  • Neocon Realists and Global Neoliberals Dead on Arrival

    Neocon Realists and Global Neoliberals Dead on Arrival

    Orientation Who are Neocons and Neoliberals today? In the collapsing Mordor society of today we have two contending foreign policy theoretical tendencies, the Neocon realists and the Neoliberal globalists. The Neocon realists are represented by people like Robert Kagan, Victoria Nuland, Steve Bannon and other war hawks who go back to the Bush Years (Rumsfeld, […]

  • Herbert Marcuse: New Left Revival?

    World events serve as a stage of constant search for how best to construct and maintain society, which is an underlying theme of some decades ago found in the works of Herbert Marcuse, 1898–1979, German-American philosopher of prominent fame during the 1960s considered an intellectual giant of his time. Charles Reitz, widely recognized as a […]

  • The Benevento Uprising

    In anarchist history, 8 April 1877, a group of anarchists including a young Errico Malatesta marched into the small village of Letino. Chaos ensued as they looted the town safe and burned the village tax documents and property deeds in the streets. It was one of the earliest examples of a new anarchist strategy: “Propaganda […]

  • Youth and Elders Together: Strategically Key?

    In my first couple of years of progressive activism in the late 60’s, many of those I worked with who were also young took a pretty dismissive view of elder activists. And it wasn’t just elders. “Don’t trust anyone over 30”– that was a widespread point of view. As I experienced it, I think a […]

  • Biden in November?

    Joe Biden and other Democrat politicians portray the upcoming Presidential election as a choice between fascism and democracy.  But Genocide Joe and most Congressional Democrats, like most Congressional Republicans, operate with an unadmitted mindset: that democratic rights are only for some people, and that oppressive fascistic rule is appropriate for certain others. Biden et al […]

  • Imperialism and Anti-imperialism Collide in Ukraine (Part 7)

    Previously, Part 6, I stated that weakening, cancelling Russia’s presence in the world, planning to partition it, or even destroying it has been a fixed U.S. objective. I also stated that U.S. anti-Russian hostility predates the events in Ukraine by decades. For that purpose, I gave two examples out of four. The following are the […]

  • The Struggle for Women’s Emancipation Will Always Be Worth It

    The Struggle for Women’s Emancipation Will Always Be Worth It

    8 March was not always International Women’s Day, nor has there always been any such day at all. The idea emerged from the Socialist International (also known as the Second International), where Clara Zetkin of the German Social Democratic Party and others fought from 1889 to hold a day to celebrate working women’s lives and […]

  • Rethinking Liberalism and Fascism

    Rethinking Liberalism and Fascism

    Liberalism thinks of fascism as the domination of extremist precision, the suppression of some creative vitality. The deliberative character of parliamentary democracy – the inconclusiveness of dialogue – is contrasted with the absolutist closure of fascism. What if we reversed the liberal value judgement regarding fascism? What if fascism consisted not of dogmatic fixity and […]

  • The Ugly Origins of Trump’s “America First” Policy

    People’s choice of words can be revealing.  That’s certainly the case with respect to one of Donald Trump’s favorite slogans, “America First.” In April 2016, Trump initially used the term in a campaign speech, proclaiming that “America First” would be “the major and overriding theme of my administration.”  The following year, in his inaugural address, […]

  • Is There a Future for the Left?

    …the Left narrative, no matter how accurate and intellectually powerful it may be, cannot expect to catch the imagination of the citizenry without including a vision for a real alternative future. Moreover, working-class institutions need to be reinstituted for the enhancement of class consciousness and authentic socialist parties need to be rediscovered for the Left […]
