Punk Johnny Cash

I am an anarchist. I believe in liberation of all people from hierarchy and oppression. I am a USMC veteran whose time in service served to only convince me that Anarchism truly is the only sensible option for society. I oppose the use of force to structure society. I am a straight ally to the LGBT liberation movement, a male ally to the feminist and the woman’s liberation movement, a white ally to the black liberation movement and any people group who has experienced oppression. I stand in solidarity with the IWW and the workers struggle in the classical anarchist tradition. Power to the People.

I started Gonzo Times a few years ago and it has only grown since then. You can follow me @PunkJohnnyCash

Jehu Eaves

I am a “marxist-in-recovery”, which is to say, I am someone trying to recover for myself the essential humanist thought of Karl Marx. I understand his writings as a radical, critical, and determined opposition to all forms of social coercion and “laws” of society, including, but not limited to, Labor, Property and the State — a decidedly negative critique of present society that offers no vision of what replaces it. My somewhat arkward musings on this can be found at Re: The People where I post under the pseudonym Charley2u. I am also on Twitter @ReThePeople. You can find an archive of his writings at Gonzo Times here.

Scott F

Born in Edinburgh, Scotland now living in England, Scott F is a recent addition to left-libertarianism having only recently shed An-cap baggage.He continues to think and expand on what being left-libertarian means to him as he works in an ordinary retail job.He’s interested in philosophy and music. An archive of his writings on Gonzo Times can be found here.

drunkenatheist

“I’m Vicki and I blog under the pseudonym “drunkenatheist.” I’m an anarcha-feminist who leans left-libertarian and was part of that funky little minority of libertarians who came from a very left-wing background. My jump from libertarianism to outright anarchism took barely any time at all, partly because I always saw the flaws in minarchy/the constitutionalist wing of the libertarian party. There is too much of a tendency within mainstream libertarianism to substitute federal tyranny for state/local-level or corporate-sponsored tyranny. I take issue with this because sometimes you care less about whose boot is on your throat than you do about the fact that there’s a boot on your damn throat. Furthermore, I find it simplistic and problematic to advocate removing the state without challenging any other hierarchies (i.e., racism, sexism, homophobia, etc.). I’m working to dismantle these oppressive power structures, not replicate them in a stateless society. You can follow me on Twitter @drunkenatheist or through my blog, drunkenatheist.com.”

Joseph Munley (The Altered Statesman)

‘The Altered Statesman’ is the pseudonym of writer Joseph Munley of Nashville, TN. Self-described as being “confused in regards to exactly where I stand party-wise when it comes to politics… I see merits in the Democratic Party, Republican Party, Libertarian Party, Green Party, and on & on. The truth is that there are genuinely good people who choose to align themselves with every party out there. I just want what’s best for the country. So… I guess I am a Green Republi-cat-itarian.”
Munley is the creator of ‘The Altered States of Munley‘ where he shares his thoughts on Politics, Sports, and other Ruminations. You can follow him on twitter @ASofM

Michael Orion Powell

Michael Orion Powell (who sometimes uses his surname Deschamps) was born and raised in Seattle, Washington and carries with him a Northwest left-libertarianism. Opposed to the intimidation of religious thugs and police statists, Powell uses his pen to push forward into the twentieth century the struggle for enlightenment started by Voltaire, Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Paine and George Orwell, taking on reactionary forces of all political sides in the process.

Shawn Blevins

Shawn Blevins is an independent writer, artist, musician, and political activist in Middletown, Ohio. Existentially depressed at the age of 12, Mr. Blevins found freedom in the power of punk rock and began to question everything. Since then he has never looked back. He is a hard headed do it yourselfer who prefers to learn through experience to understand many points of view. This D.I.Y. ethic pushed him towards journalism and the arts. Mr. Blevins has written for several publications as a freelance writer, and is glad to have found a home at “The Gonz.”
