Syria and the Antiwar Movement

Published on The Bullet, Socialist Project’s E-Bulletin No 1348, by Judith Deutsch, Dec 29, 2016.

Die formaljuristische Lebenderklärung

… Menschwerdung auf Malta – ein vidéo auf YouTube, 60.31 min, von Quer-denken.tv, Nov 6, 2016 … Goran M. Bojic im Gespräch mit Michael Friedrich Vogt.

The coup involves important US elites, who openly intervene on many levels from the street to the current President, from sectors of the intelligence community, billionaire financiers out to the more marginal ‘leftist’ shills of the Democratic Party.   Continuer la lecture de « The Coup against Trump and His Military-Wall Street Defense »

Beyond Soviet “socialism” and the “triumph” of capitalism

Published on ZNet, by Chris Spannos, Dec 21, 2016.

Even less still has been written about the possibility of an alternative to either system. Continuer la lecture de « Beyond Soviet “socialism” and the “triumph” of capitalism »
