We need to become more conscious of where our language comes from, because what we choose to say and what we refuse to say both help define who we are. Internet slang is rarely neutral: words move through communities, carry assumptions with them, and often reach us after their original context has been stripped away. Some language comes from ordinary […]
One of the principles we need to carry into the liberatory society is anti-cruelty. This matters precisely because liberation requires us to confront people, institutions, and movements that may be actively hostile to liberation. We are going to encounter reactionaries, authoritarians, fascists, racists, queerphobes, misogynists, and people who want to preserve systems of domination. We need to be capable of […]
One of the things we have to understand clearly is that authoritarian socialism is not the same thing as liberation, and the existence of social programs under an authoritarian state does not automatically make that state socialist in the emancipatory sense. This matters because people often point to achievements such as universal healthcare or mass education as though those things […]
The liberatory society is the society organized around the idea that people should have real power over their own lives, rather than being dominated by governments, employers, landlords, corporations, patriarchal institutions, racial hierarchies, or any other structure that treats some people as rulers and others as subjects. When we talk about the liberatory society, we are talking about one broader […]
I have very little patience for people who describe themselves as apolitical or politically nihilistic, especially when they want to enter a community that is explicitly progressive. The problem is that describing yourself as “outside politics” usually means refusing to think seriously about the social conditions that shape everyone’s lives. Politics is not limited to politicians, and parties. It includes […]
We have to reject one of the most poisonous confusions in revolutionary politics: the belief that a willingness to kill proves seriousness. Too many self-described revolutionaries, especially in the United States, have absorbed the deepest assumptions of American gun culture while imagining themselves to be opposing it. They reject the flag, the police, the Republican Party, the militia movement, and […]
Israel is committing a genocide against the Palestinians! My anti-Zionism comes from the same place as my opposition to every other system of domination: no people should have to live beneath another people in order for somebody else’s national project to survive. Zionism, as it has been realized through the Israeli state, created and preserves a political order in which […]
Anti-whiteness is not hatred of people with light skin. It is opposition to whiteness as a political and social system. Whiteness is a historically constructed category that was used to organize privilege, citizenship, labor, property, and social status in ways that separated Europeans from Africans, Indigenous peoples, and other racialized groups. In colonial Virginia, lawmakers gradually hardened racial distinctions in […]
A lot of people are attracted to Marxism-Leninism because authoritarian systems can look effective from the outside. They can build quickly, move resources quickly, reorganize cities quickly, punish corruption quickly, and carry out enormous projects without spending years asking whether everybody affected agrees. That speed can be mistaken for liberation. But there is a huge difference between getting something done […]
From my perspective, Marxism-Leninism is not truly anti-capitalist because it does not actually abolish the social relationship that makes capitalism what it is: a small group controlling production while everybody else works underneath them and has little real power over the economy. It changes who owns and manages capital, but it does not fundamentally change the structure of domination. Instead […]
I think spirituality and religion have to be taken seriously in any truly liberatory society, because human beings do not live only through economics, law, and politics. We also live through meaning, ritual, grief, awe, memory, mystery, death, hope, belonging, and the question of what our lives are for. A communalist, libertarian municipalist, and democratic confederalist society cannot simply inherit […]
I do not really consider myself a leftist, and I do not consider myself a Marxist either. I am a socialist, but my socialism does not come primarily through Marx. It comes much more from utopian socialism, religious socialism, older communal traditions, Indigenous and BIPOC forms of communal life, reciprocity, mutual obligation, shared stewardship, and the idea that human beings […]
A lot of people get stuck arguing over anarcho-communism, anarcho-syndicalism, council communism, communization theory, and all of these earlier revolutionary traditions as if one of them has to be the final answer. I do not think that is the most useful way to look at them. At their best, all of them are attempts to move away from domination and […]
Social revolution is not just taking power. It is changing what power is, where it lives, and how people relate to one another. Social revolution means moving from a society where people are governed from above to one where people increasingly govern themselves. Dual power means building institutions that ordinary people can rely on instead of depending entirely on institutions […]
Today, I don’t know if any of you have been paying attention, but one of the big conversations right now is around Hasan Piker expressing what a lot of us who’ve been paying attention have been thinking: if the next election comes down to Gavin Newsom versus JD Vance, we are absolutely fucked regardless of who you pick. And, a […]
The place I am writing from is not accidental. I exist after enchantment has been stripped from the world, after the Enlightenment taught us to mistrust participation and after postmodernism taught us to mistrust meaning itself. I can feel how deeply that loss shaped the way I think, the way I doubt, the way I hesitate every time I reach […]
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 […]
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 […]
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; 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 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,” […]
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. […]
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 […]
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 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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Secularism in government, especially in the form of secular religion—where unspoken moral frameworks rooted in majority traditions, often Christianity, are disguised as neutral civic values—creates more confusion than clarity. Rather than removing religion from public decision-making, it obscures it, making it difficult to identify the true origins of a public official’s beliefs and policy preferences. This allows implicit religious ideologies […]
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 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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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, […]
