  • Chiquita Ain’t Got Nutin on Us!

    The $64,000 question, especially for all you baby boomers out there, is when exactly did we become a Banana Republic? One should realize that the power of money has always tainted our electoral system. This is why the Super Rich have maintained their position of controlling who rules this empire. Sadly, it seems forever it […]

  • Postliberalism: A Dangerous “New” Conservatism

    Postliberalism: A Dangerous “New” Conservatism

    In Wilhelm von Humboldt’s book The Limits of State Action (1792), one of the most thoughtful expressions of classical liberalism, these passages appear: The true end of Man… is the highest and most harmonious development of his powers to a complete and consistent whole. Freedom is the first and indispensable condition which the possibility of […]

  • The US Left Must Unwaveringly Stand for Palestinian Freedom

    The US Left Must Unwaveringly Stand for Palestinian Freedom

    The US “socialist” left currently playing the bothsides-ism game with Israeli genocide of Palestinians in the name of some bullshit notion of ‘nuance,’ must remember the words of Howard Zinn: “You can’t be neutral on a moving train.” Nothing is accomplished with an abstract support of Palestine when it’s convenient. It is when the empire’s […]

  • Fruitless Gestures: Victoria Bans the Nazi Salute

    It took place with hardly any debate, though it interested some parliamentary members at the committee stage.  The Australian state of Victoria now faces laws that will lock a person up for 12 months or punish individuals with fines of A$23,000 or above if they dare enact a gesture.  That gesture is giving, with intent, […]

  • Cornel West Runs for President: You Can’t Be a Spoiler if the System Is Already Rotten

    Under the less than inspiring implicit slogan of “You’re Stuck with Biden,” the Democratic Party has foregone presidential primary debates this election season. Not even bothering with the pretense of democratic people’s choice, naked bourgeois rule is offered to their captured constituencies. Joe Biden’s approval rating has sunk to a dismal 40.5%. USA Today asks: […]

  • Degrowth: How Anti-Worker Would It Be?

    Degrowth: How Anti-Worker Would It Be?

    The year 2023 saw the hottest Summer on record in the northern hemisphere while those in the southern hemisphere felt the hottest winter on record. It was followed by a Fall with terrifying storms and floods across the globe. The number of people attributing climate catastrophe to economic growth is mounting. Not all agree that […]

  • Multipolarity: False Hope for the Left

    Since the end of the Cold War, important, profound changes in the relations between capitalist states, coupled with equally sharp changes in the content of those relations, have seduced left-wing intellectuals and academics to embrace those countries whose governments clash– for untold reasons– with the political or economic demands of the US and its allies. […]

  • Brief for Murder: Pinochet’s Apologists Five Decades On

    During the Cold War, assassinations most foul were entertained as necessary measures to advance the set cause.  In Latin America, military regimes were keenly sponsored as reliably brutal antidotes to the Marxist tic, or at the very least the tic in waiting.  Any government deemed by Washington to be remotely progressive would become ripe targets […]

  • Greater of Two Evils

    Greater of Two Evils

    I’m reposting this article about the Democratic Party five years after it was published because after re-reading it, I wouldn’t change a thing. In addition, the Democratic Party has become even more right-wing since it gained power in 2020. At the end of the article I will name the many ways it has gotten still […]

  • Beneath the Polycrisis Is the Singular Dilemma of Humanity Called Capitalism

    Beneath the Polycrisis Is the Singular Dilemma of Humanity Called Capitalism

    Tsherin Sherpa (Nepal), Lost Spirits, 2014. Dilemmas of humanity abound. There is little need to look at statistical data to know that we are in a spiral of crises, from the environmental and climate crisis to the crises of poverty and hunger. In 1993, the philosophers Edgar Morin and Anne-Brigitte Kern used the term ‘polycrisis’ […]
