When Kansas Rules The Globe
By William Albee Editor’s Note: The Trump administration has based its economic policy largely on the pseudo-libertarian theories of the Hard Right in American politics. This means that we have, now, a nation-wide version of the disastrous strategy which the Koch Brothers forced on Kansas, and which nearly bankrupted that state. In the follow commentary,…

Read MoreWe Don’t Want To Be Like That
By Michael Jay Tucker So I’m reading a piece in the Washington Post by Marc A. Thiessen entitled, “The past 100 days have been a disaster — for Democrats.” Thiessen is one of those conservatives who, for whatever reason, elects to write for a liberal paper, and the Post is reasonably (if not radically) left…
Read MoreRacist Pizza News
By Luke Haines, LiberalResistance.net UK Correspondent You have to take your hat off to John “Papa John” Schnatter. You might have some sort of fancy college degree in “Pizza Franchise Sabotage” or even a Reverse Advertising qualification from the New Coke School of Bad Ideas. Maybe you’re the guy that came up with that Kendal…
Read MoreThe Blockheads: Fine With Murdering Women
By Luke Haines My girlfriend went to a gig by The Blockheads, the other night. I don’t normally bore the internet with the minutiae of my life – it’s why I’m not on Instagram – but in this case the story has a little more to it. About three songs in, lead singer Derek Hussey…

By Michael Jay Tucker Just the odd thought. I was considering the other day the fact the Right has always been so eager to accuse the Left…us…of being secretly in league with foreign powers.

Read MoreDonald Trump: The Man Who Brought Socialism To America
By Michael Jay Tucker Today, I’m going to do something I never thought I’d do. I’m going to say something nice about Donald Trump. To wit, he of the Orange Head and loathsome mores has done something that decades of activism and tireless effort have failed to do: he has made socialism respectable. It is…
Read MoreRole Reversal: Left Patriot/Right Turncoat
By Michael Jay Tucker It is curious, but for quite a long time…maybe as long as there has been a United States…the Right has consistently smeared us as being, somehow, disloyal. It has always been so eager to find us guilty of treason…to say that we were in some fashion loyal not to our country,…
