  The Case for Minimalist Criminal Law The law should prioritize protecting the weakest party in each stage of criminal law. At the moment of offending, the law should prioritize the protection of the victim of crime, whose rights are being trampled by another. However, in both the trial stage and the penal stage, the accused and the convict are now the weakest party, standing more or less helpless before the awesome power of the state. As such, in those contexts, institutions and practices must be structured to protect their rights, since they are the ones most likely to have their rights violated. The Case for Carceral Minimalism

  What Is Trumpism? Why Trump’s 2026 USA Is Not Fascist Trump is certainly not a “normal” politician, and is inclined toward authoritarian bluster. But his base of support is decidedly not a fascist movement, and his rise does not signify a fundamental shift to the right among the US population. Rather, it is a symptom of instability and the lack of a coherent working-class option.
