It’s the “chickie run” from Rebel Without a Cause all over again. But this time they’re driving YOUR cars.
Kevin Carson: The state works for the capitalists, not for you.
We at C4SS stand in solidarity with Walmart workers, and fully support their Black Friday strike.
They are little understood in the United States, or perhaps better still misunderstood.
It’s best that you forget both conservatism and elections altogether. Your core values are best advanced by converting to and promoting anarchism, thereby situating yourself as a part of the radical left.

Carson: Whatever corporate copyright lockdown Disney puts the franchise under couldn’t possibly exceed George Lucas’s worst. The Disney acquisition actually offers to breathe new life into the Star Wars universe.
Knapp: You can have politics or you can have peace, but you can’t have both.
Kevin Carson: However the 2012 race comes out the foreign policy will be the same, “We come in peace — shoot to kill, shoot to kill…”
