Of course. CNN, MSNBC, ABC, NBC, CBS, PBS, NPR, social media, and the majority of the print media are the propaganda arms of the Democratic Party, left-wing of the ruling class, and the Wall Street-Big Tech-suburban-new clerisy (media, academia, ideas industries) coalition. FOX, talk radio, some print media […]
Of all the stupid shit to die for. If you’re going to risk your life by not socially distancing or whatever at least do something productive like go to the beach or have a backyard party. Associated Press MILWAUKEE (AP) — Officials have identified seven people who appear […]
This guy’s commentary on the Biden-bootlickers is pretty good. Interestingly, he admits that a Trump presidency is likely strategically preferable.
It’s good to see some of these more independently-minded progressives like Kyle Kulinski, Jimmy Dore, Krystal Ball, and Kim Iverson questioning the sanctity of voting. The argument that Chomsky presents for Biden is rooted in nothing other pathological right-wingophobia. Trump is a con man, glorified carnival barker, and […]
Kyle calls out Chomsky and totally nails it in this.
Trump vs. Cuomo? Two obnoxious New Yorkers pitted against each other. I suspect Paul Gottfried is correct that if Biden wins, he will be quietly shipped off to the nursing home with his vice-present (Kamala Harris, Stacey Abrams, Elizabeth Warren, Amy Klobuchar, Gretchen Whitmer) acting informally as the […]
Dick Morris on the Alzheimer’s Man vs. Orange Man matchup. Ironically, the only thing the Republicans have going for them is the Democrats. Trumpism more or less pushed the old guard Republicans aside, and they now have to go along to get along, and the only reliable Republican […]
Krystal is coming along in her ideological evolution. Attack the System is a far-left revolutionary anarchist tendency that embraces all forms of anti-authoritarianism (pan-anarchism/anarcho-pluralism), crosses over to the radical center (class-based populism, the people vs. the elites), the populist-right (isolationism, anti-state/local control, free association, pro-gun, pro-free speech, anti-tax, […]
By Elizabeth Weise USA TODAY Even before the first horrific phase of the COVID-19 pandemic has run its course, scientists are worried about the second wave of the disease. It could crash worse than the first, killing tens of thousands of people who did such a good job of […]
Now that the Sandernistas have gotten totally fucked by the DNC and neoliberals, hopefully at least some leftists will start moving toward third partyism and extra-parliamentary agitation. That’s not nearly where they need to be but it’s something.
Glenn nails it down pretty well in this. He’s not quite where I am but he’s moving along.
This is a rather tortured discussion, and I disagree with some of the political analysis, but it’s an interesting illustration of where the intellectually serious reformist-left is now.
Not if Sanders supporters are worth anything at all. Sanders supporters need to renounce the state and become anarchists.
As if electing an Alzheimer’s patient who is just a ventriloquist dummy for the banksters as head of state is the “responsible” thing to do. I actually agree with Pakman that Bernie is being “consistent,” i.e. the consistently lame social democrat that he’s always been since I first […]
In the past, I have thought that the strategically “ideal” situation partisanship-wise would be to have a Republican presidency, Senate, and Supreme Court, a Democratic House (in order to ensure divisiveness at the federal level), and as many Democratic administrations as possible in heavily populated states and large […]
Chomsky has a far more favorable assessment of Sanders than I do but I’m also more radical than Chomsky. The main thing Sanders has achieved is demonstrating that electoralism/reformism fails, which I guess counts for something.
Once again, Orange Man and the Faux Populists outmaneuver the Democrats.
The Left has the choice of either rolling over and taking it or boycotting.
Alexandria strikes me as a generally well-intentioned person who just can’t shake the partisanship and the SJWism. As I have said before, in order to be fully competitive, the Left needs to do five things: 1) recognize neoliberals as the primary enemy; 2) forget Democratic Party loyalty; 3) […]
LOL
Of course. Biden’s ongoing cognitive decline will result in his resignation and the new leader of the imperialist-plutocratic-police state will be a woman of color, providing a perfect cover for the ruling class and its ideological superstructure.
Yep. During the period between the 1970s and 1990, liberal and left opinion decides that backwater peasants with their retrograde social views were the “real enemy” rather than the actual ruling class, and Donald Trump is what they got in response. A billionaire carnival barker marshaled the populist-right, […]
It’s interesting how the neoliberals are using both the carrot and the stick against Alexandria, trying to coopt her on one hand, and bankrolling her opponents on the other. By Eleanor Watson and Bo Erickson CBS News New York Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Tuesday night said the Democratic […]
Well, he did praise Xi Jinping for declaring himself “president-for-life.” By Brett Samuels and Jordain Carney The Hill President Trump on Wednesday threatened to use his executive power to force both chambers of Congress to adjourn if the Senate did not confirm his nominees for vacancies across the […]
I never expected much from Sanders but he keeps getting lamer all the time. Did Ron Paul ever say, “Oh, we gotta vote for McCain or Romney ‘coz Obama is just so bad, man?” Hell, no. I’m glad to see some leftist commentators calling him out on this.
Krystal and Saagar discuss a report from The Intercept that exposes AOC challenger, Michelle Caruso-Cabrera’s campaign finance funds from prominent Wall Street executives, bankers.
Saagar Enjeti discusses the media’s coverups for Joe Biden over Tara Reade’s sexual assault allegation and Hunter Biden’s China dealings.
Not bad, Krystal. Not bad.
Once again, Donald Trump presents the state as it ought to be presented, as a hybrid of the mafia and a carnival show. By Alistair McGeorge Donald Trump has named Vince McMahon in an advisory group to help reopen the United States economy. The US president announced this […]
If nothing else, hopefully, the Left will realize they need less wimpy leaders.
Krystal comes pretty close to going full Jimmie Dore in this. Almost, but not quite.
What could possibly be more pathetic? The neoliberal class handpicks a guy who has been a puppet for the banksters for half a century as its anointed candidate. A guy who has a history of being on the wrong side of every important issue for his entire career […]
So Barack is a scumbag who was orchestrating things behind the scenes on behalf of the banksters. Who could’ve guessed? Who needs comedy when you’ve got this stuff?
“Please make me the vice-president!” said Lizzie the Scamster.
I have to respect Kulinski’s ability to avoid pathological right-wingophobia and the “vote blue, no matter who” nonsense. But, regrettably, most liberals, progressives, leftists, social democrats, socialists, and even many anarchists (shame) will fail to follow his example.
Bernie shows how lame he really is. If the progressives were to start a party of their own, the likely effect would be that the US would have three parties, a social democratic party, a neoliberal party, and a populist-nationalist party. The neocons would probably return to the […]
I respect Jim Gray, and “within the system” people like him are necessary, but the problem I have with him is that a former judge is likely to be too much of a system-loyalist for my tastes. For instance, Gray opposes jury nullification, just like when Gary Johnson […]
It’s hardly surprising that Obama would endorse his former VP. But it also shows that Obama is nothing more than an opportunistic careerist and ladder-climber. Certainly, he recognizes that Biden has dementia, early-stage Alzheimer’s, or some other mental defect. The decent thing to do would be to counsel […]
Historically, whenever societies have experienced either an economic downturn or an epidemic of a disease, people have started looking for scapegoats to blame for the problem. In ancient societies, a literal human sacrifice might result. Right now, the US is experiencing both an economic downturn and an epidemic. […]
It makes perfect sense. The Left is rising in the US and the Right is declining. Trump is to the left of Biden and Sanders is to the left of Trump. The Left needs to realize they can’t win without the actual proletariat.
The Voice of the Ruling Class covers for its anointed candidate.
Good news. Are “progressives” showing signs of actual progress? Krystal makes the important point in this that those who are most under attack by the system are those who are the least likely to vote because the correctly see no value in it. Krystal and Saager more or […]
Alexandria cements her subservience to neoliberalism and her “momma bear” Nancy Pelosi. Reformism fails again. Trump’s populist-nationalism is arguably to the left of Biden’s neoliberalism/liberal-imperialism, just as France’s National Front has moved to the left of the neoliberals on economics and international relations. Regrettably, most “progressives” are so […]
