Political theory, i.e. socio-economic systems, affect us all to one extent or another, yet very few people know what the spooky words for these various systems actually mean. I’m here to provide some clarity.
A-hem. Mi mi mi mi mi… There is a common misconception in the “community” of political commentators that the left thinks the right is evil, and the right thinks the left is stupid. The opposite is true; the left is evil, and the right is stupid. Seriously, the right keeps making arguments from “facts and…
Mass murder is no unintentional inevitability, much less a mistake; it is always the logical and even deliberate conclusion of utopian thinking. However, to explain why, it is first necessary to touch on personality disorders. Possibly the most perplexing paradox I have come across is that of the self-loathing narcissist, though if you think about…
Ever wonder why the establishment calls everything it doesn't like "fascist"? Wonder no more; fascism is the spectre haunting modern socialism from within. I routinely mention “longhouse simps,” defined as people who agree with the establishment and think they are part of the resistance, for example, this idiot: Substack Note originally posted 22 March, 2024…
Capitalism is a socialist word, in that it was invented by and is used predominantly by socialists. Socialism is defined by its opposite, but as you may have noticed, not only can most socialists not define socialism, but they can’t define capitalism either. I was a socialist for over a decade, and I was able…
This article is for anyone out there who finds themselves in need of a concise definition of socialism, such as if you are arguing with someone about its merits and your interlocutor tries to obfuscate about what it is. Socialism is defined as the collectivisation of the means of production. Collectivisation is the transfer of…
Friends, have you ever heard the story of the battleship and the speed-boat? If not, it’s a short but powerful fable. A battleship, a speed-boat, and several cargo ships were sailing through an icy sea. Only the battleship could afford to hit an iceberg, which was all well and good, as it was so ungainly…
Given that I have this tendency to write whatever pops into my head, I don't necessarily write articles in an order than makes sense. So, now that I've joined Substack and I have yet to publish anything particularly intellectual on the platform, I figured that today, I would get back to basics and write an introductory…
From matters of city to matters of the people. In my own native tongue, it even rhymes: от дела города к делу народа (ot dela goroda k delu naroda). While it was always my intention to write response articles on this particular blog, I didn't expect them to be as popular as they evidently are.…
Aleksandr Dugin is the founder of the Eurasia Party, which uses the star of chaos as its symbol, and its colours are black and yellow, the same as those of anarcho-capitalism. Keep that in mind, because it will become important later. I like Dugin, and even though he's not an anarcho-capitalist himself, I think he…
I recently had a revelation: free marketeers such as myself need a new word for the system we promote, because "capitalism" simply doesn't do it anymore. We need a free market; we do not have one, we have a captured market. For that reason, I've been calling this system "corporatism" for some time now. The…
