I challenge the familiar moralist narrative of the American Civil War as a simple clash between a racist South and a morally awakened North. Building on two earlier pieces, Slavery as Socialism and The Founding Fathers’ White Supremacy. This article reframes the war as an administrative and constitutional crisis rooted in the founding logic of the republic itself. Slavery was not incidental; it was foundational to the constitutional compact. But the conflict that erupted in 1861 was not primarily a moral issue. It was a dispute over how an exclusionary, white supremacist polity would be governed, administered, and consolidated as the nation expanded. One side favored centralized authority, national markets, and a free white labor order; the other favored decentralized sovereignty, organic hierarchy, and resistance to market abstraction.

I do not moralize or sanitize either side. It traces the continuity from the racist premises at the founding through the political economy of the antebellum period to the violent war that reconstituted the American state. If you want to understand why the war occurred on its own terms, not as a morality play, this article lays the institutional logic bare.

Today is the court trial, wish me luck!

The Bellamy salute, originally devised by James B. Upham, was intended to complement the American Pledge of Allegiance authored by Francis Bellamy. Referred to as the "flag salute" when paired with the Pledge of Allegiance, Bellamy actively endorsed this gesture, leading to its association with his name. Both the Pledge and its accompanying salute were introduced in 1892.

I did some final revisions to this, they add more context. I’m now thinking about doing an article defending segregation and the KKK.

Update on my dog case: Today was the scheduled hearing. The court focused on the core legal question of ownership and right to possession, I got all her “evidence” thrown out, and the judge indicated a written decision will be issued soon, including a clear timeline if a return order is made. I’m respecting the process, keeping things professional, and staying hopeful. I appreciate the support, and I’ll share the next update once the court issues its order.

For the record, as a White Man, a National Socialist, and an Anti-Semite, I stand 100% with President Maduro and the Venezuelan Chavistas. 🇻🇪

Maduro is not White, Venezuela is not a White country----but ALL the worst enemies of the White race are enemies of Maduro and the Venezuelan Chavistas. Therefore, if you side with them against Maduro, you are betraying the White Race. You are on the side of Lindsey Graham, Benjamin Netanyahu, Miriam Adelson, Tom Cotton et al against your own people.

"But! But! The enemy of my enemy is NOT my friend, duuuuuuh!"

You may believe that, but the Jews who are destroying our race believe that about you. The enemy of their enemy IS their friend. Anyone not standing in complete solidarity with the Chavistas is A FRIEND TO THE JEWS.

Goebbels said: "One must either affirm or reject anti-Semitism. He who defends the Jews harms his own people. One can only be a Jewish lackey or a Jewish opponent. Opposing the Jews is a matter of personal hygiene."

If you're not on the side of Maduro, you are a JEWISH LACKEY. And you're unhygienic.

Dream galaxy gas rotation.

Here I argue that the central issue is the precedent set by a U.S. cross border capture of a sitting Venezuelan head of state, framing it as a sovereignty and international law crisis grounded in the UN Charter’s prohibition on the use of force. I concede Venezuela’s corruption and governance failures while contending that U.S. sanctions materially worsened the economic collapse and migration surge, citing U.S. GAO findings on sanctions’ impacts and research linking sanctions policy to Venezuelan migration flows. I also challenge popular justifications for intervention, including oil as a strategic “need” and the conversion of criminal allegations into a blank check for coercion, warning that normalizing extraterritorial raids turns “law enforcement” into a cover for force. The article closes by advocating lawful prosecution, targeted accountability, and a Venezuelan led settlement rather than regime change by force.

Everyone argues about whether fascism is “right wing” or “left wing” like the label solves anything. This article does something simpler and more brutal: it grades regimes by how many of Marx’s 10 Communist manifesto planks they functionally fulfill. Fascist Italy and Nazi Germany end up adjacent to the communist states because totalitarian regimes converge on the same tools: property made contingent, credit and industry steered from the center, labor disciplined, education fused to state. The US barely overlaps and that gap matters in context.
