...AND RUMORS OF WARS - deportations, tariffs and the sea lanes of the South China Sea - a world war may be coming, can we stop it before it starts?

…AND RUMORS OF  WARS –  deportations tariffs and the sea lanes of the South China Sea – a world war may be coming, can we can stop it before it starts?   For the last few years, the Central Military Commission of the Communist Party of China and the United states Department of Defense have been quietly but deliberately preparing for a world war in and around the South  China Sea, the Straits of Taiwan and the island of Taiwan itself   The world’s two main imperialist powers – America and China – have come to conflict for the reasons that imperialist countries always do – conflict over who’s billionaire investors and multinational corporations will get to exploit and plunder the world   China rose rapidly in the last century – from a backwards Third World semi feudal state plundered by every imperialist power to being the world’s leading manufacturing nation (30% of all the manufactured goods on the face of this Earth were MADE IN CHINA) – the br...

DENY, DELAY, DEFEND, or, why most Americans hate health insurance companies, and what we can do about that

  DENY, DELAY, DEFEND, or, why most Americans hate health insurance companies, and what we can do about that   Under normal circumstances, most poor, working class and middle class Americans would be horrified by the spectacle of an early morning commuter being shot in the back by a random armed stranger and mortally wounded on the way to a work meeting.   But Brian Thomson was no ordinary commuter – nor was his (alleged) assailant Luigi Mangione (or, as he was dubbed on Tik Tok, “The Adjuster”) an ordinary gunman   We don’t know all the facts yet, but, based on published accounts in the media, Mangione was an affluent and well educated young man, from a well off family – but he reportedly suffered a debilitating back injury, around the same time his grandmother fell ill and passed away.   These   personal tragedies would be devastating enough… but, of course, the insurance industry made things worse, as they always do – a tragedy that’s dre...

NO, DONALD TRUMP IS NOT A FASCIST and we are in no danger of democracy ending

  NO, DONALD  TRUMP IS NOT  A FASCIST and we are in no danger of democracy ending   What is this “fascism” we hear so much about lately?

Opposed to anarchism, democracy, pluralism, egalitarianism, liberalism, socialism and Marxism, fascism is at the far right of the traditional left-right spectrum.   If we ask Bulgarian Communist Party chairman and general secretary of the Communist International Georgi Dimitrov, fascism is the open terroristic dictatorship of the most reactionary, most chauvinistic and most imperialist elements of finance capital....
