If “progressives” had any backbone at all, they would either boycott the upcoming election or vote for one of the minor parties after the Democraps conspired to prevent Sanders from getting the nomination, and allowing themselves to be “out-lefted” by Trump on the class issues. But they won’t […]
A combination of ruling class sabotage and the inherent weaknesses of a “left” that is more worried about Orange Man and the Deplorables rather than actually attacking the ruling class.
I don’t know that Biden even qualifies as a “fake populist.”
Did Alexandria come through after all?
Incredibly, the Democrats have become the “conservative” party, and the left-progressives are falling in line behind them. Pathetic.
Cenk, you will no more “beat the media” than you could have beat the Catholic Church during the Middle Ages. The media is the New Church.
Jimmie nails it in this. The Democrats have remarkably allowed themselves to be “out-lefted” by Trump. The neoliberal plutocrats circled their wagons to pull all of their bought candidates out of the primaries in time for them to all throw their weight behind Biden, but left Lizzie the […]
Bye, and thanks for nothing. Now, you can endorse your “friend Joe.”
Some comic relief.
The neoliberal “Wall Street-suburban coalition” may need a new front-man if Biden falters. Andrew Cuomo is a Clintonesque douchebag (e.g. class warfare against the poor, obstructing criminal justice reform) who just happened to be the governor of a state that just happened to get hit hard by COVID-19. […]
The Republican Party ultimately stands for only three things: advancing the class interests of the right-wing of the plutocracy (the old-bourgeoisie and the Sunbelt industries), advancing the war-profiteering of the military-industrial complex, and advancing the expansionist objectives of Israel. Guys like Ben Shapiro and Mark Levin are merely […]
I don’t know if what Jimmie is saying in this is entirely accurate or not, but if true it confirms what I have been saying, i.e. that the Republicans are very slowly and tepidly moving to the left of the neoliberals on economics due to their strategically necessary […]
For those who ever thought Alexandria was a serious radical or revolutionary, remember that she was an intern for Ted Kennedy, memorialized (as opposed to celebrating) the death of John McCain, and has never taken positions any more “radical” than do-gooder reformist and SJWish ones. She has never […]
Because he doesn’t recognize who the real enemy is.
Guinan needs to stick to bartending. It’s rather remarkable that a lame FDR liberal like Bernie is considered too much for the professional celebrities/neoliberal puppets at The View. That Bernie endorsed Hillary in 2016 (as opposed to, say, Jill Stein) is a blight on his record, not a […]
Ideally, a serious anarchist movement in North America, as I have long argued, would be a “revolutionary left” that regards neoliberals as “the main enemy,” and “attacks the Left from the left,” by pointing out the historic treachery of the Marxists (First International, Kronstadt, Barcelona, etc), the historically […]
Yes. Since 2016, I have maintained that the real reason Trump won the election was that, rhetorically, he was the most “left-wing” (anti-imperialist, anti-capitalist, anti-power elite) of the two candidates, even if he is personally just a carnival barker and has governed largely as a conventional Republican since […]
AOC embraces Megan McCain. Will she follow the standard social democrat to neocon trajectory?
The same pattern the US Left has followed since the 1970s. A relevant observation from the comments section: “I never drank the AOC kool aid. 90% of the interest in her derives from the fact that she’s a young woman of color and she’s from NYC, which we’re […]
An interesting discussion of Trump from November 2016, immediately after Trump’s election, that nails the essence of Trumpism fairly well, i.e. a symbolic triumph of populism against elitism where the principal division is social class. The speakers in this video are “conservative intellectuals” of the old-bourgeois variety, and […]
It looks like the “progressive” media and the “progressive” politicians are having a falling out. Excellent.
This year’s election is going to be even more hilarious than 2016,
1914 all over again. Never trust a social democrat. Fuck voting. Fuck reformism. Real radicalism is about overthrowing states, ruling classes, and empires.
Tucker Carlson predicts the DNC will replace Biden with Andrew Cuomo.
This is a must-watch. Jimmie Dore and Max Blumenthal describe how the “stimulus bill” is to the economy/class relations what the PATRIOT Act was to civil liberties and what the Gulf of Tonkin resolution was to foreign policy. And the entire spectrum of the political class, from the […]
This video is over a year old, but it’s a good description of the neoliberal vs. populist division that is growing on the US right, just like there is a growing division between neoliberals and social democrats on the US left. The consequences of the Reagan-Bush-Clinton-Bush-Obama neoliberal paradigm […]
In the end, social democrats always fail. This principle was originally demonstrated in 1914 when the parliamentary deputies of the German Social Democratic Party voted to grant war credits to the regime of Kaiser Wilhelm II (read the story here). To the degree that the state ever does […]
Don’t vote for any of these creeps. Boycott the ruling class parties. If you must vote, then vote for a fringe party (Libertarians, Greens, Socialists, Constitutionalists, Transhumanists, whomever). By Olivia Harden Medium I am an avid Bernie Sanders fan, but after the results of Super Tuesday and the […]
The current public health/economic crisis is definitely a reminder of why I am an anarchist. Thus far, the responses to the situation by the various factions of the state/ruling class/power elite have been as follows: Republicans: “The ruling class is suffering. Let’s bail them out! Maybe give a […]
Sexual assault is apparently fine if it helps neoliberals win elections.
Nowhere. I always said Lizzie the Scamster was a fraud and I was right.
LOL.
Former staffer for Joe Biden Tara Reade recounts her experience from the 1980s with then Senator Joe Biden including inappropriate touching, and her denial of legal resources from the #MeToo organization Time’s Up.
I have a chapter in this book where I argued that the postwar conservative movement was nothing other than a front for the military-industrial complex and right-wing of the US ruling class (the Sunbelt industries that were in conflict with the “northeastern establishment”). The other authors were all […]
Anyone who wants to understand how we got today’s uneasy alliance of corporate neoliberals and left-wing “social justice warriors” needs to read this work by a Democratic Party strategist from the early 1970s. Available at Amazon.
The worst public health crisis in a century, the worst economic crisis in 90 years, Donald Trump is president, and this guy is the leader of the opposition party. It’s time for revolution.
