Spiked-online talks to Gerard Casey, author of Libertarian Anarchy, whom you know from his recent speech at the Mises Institute and interview by Tom Woods, read the piece here: Ireland's anarchist professor — Do we really need the state at all?

Now I remember why I don't tend to read sp!ked much. In response to the death of Thomas Szasz they reprint an essay from...Peter Sedgwick? There may be valid critiques of Szasz but Peter Sedgwick of all people was not the one to make them. Sedgwick's lame brand of academic neo-Marxism was hardly bearable when he was alive, and this is the best you can bring to print in 2012?

And lest we forget their tag line:

Following the death of Thomas Szasz, we republish an extract from Peter Sedgwick’s critique of anti-psychiatry’s leading light.

I guess that book Szasz wrote debunking that whole notion got passed over for editorial convenience.

On the left the BBC is accused of being a right-wing propaganda machine, and on the right it is accused of being Marxist. I don't know if that's a good or bad thing, but as Nye Bevan used to say;

"We know what happens to people who stay in the middle of the road. They get run over."

I've been looking for this website that I heard about on here, it was british (I think) and had atleast a marxist founding. The anti war articles were pretty good and I cant for the life of me remember what it was called. I think the theme was a purple color but I cant remember.

Thanks all
