Embracing Extinction
I argue that we should not be sad about species extinction because of the suffering inherent in nature.
A Further Defence of David Benatar's Asymmetry Argument for Antinatalism
I argue that Benatar's assymetry argument is perfectly explicable on the basis that the supposed benefits of creating someone are only relevant after they are created, and thus provide no *a priori* argument for procreation. I also discuss the issue of consent and manipulation in relation to procreation.
The Right to Die
Everyone should have the right to die. It is just as important as the right to life, as only when we have the right to die can we even begin to make up for the injustice of having been forced into life in the first place.
Abolition of Compulsory Education
Compulsory education does things to young people that we would never consider acceptable if done to adults. So can we justify it?
From Gun Control to Gun Abolition
We should take seriously the idea that guns should not just be controlled and monopolised by the state, but abolished altogether.
Anti-Immigration is Always Racism
Opposition to immigration is always rooted in racism, whether someone realises it or not. We'll examine the main arguments, that working people who immigrate are "stealing" jobs; that they depress wages; that they stress the welfare system; and that they over-burden local housing or transport systems. All of these arguments are ultimately based on prejudice.
It's Time to Rethink Anti-Capitalism
People throw around the word capitalism without having a particularly clear idea of what it means. People on the left also throw around the term 'anti-capitalism' without having a clear idea of what they think the alternative is. I argue that the terms 'capitalism' and 'anti-capitalism' are outdated.
Adultism and the Liberation of Children and Teenagers
Young people are the most oppressed human group in our society today. Find out about adultism here.
A Basic Income for Children
I argue that any proposal for Universal Basic Income should pay out to people of all ages at the same level.
Education is a Right, Compulsory Education is a Crime
I argue that education should be voluntary and not coerced.
Your Children Aren't Your Property. An Anti-Natalist Perspective
Children have such limited autonomy in the earliest part of their life - so should we be wishing that on them?
The Solidarity Economy as a Strategy for Revolution
A constructive guide to building a new society. A re-appraisal of the 'dual power' strategy.
