  • When Opposition Calls for “Free” and “Fair” Elections to Guarantee “Democracy” in Venezuela, What Do They Mean?

    When Opposition Calls for “Free” and “Fair” Elections to Guarantee “Democracy” in Venezuela, What Do They Mean?

    Since Hugo Chavez came to power in 1999, the US has attacked the Bolivarian Revolution in multiple ways, including through propaganda that categorize it as “authoritarian,” “unfree,” and “undemocratic.” This US propaganda assault is intended to dictate what should be done in Venezuela, including a return to “democracy,” with “free” and “fair” elections. Emboldened by […]

  • The Decline of Trumpism and the Crisis of Capitalism

    The chaotic Trump reign over US politics is showing critical signs of weakening on many fronts: Trumponomics is failing: Trumpian immigration policy has stirred a powerful backlash; Teflon Trump has been tarnished by his clumsy, slippery handling of the Epstein scandal; his foreign-policy contradictions and outrages have confused both international friends and foes alike; and […]

  • What Might Lenin Have Thought About the US-Israeli War on Iran (and the War in Ukraine)

    Facit indignatio versum (Indignation makes my verses) – Juvenal In his analyses of the causes of the first world war, Lenin stressed the importance of understanding the policies the belligerent states pursued before the war. Borrowing from the Prussian military theorist Carl von Clausewitz, the Bolshevik leader argued that war is politics by other (namely, […]

  • The Complicity of the Experts: When Knowledge Fails in an Age of War

    You may know that in Macedonia the academic disciplines of international relations, geopolitics, and international security were introduced long after the breakup of Yugoslavia. Everything started from scratch, and I would say that these fields are still in their infancy. With rare exceptions. In global terms, we are Lilliputians. Our academic community is small, our […]

  • Not a Third Party, a Third Force

    Not a Third Party, a Third Force

    In Part One of this planned series of articles, I wrote about the historical timeliness of a ‘third force’ strategy. I said, “This isn’t something pulled out of the air, or someone’s lofty dreams. It is grounded in historical experience in the United States over the last 60 or so years.” A progressive “third force,” […]

  • We’re Tired of Marco Rubio Speaking for Us

    “Put three Cubans in a room together, you’ll have five different opinions,” a Cuban friend of mine likes to joke. He was referring to debates in the town-hall meetings during Cuba’s constitutional convention process of 2018. But I immediately thought, of course, of any Nochebuena celebration at my dad’s house, just a few hundred miles […]

  • Middle Power Nonsense: Australia, Canada and Capitulating to the Iran War

    In his January speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney gave the impression of a banker turned soothsayer, a Daniel coming to judgment. Here was a born-again man of international relations who would rally the middle powers (from the middle) and try to assert influence and power in a […]

  • China Rejects a Joint US-China Hegemony

    In response to a question by a NBC reporter, Chinese foreign minister Wang Yi rejected US president Donald Trump’s format of a China-United States hegemony. Instead, Wang affirmed China’s anti-hegemony and pro-multipolarity positions. Said Wang, [W]e should not forget there are more than 190 countries on our planet. World history has always been written by […]

  • “Free Market” Charter Schools Wreak Havoc in Michigan

    “Free Market” Charter Schools Wreak Havoc in Michigan

    While the essence of the “free market” chaos, anarchy, and violence underpinning the charter school sector is the same across the U.S., the form it takes varies from state to state for different reasons. In Michigan, for example, about 80% of charter schools are openly for-profit charter schools, which is a disproportionately high number of […]

  • Is “Parallel Left” U.S. Media-Funding Puffin Foundation Also Funding J Street “Lobby” Group?

    Most U.S. Antiwar Movement organizers and U.S. Antiwar Movement supporters in the current decade are opposed to the U.S. power elite government’s bi-partisan policy of continuing to ship weapons to the genocidal Israeli war machine in 2026. And most U.S. Antiwar Movement organizers and U.S. Antiwar Movement supporters in the current decade support the Palestine […]
