  • A Tale of Colliding World Views

    A Tale of Colliding World Views

    In December, documents were released asserting two radically different political perspectives. They could not be more different. On December 4, under the President of the United States’ Seal, the White House published the administration’s 2025 National Security Strategy, expressing the government’s current evaluation of the global challenges facing it. The next day, December 5, the […]

  • China Changes Everything: A Book Review

    A new book edited by Kyle Ferrana, China Changes Everything, bills itself as an anthology by “social justice activists, journalists, and commentators” and brings together chapters about the People’s Republic of China written by prominent left-wing analysts, including Arnold August, Roger Harris, Radhika Desai, Carlos Martinez, Gerald Horne, Lee Siu Hin, Margaret Kimberley, Danny Haiphong, […]

  • Model Campaign Platform

    Model Campaign Platform

    Candidates for the U.S. Congress usually have websites, and often those websites include some minimal platform (what they would do if elected). Sometimes there’s none at all. Sometimes there’s a great deal of substance on numerous topics. But the vast majority of Congressional candidates have no foreign policy whatsoever. They want to be given a […]

  • West Virginia Judge Says Charter Schools Violate State Constitution

    In December 2025, Judge Jennifer Bailey of the 8th Judicial Circuit Court in West Virginia ruled that the creation of the state’s charter schools are unconstitutional because they were authorized by the West Virginia Professional Charter School Board (PCSB) instead of being authorized by “the constitutionally mandated consent of a majority of affected county voters.” […]

  • U.S. Racist Immigration Policy Toward Haiti Reinforces Imperialism and Weakens Popular Sovereignty

    On November 26th, 2025, the Trump administration terminated Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haiti using nearly identical language to the TPS cancellations earlier this year for displaced Venezuelans and affecting upward of 353,000 Haitian migrants. In both cases, the Department of Homeland Security claimed that continued protections were “not in the national security or foreign […]

  • Defend Popular Will, Struggle for People(s)-Centered Human Rights!

    This past Human Rights Day illuminated what Gaza has relegated to the dustbin of history: the oxymoron of “Western values and human rights.” Western civilization stands as a living negation of human rights, a truth illustrated by the ongoing atrocities in Palestine and the brutal legacies of Western intervention in Haiti, Congo, and Sudan. The […]

  • Trump’s Empire of Hubris and Thuggery

    The president’s latest National Security Strategy memorandum treats the freedom to coerce others as the essence of US sovereignty. It is an ominous document that will—if allowed to stand—come back to haunt the United States. The 2025 National Security Strategy (NSS) recently released by President Donald Trump presents itself as a blueprint for renewed American strength. […]

  • The North-South Project Reclaims Human Rights as People(s)-Centered

    December 10th, International Human Rights Day, represents one year since the launch of the North-South Project for People(s)-Centered Human Rights. The North-South Project seeks to address the contradiction of the human rights idea being co-opted and instrumentalized as a weapon of white supremacist colonial domination and exploitation. The PCHR frame emerged to counter that. Rooted […]

  • BRICS Will Fail to Deliver Anti-imperialism

    BRICS Will Fail to Deliver Anti-imperialism

    Multipolarity — the idea that there are more than one decisive economic actors in the global economy — is an important fact. More than anything else, the rise of the People’s Republic of China demonstrates that fact. The size and rate of growth, along with the expansive Belt and Road Initiative, establishes that the PRC […]

  • “The Days of the United States Propping Up the Entire World Order Like Atlas Are Over.”

    On Thursday, the White House released the new National Security Strategy for the United States. Others may well give it a different read, but here is my quick take: The document is ghoulish, abhorrent, repetitious, and sometimes incoherent, but I found its honesty refreshing. The mask is torn off sanctimonious bullshit, tall tales about spreading […]
