Questioni di Interesse
Di Anon. Originale: A Story of Interest, del 31 gennaio 2024. Traduzione italiana di Enrico Sanna. Prima di spiegare la mia vicenda, voglio precisare inequivocabilmente una cosa: oggi i governi occidentali favoriscono, fino alla complicità, l’eccidio dei palestinesi da parte di un governo israeliano estremista con intenzioni espressamente genocide. Quello che posso fare al riguardo…
A Story of Interest
Before I share my story, let me make something unequivocally clear: Western governments are currently aiding and abetting the mass murder of Palestinians by an extremist Israeli government expressing clear genocidal intent. I have very little leverage in this world, but it would be a moral failure to ignore this reality and not do everything…
4 Temmuz (ABD Bağımsızlık Günü) ve Anarşist Bayramlar Üzerine Düşünceler
Yazar: Nick Manley. Orijinal makale: Thoughts on The Fourth of July And Anarchist Holidays. Yayınlanma Tarihi: Tercüman: Zagreides. Charles Johnson’ın söylediği gibi, 4 Temmuz zalim bir sömürge yönetiminin kovulmasının yıldönümüdür. Bu sebepten dolayı anarşistler, 4 Temmuz’u hoş bir ironiyle kendi bayramları olarak sahiplenebilirler. Hadi ABD ulus devletinin kurulmasını değil lakin İngiliz sömürge yönetiminin kovulmasını kutlayalım…
Sociedades de la Regla de Plata y de Oro
Por Michael S. Rozeff. Artículo original: Silver and Golden Rule Societies, del 20 de octubre de 2015. Traducido al español por Vince Cerberus. Introducción La violencia agresiva se opone a la libertad de acción. Este es un principio libertario central. Entonces, ¿qué vamos a hacer con los medios no violentos de controlar las creencias de un individuo,…
Star Wars, Capitalism and “Benign Dictatorship”
In what seems to be becoming an annual tradition, neoconservative grey eminence Bill Kristol tweeted in December 18, “When I first saw Star Wars in 1977, I was inclined to root for the empire. 25 years later, @JVLast proved me right.” Kristol authored a similar series of tweets in October of last year, and praised…
How Clinton Encouraged Obama’s Biggest Blunder
Barack Obama recently said that his biggest blunder was “failing to plan for the day after” his intervention in Libya. While he defended the intervention itself, the president cannot deny that his reckless war has had disastrous consequences, including a growing ISIS presence in Libya. Hillary Clinton eagerly pressured the president to overthrow Moammar Gaddafi….
Silver and Golden Rule Societies
by Michael S. Rozeff Introduction Aggressive violence opposes freedom of action. This is a central libertarian tenet. What then are we to make of non-violent means of controlling an individual’s beliefs, such as methodical inculcation of religious, nationalistic, or superstitious beliefs? Do these methods also oppose freedom? How do we characterize such methods and contrast them…

Azione sul Clima: Sulle Ceneri del Potere
In un suo recente intervento al vertice sul clima delle Nazioni Unite, Barack Obama ha spronato le nazioni della terra a collaborare per affrontare il problema dei cambiamenti climatici antropogenici. Obama ha rassicurato i politici presenti che gli “Stati Uniti d’America si stanno dando una mossa” e che noi (collettivamente) “ci assumiamo la responsabilità” di…
Climate Action: Stand on the Ashes of Power
In recent comments at the United Nations Climate Summit, US president Barack Obama espoused an urgent need for all the nations of Earth to work together and engage anthropogenic climate change. Obama ensured his peers in attendance that the “United States of America is stepping up to the plate” and that (the collective) we “embrace our responsibility” to…
Thoughts on The Fourth of July And Anarchist Holidays
As Charles Johnson has noted, July 4th is the anniversary of the death of an existing tyrannical government. Anarchists can therefore ironically appropriate the holiday for their own purposes. Let us celebrate the death of British colonial rule rather than the creation of a new nation-state. Both British imperialism and American nationalism deserve to be criticized….
Thoughts On The Repeal of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell
Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell was ended a few years ago. Its repeal was celebrated by many mainstream liberals, but the radical leftist, Against Equality Collective, had a more critical take. There is merit on both sides of the argumentative aisle. As long as government militaries exist; the freedom of gay individuals who serve to reveal…
Memorial Day Thoughts
J. Edward Carp has already written a fine piece on Memorial Day, but I see no reason why there isn’t room for another. One might expect an anarchist such as myself to simply trash veterans as stooges of the state, but I have a more nuanced perspective to offer. Memorial Day is often used by…
