Nexus X HumectressThe World’s Smallest Countries
In my perfect world, we’d have thousands, or tens of thousands, of these.
The Spectrum of American Liberalism
Wrong. Our far-right are 19th-century plutocratic liberals. Our center-right are moderate reform liberals. Our center-left are neo-liberals. Our far-left are progressive liberals. He’s right that we don’t have a far-left movement unless you count tankies on YouTube.
The Prerogatives of Aristocratic “Decadence”
This is somewhat reminiscent of when cosmopolitanism, bohemianism, androgyny, sexual/chemical experimentation, etc. were considered to be the prerogatives of aristocrats in opposition to the values of the conservative peasantry. It also fits with the recent study by Amory Gethin, Clara Martínez-Toledano, and Thomas Piketty indicating that the “left” […]
The Neo-Protestant Sectarians
When you create a meme that inadvertently makes the point that “CRTs,” “SJWs,” and similar others are not so much “Marxists” as types of sectarian neo-Protestants. It’s also not surprising that black intellectuals like Derrick Bell, Kimberly Crenshaw, etc. would develop a theoretical framework like this given the […]
When the Japanese Were the Economic Rivals
A reminder that 30 years ago there was just as much anti-Japan hysteria as there is anti-China hysteria today. But both are and will remain economic colonies of the Western capitalist empire. Two local businessmen destroy a Japanese made car in 1988. American car companies suffered in the […]
Whatever Works
If attacking capitalism by calling it “socialism” is what works, so be it. If we could convince these types that the military, police, prisons, corporations, intellectual property, and banks are “communist” then we’d have something. Some of them are getting there on corporations and banks.

UK Charity Teaches Staff ‘White Women Reporting Rape By Black Men Support White Supremacy’
My guess is that this story is probably (mostly) true, but selectively chosen. Both the left and right like to pick out the worst examples from “the other side” they can find and hold those up as representative of their opponents generally. By Tyler Durden, Zero Hedge In […]

‘North Korea was crazy, but not this crazy’
For the most part, universities have more in common with Wal-Mart than with North Korea, in the sense of having making money as their first priority. Higher education has become very corporatized in the past couple of decades, part of the “McDonaldization” process sociologists like George Ritzer started […]

1619 vs. 1776: When Was America Founded?
By most accounts, America was founded in 1776 when the Founding Fathers wrote the Declaration of Independence.

FASCISM DEFINED | The Difference between Fascism and National Socialism
