A resurgence of scholarship documenting the structural causes of poverty has been surfacing, according to the New York Times. I think researchers are making some valid insights into the causes of poverty, which sits atop a 15-year high and reaches 44 millions Americans, but they have a huge blind spot for the underlying reasons [...]
I was asked how I might resond to a political liberal sincerely concerned with the plight of the less fortunate in a liberatian society.
The first thing I want to know is if it would be better just to save my breath. I first have to know if the person I am are communicating with [...]
It is telling that more mainstream opinion writers are picking up on the influence of radical libertarian thought. One such piece is by Lisa Richards on David Horowitz’s “NewsReal Blog.” At first, I could not tell if it was a subversive way of smuggling libertarian thought to conservatives or just a massive misunderstanding of [...]
Generally, I agree that the terms “left” and “right” in the mainstream political vernacular are a false alternative. Both liberals and conservatives support a violent organization that usurps individual rights and autonomy by its very existence. They may do so for different reasons, but both are reactionary hypocrites or at least very confused.

Ad hominem attacks aside, YouTuber hawanja’s video on free-market anarchists seems to make the point that people “naturally organize themselves into hierarchies” that require violence to be maintained, so anarchism runs counter to the human condition. It is left unstated why violence is needed or ethically justified to maintain these hierarchies if they were [...]
