” are in a state of near panic and their actions indicate they are truly terrified. The home front One the home front, the Neocons have resorted to every possible dirty trick […]
Popular Resistance With Trump in the White House and GOP majorities in the House and Senate, we must look to cities to protect civil liberties and build progressive alternatives from the bottom up. “I want New Yorkers to know: we have a lot of tools at our disposal; […]
Heavy Anglo-Orthodox The Democrats’ loss on the eighth of November this year can, and still should, be made into a teachable moment for the American left and left-of-centre. The Democrats thought that they could win an election, under our current electoral rules, on the strength of a coalition […]
This is an unusually balanced and, I think, largely accurate discussion of Trump from a left-anarchist perspective. By PG Crimethinc Long before Donald Trump’s recent electoral victory, but in a chorus that has grown deafening in the last month, people have been talking about the possible return of […]
Is the power elite just as fractious within itself as the wider society? By Charles Hugh Smith OfTwoMinds.Com This is a blatantly politicized “report” that is not supported by any evidence, nor is it supported by the other 16 intelligence agencies. The recent pronouncement by the C.I.A. that […]
By Renee Parsons Counterpunch It is nothing short of a massive paradox, bordering on the ridiculous, for the CIA to allege that Russian cyber attacks had influenced the outcome of the recent Presidential election “to favor one candidate over the other” and sought to “undermine confidence in the […]
By Bob Egelko San Francisco Gate San Francisco’s chief judge says he and his colleagues discarded 66,000 arrest warrants issued over five years for quality-of-life crimes, like sleeping on the sidewalk, because it made no sense to lock people up for fines they couldn’t afford. The crimes, which […]
By Keith Preston American Renaissance American political culture has come to be defined by enormous divisions.

Social science research finds that more Americans would oppose their son or […]
This is the direction I’ve been saying the Left should be moving is for the past 20 years. By Alexander Kolokotronis ROAR Magazine In the era of Trump, we will need to consolidate counter-power via participatory democracy and economic self-management at the local level. he mass protests across […]
By Jacob Sullum Seychelles, a group of 115 islands off the east coast of Africa with 92,000 residents, does not figure prominently on many lists, but it leads the world in locking people up. It is the only country with a higher incarceration rate than the United States. […]
By Chris Knight It is now fifty years since Noam Chomsky published his celebrated article, ‘The Responsibility of Intellectuals’. Few other writings had a greater impact on the turbulent political atmosphere on US campuses in the 1960s. The essay launched Chomsky’s political career as the world’s most intransigent […]
PressTV. Listen here. President-elect Donald Trump will maintain Washington’s strong ties with Israel and hawkish stance against Iran during his administration due to the influence of the Zionist lobby and neoconservative groups in the US, a political analyst in Virginia says.
By Keith Preston Libertarian Alliance It increasingly looks to me like the Deep State, with the assent of the ruling class generally, is trying to pull a coup against Trump similar to the Chilean coup of 1974, with Trump assuming the role of Salvador Allende and Hillary perhaps […]
By Chris Shaw Gramsci rightly identifies that in the modern political environment, simply recognising actors as either public or private, in the realm of states or markets respectively, is problematic. Unfortunately the crux of international political economy has accepted this modernist doctrine, tacitly deifying the rationalist discourses of […]
A few thoughts on the latest bromide against yours truly by William Gillis, director of the Center for a Stateless Society (follow this “anarcho-transhumanist/antifa/thick libertarian/SJW” freak of nature on Twitter here).
If Bolton makes it in, the neocons’ strategy will likely be to have him play the role of Wolfowtiz to Mattis’ Rumsfeld and Pence’s Cheney. Bolton will try to sell the other two on war with Iran and try to get them to start whispering sweet nothings in […]
