It's a New Year, With The Same Problems (But Worse)

Biden has been president for a year now.  So why isn't anything getting better?

Trump Has Covid. Now What?

Trump Has Covid. Now What?

How do we make sense of this moment that we find ourselves in?
Are we being collectively gaslit?

The GOP Have Declared War

The GOP Have Declared War

The Right Wing don't care about the rules, they will cheat, steal, and murder, to get whatever they want.

"Good sportsmanship" doesn't apply, because THIS IS NOT A GAME.

The DNC tacks right, will the Left follow, or cut them free?

The DNC tacks right, will the Left follow, or cut them free?

The DNC are chasing after the votes of Republicans, and trying to push the left out of their party.
Why are so many leftists dedicated to trying to build something inside of a party that doesn't even want us there?

When will leftists leave the abusive relationship that we are in with the DNC?  They don't actually want us.  If we do what they want, they try to get us to shut up, if we don't do what they want, they browbeat us, and verbally abuse us.  We literally cannot win with them.  They are not good to us. I think the working class needs some self-love. So when do we break up with the DNC?

What is Trump's "Delay" Play Really All About?

What is Trump's "Delay" Play Really All About?

 Do we actually have to worry about him delaying the election?
Or was that gaffe to ensure that the news covered his conspiracy theory about mail-in ballots, so that his base would hear it loud and clear?

Who is in Joe Biden's "Middle Class" exactly?

Who is in Joe Biden's "Middle Class" exactly?

The latest episode of AcronymTV's "Dear Joe Biden" series says, "fuck the middle class" --- but who *is* the middle class, exactly?

Why are they different than the working class or the ruling class, and where do they fit into a Marxist analysis of class?  Wait, what is a Marxist Analysis of class?  Isn't class just dependent on how much money you take home a year, like "middle class" is just shorthand for the tax bracket of $46,000-$300,000 a year, right?  Wrong.

We get into all that.  Listen in.

Will The DNC ever be on the path to socialism?

Will The DNC ever be on the path to socialism?

I wrote this as a live question back when Bernie was crushing it, winning left and right, but since the world has totally gone to shit, this is now a retrospective.

What is the difference between history as fact, and history as fable? What fictional stories shape your worldview without your thinking about it?

What's Good Episode #1

What's Good Episode #1

The amount of bad news right now is really overwhelming, and we felt it was really important to have a place that people can go to hear about the positive things that are coming out of the current crisis, not puff pieces to take your mind off things (though there may be some of that too), but we really want to highlight the way that people are coming together in solidarity to make things better. This is a global pandemic, it’s never been more clear that we are all in this together.

Our news cycle is currently dominated by Covid-19. It is difficult for anything other than pandemic news to gain traction.
