  • 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 […]

    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 […]

  • Internal Dissent, High-Profile Resignations, and Donor Anxiety Have Shaken the Heritage Foundation

    Internal Dissent, High-Profile Resignations, and Donor Anxiety Have Shaken the Heritage Foundation

    Resignations, Rebellion, and a Right-Wing Rift: Heritage Implodes Over Carlson–Fuentes Affair Folks—let me have your attention for a moment. Because I’ve been hearing some rumbling, some grumbling, a downright thundering from deep inside one of Washington’s most conservative policy halls. Yes sir, trouble. Trouble with a capital T, and that rhymes with C, that stands […]

  • Major Collision or Fender Bender? Is MAGA Splitting over Israel, Anti-Semitism, and Neo-Nazis?

    Major Collision or Fender Bender? Is MAGA Splitting over Israel, Anti-Semitism, and Neo-Nazis?

    Will Tucker Carlson’s interview with far-right activist, Nick Fuentes, tear MAGA apart? Did Tucker Carlson’s softball interview with white supremacist Nick Fuentes ignite a full-blown MAGA civil war? Is the latest dust-up — over Israel and anti-Semitism — between powerful and popular conservative voices, another family feud or a marker of End Times MAGAism? Is […]

  • Challenges to Nepal’s Republican Structure from Monarchists and Why?

    Challenges to Nepal’s Republican Structure from Monarchists and Why?

    On March 28, 2025, pro-republic and pro-monarchy forces organised rival protests in Nepal’s capital, Kathmandu, to showcase public support for and against the Republic.

  • Anti-Immigrant Agitation in a Nation of Immigrants

    In recent days, Donald Trump and his Republican running mate, JD Vance, have doubled down on their false and defamatory claims about legally-admitted Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio, thus churning up widespread fears, bomb threats, and school evacuations.  Claiming that these migrants were destroying the American “way of life,” Trump promised that, if elected, he […]

  • The EU Elections: The March of the Right

    The EU elections over June 6 to June 9 have presented a chaotically merry picture, certainly for those on the right of politics.  Not that the right in question is reliably homogeneous in any sense, nor hoping for a single theme of triumph.  A closer look at the gains made by the conservative side of […]

  • Dogmatic Neoliberal Democrats

    Dogmatic Neoliberal Democrats

     Orientation How dare you! How can you write an article against the Democratic Party less than six months before the election? You must be a Trump supporter! We must keep Trump out of office no matter what! Vote Blue no matter who! (Or now, Vote Biden no matter what!) Only a privileged person would consider […]

  • Nationalism as the Religion of the Modern West

    Nationalism as the Religion of the Modern West

    Orientation The emergence of a strange, secular god  “I am the Lord Thy God, Thou Shalt not have strange gods before me” is not just a religious commandment. Every nation-state expects their citizens to give up or subordinate their regional loyalties, their class, their ethnicity and even their religion to this new god. If we […]
