Now that neo-conservative Bill Kristol has vacated his NY Times op-ed slot, there has been some loose talk about getting a libertarian to replace him.
In my opinion, the Times could do no better than steadfastly principled libertarian Wendy McElroy.
If you agree, please politely make the request in your own words to the NY Times editorial page editor: editorial@nytimes.com
The first, as far as I know, explicitly agorist-themed music tour is in the works. Billing themselves as “THE CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE TOUR“, bands Ill Patriot and Look What I Did are using Facebook to line up folks to come out for tour dates in Tennessee, Kentucky, Georgia, Virginia and North Carolina.

I’ll be on Knappster’s new podcast talk show Fridays Live at Five this coming Friday to talk about the Center for a Stateless Society.
Chris Lempa of Black Oak Media (and other fine sites) has released a PDF sample issue, call it “Issue # 0″, of ALLiance: a journal of theory and strategy. Good stuff!
Michael Adams of NaturalNews.com has released an entertaining and educational new song: I Want My Bailout Money
Earnest libertarians fleeing the Libertarian Party for the Alliance of the Libertarian Left unfortunately have a new reason to be embarassed about their former association.
“The Lightfoot case has legal standing, due to litigant, Libertarian Gail Lightfoot’s vice presidential candidacy in California.”
Leave the LP to choke on its own vomit when its run by nobody except those who think anarchism is nuts but THIS is serious politics!
Although I’m still in the middle of a site overhaul, renewed efforts to bootstrap the Center for a Stateless Society as a market anarchist educational org are gradually moving forward. We’re promoting Kevin Carson’s new book. Also, Carson’s first quarterly study for the Center has been published in PDF format - Industrial Policy: New Wine in Old Bottles. To complete the Carsonian trifecta, check out his latest commentary piece — Ecuador Repudiates Foreign Debt: It’s About Time.
Finally, don’t forget that we have an upcoming market anarchist bloggers conference call this coming Saturday morning. Drop in to chat about current events, blogging or C4SS.
If you are dissatisfied with current alternatives in organized libertarian advocacy, please consider providing some of the crucial early support we need to build c4ss.org into a going concern.
Samuel Edward Konkin III’s much anticipated introductory book on agorism, An Agorist Primer, has been posthumously published by KoPubCo and arrived in my mail yesterday. A slim hardcover volume, I read it easily in a short amount of time.
Very simply, this is the book on agorism that you give your mom. There’s no other way to describe it.
If I had a million Federal Reserve Notes right now, I’d buy 50,000 copies of it to give to public libraries all across the United States, even if that meant I didn’t have money left to buy lunch. I’m that excited about the book precisely because the book itself didn’t excite me. I’m a mutant. I like weird stuff. New ways of thinking have to pass a point, though, at which most people become bored with them before they just simply get accepted as the way things ought to be. This is the boring little book to give to normal people — and the potential for revolutionary change that creates excites the hell out of me.
