  • Revolutionary Third World Leaders Praise China’s World Role

    China is a modern superpower, as is the US, but a qualitatively different superpower. The US uses military aggression, coups, and sanctions to impose US corporate interests worldwide. China is a peaceful power that respects national sovereignty, mutual development, and non-interference.  Despite opposing imperialism, a tendency in the Western left is to recycle Western anti-China […]

  • Mamdani’s Win in NYC Transforms America’s Mid-Term Political Contests

    Mamdani’s Win in NYC Transforms America’s Mid-Term Political Contests

    A typical initial take on the totally unexpected landslide win, by the self-declared socialist Zohran Mamdani, of the Democratic nomination for (and thus almost certainly) the Mayoralty of NYC, was Eric Levitz’s June 25 Vox News article “What Democrats can (and can’t) learn from Zohran Mamdani’s triumph,” which said that Some on the left have […]

  • The Voice of the Far-Right is the Voice of the People

    Over the past few years, the Europeans’ confidence in the current governments of the EU countries has been plunging. This trend is foremost caused by the unpopular policy of the ruling circles. They have made it clear to the population that total militarization requiring unprecedented $800 billion from the already shaky budget of the EU, […]

  • Does China have an Internationalist Foreign Policy?

    A number of observant commentators have raised questions about Peoples’ China’s Belt and Road Initiative and more broadly, the foreign policy of the PRC. Reliable left observers like Ann Garrison, writing in Black Agenda Report, have voiced concerns about Chinese investments in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, based on Siddharth Kara’s book, Cobalt Red, […]

  • Redefining Prosperity: Prioritizing Humanity Over Commodity

    In a world where market values dominate public discourse, the core essence of humanity risks being lost. Capitalism, with its relentless focus on profit and growth, has transformed every aspect of life—from healthcare and education to personal relationships—into commodities in constant exchange. Yet, this system has overlooked an enduring truth: prosperity should be measured by […]

  • When Media Tell Us Who “Won” a Latin American Election, Start to Ask Questions

    When Media Tell Us Who “Won” a Latin American Election, Start to Ask Questions

    AP (4/13/25) attributes Ecuadorian President Daniel Noboa’s re-election to “voters weary of crime”—even though murders rose sharply under his administration. Elections in Latin America are often controversial. While many countries in the Global North regularly shuffle between parties offering alternating versions of neoliberalism, voting in Central and South America often offers starker contrasts: An anti-imperialist […]

  • The Spectacle of a Police State: This Is Martial Law Without a Formal Declaration of War

    In Trump’s America, the bar for martial law is no longer constitutional—it’s personal. What is unfolding right now in California—with hundreds of Marines deployed domestically; thousands of National Guard troops federalized; and military weapons, tactics and equipment on full display—is intended to intimidate, distract and discourage us from pulling back the curtain on the reality of […]

  • Orwell, Bradbury, Burgess, and Atwood’s 20th Century Dystopian Tales Becoming 21st Century Reality

    Orwell, Bradbury, Burgess, and Atwood’s 20th Century Dystopian Tales Becoming 21st Century Reality

    Works of dystopian fiction, from George Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four and Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451, to Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale, and Anthony Burgess’ A Clockwork Orange, once seemed like dark fantasies of an authoritarian future. Their themes were warnings, not forecasts. Now, in 21st Century America, with the political landscape being fashioned by Donald Trump, […]

  • Trump’s Absurd War on Education

    The US is at war. It has always been at war. Whether a world war, a proxy conflict, an armed intervention, a psyop, or a regime change mission, the United States has not enjoyed a single moment of true, unadulterated peace. And it’s not just at war with nations abroad. The US is also at […]

  • Trump Fascism?

    With the second coming of Trump, many who profess left credentials again proclaim fascism is back, after we voted “fascism” out in 2020. Every four years we hear the story: “this election is the most important in our lifetime.” Republicans are the new fascism, Democrats are the lesser evil. No matter corporate interests fund both […]
