The Strength of Political Tribalism and the Weakness of Fusionisms
By Daniel Larison Paul Pillar points to the role of political tribalism to account for why certain groups of views tend to be associated with one another in American politics:
Déjà Vu: Fascism on the Rise

Frank Rich: Right will rage if Obama wins
By David Daley If Obama wins, Frank Rich says the GOP’s fury will intensify, and the party will only get more extreme Ever since the days of Barry Goldwater, many liberals have assumed — or naively hoped — that each national defeat would teach Republicans that they had […]
Obama Supporters Actually Hate Obama’s Policies

“For America to Live, Europe Must Die”
By Russell Means Speech given at the Black Hills International Survival Gathering, July 1980 The only possible opening for a statement of this kind is that I detest writing.

“Kick-a-Nigger” Politics
Welfare is back as the handiest weapon in the racist rhetorical arsenal. It’s back in the speeches of Republican candidates and surrogates, on right wing radio, and even in the language of those young “individualists” who see themselves as politically hip because of their perceived proximity to anarchist types. They believe the poor are poor because they want to be poor. Or are failed individuals. Or have grown so used to poverty that they are satisfied waiting for a check, that they like making the often humiliating trek to the local Department of Social Services office. ‘Welfare’ is back, which is to say ‘kick-a-nigger’ politics is in full swing.
More “Anarchist” Phantom-Chasing
This stuff is an embarrassment to anarchists. With the rise of the Golden Dawn fascist group in Greece, and their attempts to build a base here in the U.S. (link) , anti-fascist strategies are becoming more and more crucial. I guess this is the Left’s version of the hysteria […]
Trotskyites for Romney

Anarchy is not the Death of the West
by Rachel Haywire
Anarchy is not the bottom of the totem pole. It is not degradation. Anarchy is when both the totem pole and degradation are overthrown. There seems to be a common misconception that anarchy = anarchism and this idea gets more and more popular as the definition of anarchy turns more and more into the definition of anarchism.
Which Africans Will Obama Whack Next?
counterpunch.org by PATRICK BOND Durban, South Africa. Would Barack Obama’s re-election advance African democracy and prosperity? Evidence suggests not, though the alternative in the November 6 election would probably be worse.

The Ghost of Bertolt Brecht and the Balkanization of America
Bertolt Brecht’s name is now largely lost to history, but the idea expressed in the succinct question above remains as potent today as when he uttered it. Brecht, a self-made Marxist who was once investigated by the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) during the “Red Scare” era of the late 1940s and early 1950s, probably did not know a then-young Edward Kennedy or the other politicians who later devised the 1965 Immigration and Naturalization Act, and he did not live to see the eventual mass migration of immigrants, legal and illegal alike, into the U.S. after his death. We can only speculate on how Brecht would have viewed the rapidly-Balkanizing United States of the early 21st century, but it seems safe to conclude that the old Marxist would be astounded at its scope, scale and rapidity.
