  • Techno-Capitalist-Feudalism Is Malthusian to the Core!

    Introduction All rigged markets, all rigged financial-mechanisms, and, as well as, all the rigged authoritarian-structures of techno-capitalist-feudalism, indeed, did achieve their maturity in the early 21st century, through rampant surveillance, social conditioning, and data-collection. Which did prompt some political-economists to announce the effective end of capitalism in favor of a new economic system that is closer […]

  • Violating the Sherman Act: Google’s Illegal Monopoly

    The occasion sparked much in the way of visionary language and speculative musings.  This month, one of the world’s most conspicuous and dominant behemoths of Silicon Valley was found to be operating an illegal monopoly in internet search and advertising markets, thereby breaching the Sherman Act which renders monopolisation, attempted monopolisation and conspiracy to monopolise […]

    Is There an Answer to Inflation?

    Inflation is a scourge on those cursed with living under the capitalist order. It especially punishes those least able to weather the pain of constantly falling behind rising prices and expanding debt. Inflation harms nearly all working people whose income growth trails the rise in prices, including those with union contracts that bridge periods of […]

  • Imperial Fruit: Bananas, Costs and Climate Change

    The curved course of the ubiquitous banana has often been the peel of empire, its sweetness masking a sharp, bitter legacy.  Arab conquerors introduced it to the African continent as they cultivated a slave market.  European imperialism did the same to the Americas via the Canary Islands, insinuating the luscious fruit into markets of solid […]

However, if one reads the entirety of Solzhenitsyn as […]

    Eight Contradictions of the Imperialist “Rules-Based Order”

    Boris Mikhailov (Ukraine SSR), Red, 1968–1975. The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists has now moved the Doomsday Clock to 90 seconds to midnight, the closest it has been to the symbolic time of the annihilation of humanity and the Earth since 1947. This is alarming, which is why leaders in the Global South have been […]

  • The Progenitor of Inequalities: Corporate Personhood vs. Human Beings

    The word “inequality” is everywhere in the media. It usually refers either to race, gender, rich vs. poor, or other differences between human beings. Absent from the public debate is the biggest perpetrator of “inequality” against human beings – the corporate entity itself. Ever since 1886 when a U.S. Supreme Court reporter, in a headnote […]
