After COVID
By Alain de Benoist TELOS Press History is always open, as everyone knows, and this makes it unpredictable. Yet in certain circumstances, it is easier to see the middle and long term than the near term, as the coronavirus pandemic shows well. For the short term, one surely […]

Will Jesse Ventura Be The Green Party Nominee For President In 2020?
A five-way race between Trump, Biden, Mark Cuban as an independent, Justin Amash as a Libertarian, and Jesse Ventura as a Green would be hilarious. My non-voting self would be rooting for Jesse from the sidelines, just like the Greens’ Jill Stein was my favorite candidate in 2016.

Opinion: I Believe Tara Reade. I’m Voting for Joe Biden Anyway.

Northam says Virginia localities can set stricter restrictions once state begins phased reopening
I disagree politically with Virginia’s governor on many things, though not everything, but I think his performance during all of this has been reasonable, probably because he’s an MD who actually understands the medical science behind COVID-19. What he’s saying here is appropriate. One of the main mistakes […]

‘We’re vulnerable’: On the Navajo Nation, a rush to curb the coronavirus

What is the LumpenProletariat?
Unlike the Marxists, I generally regard the lumpenproletariat (for example, folks conventionally categorized as “criminals”), declasse’ sectors (for example, the youth of middle-class origins inclined toward violence), and the neo-peasantry (for example, rural gun nuts or the present-day anti-lockdown protestors), along with associated petite bourgeois and conventional proletarian […]

If People Are Staying Home, Why Is Coronavirus Still Spreading?
People Two months in to near-nationwide stay-at-home orders, Americans are ready to get back to their pre-pandemic lives. Those who are non-essential workers (and followed the rules) have been at home all day, every day, save for trips to the grocery store or for socially distant walks. And […]

Trump vetoes bill to curtail his Iran war-making authority
Under Trump, US foreign policy in the Middle East has basically amounted to allowing Saudi Arabia, Israel and Turkey (the “triumvirate of evil”) to expand their respective spheres of influence while working to undermine Iran’s axis of resistance. By Connor O’Brien Politico President Donald Trump on Wednesday vetoed […]
Nearly HALF Of Small Businesses In US Could Go Belly Up
A virtual end to the petite bourgeoise and “small capitalist” classes will result in an even wider disparity in wealth distribution than before thereby hastening the re-proletarianization of labor and the widening of class divisions.

Saagar Enjeti goes SCORCHED EARTH on Republican parody plan to screw families
The Republicans could best be described as a hybrid of the right-wing plutocratic parties of Latin American (like El Salvador’s ARENA) and Israel’s Likud Party (militarists and Zionist expansionists). Under Trump, they’ve at times tried to recast themselves as LePenism-lite. The question is whether their exoteric doctrine will […]

Most “Radicals” Do Not Really Oppose “the System”
At present, the United States (the mother country of a world empire that is the most expansive and powerful in history) is in a position that might be considered a very minor league version of what the Europeans faced in the early modern period. From the fourth century […]
Who Is the State, Ruling Class, and Power Elite?
It seems that most people even on the far left and far right have a limited perception and definition of what concepts like the “state,” “ruling class,” or “power elite” actually mean. It would also seem that we need a much more modernized and expansive definition of these […]

Anarcho-Populism: Not Economically Left/Culturally Right
In recent times, I have seen a number of commentators calling for one or another kind of left/right hybrid populism. Some years ago, Ralph Nader was pushing this idea (obviously unsuccessfully).

US is unprepared to protect residents from virus while states are reopening, former acting CDC director says
It’s interesting how the Left and Right have responded to the COVID-19 pandemic and related shutdowns.
