  • Tax the Rich Rally in Albany

    Democratic Socialist Zohran Mamdani’s election as mayor of the “capital of capitalism” was a tremendous accomplishment and a blow to Zionists, Wall Street and Democratic Party higher-ups. Even the New York Times described his victory as a “surge of anti-establishment discontent.” Just a few of Mamdani’s frequent pre-election critical comments on capitalism include: * Taxation […]

  • 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 […]

  • The Great Revolutionary Divide

    The Great Revolutionary Divide

    Europe, mid-1800s: Two men stood at the center of a storm that would shape socialism’s future. Karl Marx, a German-born philosopher, believed in seizing the state (central government) and wielding its machinery to crush the ruling class. To him, power was a tool, not a curse. Mikhail Bakunin, a Russian anarchist strategist, saw it differently. […]

  • Nayib Bukele and the Working-Class Struggle in El Salvador

    Nayib Bukele and the Working-Class Struggle in El Salvador

    This article analyzes the emergence of Nayib Bukele as a political figure in El Salvador from a Marxist materialist perspective. Bukele’s ascent is the result of both the failure of capitalist neoliberalist policies and the lack of a working-class struggle instrument. The author concludes that the only alternative lies in constructing a democratic political movement […]

  • A Transgender Lesson Plan

    I retired from the University of Texas at Austin journalism school eight years ago, but I can’t stop thinking like a teacher. So when I read the Texas Tech University chancellor’s memo instructing employees to comply with state and federal dictates that “recognize only two human sexes: male and female,” I pondered how I might […]

  • How to Tell When Authoritarians Become Fascists

    The times they are a-changin. And quickly. And not in a good way. And it’s scary. The façade of democracy is being ripped away by politicians who never liked it but lately feel emboldened to admit it. Most important of all, they have begun to act like unapologetic authoritarians. And brag about it. Suddenly the […]

  • How the Toxic Manosphere is Grooming Adolescent Boys

    How the Toxic Manosphere is Grooming Adolescent Boys

    Attribution: Denitza Tchacarova: A Russian poster urging open your eyes – against women being abused. Over the past decade, the “Manosphere” — a loosely connected but increasingly influential network of blogs, forums, influencers, and online communities — has become a powerful vehicle for promoting traditional gender roles, male grievance politics, and opposition to feminism. Once considered […]

  • Did Marx Have Anything Good to Say About Capitalism?

    Those who assume that Karl Marx emphasized only the negative characteristics of capitalism such as alienation, crisis, and exploitation are mistaken. Indeed, throughout his intellectual career – in philosophic, journalistic, historical, and economic writings – Marx stressed the creative and progressive features of capital. His social theory makes no sense unless essential duality is retained. […]

  • No Matter Who Sits in the White Peoples’ House the War Being Waged by the U.S. Colonial/Capitalist Class Against the Black Colonized Working Class and All Oppressed Peoples and Nations Will Continue

    Hide nothing from the masses of our people. Tell no lies. Expose lies whenever they are told. Mask no difficulties, mistakes, failures. Claim no easy victories… — Amilcar Cabral (Revolution in Guinea, stage 1, London, 1974, p 70-72) It was under the Democrats and the first “Black” president that the Department of Defense 1033 program […]
