  • MOLEGHAF: Armed Attacks in Port-au-Prince

    On October 20th, 2024, the National Movement for Liberty and Equality of Haitians for Fraternity (Mouvement National pour la Liberté et L’égalité des Haïtiens pour la Fraternité, MOLEGHAF), a member organization of the Black Alliance for Peace (BAP), issued a statement on the increasing violence perpetrated by the paramilitary group “Viv Ansanm” (or “Live Together”) […]

  • Our Feminist Future Includes a Liberated Palestine

    In thirty years, on some fall morning like today, we wake up and turn on the news. No one is talking about banning abortion or “legalizing abortion” because we don’t talk about wombs like they exist to be legislated around anymore. Instead they are announcing the closing of U.S. military bases in the Pacific, and […]

  • The Myopia of Anglo-American Rulers

    The Myopia of Anglo-American Rulers

    International Relations (IR) theory fails to deliver on one of its key promises, specifically to produce positivist, value free analysis. What we encounter in the vast majority of international theory is the provincial or parochial normative purpose of defending and celebrating the ideal of the West in world politics. IR theory can no longer be […]

  • Does Your Feminism Include Palestine?

    Women’s Marches are being planned across the country ahead of Election Day to “show the strength of our feminist movement.” However, curiously missing from the talking points around the strength of the feminist movement is the women of Palestine – who have endured the brutality of anti-feminist policies for decades under the illegal occupation by […]

    Did 1.4 billion Chinese Achieving Poverty Alleviation Cut into Washington’s Cake?

    The hopeless fault-finder. Illustration: Liu Rui/GT These days the People’s Republic of China is celebrating its 75th anniversary. Over the past 75 years, China has grown from a poor and backward country to the world’s second-largest economy, with about one-sixth of the world’s population escaping poverty. However, as China continued to rise, the US’ attitude […]

  • The Most Important US Presidential Election of Our Lifetime

    The Most Important US Presidential Election of Our Lifetime

    Left-liberals plea every four years that this really is the most important election ever and time to hold our noses and send a Democrat to the White House. The manifest destiny of US world leadership, we are told, is at stake, as is our precious democracy which we have so generously been exporting abroad. Let’s […]

  • Anti-Immigrant Agitation in a Nation of Immigrants

    In recent days, Donald Trump and his Republican running mate, JD Vance, have doubled down on their false and defamatory claims about legally-admitted Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio, thus churning up widespread fears, bomb threats, and school evacuations.  Claiming that these migrants were destroying the American “way of life,” Trump promised that, if elected, he […]

  • The Violence of Development

    The Violence of Development

    A revised version (September 2024) of the open-access e-book Food Dependency and Dispossession: Resisting the New World Order (2022) by Colin Todhunter is now available. A brand-new concluding chapter, “The Violence of Development”, rounds off a book that presents a scathing critique of the global industrial agriculture system and its proponents. The book takes aim […]

  • 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. It went over pretty […]
