Frank Wilhoit’s definition of conservatism (about which much more below) was not, as you would expect from something so incisive and widely quoted, formulated years ago in a scholarly book or article. It appeared only six years ago, in a lengthy comment by Wilhoit (a composer and music theorist), under a blog post by Henry…

Di Kevin Carson. Originale: On Gaza: “Now Is Not the Time”, “Moral Equivalency”, and “Liberalism”, del 26 ottobre 2023. Traduzione di Enrico Sanna. L’“Equivalenza morale” è l’unica alternativa al nichilismo Subito dopo l’attacco terroristico del sette ottobre, il presidente israeliano Isaac Herzog ha dichiarato: Per quanto riguarda l’esercito, c’è poca differenza tra civili e Hamas,…

“Moral Equivalency” is the Only Alternative to Nihilism. Israeli President Isaac Herzog said, in the aftermath of the October 7 terror attack, that  as far as the military is concerned, there is little difference between Gaza’s civilian population and Hamas, which has governed the besieged territory since 2007. “It’s not true this rhetoric about civilians…

Di Kevin Carson. Originale pubblicato il 24 agosto 2023 con il titolo Horseshoe Theory. Traduzione italiana di Enrico Sanna. È capitato di recente che qualcuno su Facebook ha pubblicato la rappresentazione grafica di un certo concetto centro-liberale chiamato “teoria del ferro di cavallo”, ovvero l’idea che destra e sinistra più si allontanano dal centro e…

I recently saw someone on Facebook post a “horseshoe” graphic, illustrating the popular centrist-liberal “horseshoe theory” trope that, the further right and left deviate from the center, the more authoritarian they become and the more they resemble each other. The problem with “horseshoe theory” is that it takes the status quo for granted and ignores…

abc. Article original: On Turkish Libertarians. Traduction française par abc. Mon point de vu sur les individus qui se présentent comme libertaires ou libéraux (ces définitions sont presque entrelacées aujourd’hui en Turquie) qui ont atteint un certain nombre de followers sur des plateformes telles que Twitter tout en étant hostiles aux réfugiés dans un contexte…

Уже прошло более 80 лет со дня написания впечатляющего для своего времени памфлета китайского диктатора Мао Цзедуна «Против либерализма». В этом коротком тексте Мао очерчивает одиннадцать проявлений либеральных взглядов в рамках иллиберального (нелиберального, антилиберального — такого, в котором ощущается нехватка базовых либеральных ценностей, — прим….

Anarko-kapitalizm de bir anarşizm türü müdür? Ben de dahil olmak üzere her türden anarşistin yankı yapacak cevabı tabii ki de hayır olacaktır.

Di Eric Fleischmann. Originale pubblicato il 17 maggio 2022 con il titolo The Age-Old Question: Is Anarcho-Capitalism Anarchism? Traduzione di Enrico Sanna. L’anarco-capitalismo è anarchismo? Anarchici di ogni sfumatura, compreso io, urlano: NO! Il dibattito infuria. Due le questioni: perché no? e: cos’è allora l’anarchismo? Le mie risposte: perché non soddisfa i requisiti dell’anarchismo, e…

De Eric Fleischmann. Artículo original publicado el 17 de mayo de 2022 con título The Age-Old Question: Is Anarcho-Capitalism Anarchism? Traducción al español de Vince Cerberus. ¿Es el anarcocapitalismo una forma de anarquismo? El grito resonante de los anarquistas de todas las tendencias, incluido yo mismo, es ¡NO! El debate continúa, pero esta afirmación plantea…

Is anarcho-capitalism a form of anarchism? The resounding cry from anarchists of all stripes—including myself—is NO! The debate rages on, but two questions are raised by this claim: why isn’t it anarchism and if it isn’t anarchism then what is it? I believe the answers are: because it fails to meet the deeper commitments of…

Bu makale abc tarafından kaleme alınmıştır. Kendini liberteryen ya da liberal olarak tanıtan (Türkiye tanımları bugün nerdeyse iç içe) ancak tipik Türk üstünlükçü bağlamda mülteci düşmanlığı yapan Twitter gibi platformlarda belli bir takipçi kitlesine ulaşmış bireylere nasıl bakıyorum. Olay bir Türk vatandaşının televizyonda “Muz bile alamıyoruz, Suriyeliler daha rahat yiyor.” Demesinden sonra gayri meşru Türk…

This essay is an English translation of On Turkish “Libertarians” I will explain my perspective towards individuals who have reached a large audience on platforms such as Twitter in Turkey and yet support statist-nationalist views on immigration despite their self-promotion as liberal/libertarian. It was subsequent to a Turkish person being heard on national television saying,…

Advocating work abolition, I encounter one specific objection very often. “Work,” they say, does not refer to, nor imply, coerced labour. An authoritarian Marxist I recently encountered made the claim that to speak of work abolition is the language of “empty” radicalism. They went on to claim that such “empty” radical language is confined to…

North and South Korea don’t have much in common today, after decades spent in very different political and economic systems. However, there is one thing both sides of the DMZ have inherited: the concept of minjok, a word that translates as “people” but can refer, more broadly, to both the Korean nation and the Korean…
