  • Main-Streeting Hate and Bigotry in Trump’s America

    Main-Streeting Hate and Bigotry in Trump’s America

    At demonstrations, most wear matching outfits; hoodies, hats, blue t-shirts and chinos. Although they claim to eschew violence, they come prepared; donning matching shin guards like catchers wear in baseball, and often wield red, white and blue shields. They wear body cameras so their media team can process and post collected footage. Some are calling […]

  • This Day in Anarchist History: The Assassination of Colonel Falcón

    On this day in Anarchist History, November 14 1909, we remember young Simón Radowitzky and his assassination of Colonol Falcón, the head of the federal police in Argentina. Colonel Falcón rose through the ranks of the military by conducting genocide and enslaving Mapuche and other Indigenous People in Patagonia and brought those same skills to […]

  • Internationalism: Is It Dead or Dying?

    It is difficult to think about Cuba without engaging emotionally. I couldn’t get back to sleep the other night, distressed over the tragic blackout of nearly the entire country with a hurricane approaching. Yes, the genocide in Palestine and Lebanon evokes similar fits of emotion and sleeplessness; the actions of the Israeli government are obscenely […]

  • Our Revolutions Are for the Survival and Development of Human Civilisation

    Mereka Yang Terusir Dari Tanahnya (Those Chased Away from Their Land), 1960. Credit: Amrus Natalsya, a member of the Indonesian revolutionary cultural organisation Lekra.

  • 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 […]

  • 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 […]

  • Venezuela: Where Next?

    Venezuela: Where Next?

    We must speak the truth: therein lies our strength, and the masses, the people, the multitude will decide in actual practice, after the struggle, whether we have strength. — VI Lenin, 1905 Hugo Chavez will live on as one of the most outstanding foes of US imperialism in our time. His defiance of successive US […]

  • Two Cheeks of the Same

    Two Cheeks of the Same

    Needless is it for me to say to the thinking workingman that he has no choice between these two capitalist parties, that they are both pledged to the same system and that whether the one or the other succeeds, he will still remain the wage-working slave he is today. — Eugene V Debs, “Outlook for […]

  • How the Mohawk Valley Popularized a Brutal Method of Strikebreaking

    How the Mohawk Valley Popularized a Brutal Method of Strikebreaking

    Labor unrest has been a part of history for generations. Some sources even point to the first ever recorded strike taking place in 1170 BCE Egyptover delays in receiving building materials. With the emergence of organized labor, it was a dialectical inevitability that the bourgeois class would take on their own efforts to undermine the […]

  • War, Genocide and Coups: Biden/Harris and the Irreversible Crisis of Neoliberal Fake Democracy

    One of the defining characteristics of the current crisis is the speed at which contradictory social, political and ideological dynamics can change with contradictions shifting from primary to secondary, antagonistic to non-antagonist and conflicts of interests, as well as struggles among the capitalist oligarchy producing new intra-bourgeois class alignments. The replacement of Joe Biden as […]
