In 2008 James Kirchick "angry white man" article revealed that Ron Paul's newsletters had made racist,sexist,and derogatory comments geared towards African Americans,women,and the LGBT community[1]. Ron Paul attempted to deny any involvement in an interview with CNN,but his attempt to cover up the newsletter failed when it was revealed that he had actually admitted to writing them,and he even defended the articles. "Paul, who earlier this week said he still wrote the newsletter for subscribers, was unavailable for comment Thursday. But his spokesman, Michael Quinn Sullivan, accused Morris of "gutter-level politics."[2]

Economy of Medieval Iceland[edit]
Medieval Iceland was a communal society, based on artisan production, with extensive communal institutions as well as individual "ownership" (i.e. use) and a form of social self-administration, the thing -- both local and Iceland-wide -- which can be considered a "primitive" form of the anarchist communal assembly. (1).The political transition within Icelandic society went hand in hand with an economic transition (both tendencies being mutually reinforcing). Initially, when Iceland was settled, large-scale farming based on extended households with kinsmen was the dominant economic mode. This semi-communal mode of production changed as the land was divided up (mostly through inheritance claims) between the 10th and 11th centuries. This new economic system based upon individual possession and artisan production was then slowly displaced by tenant farming, in which the farmer worked for a landlord, starting in the late 11th century. This economic system (based on tenant farming, i.e. capitalistic production) ensured that "great variants of property and power emerged."
