Beware the Moderate Your Greatest Enemy
I must make two honest confessions to you, my Christian and Jewish brothers. First, I must confess that over the past few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku [...]
Why Faith In The State Over Anarchy Is Flawed
The Government does not hate you. The Government does not like you. It is indifferent. The Government is not an entity with feelings, remorse, ethics or conscious. It is a collective of individuals working according to rigid flawed guidelines. The government is not an individual therefore the government as a whole has no rights whatsoever. People [...]
Collective Defense: An Example of Methodology
This is an exert from Practical Anarchy The book by: Stefan Molyneux of Free Domain Radio. You can read and purchase the full book Practical Anarchy: How Freedom Will work here.

No Gods, No Masters: Organized Religion and Statism by downdurnst
“One of those completely unquestioning, devoted drudges on whom, more even than on the Thought Police, the stability of the Party depended.” -George Orwell (from ‘Nineteen Eighty-Four’) In the book ‘Nineteen Eighty-Four’ by George Orwell, we see a dystopian world in which ‘the Party’ controls every aspect of thought, history, [...]
Mike Gogulski Renouncing privilege and fake solidarity: 595-12-5274
This article was originally published on 9 May 2009 by Mike Gogulski at NoState.com About a week ago I scanned my US Social Security card and published the images online, inviting readers to “steal” the number — as if numbers could really be owned, anyway. In that posting I didn’t really give any reasons for doing it. Some looked [...]
Cola Republic
By W. Edwin Hinds IV Yesterday I caught some glimpses of a documentary that was running on my television as I washed dishes in the nearby kitchen. Water pregnant with surfactant solution streaming down the drain as I rinsed away the mess while the voice of my favorite prisoner, number 655321, narrates. Macolm McDowell has a countenance and [...]
George Donnelly on Spooner’s “No Treason”
In “No Treason: The Constitution of No Authority,” Lysander Spooner convincingly argues that the United States constitution can not possibly be said to have a binding effect on anyone, be they signers of the document, those living at the time of its signing or those who have since lived. The only kind of document that historically has had [...]
Social Justice in a Stateless Society
How do we even begin to address social Justice in a stateless society? We do it through direct action not political action. Something like social justice is vast and many changes and issues need to be addressed. Is there a final point to reach? Will the work ever be done? The state has failed to eliminate racism, sexism and other forms of [...]
The Framework for Prosecuting Torture Under the Bush Administration
The law clearly prohibits torture under the Geneva Conventions, and as the Conventions are the supreme law of the land by virtue of the fact that the United States ratified the Geneva Conventions, the prohibitions and limitations placed upon state action in war and combat are binding upon the United States, including its officers, officials, [...]
Anarchism: Necessary But Not Sufficient
This article could be seen as a follow up to my previous article, Without Adjectives. In further discussion with a few people, talking about the extra-anarchistic aspects of various forms of social justice, I said “Anarchism is necessary, but not sufficient, to create a just society.” It seemed like a statement that warranted a bit of [...]
