  • The Great Revolutionary Divide

    The Great Revolutionary Divide

    Europe, mid-1800s: Two men stood at the center of a storm that would shape socialism’s future. Karl Marx, a German-born philosopher, believed in seizing the state (central government) and wielding its machinery to crush the ruling class. To him, power was a tool, not a curse. Mikhail Bakunin, a Russian anarchist strategist, saw it differently. […]

  • How Did Vzglyad Know That Trump’s Meeting with the Generals Was a Loyalty Test? Because Russians Remember Hitler’s Führerreid of 1935?

    For the first time, the White House has issued a piece of paper (lead image, top), signed by the President, attempting to install a form of fuhrer fascism to deter, arrest, and if need be shoot to kill any form of expression which amounts to disloyalty to the President and to his MAGA doctrine. The […]

    Might May Rule the Moment, but Right Prevails Forever

    Zainul Abedin (Bangladesh), Untitled, 1944. On 28 November 1924, Sun Yat-sen delivered a speech in Kobe, Japan titled China and Japan: Natural Friends, Unnatural Enemies.

  • This Day in Anarchist History: The Oaxaca Commune

    On this day in anarchist history, June 14th 2006, we remember the Oaxaca Commune, when a sit-in organized by a militant teacher’s union transformed into a months-long popular insurrection against the Mexican state.

  • Trump Fascism?

    With the second coming of Trump, many who profess left credentials again proclaim fascism is back, after we voted “fascism” out in 2020. Every four years we hear the story: “this election is the most important in our lifetime.” Republicans are the new fascism, Democrats are the lesser evil. No matter corporate interests fund both […]

  • Beyond Socialist Purity

    Beyond Socialist Purity

    Orientation International political economy at a crossroads As most of you know the world economy is peppered with fault lines. On one hand we have the rising in the East of a new economic block, the BRICS nations and their friends. On the other hand, in the West we have a rapidly declining Yankeedom and […]

  • Did Marx Have Anything Good to Say About Capitalism?

    Those who assume that Karl Marx emphasized only the negative characteristics of capitalism such as alienation, crisis, and exploitation are mistaken. Indeed, throughout his intellectual career – in philosophic, journalistic, historical, and economic writings – Marx stressed the creative and progressive features of capital. His social theory makes no sense unless essential duality is retained. […]

  • This Day in Anarchist History: The Assassination of Colonel Falcón

    On this day in Anarchist History, November 14 1909, we remember young Simón Radowitzky and his assassination of Colonol Falcón, the head of the federal police in Argentina. Colonel Falcón rose through the ranks of the military by conducting genocide and enslaving Mapuche and other Indigenous People in Patagonia and brought those same skills to […]

  • The Harris-Walz-Cheney-Bolton-“Socialist” United Front against Trump

    I was disappointed to find two of my old comrades (avowed Marxists) distributing a video appeal to vote for Harris-Walz to save “American representative democracy” from the threat of Trump “fascism”.  Whatever one believes about a possible 2nd Trump presidency, there are enormous defects in said video appeal (which largely repeats the same narrative as […]

    On this day in anarchist history, July 19th of 1936, fascists attempted to take control of Spain by force. While most of the more liberal elements of Spanish society rested on their laurels, the anarchists were preparing to defend against the fascist coup in the making. On that day officers from the Spanish army led […]
