    Talking Genocide and How the World is Moving (Bulldozing Palestinians) Forward

    Listen to my Interview of Syrian Laif Marouf, who is now in Lebanon.     The American right has descended into a bitter dispute over U.S. support for Israel. Does this dispute pose an existential threat to Israel? —  Dimitri Lascaris Nope. What does the AmeriKKKan right stand for, really? For Palestine? For Hamas? Do […]

  • An Alliance of Socialists and Conservatives Against Liberal Centrism: Not Such Strange Fellows After All

    An Alliance of Socialists and Conservatives Against Liberal Centrism: Not Such Strange Fellows After All

    Orientation The socialist left trashes attempts to unite the left and right Is it possible to oppose this centrist drift to the middle of the political spectrum by uniting socialists and conservatives? In the United States socialists howl at the prospect of uniting with conservatives. “How stupid” they might say. “Conservatives are pro-capitalists, pro-war and […]

  • European Security Paradox and a World Without Order

    Paradox of Time and History and the Myth of New World Order America was not the superpower and European empires were more nationalists and aggressive when the 1857 Munich Conference held its assembly. Their delusional visions and priorities fell victim to their own vices and ruins, the consequential First World War and 2nd World War. […]

    Red, Orange, and Reaction: Thailand’s Electoral Crossroads

    As the people of Thailand go to the polls this February, voters are offered three competing visions of progress: one that builds power from the village up, one that critiques from the seminar room, and one that pays to keep the countryside quiet. Amid the ongoing border war with Cambodia, Thailand is a microcosm of […]

  • The Munich “Security” Conference (MSC) Has Become a €20‑Million Militarist Echo Chamber

    The MSC’s closed groupthink militarism offers only one prescription — more weapons — even as record military expenditures, squeezed from taxpayers in economic crisis, destroy diplomacy and drive escalation and the highest war risks in decades.

  • Poor Financial And Operational Performance Are Not Unique To Chicago Charter Schools

    Charter schools are outsourced schools, also known as contract schools. They are privately operated, deregulated, and laser-focused on siphoning substantial sums of public money, services, and facilities from public schools. Charter schools are essentially pay-the-rich schemes masquerading as great inventions designed to close the century-old “achievement gap.” There is nothing grass-roots about them. Recognizing that […]

  • The Antidote to Despair

    We are living at a time of historical significance. We feel it in our bones, and it relentlessly gnaws at our consciousness. The familiar is rapidly unraveling. The transition to whatever is to come is disquieting and disorienting, and we don’t know how to respond. We cannot grasp these events because the ethical codes of […]

  • Revisiting India and Pakistan Perpetuated Animosities

    Leaders to See the Mirror History exists on facts of life and shallowness of a nation’s history are the inept and egoistic leaders. In wars, logic fails to define foes and friends. India and Pakistan have an enriched history to blame games for their failure to preserve freedom, security and the ideological foundation of their […]

  • A New Era of Political Mobilization Is Dawning

    Born in South Africa just a few years after the end of World War II and reared by activists in the anti-apartheid movement, I witnessed my parents’ struggle against fascism and its accompanying racism in both my country of birth and Europe. This created in me a sense of the fragility of democracy and fear […]

  • Our blindness to whiteness

    During the COVID pandemic, I published a book titled The White-West: A Look in the Mirror. At the time, I did not imagine that only a few years later the dynamics I described would become so stark, so violent, and so openly visible. Today, many struggle to understand what is happening in the United States—and […]
