SOCIALISM OR BARBARISM By Rob Sewell

2005-09-16T21:57:00.001-07:00

NOTICES AND CELEBRATIONS OVER SOCIALISM'S putative death may have been ridiculously premature, implies the author, as the class struggle, revitalized by capitalism's intensified and cynical global abuses has injected new life into an idea that will remain vibrant for as long as there is oppression in this world.

LEVEES MADE OF LIES by Phil Rockstroh [9.15.05]

2005-09-15T18:48:00.000-07:00

How did it come to this? How did we come to buy this worthless plot of swampland known as George Bush's America? Such is the provocative beginning to a scathing assessment of America's political establishment's handling of a much anticipated natural disaster, from the heart, by a native son.

JOE BAGEANT'S PIECE COVERT KINGDOM STIRS CONTROVERSY

2005-07-02T17:54:00.000-07:00

JOE BAGEANT'S BY NOW WELL KNOWN PIECE on Christian fundamentalist rednecks (his kin, by the author's admission) has stirred the usual controversy. A recent post by Joaquin Bustelo, a thinker of the left, which we reproduce below, takes issue with a number of aspects of Bageant's treatment. We welcome this discussion as the topic is an important one for all activists involved in neutralizing the toxic fumes emanating from this irrational quarter. (The originalBageant article is found at http://www.cjonline.org/bageantCovertKing.htm ). Cyrano's Editor filed a reply which also appears in this blog's archives.

It's high time the GOP was confined to the dustbin of history By Patrice Greanville

2004-10-03T10:49:00.000-07:00

"SHOW ME A GOP supporter AND I'LL SHOW A COLD-HEARTED CYNIC OR A DELUDED CITIZEN. For many years I have argued that the GOP is a party representing the worst values in American society, the vilest impulses in a human being, and that it exists, indeed it thrives in this country, solely because of the dilapidated state of political knowledge possessed by so many of our fellow citizens. This is a party that, far from thriving and winning elections, should be a footnote in the political debate in the US, or simply extinct." So begins Greanville's argument about what by any standard should be an anomaly: the triumph of a party almost flagrantly advancing the interest of a plutocracy.
