What kind of professor has such empty bookshelves? It's very suspicious.
Check out this interview with my co-conspirator Gary Chartier, mainly about his book Conscience of an Anarchist, on Bathabile Mthombeni’s radio show.
The interview starts at around 5:25 in. (And if you just want Gary and not music, and so prefer to skip the midshow musical interlude, that runs from 25:36 to 28:40.)
Kevin Carson in CounterPunch.
Greetings from Lancaster NH, where I have wifi internet access but no cellphone signal. PorcFest is great fun so far – it’s like Woodstock for rational people. Seeing lots of old friends. Beautiful countryside also; nice to be in this neck of the woods again. There’s a C4SS/ALL table where the literature looks vaguely familiar. I’ve given a couple of talks already and have more coming up.
Free Talk Live, a Keene-based libertarian radio show, is broadcasting from PorcFest all week. They interviewed me last night; you can listen here. My bit starts around 23:24.
Steven Cohen is terribly exercised over the “attack on public service.” At C4SS, David D’Amato and Kevin Carson respond.

Let’s first examine the favorite whipping boy of many people, “libertarianism.” The problem, as some of the more clever leftoids have argued, is that the ruling class will look through this laundry list and throw their weight behind the parts of it that strengthen their position, and discard the rest, thus making libertarianism into a less aggressively socially conservative form of conservatism.
“Lower taxes?”
Sure, let’s lower taxes for the rich.“Less regulation?”
Well, let’s remove the regulations that counteract corporate power, but not the other ones (see: Enron).“Legalize drugs?”
No friggin’ way, chief.But what’s not clearly understood is that this is also true for “liberalism” and so-called “social democracy” or “democratic socialism” or what have you. Modern American “liberalism” is simply Mass Corporatism on steroids.
