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...

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...

Roland Boer -- Stalin's Moustache -- does some very nice work even though I have reservations about his obsession with (and sympathies for) religion.

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...

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 ...

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...

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...

[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’...

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...

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

Code for "master of double dealing"
