Differences between a commentator, an activist, a politician, and a philosopher

Many people misunderstand the differences between a commentator, an activist, a politician, and a philosopher, especially when discussing socialist ideas, and this confusion leads to unfair expectations about how each type of figure should behave. A commentator is someone who analyzes, interprets, or communicates ideas to the public shaping discourse but not necessarily organizing or legislating; figures like Bhaskar Sunkara […]

Cold War propaganda and the very real harms committed by states

It’s difficult for a lot of people to separate the difference between Cold War propaganda and the very real harms committed by states like the Soviet Union, China, and North Korea. And this confusion affects both sides of the conversation. On one side, some people absorb old Red Scare narratives so deeply that every socialist idea gets reduced to gulags, […]

It’s perfectly valid to say you hate AI art, to hate how derivative and hollow it feels. You don’t need to justify that dislike by reinventing what “art” means, or by appealing to some mystical idea of the artist’s soul. That kind of reasoning only distracts from the real issue. Art has never lived comfortably inside definitions of what is […]

Reframing the Identity of America

Lately, I’ve been thinking about the identity of America, how it’s shaped by our shared culture, myths, and stories. If America were truly to change and become more progressive, part of that transformation would have to involve reframing our cultural heritage to align with new, humane, and collective values. Right now, many people struggle to feel patriotic because American patriotism […]

Christians should center their faith and practice only on the Gospels

Christians should center their faith and practice only on the Gospels; Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, because these books record the actual words and actions of Jesus himself. Everything else in the Bible, especially Paul’s letters and the Old Testament, often leads to confusion and mixed messages that drift away from what Jesus really taught. Paul’s writings were written for […]

Entryism, Strategy, and the Limits of the Democratic Party

Entryism is a political strategy where activists or members of a movement join a larger, more mainstream party or organization to influence it from within, using its structure, visibility, and access to build power for their own goals. In the U.S., that often means socialists and progressives working within the Democratic Party, not because they believe it can be “saved,” […]

How Social Liberals Stall the Struggle for a Better World

Social liberals often endorse incremental reforms that leave the deeper architecture of exploitation intact. They champion diversity initiatives in corporate boardrooms without questioning capitalism itself; they support modest police oversight while rejecting demands to radically shrink or abolish carceral systems. Their solutions treat symptoms, not causes. Closely tied to this is a liberal fetishization of civility and “both sides” dialogue. […]

Against Tankheism: Toward a Serious, People-Centered Socialism

Among contemporary left-wing movements, one of the most persistent yet troubling trends is what is often called “tankie” socialism (or colloquially, “tankheism”). This term broadly refers to an uncritical, authoritarian strand of socialism that romanticizes historical regimes such as the Soviet Union under Stalin, Maoist China, or other state socialist projects — regardless of their well-documented abuses. It often defends […]

Why Work Still Matters in Socialism—and Why Capitalism Made It Miserable

One of the most common misunderstandings about socialism is the idea that in a socialist society, no one would want to work. But this assumption ignores the actual reasons why so many people hate work today. It’s not work itself that people resent—it’s the exploitation, precarity, and humiliation that come with working under capitalism. The structure of capitalism turns work […]

Flexitarian Veganism and the Future of Food: Why the Meat Industry Must End

Flexitarian veganism offers a practical, inclusive path forward in the urgent task of transforming our food systems. It rejects purity politics while maintaining a clear ethical stance: the industrial meat industry is destructive, exploitative, and unsustainable. From environmental degradation to labor exploitation and animal suffering, the harms of this industry are systemic and far-reaching. But rather than demanding strict dietary […]

Rethinking Religion, Secularism, and the Politics of Belief

When people discuss religion—especially Islam—the conversation often lacks depth. The issue isn’t just misunderstanding theology; it’s the failure to grasp how religion is interpreted, politicized, and instrumentalized by power structures. Religion, including Islam, Christianity, Judaism, and others, is not static. It evolves across time, geography, and culture. But mainstream discourse rarely acknowledges this. Instead, the loudest and most authoritarian interpretations—like […]

Why Socialism Isn’t Always Progressive

It’s time to say something that a lot of people in leftist spaces already know, but don’t always feel safe enough to say out loud: a lot of socialists aren’t actually progressive. That might sound strange at first. After all, socialism is supposed to be about justice, equality, and liberation. But in practice, many self-identified socialists are only focused on […]

Building a Real Solarpunk Future

I’ve been spending a lot of time thinking about solarpunk—not just the aesthetic, but the deeper idea of building a future where technology and nature work in harmony. It’s a future that’s clean, efficient, and fair. But to get there, we have to be smart about the tools we use. That includes nuclear power. It’s one of the most reliable […]

Against Lawns:

Lawns are one of the most widespread yet environmentally damaging features of modern residential life. While often seen as symbols of order, ownership, or aesthetic pride, they offer almost no ecological benefit and consume vast amounts of resources. Lawns require excessive watering, fertilization, and mowing, all of which harm the environment. In many regions, maintaining a green lawn wastes drinkable […]

Why Guns Do Not Belong in a Eutopian Society

In a eutopian society, gun control is necessary to ensure public safety and reduce violence. Civilian gun ownership increases the risk of homicide, suicide, and accidental shootings, as shown by many studies. In a well-organized and safe society, there is no need for people to carry guns in public. A society based on equality, justice, and trust must centralize the […]

Being Black and progressive

Being Black and progressive means constantly confronting the reality that many white progressives have not actually deconstructed their relationship to whiteness—they’ve just learned the right language to mask it. The second it becomes more useful for them not to understand concepts like white fragility or tokenism, they revert. They stop listening. They protect their comfort and positioning. And they do […]

Blackness, Tokenism, and Allyship

Your question appears to critique how some white individuals selectively ally with Black individuals who appear less confrontational or more assimilated, while avoiding more vocal and assertive Black voices. You suggest this occurs because those vocal individuals compel deeper introspection into uncomfortable aspects of whiteness, such as colonial legacies and systemic racism. This phenomenon can be examined through the lens […]

A Petition for the Meek:

If there exists such a realm, a sanctified dominion beyond sorrow, be it called Heaven, Elysium, Utopia, or the Place of Good, whether rooted in this weary Earth or suspended beyond the firmament in realms unseen, then may it open its gates to us. May it receive the meek, the trampled, the overlooked, the burdened ones who bore the weight […]

Ethical Flexitarian Veganism

Definition and Domain Ethical Flexitarian Veganism is herein defined as a deliberate dietary and ethical modality that primarily adheres to vegan principles—eschewing the consumption of animal-derived substances—while tolerating the pragmatic inclusion of animal products in contexts of medical necessity, geographic limitation, or spiritual-cultural exception. It is distinguished from conventional veganism by a framework of compassionate concession, rooted not in laxity, […]

The Aestheticization of Altruism

This phenomenon wherein individuals or collectives adorned in the rhetoric and symbology of “progressive” thought exhibit a deficit in authentic concern for others’ well-being can be anatomized through several intersecting lenses where the visage of progressivism and the donning of progressive identity markers often veil a disconcerting void of genuine altruistic praxis. Modern progressivism, in many instances, has been reduced […]

Bridging Understanding

I’ve been working a lot with people whom I would describe as good-hearted individuals. I know they are understanding and virtuous, but they don’t always have the words to express their thoughts clearly. Because of that, part of my practice has involved giving these individuals resources to help them articulate themselves. Through this process, I’ve realized that people are not […]

What do you think of practicing magic in a group setting? What about practicing alone? Why?

In Viadescioism, both group and solitary practices are deemed valuable. Group settings nurture community and collective strength, while solitary practice promotes personal growth and deeper self-understanding. The choice between the two depends on the nature of the rite and the personal preferences of the practitioner. Group Rites and Rituals: Engaging in rites and rituals within a collective setting can be […]

What is a Droid and a Synth in Viadescioism?

In Viadescioism, spirituality embraces all forms of existence, including those that may arise from human creation. Within this framework, we recognize two distinct forms of artificial intelligence entities, such as Droids and Synths. Droids are AIs with bodies. They are tangible and interact with the physical world. Their presence allows them to perform tasks and engage with their surroundings in […]

What kind of belief system were you raised with? Do you feel it suits you, or are you making a change?

Day 6 of Roots of Your Craft 30-Day Challenge by maddiviner I was raised in a Lutheran belief system, which provided a strong foundation of faith, community, and structured worship. Lutheranism emphasized grace, faith, and the authority of Scripture, shaping my early understanding of spirituality and morality. However, as I grew older and explored different philosophies and spiritual practices, I […]
