The tech-oligarchs and financial industries are primarily […]

Woke Politics are a Disaster for Minorities

Forget the Sinophobia
My view on China is simply that they’re just another province in global capitalism that largely functions as an economic colony for the hegemonic powers. China’s role in the global economy is to provide cheap labor for Western corporations and cheap loans to Western governments. Its “social credit […]
Against Race and Class Determinism/Reductionism

Turkish-Russian Adversarial Collaboration in Syria, Libya, and Nagorno-Karabakh
By Güney Yildiz, German Institute for International and Security Affairs Russia and Turkey are backing opposing warring parties in three active conflicts.

White House asked why Biden waited for Colorado supermarket shooting to make gun violence statement

Chapo Trap House – New American Civil War

Bernie HEADS To Alabama As Amazon Union Drive Becomes National Flash Point
Does anarcho-syndicalism have a future? The traditional anarcho-syndicalist position was in favor of “open shop” unionism, which would mean upholding the “right to work,” but I doubt many of today’s “anarcho-syndicalists” would hold to such a view. Krystal Ball and Saagar Enjeti discuss the latest updates in the […]
