Anarkisme yang terus Berkembang
Oleh: Ryan Neugebauer. Teks aslinya berjudul “An Evolving Anarchism.” Diterjemahkan oleh Ameyuri Ringo. Anarkisme, bagi saya, bukanlah tentang “hasil akhir” melainkan lebih tentang etika dan pandangan-pandangan tertentu. Ia haruslah menolak gagasan tentang “final” dan sebaliknya, menekankan pentingnya proses pencarian tanpa akhir untuk menciptakan dunia yang lebih baik. Proses ini sangat bertentangan dengan Komunisme, yang telah…
Non Usate la Comunità LGBTQIA+ per Giustificare l’interventismo USA
Di Eric Fleischmann. Originale: Don’t Use the LGBTQIA+ Community to Justify U.S. Interventionism del 4 marzo 2022. Traduzione di Enrico Sanna. Il Gay Times scriveva la settimana scorsa che, stando a “una lettera inviata il 20 febbraio a Michelle Bachelet, alto commissario per i diritti umani dell’Onu”, secondo le autorità statunitensi la Russia avrebbe un…
Don’t Use the LGBTQIA+ Community to Justify U.S. Interventionism
Last week, The Gay Times reported that—based on “a leaked letter sent on 20 February to Michelle Bachelet, the United Nations’ (UN) High Commissioner for Human Rights”—U.S. officials claim there is an official Russian list of “‘journalists, activists and gay rights advocates’ to punish in the event it invades Ukraine.” Would this be in line…

Pubblicato originariamente sul blog Students for Liberty il 25 novembre 2015. Nel primo articolo di questa serie ho spiegato perché un libertario dovrebbe respingere la pratica penale. In alternativa, credo che…
Contra o Sistema Penal, Parte II: O Direito Criminal É Um Crime
Jason Lee Byas. Título original: Against the Criminal Justice System, Pt. II: The Criminality of Criminal Law. Traduzido para o português por Gabriel Serpa. ​Na primeira parte desta série, apresentei razões para os libertários rejeitarem as práticas punitivistas. Como alternativa, sugeri que o papel adequado do Direito é a busca pela resolução de conflitos, e…
Against the Criminal Justice System, Pt. II: The Criminality of Criminal Law
In the first post of this series, I gave some reasons why libertarians ought to reject the practice of punishment. As an alternative, I suggested that the only proper role of law is dispute resolution, and that law’s violence can only be used in either direct defense or the collection of restitution. In effect, this…
Relitigating Decentralization: Response to M Black
I must confess no small horror on reading M Black’s contribution to this Mutual Exchange. A self-professed anarchist, defending centralization? I would normally let such arguments fall on their face alone, but if we are to platform them in this exchange I feel a moral obligation to reiterate basic reality. My response will be divided…
Iran: Dovere Tuo, Non Mio
Di Mila Ghorayeb. Originale pubblicato il 3 giugno 2019 con il titolo Iran: Compliance for Thee, but Not for Me. Traduzione di Enrico Sanna. L’obiettivo degli Stati Uniti dopo l’undici settembre 2001 non era solo il rovesciamento del governo iracheno. Nel piano del segretario alla difesa, Donald Rumsfeld, rientravano sette paesi: Iraq, Siria, Libano, Libia,…
Iran: Compliance for Thee, but Not for Me
After 9/11, the United States did not only aim to overthrow the government of Iraq. Its Secretary of Defense, Donald Rumsfeld, sought to overthrow the governments of seven countries: Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and finally — Iran. Predictably, these are countries whose governments were not on ideal terms with the United States, Saudi…
Beneath The Institutional — Response To Gelderloos
Gelderloos complains at length about perceived small misreadings and misrepresentations in my piece warning about skews to “Diagnostic of the Future” but then he engages in a number of such himself. “They say I claim that fascism should only be critiqued at the institutional level, and never at the ideological level.” But note that I…
Un Anarchismo in Evoluzione
Di Ryan Neugebauer. Originale pubblicato il 13 luglio 2017 con il titolo An Evolving Anarchism. Traduzione di Enrico Sanna. Per me l’anarchismo riguarda più un’etica e un atteggiamento particolare che un “obiettivo finale”. Deve rigettare l’idea di uno stadio “finale” dell’esistenza, per evidenziare l’importanza di un processo di ricerca infinita volto alla produzione di un…
An Evolving Anarchism
Anarchism, for me, is less about “end goals” and more about a particular ethic and outlook. It should reject the idea of “final” states of existence altogether and instead emphasize the importance of a never-ending discovery process in producing a better world. This process is much to the contrary of Communism, which declares what the…

Trump’s Military Budget Is Not NATO’s Fault
President Trump’s budget proposal would increase military spending $54 billion, not quite a 10 percent increase over the current level.  According to Quartz, the increase alone is more than all but two countries — China and Saudi Arabia — spend on their militaries. (China spends $145 billion, Saudi Arabia $57 billion, Russia $47 billion, and Iran $16 billion,…
