AntiCapitalist MeetUp: Pascal went to the races, then gets mugged because he kept his carbon credits

The neoliberals’ “free market” is not going to sequester enough carbon to save the environment. Even Warren Buffett isn’t willing to take a bet on surviving an impending climate crisis catastrophe, because “the rents are too high”. Existential threats have a critical reality, about which ruthless criticism is entailed. Even...

To his supporters, Trump's shamelessness became a badge of honesty and strength, and he still lost

There’s an agitated Trump up late tweeting more conspiracy nonsense as the Electoral College has voted and the sedition attempt has failed with the so-called longshot of a Congressional maneuver on 6 January the last gasp available.

Anti-Capitalist Meetup: is there a “fully unexploited luxury socialism”

450px-Grant_Columbus1.JPG

This week I attended (remotely) the Rethinking Economics Festival and encountered challenging pluralist discourses like a platform economy (noting that most of such work is populated by women), decolonizing the Eurocentric position in disciplines, or “fully-automated luxury communism”. I thought I’d share some resource items and make a few observations....

J. Rubin Is Moving Away from Conservatism

I used to avoid Jennifer Rubin back in the Obama days, when she could find nothing good to say about the President and nothing bad to say about Romney, as well as the way she insisted that everything conservative was better. Since the Great Orange Slug slithered down the escalator,...

President Obama is wrong. Progressives are the ones rooted in the reality of middle-class & poor

President Obama is wrong. Progressives are the ones rooted in reality.

President Obama recently in a room of wealthy Liberal donors called out Progressives for wanting transformational change. He implied it was unrealistic. Thus far, Obama had stayed out of the Democratic Primary Process. He should consider continuing said refrain as coming out as an anti-progressive will activate many progressives, who...

Harry Reid likely has it wrong about Elizabeth Warren's pragmatism versus progressiveness

Harry Reid had many progressives up in arms last week as he left the impression that Elizabeth Warren is not as progressive as her campaign rhetoric indicates. I beg to differ. A few days ago, former Senate Majority Leader Reid was David Axelrod’s guest on his CNN podcast The Axe...

“Getting things done” in Washington

An increasingly frequent refrain appearing in the media casts the democratic primary as a Manichean struggle between Sanders’ unrealistic goals and the staid pragmatism of Clinton.  Clinton, we are told, can “get things done,” while Sanders’ pie in the sky thinking leads nowhere. I can understand the doubt that Sanders’...
