The Moldbug account of communism, simplified, is that the that the Soviets were Democrat agents, a proxy force for the blue empire of the consulates against the red empire of the bases, and they were collapsed when they started to break free of the Democrats. Simplified even further: “America is a communist countryâ€. Of course any useful truth is necessarily a simplification. Reality is always more complex than even the …

Trumpcare passes the house
Still has to pass the Senate, but already the Democrats are terrified. The essential and important feature of Trumpcare is that it “denies insurance to millions of Americans”. In other words, when you seek medical care, when those who pay for and operate our system of medical care seek medical care, they will not find one hundred drug addicts looking for free drugs and one hundred bums looking for free …
Trump probably on track
When Trump says one thing to us, and another thing to his enemies, we should not necessarily assume he is lying to us and telling the truth to his enemies. One very promising sign is that he invited Duterte, who is on the State Department death list, to the White House, which would imply that he can control who gets murdered in the United States and who does not. I …
Violence, repression, and freedom
When the left stopped attempting to communicate with its enemies, stopped listening, stopped talking, and instead dehumanized, demonized and no platformed us, I knew that this would necessarily lead to violence against us, and eventually war. The violence has started. War comes. Today, if you support freedom of speech and the right to peaceably assemble, you are a nazi. So, what the hell, you had better ally and organize with …
The enemy within
Trump’s CIA director, Pompeo, tells us that Julian Assange, the leader of wikileaks is “on the wrong side of history.†That is commie language, commie thinking. To say that history has a side in earthly political struggles is history reified and personified as the Jewish God. Probably he is a cultural Marxist rather than an old style Marxist, since old style Marxists are mighty thin on the ground these days. …
Trump accomplishments.
The invasion of illegals has largely stopped. Though no wall yet, arrests of illegals have fallen to a tiny fraction of what they used to be – because now when they try to cross, they will likely be arrested, so they don’t even try. The wall matters, but men with guns matter more, and if there is no wall yet, there are more men with guns with more authority to …
Progressives care so very deeply
White helmets killing babies. Progressives care deeply about people far away. About people conveniently far away.
Allying with far to destroy near
Whosover wants to overthrow Assad of Syria, wants to murder all Alawites and murder or expel all Christians. There used to be a moderate opposition, composed entirely of do-gooder employees of “NGOs”, which is to say, employees of the State Department, but they all got out when things went bad, and are now employed on various do-gooder international grants all over the world, such as setting Somali refugees on middle …
The likely shape of a Trump autocoup
For Trump to actually be the executive of the United States government would be something very like a autocoup, a coup by the merely elected government against the permanent government. At present the government continues to fund the left, the IRS continues to target the tea party and conservative organizations. An overwhelming proportion of the “refugees” admitted to the US are still black male military age Muslims screaming for infidel …
Congressman Steve King’s solution to healthcare
Instead of having a plan developed behind closed doors and then you have to vote for it to find out what is in it, you legislate the old fashioned way, congressional vote by vote. “A return to regular order“. The great advantage of this is its great disadvantage. Congress cannot centrally plan the economy, or any significant part of the economy. No one central plan can receive a majority vote, …
