Since anarchism holds the state to be undesirable or harmful, where
are the voters to go once the reality of November 2016 passes, when the
neoliberal status quo continues marching ahead? The answer is found in
the streets as civic warfare spreads throughout America. Detroit,
Chicago harbingers of more to come. Killings, disrupted public services,
police/citizen confrontations, mass shootings, arbitrary shootings and
military-armed police can only add up to one conclusion. Civic warfare.
It’s already started.

a simple thing
are we going to have to drag the rich into the street and set them on fire to get this very simple thing accomplished?
...a true financial transactions tax [a sales tax on financial securities purchases], that is still quite reasonable at tax rates of 0.25% to 2.5% can pay for all of a Single Payer health care program in the US and still have hundreds of billions left over...

Requiem for the American Dream

Donald J. Trump is done. He will not be the Republican Party’s nominee for President. He will not receive the requisite number of 1237 delegate votes to secure a majority going into the Republican Convention in July.

Leading climate scientists are not willing to honestly expose their
greatest fears, as discovered by Amy Goodman of Democracy Now! whilst at
COP21 in Paris this past December, interviewing one of the world’s
leading climate scientists, Kevin Anderson (University of Manchester) of
Tyndall Center for Climate Change Research who said: “So far we simply
have not been prepared to accept the revolutionary implications of our
own findings, and even when we do we are reluctant to voice such
thoughts openly… many are ultimately choosing to censor their own
research.”

the anarchy of Capital
There is every reason to think that electoral “politics” in the United
States (and most places) is bullshit. For people who yearn for a very
different world to get involved in this “process”–which is almost
entirely scripted by people who absolutely do not yearn for a very
different world–is a big waste of energy and commitment.
....what is advanced as “politics” in mainstream, and even much of the “fringe,” of the United States is not really politics. Instead it is the calculation of interests under the imperatives faced by the capitalist/global imperialist ruling class of the United States.....what people seem to miss, and that needs to be driven home once again, is that there is a ruling class, and this class operates according to certain imperatives. Simply put, and on one level it is just this simple, in the United States and for pretty much the whole world, capital decides.....the basic social decisions in a capitalist society are made by what is necessary for this process to continue to advance; again, to simplify, the accumulation of profit decides; This is the case unless there is some truly countervailing force. And the point is that pretty much nothing....within the acceptable bounds of “politics” comes to anything like a countervailing force.

War, Inc.
the free market is working......
Syrian militias armed by different parts of the U.S. war machine have begun to fight each other on the plains between the besieged city of Aleppo and the Turkish border, highlighting how little control U.S. intelligence officers and military planners have over the groups they have financed and trained in the bitter 5-year-old civil war.
