  • How Not To Say “No Kings” to Venezuela

    How Not To Say “No Kings” to Venezuela

    Ukraine banner at a January 20 Trump Inauguration protest (Photo credit Sean Reynolds) In light of 18 October’s “No Kings” protests, which will undoubtedly fail to sanction President Trump’s moves toward war in Iran and Venezuela, I wrote up these notes for a peace group I work with on a recent interview I conducted for […]

  • From Nazi Germany to US-Israel – Who Are the Real Untermenschen?

    From Nazi Germany to US-Israel – Who Are the Real Untermenschen?

    Matt Haig’s The Humans (2013) uses sci fi, ‘speculative fiction’, for what it does best: reveal to us how lethal human beings are and how we need to control technology before it turns us into monsters and reduces planet Earth to … Gaza. This time it’s a simple tale of the seductiveness of ‘going native’ faced with […]

  • How to Tell When Authoritarians Become Fascists

    The times they are a-changin. And quickly. And not in a good way. And it’s scary. The façade of democracy is being ripped away by politicians who never liked it but lately feel emboldened to admit it. Most important of all, they have begun to act like unapologetic authoritarians. And brag about it. Suddenly the […]

  • 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 […]

  • Is Fascism on the Rise in Germany?

    The German establishment is in crisis. Is has ruled for 80 years by charting a middle course between progressive and conservative policies. Labor and business have cooperated to achieve social and economic stability. But that consensus isn’t functioning anymore. The standard of living is declining, crime is increasing, fear and anger infect social discourse. Nothing […]

  • The Possible Beginning of The End

    Proving beyond a shadow of a doubt that the only thing intellectually lower than Trump is his opposition, he was re-elected by a more solid margin than last time. After one of the dumbest and most slanted hit jobs on American consciousness, with tens of thousands of photos of Harris beaming as in contemplation of […]

  • 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 […]

  • Failure of “Lesser of Two Evils” Argument

    Failure of “Lesser of Two Evils” Argument

    As the U.S. presidential election goes into its final sprint, efforts to portray one candidate or the other in a good or bad light are increasingly evident. In this vein, we see Donald Trump called a fascist, including by Kamala Harris and John Kelly, former Trump chief of staff. Meanwhile, Harris is doing her utmost […]

  • Those Who Live in the Past are Doomed to Repeat it

    We all were sea-swallow’d, though some cast again, And by that destiny to perform an act Whereof what’s past is prologue, what to come In yours and my discharge.” ― William Shakespeare, The Tempest (II.i.) While Washington’s two favorite pit bulls, the Banderite entity and the Zionist entity, are being used to perpetrate a genocide […]

  • Is the “Lesser Evil” Really Less than the “Greater Evil?”

    2024 presidential candidates: Former President Donald Trump (left) and current Vice President Kamala Harris IMAGE/ABCNews When faced with two adverse unethical options, a person may try to avoid the more harmful immoral choice. This is ancient strategy people have talked and written about, and applied in various situations. In the US political parlance, the term […]
