  • Massacre at the Ballot: The Punishing of the Tories

    Few would have staked their political fortune, let alone any other sort of reward, on a return of the British Conservatives on July 4.  The polls often lie, but none suggested that outcome.  The only question was the extent British voters would lacerate the Tories who have been in office for fourteen years, presiding over […]

  • The Dangerously Appealing Style of the Far Right

    The Dangerously Appealing Style of the Far Right

    Emilio Pettoruti (Argentina), Arlequín (‘Harlequin’), 1928. Before he won Argentina’s presidential election on 19 November, Javier Milei circulated a video of himself in front of a series of white boards.

  • The West’s blueprint for goading China was laid out in Ukraine

    The West’s blueprint for goading China was laid out in Ukraine

    The West is writing a script about its relations with China as stuffed full of misdirection as an Agatha Christie novel. In recent months, US and European officials have scurried to Beijing for so-called talks, as if the year were 1972 and Richard Nixon were in the White House. But there will be no dramatic, […]

  • Western Tales About China are Just Tales

    Introduction Western media never stop warning us of China: it menaces Taiwan, threatens its neighbors and shipping lanes in the South China Sea, and sticks military bases on Cuba.

  • The Left and the Ukraine War

    To be a leftist in the United States is a dispiriting experience, but in the last year one of the more dispiriting things has been to see the attitude of many leftists themselves on a subject of crucial importance: the war in Ukraine. The consensus of the Washington establishment remains that the U.S. must support […]

  • You Strike the Women, You Strike the Rock, You Will Be Crushed

    Arnold Böcklin (Switzerland), Isle of the Dead, 1880. What constitutes a crisis worthy of global attention? When a regional bank in the United States falls victim to the inversion of the yield curve (i.e., when short-term bond interest rates become higher than long-term rates), the Earth nearly stops spinning. The collapse of Silicon Valley Bank […]
