Justin Smith-Ruiu Feb 16, 2025 “L’orgueil de la victoire m’est insupportable.” —Chateaubriand, Mémoires d’outre-tombe (1848-50) 1.

Is MAGA Neo-Fascist?

By Tom Wetzel I think I would describe the MAGA movement as neo-fascist. I say “neo” because it differs from the classical fascism of the 1920s-30s. For one thing, the Trump regime represents an attempt at concentrated government power in an autocratic center with the goal of direct […]

The Fight for Communism

The Fight for Communism The fight for communism is anti-political. Because any politics, whether “left”, “right” or “centre”, simply means the administration of capitalist misery; it is part of the organization of scarcity, dependence and alienation. “Revolutionary” politics is one of the varieties of power (politics); it has… […]

Is Marxism Bankrupt?

Is Marxism Bankrupt? Marxism is bankrupt! From the most liberal democrats to the rabid fascist reactionaries, the declaration of the bankruptcy of Marxism has become a victory cry. The narrowness and short-sightedness of the bourgeois spirit, the crisis of their own sinking, disintegrating, destructive society, is cloaked… Read […]
