You unsurprisingly, fail to grasp the point--and have made no point of your own. What a cliche-ridden load of virtue-signaling, self-important, bullyragging petty-bourgeois academic bombast. The "cult

I agree of course that Ukraine is not entitled to "unlimited military support," whatever that means. Everyone would agree I hope that "we" should give the Ukrainians no nukes, no nerve gas, and no boo

Vacated today. Good riddance! What a POS.

By a coincidence, as a long-term Twitter agnostic, I only recently decided to join the monster hive. I am now in the earlier stages of deactivating and closing out my--fortunately not-very-voluble--ac

Curious how "revolutionary cred" is trumped by the jealous defense of one's "sternly allotted [bourgeois professional] sandpile" (paraphrasing ee cummings). It appears that only Doctors of Media Matte

The following struck me as, if even partly true, thoughtful and significant: Much, if not most, of the commentary around the deeper issues in the Ukraine war has presumed that Putin is capable of inst

Maybe this obsession of the right--apart from its association with the natural submoronism of Greene and co.--stems from the need to stimulate virtuous outrage when in reality one feels little but the

An important practical question is whether Ukraine is capable of mounting an offensive that will drive the Russians out of the country altogether. NATO and the US cannot participate in this. If they a

The insipid views of the editorialist in no way refute the seriousness of the problem.

It may be time for people in the US to put Ukraine to one side and think about what will happen and what to do when the Republicans take both houses of Congress in a landslide as it now appears they i

I've answered this misbegotten fragment of mere assertion elsewhere. It's disingenuous to start a new thread merely to repeat bald assertions that do not stand up to the light of day. Talk about laugh

He certainly promoted the SEP for a time or at the very least allowed himself to be seduced. Did he ever actually renounce them? I get Hedges' many good points, but don't believe he deserves some kind

Wow. The Party really has its two-faced head up its ass on this one. Among other things, the death, or even the unmistakable defeat, of Mister Putain would strike the strongest possible blow against b

A timely reminder. You don't want to vote Democrat, don't. But a plan of action is needed, because the "coup" or whatever you want to call it is rolling along beautifully.

Agreed, but surely there must also be an international struggle--not necessarily deferred as a future stage of development. That said, "anti-imperialist" campism is IMO an infantile disorder, though I

Another shitassed smear from the smear factory. The usual load of crap.

I understand John R's reaction. It should be noted that CH also got very cozy with "David North" of the Socialist Equality Party. Hedges is AFAIK a Presbyterian minister--his greatest preoccupation mu

A great many people are saying Zelensky is a fascist. Here is one example-- you google "zelensky fascist" you will immediately find dozens more: https://jgiambrone.wordpress.com/2022/03/16/zelensky-ju

That said, I also see no reason to oppose a (no doubt temporary) negotiated settlement to the Ukraine war--not that "our" positions have any real weight--where the best option for the Ukraine in the l

Looking back over the CP's record in advancing the cause of civil rights in the US South and its other achievements--e.g. the career of Angela Davis and the indisputable accomplishments of the Cuban r
