by Sean Gabb In the past few days, I’ve had this alleged quote from Kark Marx sent to me about a dozen times: “Owners  of capital will stimulate the working class to buy more and more of expensive goods, houses and technology,  pushing them to take more and more expensive  credits, until their debt becomes unbearable. The unpaid  debt will lead to bankruptcy of banks, which will have  to be nationalised, and the State will have to take  the road which will eventually lead to communism... Read Full Story

by Frank Borzellieri http://www.alternativeright.com/main/blogs/district-of-corruption/the-war-on-guns/ The capacity on the part of liberals to devise outlandish policies intended to combat crime is rivaled in stupidity only by their propensity to avoid true solutions. Gun control has always been the pet panacea of those who possess neither the desire nor the backbone to confront the true and obvious cause of gun violence: criminals and a lenient justice system. Rather than confront this... Read Full Story

by the Rev. Philip Foster I have written about this before but it bears repeating. When you were at school and were doing chemistry, I hope you were paying attention at least to the simple test used for detecting CO2. The gas was tested for by bubbling it through lime water (a solution of Ca(OH)2 otherwise known as Calcium hydroxide). Now you will remember that this clear solution of limewater would turn cloudy white if CO2 was the gas bubbling through it. This I trust you all remember... Read Full Story

by David Webb The news that the parents of Gary Dobson and David Norris, recently convicted for having “murdered” Stephen Lawrence, may face charges into whether they perjured themselves in court by giving their sons alibis strikes me as rather alarming. While perjury is a serious crime, there has to be real evidence to bring a prosecution of this type. Unless it can be proven that their sons were not home with them that night, I don’t see grounds for prosecution. The government may think... Read Full Story

Unvereinigtes Königreich: Abspaltung Schottlands wäre gut für England von Sean Gabb Vorteilhaft auch für die angeschlagene bürgerliche Zivilisation Die übliche englische Antwort auf den schottischen Nationalismus ist, ihn zu ignorieren, ihn als Irritation zu betrachten oder ihn unter Erinnerung an die gemeinsame Geschichte herunterzureden oder den Wert englischer Subventionen hervorzuheben und darauf zu warten, dass sich in der Debatte der gesunde Menschenverstand durchsetzt. Ich... Read Full Story

by Kevin Carson http://c4ss.org/?p=9715 David Goodway. Anarchist Seeds Beneath the Snow: Left-Libertarian Thought and British Writers from William Morris to Colin Ward (PM Press edition, 2012). I’ll start by saying I found this a very engaging read. I learned a lot of interesting new things about people whose thought I had already encountered, like Morris, Huxley and Orwell, and developed a strong appreciation for those — like Wilde — with whom I was less familiar. I confess I found... Read Full Story

Some thoughts on electric cars. “The Leaf in Winter” by the Rev. Philip Foster 1. Ratio of power to weight for the electric ‘fuel’ compared to petrol is about 1:10. ie the battery weight and volume is ten times that of a tank of fuel for the same mileage. 2. With a petrol vehicle power does not drop off as fuel is consumed, with an electric vehicle this is invariably the case. 3. With winter rather full on at the moment, consider a scenario of an electric vehicle at night up on... Read Full Story

OBESITY dj An undeniable problem… It is difficult to deny that obesity is a problem in England today. An apparent inability to control one’s body size and shape is cited by millions as something that diminishes their enjoyment in life. We only live once, and a life spent battling “flab” can only be described as a wasted life. It is clearly far from ideal to look back in one’s 40s or 50s, as many do, on what should have been the best years of one’s life, knowing that one’s own lifestyle... Read Full Story
