Re: Sympathy for the Devils...
Super Tuesday: 'At Stake Is the Soul of the Democratic Party' [/b] Indeed. Well, they can turn off the klaxons, stand down the ninjas, the situation has returned to normal. The danger of a socialist revolution has been averted. From here on the Word will be 'socialism has been rejected by the Ameri...

Re: Bernie the Bomber’s Bad Week
As its ultimate goal, democratic socialism favours capitalist reformism, denies the historical impermanence of capitalism and the historical inevitability that human society will eventually evolve into socialism and communism. Are they saying that socialism is inevitable, or is this faulty parallel...

Re: Bernie the Bomber’s Bad Week
Roland Boer -- Stalin's Moustache -- does some very nice work even though I have reservations about his obsession with (and sympathies for) religion.

Re: Sympathy for the Devils...
Bernie ain't no socialist. Not good enough, ironically. A true "Bolshevik," as Bernie is to both Sean Hannity and Chris Mathews, would not wimp out over Cuba in a stupid debate. The paranoia is pretty fucking funny. I think Bernie would be a "dissident" to the proceedings (at best) but I tend to ag...

Re: Wake Me When It’s Over
08-06-2015#6 Kid of the Black Hole You guys make me smile so much this morning. Anax once told me that you guy were "the core" even if everyone else veered -- or begged -- off (and "everyone else" is a larger group than former pop indy/bell members). He was right a hundred times over. To begin the ...

Re: Bernie the Bomber’s Bad Week
There's the hump we need to get over: the knee-jerk dismissal of communist movements in real life. The thin gruel that passes for history in capitalist society is no match for the detailed, logical history which we know. It ain't esoteric knowledge, it's just suppressed. Confronted with actual, doc...

Re: Bernie the Bomber’s Bad Week
But suppressing the insurgency may well lead to an even greater militancy. Most young people have shed the knee-jerk anti-Communism of the Cold War; the fear of socialism is receding, as many are exposed to the inequalities and injustices of capitalism and search for radical alternatives. My genera...

Re: What are you reading?
[quote=solidgold post_id=3337 time=<a href="tel:1574292393">1574292393</a> user_id=58] This doesn’t count as reading, I guess. I didn’t feel like wasting a whole thread for it. Has anyone listened to any part of David Harvey’s seminar on Capital? Tbh I don’t really know much about this guy, but it’...

Re: Letter to a comrade overcome by pessimism
This one, for instance, just feels off even as it makes a fairly important point: Maaaan, that's unfair to Harris. The writing of the left in general is overwhelmingly wack. The above Hallmark card written to the comrades included. Membership should come with a Zoloft prescription. Excuse me for mi...

Code for "master of double dealing"That kind of US posture has above all “served Putin” who has emerged as a master of regional diplomacy and compromise.
