Imperialism and Anti-imperialism Collide in Ukraine (Part 6)
Why is the United States so hostile, bellicose, and determined to engage Russia in a war?

The State of Our Nation No One’s Talking About
Never has our future been more unpredictable, never have we depended so much on political forces that cannot be trusted to follow the rules of common sense and self-interest—forces that look like sheer insanity, if judged by the standards of other centuries. — Hannah Arendt, The Origins of Totalitarianism Day by day, tyranny is rising as […]

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.
