Trump Says He Will ‘Negotiate’ Third Term Because He’s ‘Entitled’ To It

Billionaires and the Far Left Are Trying to Create a New Soviet Union
The Soviet analogy really isn’t appropriate. Neoliberals are proponents of globalized technocratic state-capitalism, which uses feminism and multiculturalism to meet its human resources needs and construct a self-legitimating ideology. That has nothing to do with Communism.
The Coming Crisis of Legitimacy
By Yascha Mounk The Atlantic In normal times, it would seem outlandish to worry that an American president might refuse to concede defeat upon losing his bid for reelection. This year it is not. Even though he won in 2016, Donald Trump falsely claimed that he was the […]
Is Black Lives Matter Marxist? No and Yes.

Voters RAKE Trump Over Coals LIVE For Failed COVID Response
Most people prefer safety and security first (see Maslow’s hierarchy of needs) over everything else. I don’t think the response of either Democrats or Republicans to COVID-19 has been optimal (to say the least). What people want is public health safety with economic compensation. Krystal Ball and Saagar […]
Dems INSANE Anti-Vax Embrace Is Latest In New Left War On Science

The Liberal Disingenuousness of ‘Trump’s America’
After the election, look for a crackdown on protestors. If Trump wins, the claim will be that the feds are fighting left-wing terrorism and ordinary crime. If Biden wins, the claim will be that the feds are fighting right-wing terrorism and “hate.” The goal will be to make […]
Assaults against first responders raising nationwide concern
Fuck the Fire Department? In some “anti-fascist” circles, I’ve heard firefighters referred to as fire pigs, EMTs as medical pigs, school lunch supervisors as lunch pigs, etc. By Alexa Ashwell & Rachel Aragon FOX Baltimore BALTIMORE (WBFF) – A reported assault on two Baltimore City firefighters is contributing […]
Ain’t Nobody’s Business If You Do: The Absurdity of Consensual Crimes in a Free Society
Peter McWilliams’ classic from the early 90s. McWilliams himself later became a casualty of the state. The primary cause of police misconduct, mass incarceration, and related issues is overcriminalization, not lack of police “training,” lack of social worker cops, private prisons, or even racism in some abstract sense.

How Classism Is Ripping America Apart
2020 Could Usher in a New Era of One-Party Dominance
A system of permanent one-party dominance within a formally democratic state is more likely than an actual coup from the left or right. Mexico’s Institutional Revolutionary Party held power for 71 years in a formal multi-party democracy, and Sweden’s Social Democrats held power for 44 years. By Chris […]
Republicans Worried Trump is Planning a Coup
I am constantly coming across media commentary where both Blue Tribers and Red Tribers accuse each other of planning a coup or to steal the election. They’re probably both partially correct.

David Dayen Lays Out Most Likely DOOMSDAY Scenarios For Election Day
Executive editor for The American Prospect, David Dayen, explains why Election Day will signal the end of a campaign, but not the end of Donald Trump’s term in office.
The Winter of Our Discontent
By David Dayen American Prospect This is a horror story. Maybe you think that way about the past three years: the corrupt self-dealing, the fusillade of lies and ignorance, the corporate handover of the regulatory state, the authoritarian repression. The oncoming election may provide you with a crack […]
Millenarian Mobs An Old and Dangerous Story
The conventional media and much of the dissident milieu are focused on Trump’s Nixonian authoritarianism because is Trump is both the President and the bane of dominant ruling class sectors, but other dangers lurk in the form of millenarian progressivism and neocon opportunism. What seems to be going […]

MSNBC Revealed As MORE Partisan Than Fox News
That’s quite an accomplishment. While FOX is a cesspool of Know-Nothing, MSNBC is arguably worse because it constantly beats the drums for greater hostility between the USA and nuclear-armed Russia. FOX is usually content to merely attack any state that Israel and Saudi Arabia don’t like. Krystal Ball […]
Did Trump Justify ‘Extrajudicial’ Killing Of Antifa Activist?
In “Third World” countries, and the US is rapidly becoming one, assassinations of extremists by rival extremists and extra-judicial assassinations of dissidents by the state are both very common. Be prepared for more of this in the future. Krystal Ball and Saagar Enjeti react to the controversial statements […]
In the Age of Conflict
By Norbet Bolz TELOS The rage about corona and its consequences has evidently elicited a mental disturbance with global reach. Every insanity has now become acceptable—on the condition that the insanity claims to be of the “left,” i.e., anti-fascist, anti-racist, anti-capitalist, etc. Whoever wants to keep it at […]
A Judge Asked Harvard to Find Out Why So Many Black People Were In Prison. They Could Only Find 1 Answer: Systemic Racism
The problem with “systemic racism” analysis of this kind is that, while not factually wrong on its face, no context is provided. The assumption is that the present system would be fine if only it were less racist, which has the effect of obscuring and obfuscating critiques of […]
The Struggle for Bottom Unity in an Age of Division
By Nicky Reid aka Comrade Hermit Exile in Happy Valley “The most interesting political questions throughout history have been whether or not humans will be ruled or free, whether they will be responsible for their actions as individuals or left irresponsible as members of society, and whether they can live in peace by volitional agreements alone.” -Karl Hess “We’ve got to […]
Tucker Carlson 2024?
There would be certain tactical advantages to this. The Left always performs much, much better when a Republican is in office. The anti-establishment populist-right would continue to be rallied. The division between the Republican “base” and Republican establishment would continue to expand as would the divide between the […]

How Revolutionary is the Revolution?
A friend writes: Every indication points towards this being a fake revolution. First, this revolution *is* televised, and gets favorable press coverage, with the embarrassing parts downplayed or ignored. Then, the corporations get on board, emblazoning the revolutionary slogan on their commodities. Half of the ruling duopoly has […]

Understanding the Left’s Tactics
What I find most interesting about this piece is how it illustrates that the various factions of the “Left” and “Right,” broadly defined, not only have different philosophies and political preferences but different realities as well. Can people who have totally different ideas on what reality even is […]

It would certainly seem that way.
Trump, the far right, and the return of vigilante repression
In an ideal situation, right-wing vigilantes would provide protection to residential neighborhoods, mom and pop shops, and the general public, while left-wing vigilantes burned down police stations and the lumpenproletariat looted Wal-Mart. But I’ve noticed that many situations tend to be less than ideal.
NY Times Reporter Reveals New Details About Attempts To Take Down Trump
All of this intra-ruling class intrigue is hilarious. It reminds me of the Medici of the Italian Renaissance era, although the Medici were classier and more stylish.
Portland mayor faces antifa supporter in runoff
A heel vs heel match brewing. I have no problem with Portland being a far-left micronation.
Trump Military Story FALLS APART As War Machine Strikes BACK Over Afghanistan Plans
My respect for Trump would increase significantly if this story were true, but I suspect it’s probably just neocon/deep state/kept media-generated propaganda. I hope I’m wrong. Trump is a scumbag but the neocons are even bigger scumbags.
93% of Black Lives Matter Protests Have Been Peaceful, New Report Finds
Most of the violence has probably been instigated by Antifa, right-wing extremists, ordinary criminals, sports rioter-types, and cops.
