Yes, America, there is a Class War, and you Just Lost It
By Juan Cole | (Informed Comment) | – – The Republican Party did not just overhaul the tax code and they did not cut “your” taxes.

The most dangerous threats to the United States are other states, especially the well armed ones. A […]

Brian Whitaker | ( al-Bab.com) | – – When Yemen held parliamentary elections in 1997 Ahmed Ali Saleh, then aged 24, was a first-time candidate.

By Des Freedman | ( OpenDemocracy.net) | – – This week’s events have shown that the new digital media landscape is every bit as monopolistic as the old one. And what’s Murdoch up to now? Image: Rupert Murdoch, who this week sold his entertainment empire – but not his news empire – to Disney Two […]
Fascism’s return and Trump’s war on youth
By Henry Giroux | (The Conversation) | – – Fascism is all too often relegated to the history books.
