Pandemic could take 2 years to contain, Pompeo backs virus lab origin claims
Just like 1918. Krystal and Saagar give an update on coronavirus case numbers at 1,165,300 with an additional 89,000 cases in the US since Friday, and 68,000 deaths in the U.S., and discuss new reports that say the pandemic could last for two years.
Is the populist right once again outflanking Nancy Pelosi?
Krystal and Saagar discuss Sen. Mitt Romney’s (R-Utah) proposed legislation on Friday to temporarily provide a pay increase for essential workers including health care professionals, grocery store workers, food processors, and others, amid the coronavirus.
What the populist left could learn from right-wing protesters
Krystal Ball discusses why Michigan protesters’ goal to reopen the economy is irresponsible and dangerous, but that those radical tactics are necessary to be heard by a government that prioritizes corporate fealty over workers needs.
One $1,200 stimulus check won’t cut it. Give Americans $2,000 a month tax-free to fire up the economy
Okay, ruling class. Time to practice some of that “quantitative easing” and fork it over. With all due respect to my many wonderful libertarian and an-cap friends who dismiss the UBI as crypto-statism, I regard the UBI merely as reparations from the state/ruling class/power elite enemy, i.e. forty […]
Petition: Landlords should go on “tax strike” to counter rent strike
I’m in favor of this. Tenant strikers take down the landlords, and then landlords take down the government. In fact, a debt strike by debtors, followed by a tax strike by creditors, would essentially kill two birds with one stone. By Georgia Kromrei New York Estate News In […]
6 demographic trends shaping the U.S. and the world in 2019
The main problem the Democraps have is their delusion they can win elections on demographics and culture-war politics alone while ignoring class issues, and the Left falls right in line behind this (“The Deplorables Are Coming!”). Then along comes right-wing populism. Does the Left not realize that Marx […]
Peter Zeihan Explains The Geopolitical Landscape
Peter Zeihan provides a refreshing alternative to the China-love and/or China-hate that’s going on nowadays from the left and right. No, China is not going to replace the US as the global hegemon. Instead, China is likely to either implode or revert into neo-Maoism (which is already happening […]
Coronavirus spares one neighborhood but ravages the next. Race and class spell the difference.
By Grace Hauck, Mark Nichols, Miriam Marini and Andrew Pantazi, USA TODAY Network USA Today CHICAGO — Train tracks run above the intersection of Kinzie Street and Ashland Avenue, two major streets that meet on Chicago’s West Side. On one corner of the intersection, there’s a trampoline park and new […]

Coronavirus: David Icke kicked off Facebook

BBC Facebook has taken down the official page of conspiracy theorist David Icke for publishing “health misinformation that could cause physical harm”. Mr. Icke has made several false claims about coronavirus, such as suggesting 5G mobile phone networks […]
Why Sweden Has Already Won the Debate on COVID ‘Lockdown’ Policy

Trump rips George W. Bush after he calls for unity amid coronavirus outbreak
The ultimate heel vs. heel match. It’s funny how Dubya will do anything to salvage his historic reputation. Meanwhile, Trump never really had a reputation to salvage. By Justin Wise President Trump on Sunday took aim at George W. Bush after the former Republican president issued a call […]

Culturally Right But Economically Left?
Bill Lind argues that a successful populism would be culturally conservative and economically liberal. It’s true that research shows that Republican voters lean to the left of their elites on economics and that Democratic voters lean to the right of their elites on social questions. But this ignores […]
What can Progressives do better in 2024?
The statist-centrist-centralist-reformist-electoralist “populism” of Krystal and Saager is interesting and insightful in some ways, but lame as hell in other ways. Gotta get over that “social contract” mythology, Saager. Four suggestions: 1. Renounce the state and become anarchists. The state is the enemy of all mankind. 2. Abandon […]
Ben Burgis Debunks Critics Of His “Reopen America” Piece
The basic arguments that these guys make are spot-on: If you don’t want more anti-lockdown protests (and more), then a debt moratorium is essential. Ben Burgis Debunks Critics Of His “Reopen America” Piece
The Left Can’t Just Dismiss the Anti-Lockdown Protests
By Ben Burgis Jacobin The anti-lockdown protests may currently represent a Trumpian minority — but that could easily change if the choice becomes going hungry or going back to work. We need a real alternative that refuses to accept the false trade-off between economic security and public health. […]

The new intellectuals of the American right
I don’t really see these guys becoming popular in the US. American-style right-wing populism is the Know-Nothing tradition, not Throne and Altar. The problem with the US right in all its forms is that it is swimming against the demographic, cultural, generation, economic, and technological tides. The future […]

Anarchists for the White Coat Priesthood?
Deference to credentialed and experienced experts is generally a good plan barring compelling evidence to the contrary, but “experts” are not divine oracles, and science and medicine can become corrupted, abusive, or incompetent as much as any other kind of institution. One thing that I have found interesting […]
Kim Iversen Calls Out The Hill’s The Rising As Corporate Media
Rising is by far the best the “mainstream media” has to offer, which is why I post so much of their material here, but this guy’s critique of Rising, echoing Kim Iversen, for not being nearly radical enough is spot on. A real test of a media outlet’s […]
