    This Day in Anarchist History: The Spanish Revolution

    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 […]

  • “Genocide Joe” and “Fascist” Trump: What to Do!

    Joe Biden and other Democrat politicians portray the 2024 Presidential election as a choice between fascism and democracy.  Many avowed “socialists” echo that assertion.  Are they correct; or, are they misguided (given that the Party, which they back, is dominated by politicians who primarily serve capital and monstrous empire)? Palestine.  Biden and most Congress people of both […]

  • Lock Them BOTH Up!

    Lock Them BOTH Up!

    During the 2016 election Trump fanatics chanted “Lock her up,” referring to Hillary Clinton. The tables have now turned. Trump is a convicted criminal and Biden violates international law. In one of the most twisted forms of logic ever to appear in politics, liberals believe that screaming “Trump is a fascist” somehow proves that Biden […]

  • Unbecoming American: Judgement at Normandy

    Unbecoming American: Judgement at Normandy

    Those who learned or vaguely remember what they were taught in school in those deliberately boring hours devoted to the subject called “history” may be forgiven for their confusion at the progressive transformation of core myths from the mid-20th century. Among those are the bundle of fabrications that constitute the history of the “good war”. […]

  • Dogmatic Neoliberal Democrats

    Dogmatic Neoliberal Democrats

     Orientation How dare you! How can you write an article against the Democratic Party less than six months before the election? You must be a Trump supporter! We must keep Trump out of office no matter what! Vote Blue no matter who! (Or now, Vote Biden no matter what!) Only a privileged person would consider […]

  • Fascism: What’s in a Word?

    The word “fascism” is a lightning rod. No one wants to be called a fascist. Everyone is ready to call someone else a fascist. Like many highly charged words, the more common its usage becomes, the more inexact its meaning becomes. Today, Trump is a fascist, Putin is a fascist, Modi is a fascist, Radical […]

  • Aryan Idols and the Search for Indo-Europeans

    Aryan Idols and the Search for Indo-Europeans

    Orientation Mythology and folklore can be used for political and religious purposes whether they be to support socialism or fascism. What was going on at the end of the 19th  century politically and in the 1930s that made mythology so attractive to both German and French fascists? Why did the imagined gods of the Indo-Europeans […]

  • Victory Days: Military without Militarism?

    Victory Days: Military without Militarism?

    I could not have been a pacifist, if by that one means waiver of the use of physical force in disputes. The reason is simple. In my childhood I had to actually hit someone who threatened me or positioned himself as if he would in order to end at least two years of harassment, including […]

  • Are We Having an Election in November?

    With an important US presidential election — we are told — only months away, but one posing two repugnant, disheartening choices, it may be a good time to explore where we are and how we got here. What we can agree is that most of us, when asked, believe that things are going badly: an […]

  • The Palestine Congress

    Thank God for the German Hate Police! Or heil … or whatever the appropriate salutation is for these unsung heroes. They just saved us all from “hate” again! Yes, that’s right, once again, democracy-loving people here in New Normal Berlin and all across the New Normal world were right on the brink of being exposed […]
