Read some Stanley Payne.Payne’s definition of fascism is the one that I consider to be the most historically accurate. In […]

By Andrew Sullivan The scene that struck me most in the Woodward/Costa tome, “Peril,” occurs on a plane. On a trip from DC to Seattle on January 7, Adam Smith, a 55-year-old centrist Democrat, finds himself surrounded by participants in the previous day’s violent assault on the Capitol. […]

By Damon Linker The Week Earlier this week, in Philadelphia, I went to my first concert since before the COVID-19 pandemic began. The Phoebe Bridgers show took place outdoors.

By Eduardo Romanos Anarchism refers to a tradition of social and political thought that in the 1860s emerged as an organized political force.

By Matt Taibbi A million reporters and police, a handful of demonstrators, and at least one undercover agent at a very noisy dud of a demonstration. The “Justice for January 6th” rally held on September 18th in Washington had plenty of advance fanfare, with audiences told Capitol cops […]
The latest in massive US government spending on imperialist projects: a bill to fund Israel’s Iron Dome passed on Thursday, providing $1 billion in backing to the air defense system. Eight Democrats voted against the bill, with a final vote of 420 to 9 (2 representatives voting present). […]
By Eduardo Romanos and José Luis Ledesma ‘[May Day is celebrated] year after year, without interruption’, wrote the Spanish philosopher Miguel de Unamuno (1907), ‘and this celebration seems to assume a ritual, a liturgical character.

Someone needs to do a mashup of these folks with their Antifa/SJW/Russiagate/TDS counterparts and see if it is possible to even distinguish between them. The second video below is an example.

Kyle breaks down the data which shows that Biden is more hawkish on immigration than Trump was. From the comments thread: I think Tulsi might be moving toward the Dave Rubin/Tim Pool approach—”I used to be ‘left’ and saw the error of my ways,” and she’ll woo right-wingers […]
Both Tulsi and Andrew Yang seem to have expired their utility at this point. Tulsi did a good deed by attacking Kamala and Mayor Peter in the primaries, and Yang did a good deed by bringing ideas like UBI, drug legalization, and automation into the mainstream. But they’re […]
Apparently, Joe is trying to be a standup comedian.
I disagree with Kyle here in the sense that I do think there is an effort to purge the military of conservatives and/or Trumpists because their loyalty to the Bidenist regime is questionable.

Historically, the original left was not socialism but the Enlightenment liberal philosophy that paralleled the rise of the bourgeoisie in opposition to the Ancient Regime.
