California's record high gas prices have set the stage for showdown with oil companies and On November 19th, Californians paid $5.30 per gallon of gasoline, while Texans paid $3.02.

Battle for Social Democracy and Unfettered Capitalism Two opposing schools of thought face each other at the sickbed: neoliberalism and social democracy.

The Humor of Jesus and The cry of the poor After much meditation and reflection, I firmly believe that Jesus made fun of individualism and profit-oriented economic systems. Winning people to trust the infinite, invisible and transcendent God was surely his central goal. “Are not two sparrows sold for a penny?” he asked his calculating counterpart. “No sparrow falls to the ground without your Father’s consent. You are worth more...!...

The American century was yesterday "The people can always be made, with or without the right to vote,
to follow the orders of the leaders. It is very simple. One need
nothing to do but to tell the people that they are being attacked, and to reproach the pacifists of their lack of patriotism and claim that they are putting the country in danger. This method works in every country." (Hermann Goering said this when in prison in 1946)...

The psychology of warmongers and The war cannot be won We should strive quite fundamentally for a different Europe and a different Russia, namely each freed from capitalist, parasitic oligarchy. The Jaurès maxim, "Capitalism carries war like the cloud carries rain," is more relevant than ever.

Against the cannabilism of capital People feel an urgency to connect rather than disconnect. The fact that concepts of intersectionality, ecosocialism, and a feminism of social reproduction are experiencing such resurgence is a testament to this yearning for connection.
