Nexus X HumectressTo appropriate an expression from the Obama era: Yes, we can. By David Cenciotti, The Aviationist Helicopters belonging to the Italian Police, Armed Forces and Armed Corps are regularly involved in Covid-19 patrol missions: When they spot suspect gatherings of people possibly breaching social distancing regulations and being […]
Not if Sanders supporters are worth anything at all. Sanders supporters need to renounce the state and become anarchists.
As if electing an Alzheimer’s patient who is just a ventriloquist dummy for the banksters as head of state is the “responsible” thing to do. I actually agree with Pakman that Bernie is being “consistent,” i.e. the consistently lame social democrat that he’s always been since I first […]
It’s government, folks. It’s government. By Heather Long, Jeff Stein, Lisa Rein, Tony Romm Washington Post The national effort to get coronavirus relief money to Americans is at risk of being overwhelmed by the worst economic downturn in 80 years, as understaffed and underfunded agencies struggle to deliver […]
Regrettably, many people have a mistaken view of what “crime” actually is. Yes, there is certainly such a thing as “crime” in the sense of harm to others (murders, robberies, rapes, etc) but most “crime” merely involves offenses against the state or other ruling class institutions, not other […]
So much for supposedly “progressive” Oregon and its LGBTQ governor. Seriously, how much evidence do we need that “progress,” “diversity,” and “inclusion” outside of any serious critique of and opposition to the state, capital, or imperialism is worthless? By Conrad Wilson Oregon Gov. Kate Brown said Tuesday she […]
Imagine that. Duh? By Lauren Fox and Ellie Kaufman CNN Navajo Nation has lost more to coronavirus than 13 states (CNN)The health care crisis on reservations around the country is mounting with Navajo Nation, a vast 27,000 square miles spanning three states, facing more than 1,000 cases of […]
By KAT STAFFORD, MEGHAN HOYER and AARON MORRISON, Associated Press As a clearer picture emerges of COVID-19’s decidedly deadly toll on black Americans, leaders are demanding a reckoning of the systemic policies they say have made many African Americans far more vulnerable to the virus, including inequity in […]
Right on schedule, CNN is fueling Russophobia, just like FOX has been fueling Sinophobia. As I have said many times, Russia and China are merely backwater but occasionally rebellious provinces in the global capitalist empire. They are no more significant to the world order than major US states […]
Is Ilhan coming through? By Sophie Kasakove The Guardian The Minnesota congresswoman Ilhan Omar has unveiled a bill that would cancel rent and mortgage payments for millions of Americans struggling amid the coronavirus pandemic. Under the legislation announced on Friday, landlords and mortgage holders would be able to […]
In some ways, Americans have more freedom than they did in Voltairine’s day, and in some ways, they don’t, but I can only imagine what Voltairine would think of the state we have today.
Always a silver lining. By Ryan McMaken Mises.Org Unlike the federal government, state and local governments in America can’t just create money out of thin air. So when tax revenues go down, that money is simply not available to the state legislatures and city councils anymore. These governments […]
In the technocratic, therapeutic, public administration states of modernity, the media, the educational system, and “think-tanks” assume the role of the “New Church,” i.e. the institution responsible for formulating and disseminating the dominant values of the society. And it is the “knowledge industries” (science, medicine, law, technology) that […]
By Lee Friday Mises.Org This article focuses on Canada, but the analysis applies in every country to varying degrees, and in most countries to a very significant degree. Even before COVID-19, Canada’s socialized healthcare system was characterized by a decades-long failure to make good on a government promise “to […]
In the past, I have thought that the strategically “ideal” situation partisanship-wise would be to have a Republican presidency, Senate, and Supreme Court, a Democratic House (in order to ensure divisiveness at the federal level), and as many Democratic administrations as possible in heavily populated states and large […]
The ghost of Pentti Linkola and the imprisoned Ted Kaczynski are now happy as nature corrects itself. by Hannah Ellis-Petersen in Delhi, Rebecca Ratcliffe in Bangkok, Sam Cowie in São Paulo, Joe Parkin Daniels in Bogotá and Lily Kuo in Beijing The Guardian The screenshots began to circulate […]
Big Green is simply the left-wing of capital in the energy sector mounting a challenge to the traditional hegemony of Big Oil. The “Green New Deal” is merely about shifting the focus of state-capitalism/crony-capitalism from Big Oil to Big Green. It’s amazing how many “left-wingers” are falling for […]
Chomsky has a far more favorable assessment of Sanders than I do but I’m also more radical than Chomsky. The main thing Sanders has achieved is demonstrating that electoralism/reformism fails, which I guess counts for something.
Once again, Orange Man and the Faux Populists outmaneuver the Democrats.
The bankstas is gangstas. Actually, that’s an insult to gangsters.
Here’s the money quote: “Where, one wants to ask Kofman and her co-authors, is the “tolerance” on which liberals pride themselves? Whatever happened to those old leftists, like Noam Chomsky and Peter Singer, who were averse to “gatekeepers,” stressing that absurd ideas and “hate speech” are the price […]
The Left has the choice of either rolling over and taking it or boycotting.
Alexandria strikes me as a generally well-intentioned person who just can’t shake the partisanship and the SJWism. As I have said before, in order to be fully competitive, the Left needs to do five things: 1) recognize neoliberals as the primary enemy; 2) forget Democratic Party loyalty; 3) […]
LOL
Krystal and Saagar discuss Mark Cuban’s tweet in which the Shark Tank billionaire calls out lawmakers over payment protection programs.
Washington Post economics reporter Jeffrey Stein discusses provisions, including tax cuts, in the next stimulus bill that benefit the wealthy.
Chamath Palihapitiya, Founder and CEO of Social Capital gives insight on how Congress should approach the bailout bills, after his CNBC interview went viral.
Of course. Biden’s ongoing cognitive decline will result in his resignation and the new leader of the imperialist-plutocratic-police state will be a woman of color, providing a perfect cover for the ruling class and its ideological superstructure.
As I have said before, China and Russia merely represent the leading factions within the global capitalist-financier empire (see Antony Sutton from the right or Hardt and Negri from the left). Their role within the empire is that of rebellious provinces in relation to the dominant American-Atlanticist-Zionist-Wahhabi axis […]
Yep. During the period between the 1970s and 1990, liberal and left opinion decides that backwater peasants with their retrograde social views were the “real enemy” rather than the actual ruling class, and Donald Trump is what they got in response. A billionaire carnival barker marshaled the populist-right, […]
This is some pretty impressive economic/class/political analysis. It’s amazing that a former MSNBC journalist and a former White House correspondent actually get this stuff and are willing to say so. Krystal Ball exposes the Trump administration’s corporate interest in reopening the economy, explains how tax cuts for the […]
Krystal and Saagar give updates on coronavirus case numbers, share the number of reported deaths from Wuhan, and discuss a trial on a promising therapeutic medication for Covid-19 patients.
A second wave, just like 1918.
It’s interesting how the neoliberals are using both the carrot and the stick against Alexandria, trying to coopt her on one hand, and bankrolling her opponents on the other. By Eleanor Watson and Bo Erickson CBS News New York Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Tuesday night said the Democratic […]
By Troy Southgate Nowhere News ONE OF the main reasons people choose to become involved in political activity, is due to a growing concern towards the kind of world our children will be forced to inherit in the future. As opponents of private and State capitalism we would […]
I always said the solution to school shootings was to close schools. Apparently, I was right. By Sophie Lewis March 2020 was apparently the first March in nearly two decades without a school shooting in the U.S. Schools across America have been shut down since early March as […]
Well, he did praise Xi Jinping for declaring himself “president-for-life.” By Brett Samuels and Jordain Carney The Hill President Trump on Wednesday threatened to use his executive power to force both chambers of Congress to adjourn if the Senate did not confirm his nominees for vacancies across the […]
By Stephen Gandel CBS News A key piece of the federal government’s stimulus efforts to help small businesses and their employees has run out of money, shutting out thousands of potential borrowers who were seeking aid amidst the coronavirus-driven economic plunge. The U.S. Small Business Administration said Thursday […]
It’s government, folks. What do you expect? By Heather Long and Michelle Singletary Many Americans woke up Wednesday expecting to find a payment of $1,200 or more from the U.S. government in their bank account, but instead they realized nothing had arrived yet — or the wrong amount […]
I don’t really care for the Sinophobia that is constantly coming from the right end of the spectrum, just as I don’t care for the left’s Russophobia. But these places are still just the Eastern wing of global mafia capitalism, so fuck ’em. By putting out questionable guidance […]
