  • 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 […]

  • The New Normal Right

    OK, this will be one of my non-satirical essays … or mostly non-satirical essays. It will serve as a companion piece to The New Normal Left, another non-satirical essay that I published in April 2023, which was basically just a reiteration of a speech I gave at a conference in London.
