    How Not To Say “No Kings” to Venezuela

    Ukraine banner at a January 20 Trump Inauguration protest (Photo credit Sean Reynolds) In light of 18 October’s “No Kings” protests, which will undoubtedly fail to sanction President Trump’s moves toward war in Iran and Venezuela, I wrote up these notes for a peace group I work with on a recent interview I conducted for […]

  • Imperial Double Standards: Warfare for Venezuela and Welfare for Argentina

    Venezuela’s Bolivarian Revolution has been in the vanguard of the Global South. In contrast, President Javiar Milei’s government in Argentina represents the logical, though absurd, consequence of extreme neoliberalism, which he calls “anarcho-capitalism.” Western Hemispheric geopolitics reflect the weakening of US hegemony and an emerging multipolarity, especially with China’s entry as a major regional trading […]

  • October 18, November 4: World Changing?

    Many millions on the streets this Saturday all over the country loudly proclaiming: No Kings! Yes to Democracy!–followed on November 4th by victories for Mamdani in NYC, Sherrill in NJ, Spanberger in Virginia, redistricting in California, and more–could this be truly “world changing?” On one level, no. This is not a Presidential election year or […]

  • Epstein Files: Don’t Hold Your Breath

    I have noticed supposed left organizations considering the Epstein files their secret weapon and naively pouring energy into advocating release. It is a doomed strategy. Is it insightful that Trump has not already released the Epstein Files? Of course it is, partially because it indicates the state is probably hiding something, but more so because […]

  • The Convenient Lie

    The Convenient Lie

    Newspaper: Democracy. The case of death is not at all the cause of the dead, it’s the cause of the living. — Ghassan Kanafani, from the novel Men Under the Sun My people are fearless and the gallows to each person among us is the instance that precedes the dawn of a new day for […]

  • Real Deal: A Manifesto for All Working Americans

    The story of humanity is a story of struggle, not just between classes, but against all forms of oppression. We face a rigged system where the powerful exploit us as workers and consumers, as well as based on our differences of identity. Further, the cultural parts of our political economic system socialize us to internalize […]

  • The Black Alliance for Peace Condemns Establishment of Colonial Military Governance Over Haiti by UN Security Council

    On Tuesday, Sep 30, 2025, the UN Security Council voted to adopt a resolution drafted by the U.S. and Panama that would create a so-called “Gang Suppression Force” (GSF) to invade Haiti. The resolution was adopted with 12 votes in favor and 3 abstentions (China, Russia, and Pakistan). The Black Alliance for Peace unequivocally condemns […]

  • Is This a Horst Wessel Moment?

    For several days, while Wessel lay critically wounded in a Berlin hospital, Goebbels issued daily health bulletins on his new hero. And since Ali Höhler belonged to a Communist street gang, Goebbels portrayed the gun battle as an infamous act of political terrorism. The Gauleiter wrote an emotional account of his visit to the hospital, […]

  • Imperialism, Multipolarity, and Palestine

    It is a continuing source of frustration that an important segment of the Left holds the view that weakening the United States’ long-established grip on the top rungs of the hierarchical system of imperialism is — in itself — an attack on imperialism. Many of our friends, including those who claim to aim at a […]

    Back to the Future: NDP Must Debate Capitalism again

    No CCF Government will rest content until it has eradicated capitalism and put into operation the full programme of socialized planning which will lead to the establishment in Canada of the Cooperative Commonwealth. — 1933 Regina Manifesto During two months of campaigning to lead the NDP we’ve questioned the foundation of our economic system more […]
