autonomous alternatives to the statist quo | a collection of Anarchist blogs
Molinari/C4SS
I’m at the University of Oklahoma in Norman, speaking to the Society of Undergraduate Philosophers about Eudaimonistic Approaches to Libertarianism on Thursday, and to the Students for a Stateless Society about Robert Nozick, Class Struggle, and Free-Market Socialism on Friday.
I’m back from the Dallas SFL regional meeting in Denton, which was terrific. Great to see old friends, and even greater to hang out with the hoopy froods from the Oklahoma S4SS.
Here’s a video of my talk:
And here’s an interview I did with Justin Oliver of the DFW chapter of ALL:
The C4SS site is back up – so, happy ending, plus a bizarre plot twist. Details here. Thanks to everyone who helped us!
Tomorrow I’m off to the University of Arizona to do this.

Today is the twelfth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, the eleventh anniversary of the Molinari Institute’s founding (happy birthday!), and also the eleventh anniversary of this blog.
Not much new to add since last year’s post. The u.s. empire continues to flail about fecklessly but aggressively in the Middle East (though happily the momentum toward war with Syria has been somewhat slowed by recent events). The Molinari Institute and its partners and/or avatars (C4SS, ALL, ALL Distro, The Industrial Radical, and the Molinari Society) continue to fight the power. Join us!
There is now a facebook page for the ALL Distro, as well as a combined facebook page for the Molinari Institute and Industrial Radical.
C4SS of course has one already.
The third issue (Spring 2013) of The Industrial Radical will be back from the printers and on its way to subscribers shortly, featuring articles by Less Antman, Jason Lee Byas, Kevin Carson, Nathan Goodman, Anthony Gregory, Trevor Hultner, Charles Johnson, Joshua Katz, Thomas L. Knapp, Abby Martin, Chad Nelson, Sheldon Richman, Jeremy Weiland, and your humble correspondent, on topics ranging from NSA surveillance and whistleblowing, the Turkish revolt, the Boston lockdown, the Keystone XL pipeline, intellectual property, and the futility of gun control in an age of 3-D printing, to compulsory schooling, American militarism, conscription, worker exploitation, property rights, prison ethics, rape culture, the pros and cons of communism, and the dubious legacy of Margaret Thatcher.
With each new issue published, we post the immediately preceding issue online. Hence a free pdf file of our second issue (Winter 2013) is now available here. (See the first issue also.)

– Turkish prime minster Erdoğan
The C4SS statement of solidarity with the Turkish protestors has been posted.
I wrote most of it (as is only appropriate, since I caused the revolt), though borrowing some language from our earlier letter on Egypt (which was mainly Brad Spangler’s work), a phrase from Gary Chartier, and a suggestion from Kevin Carson.
The hyperlinks were all supplied by James Tuttle.
I would also like to thank prime minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, without whom this statement would not have been possible.
