Cato’s Robert A. Levy Center for Constitutional Studies was established to restore the principles of limited constitutional government that are the foundation of liberty. Toward those ends, Cato publishes books and studies, conducts conferences and forums, and produces the annual Cato Supreme Court Review. The Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) is a nonprofit organization devoted to advancing individual liberty and defending constitutional rights. FPC accomplishes its mission through legislative and grassroots advocacy, legal and historical research, litigation, education, and outreach programs. FPC’s legislative and grassroots advocacy programs promote constitutionally based public policy. Its historical research aims to discover the founders’ intent and the Constitution’s original meaning. And its legal research and advocacy aim to ensure that constitutional rights maintain their original scope. Hamilton Lincoln Law Institute (HLLI) is a public-interest law firm dedicated to protecting free markets, free speech, limited government, and separation of powers; and against regulatory abuse and rent-seeking. HLLI represents clients and files briefs as amicus curiae in support of these principles. 1 Rule 37 statement: All parties were timely notified and consented to the filing of this brief. No part of this brief was authored by any party’s counsel, and no person or entity other than amici funded its preparation or submission. 2 It is funded entirely through charitable donations and court-awarded attorneys’ fees. Litigation opponents have sought to harass HLLI and its clients over the identity of its donors. Reason Foundation is a nonpartisan and nonprofit organization, founded in 1978 to promote liberty by developing, applying, and communicating libertarian principles and policies, including free markets, individual liberty, and the rule of law. Reason advances its mission by publishing Reason magazine, as well as website commentary, and by issuing research reports. Reason also communicates through books and articles, and appearances at conferences and on broadcast media. Reason staff consult with public officials on the national, state, and local level. Reason selectively participates as amicus curiae in cases raising constitutional issues. The Individual Rights Foundation (IRF) is the legal

  • Taking Down Trumpism from Africa: Delegitimation, Not Collaboration, Please Patrick Bond 9 Feb 2017
    Taking down Trumpism from Africa: Delegitimation, not collaboration, please Patrick Bond 9 Feb 2017 In the US there are already effective Trump boycotts seeking to delegitimise his political agenda. Internationally, protesters will be out wherever he goes. And from Africa, there are sound arguments to play a catalytic role, mainly because the most serious threat to humanity and environment is Trump’s climate change denialism. Consider two contrasting strategies to deal with the latest mutation of US imperialism: we should protest Donald Trump and Trumpism at every opportunity as a way to contribute to the unity of the world’s oppressed people, and now more urgently link our intersectional struggles; or we should somehow take advantage of his presidency to promote the interests of the ‘left’ or the ‘Global South’ where there is overlap in weakening Washington’s grip (such as in questioning exploitative world trading regimes). The latter position is now rare indeed, although before the election Hillary Clinton’s commitment to militaristic neoliberalism generated so much opposition that to some, the anticipated ‘paleo-conservatism’ of an isolationist-minded Trump appeared attractive. One international analyst of great reknown, Boris Kagarlitsky, makes this same argument this week largely because Trump is questioning pro-corporate ‘free trade’ deals. But the argument for selective cooperation with Trump was best articulated in Pambazuka as part of a series of otherwise compelling reflections by the Ugandan writer and former South Centre director Yash Tandon. Tandon might re-examine the ‘space’ he can ‘seize’ with Trump, the ‘fraud’ Since more than any other individual Tandon helped make the 1999 Seattle and Cancun World Trade Organisation summits a profound disaster for world elites, I take him very seriously.

  • From Twitter to Charlottesville: Analyzing the Fighting Words Between the Alt-Right and Antifa
    International Journal of Communication 13(2019), 297–318 1932–8036/20190005 From Twitter to Charlottesville: Analyzing the Fighting Words Between the Alt-Right and Antifa ADAM KLEIN Pace University, USA This study examines the Twitter rivalry of two groups of the alt-Right and antifascist movement to understand how certain appeals, launched through social media, may promote material violence. Several studies have explored the impact of extreme political rhetoric in motivating hostile responses, such as the one that erupted at the 2017 Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia. The present study contributes to this literature by examining how Twitter can offer a staging ground for political hostilities to swell, circulate, and sometimes activate the call for confrontation. A textual analysis deconstructs the Twitter accounts of the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers and Antifa over a six-week-period culminating in the violent Charlottesville rally. A focus on the groups’ framing of the opposition and use of persuasive appeals offers insight into the priming nature of political extremism happening on Twitter today. Keywords: fighting words, alt-Right, Antifa, Twitter, Charlottesville, Unite the Right rally The Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, which began with a parade of torch-bearing White nationalists and ended in the tragic killing of a counterprotester, exposed the public to what one news outlet called America’s “ugly wake-up call” (Nelson, 2017). Though culture war conflicts between the Far Right and Far Left had been flaring up for months, occasionally erupting in cities such as Berkeley and Philadelphia, few Virginia officials had expected the turnout and turmoil from this event that began with the attempted removal of a Confederate statue.
