A strange what-if occurred to me the other day, “What if a worker bought a flat and rented it out while still working to survive?” Of course, land-lording is a very bourgeois thing to do, even though landlords don’t often have a stake in the means of production. Many of…

Continue reading →: Everyone Is A Liberal Except Me
“Everyone is a liberal except me.” This is a statement exemplifying many left-wing attitudes, and it’s not hard to find left-wing people using this mantra to insult or attempt to discredit people with even the slightest views against them. What is liberalism? Liberalism is a capitalist or ‘bourgeois’ ideology that…

Is Trump a fascist? Talk of recent events such as the protests in LA could make one wonder if Trump and his administration are fascist, and it’s basically a no-brainer. Has anyone not entertained the idea? I mean look, even Mark Milley (a retired General) called Donald Trump a “fascist…

Recently, the former spokesman for the U.S. State Department, Matthew Miller (who “served” during the Biden administration, of course), went on a podcast for Sky News and admitted that there was no doubt Israel committed war crimes–even though he vehemently defended Israel from allegations of war crimes and genocide.

Modern Catholicism is slandered by many for some of its reactionary adherents, but many of these slanders are completely false or undeserved.

But how many people are organized in their anti-authoritarianism? If you live anywhere in the United States right now, you’ll see that our very democracy…

Civil wars are bloody, and Russia’s Civil War was no exception. Everyone formed militias advocating for their ideology, and large groups of anarchists, socialists, communists, and republicans took part in toppling the Tsarist remnants only to immediately fight each other. But what do Democratic Socialists support? Of course, electoralism is…

Do you end your day with some nightly ritual? No? Boy, do I have the one for you. If you’ve ever heard of The Internationale, you’d know it’s a rousing anthem for the working class. But it also makes for a great lullaby. Almost every day before bed, I listen…

Today, I heard that the PKK dissolved! I’d say I support(ed) the PKK, especially their abandonment of Marxism-Leninism in favor of libertarian socialism, and most importantly, their fight for Kurdish freedom. For almost forty years, the PKK fought Turkish soldiers, giving Kurds in Bakur rights and halting assimilation. Reuters reported…

I recall a somewhat recent trend over the past year spreading across social media, where men would joke about how they thought of the Roman Empire on a daily basis. Sure, the Roman Empire was a “great empire”, and its no wonder as to why you’d think about it; it…
