By Cake Boy Ok, so, to the young anarchists, leftist anarchists, who praise this attack on Charlie Kirk. You guys don’t really get it. You didn’t study your basic anarchism. Look, so what does leftist/ancom anarchism want? If you read your Malatesta, you see he had a specific […]
By Nicky Reid aka Comrader Exile in Happy Valley I’ve never been much of an opportunist when it comes to America because quite frankly, there is really very little to be optimistic about. A cursory glance at this nation’s history should be more than enough to prove that. […]
By Cake Boy So, suppose a leftist radical killed this Charlie Kirk guy. A communist or anarchist. This could be the case. I’m not saying it is, but it could. If this were the case, what are my thoughts on it? I don’t like the idea of killing […]
By Corey Fisher Marriage has long been presented as the cornerstone of society, a sacred bond, and the ultimate measure of commitment. Yet when we strip away the emotional propaganda, religious framing, and cultural conditioning, marriage reveals itself for what it really is: a social construct that no […]
Why BRICS Will Fail to Replace the World Currency By Corey Fisher The idea that BRICS could replace the United States dollar as the world’s primary currency has been circulating for years, but the reality is that it is a weak and impractical attempt. The motivation behind this […]
By Nicky Reid aka Comrade Hermit Exile in Happy Valley We’ve seen this same scenario play out on the international news a thousand times before. Some populist despot on a power binge locks down the capitol with heavily armed and uniformed soldiers on the street. Some kind of […]
By Cake Boy So, ancap (anarcho capitalism) is fascism, some famous leftist anarchist said, some days ago. These leftist anarchists use the word ‘fascism’ a bit too often. Fascism was/is a very specific kind of current. Not everything is fascism. Is ancap fascism? I would say that ancap […]
By Nicky Reid aka Comrade Hermit Exile in Happy Valley Not long after Donald Trump had the Department of Justice unceremoniously torpedo its own investigation into Jeffrey Epstein, the President’s longtime friend and fellow member of the predator elite, Bill O’Reilly, announced something that I found to be […]

By Nicky Reid aka Comrade Hermit Exile in Happy Valley It is getting harder and harder for me to cover the endless holocaust in Gaza. I am not an objective journalist. In fact I reject the very notion of objective journalism as inherently problematic and at times downright […]
By Cake Boy So I was listening to this debate from some years ago. And I want to respond to it. Libertarians are so lazy in their thinking. And they are very ‘technical’. They act as if the world is a sort of puzzle that they can solve. […]
By Keith Preston, August 14, 2025 Joseph Ford Cotto’s Why Trump Won is not merely a book about an election. It is a demolition of received wisdom, a forensic dismantling of the establishment’s predictive machinery, and a case study in how institutional arrogance collapses under the weight of […]
By Nicky Reid aka Comrade Hermit Exile in Happy Valley Donald Trump’s frequent attempts to dress himself in the drag of a peace candidate have always been a cabaret made possible by the Democrats’ open-mouthed embrace of humanitarian colonialism. It’s real easy to score the role of Charles […]
By Nicky Reid aka Comrade Hermit Exile in Happy Valley This rant is devoted in loving memory to Virginia Giuffre, a woman who died speaking the truth about powerful men. I lost my virginity in preschool. I don’t know a worse way to start a post. Unfortunately, I […]
By Aleksey Bashtavenko Academic Composition Keith Preston’s Attack the System project has long stood as a critique of centralized authority, technocratic management, and the managerial state’s suffocating grip on organic social order. His call for decentralization, pan-secessionism, pluralism, and voluntary association is not just an ideological abstraction; it […]
By Aleksey Bashtavenko Academic Composition Russia and Switzerland could not be more different—not just in their governance structures, but in the fundamental political philosophies that animate their societies. These two nations represent opposing poles on the spectrum of political evolution: Russia stands as the embodiment of Hobbesian centralism […]
By Aleksey Bashtavenko Academic Composition The war in Ukraine is not merely a geopolitical contest over territory, security arrangements, or energy corridors. At its core, it is a civilizational clash between two fundamentally different conceptions of political life: the Hobbesian model, grounded in hierarchy, centralized power, and fear […]
By Nicky Reid aka Comrade Hermit Exile in Happy Valley What is the definition of a gang? I would generally argue that this word is a contrived label used by rich people to describe any group of poor people organized around using force to acquire wealth like rich […]
By Aleksey Bashtavenko Academic Composition In Average Is Over, economist Tyler Cowen makes an optimistic claim: Latino immigration to the United States not only strengthens the American economy, but also transmits liberal and democratic values back to Latin America. The idea is compelling. As immigrants live and work […]
By Nicky Reid aka Comrade Hermit Exile in Happy Valley This may be politically incorrect, but we need to face the fact that we are a nation under siege. America has been invaded by an insatiable alien swarm that has engulfed this nation like a human inferno. Breeding, […]
By Cake Boy So, I read this article on the website of the Libertarian Socialist Caucus of the DSA. I took sentences out of it to reply to it. I said I would react to their stuff, so this is my first reaction to their articles. https://dsa-lsc.org/2024/07/13/anarchy-transfemmes-and-the-state-oh-my/ I […]
[Keith: This was a submission originally sent to the UK’s Libertarian Alliance, which rejected it because it might be a bit “too hot to handle.” Such writing might even be illegal in the United Kingdom. Then, it was sent to Attack the System. I am posting it because […]
By Nicky Reid aka Comrade Hermit Exile in Happy Valley Donald Trump is on a rampage and the colossal pistons of America’s federal government machine seem to be his new favorite battering rams. Every problem, perceived or contrived, seems to require a bigger and bigger government solution. Things […]
By Cake Boy Let’s look at the contradictions within the modern anarchist left (pop-anarchist) milieu. A woke leftist told me that I should not ‘mansplain.’ I, as a man, wouldn’t understand all kinds of social and political realities. Also, this woke leftist said: Biological sex isn’t real, men […]
By Nicky Reid aka Comrade Hermit Exile in Happy Valley “Ooh, that smell Can’t you smell that smell? Ooh, that smell The smell of death surrounds you” ‘Ooh That Smell’ by Lynyrd Skynyrd I may be a hedonistic, post-left, genderfuck, heathen but I’m also a fiercely localist, […]
By Nicky Reid aka Comrade Hermit Exile in Happy Valley After spending the last year killing pretty much everybody else in the Middle East, Israel and their less than silent partners back in Washington finally zeroed in on their ‘big bad’ in Tehran this June. All of this […]
by Don Fitz One of the most unaddressed problems in coping with climate catastrophes is who will make decisions concerning what to do. There is a widespread assumption that shots should be called by experts who advise politicians who are beholden to heads of mega-corporations who hold the […]
By Cake Boy A problem with the modern leftist anarchist ‘movement’ (if you can even call it a movement) is that there is no free speech within its borders/domains. I have always been a proponent of free speech absolutism. So when I came across the modern leftist anarchists […]
By Cake Boy How the leftist anarchist movement in this country turned to dust. In the 19th century, the leftist anarchist organisation was a syndicalist movement, connected to the unions, the working class, and the antimilitarists. It was a serious political force. In the 1980s, there was an […]
By Nicky Reid aka Comrade Hermit Exile in Happy Valley 2025 has been a hard year to be Queer in this necrotic empire but it has been a downright horrific year to be a Queer kid and tragically, in many ways, it has never been harder to be […]
By Cake Boy So I checked the leftist anarchist party of this country, and I checked how they are doing. They now have around 6000 followers on social media. But they are still a worthless mess. They don’t achieve anything and have no political significance. Why is this […]
Troy Keith Preston Jun 16, 2025 Philosophical anarchism, grounded in a principled rejection of coercive authority and hierarchical institutions, holds a complex and often ambivalent stance on the issue of immigration controls. While many anarchists view borders as instruments of state violence and capitalist exclusion, others voice concerns […]

By Nicky Reid aka Comrade Hermit Exile in Happy Valley If you’ve read more than a few of my rants, then you are probably already painfully aware that I am a Queer person and that I take this identity pretty seriously, some of you may even be forgiven […]
By Cake Boy When I studied philosophy, I told my teacher I always read anarchist literature. This stuff fascinates me. Anarchism is about freedom, he said. Then he said, “OK, freedom, but what do you do with that freedom? Freedom to what?” I would say the (leftist/Proudhonist) anarchist […]
By Cake Boy When you critique rent, most libertarians will always say, “You choose to rent from the landlord.” Here you see how their views are limited, and here we see they are not deep thinkers. I’m not against markets, but when is something a market? In a […]
By Nicky Reid aka Comrade Hermit Exile in Happy Valley The Genocide Convention defines genocide as an intentional effort to completely or partially destroy a group based on its nationality, ethnicity or religion. Merriam-Webster defines genocide as the deliberate and systematic destruction of a racial, political, or cultural […]
A Review of Drink Your Future: Recursive Freedom in the Cybernetic Age by Keith Preston It is rare these days to encounter a work of political theory that feels not only urgent but uncanny—so prescient in diagnosing the drift of late capitalism, and yet so generous in its […]
By Nicky Reid aka Comrade Hermit Exile in Happy Valley Everywhere you turn lately somebody seems to be talking about the importance of mental health; online adds, television commercials, celebrities, politicians and a lot of other shit that generally makes me want to shake cocktails with the stuff […]
By Aleksey Bashtavenko Academic Composition https://www.youtube.com/@Alekseybashtavenko Michel Foucault, a towering figure in twentieth-century thought, is often cited—sometimes worshipped—by postmodernist and leftist academics who seek to dismantle traditional power structures. His writings on discourse, power, and social institutions underpin much of contemporary critical theory, from queer studies to postcolonialism. […]
By Aleksey Bashtavenko Academic Composition https://www.youtube.com/@Alekseybashtavenko Santa Cruz del Islote is not just an island — it’s a living metaphor. Floating off Colombia’s Caribbean coast, it is often described as the most densely populated island on Earth, home to some 1,200 people packed into just one hectare of […]
By Cake Boy Here, Springtime of Nations says: all anarchists (left and right) agree on voluntary association (what he calls the non-aggression principle, the ‘NAP’), as a foundation for anarchism. This voluntary association would then result in panarchist constructs, consisting of liberal and socialist tendencies, I suppose (if […]
From Post-Napoleonic Restoration to Contemporary Electoral Authoritarianism Troy Keith Preston May 29, 2025 Since the early nineteenth century, experiments with liberal representative government have cyclically given way to concentrated executive rule under diverse historical circumstances. Far from being a relic of the distant past, autocratic governance has resurfaced […]

Mission Statement The Anarchy First Network (AFN) exists to cultivate, coordinate, and catalyze efforts that advance decentralization, anti-authoritarianism, and autonomy across ideological boundaries.

How Trumpism, Financial Oligarchy, and Cultural Reaction Are Merging to Redefine American Power Troy Keith Preston May 25, 2025 Project 2025, developed by the Heritage Foundation and a coalition of right-wing institutions, has become a roadmap for a radical transformation of American governance. While marketed as a restoration […]
By Nicky Reid aka Comrade Hermit Exile in Happy Valley In case you haven’t noticed, the world is a pretty fucked up place right now and America kind of has everything to do with it. From the rapid advance of climate carnage to the blatant mass starvation of […]
By Cake Boy The problem Liberland (the right-libertarian/ancap-free zone) always had was that the surrounding countries didn’t acknowledge it. They wanted to end the project. Rojava (the left libertarian free zone)does not have this problem, because they are stronger, bigger, and more people live within their domain. What […]
By Cake Boy Let’s look at libertarian unity again. Can you blend ancap with ancom (anarcho-capitalism with anarcho-communism)? Most leftists react very emotionally when you talk about ancap. They will start to scream that ancaps are not anarchists immediately. But let’s look at it in a logical way. […]
By Nicky Reid aka Comrade Hermit Exile in Happy Valley Ana Maria was a nine-year-old girl from a little town called Chiclayo, Peru in 2007 when the Catholic Church robbed her of her childhood. She didn’t even see it coming. A beloved friar known popularly as Father Lute […]
By Cake Boy Liberal, socialist, communist, or anarchist movements need mass support to achieve their political goals. You can only create mass support if you fight for common goals and forget about niche issues. For example. A socialist party could unite thousands of people around one common goal. […]
