General Strike Needed to Stop Police Killings On September 2, 2016 in India, 180 million people went on a labor strike, shouting anti-government slogans. India is a country of 1.252 billion people. The US has 318 million. If they can carry out a general strike in a large country, so can we. We can start city by city, wherever the police killing takes place, until the killer cop is fired. A trial is a waste because it is a staged farce with no conviction or a conviction on a minor charge, all at taxpayer's expense. The pictures of In... Posted: Thu Sep 22, 2016 11:40PM

Power Elites: On the Great illusion of Pluralist Liberalism With his 1956 book "The Power Elite," C. Wright Mills put the democratic character of the US to the test. Despite formal democratic structures, a power elite formed that suspends democratic procedures. Mills broke through the wall of dominant ideological convictions as the great unquestioned illusion influencing citizens' ideas of reality. "Real power starts from a political directorate. In truth, only small circles have power."... Posted: Wed Sep 21, 2016 5:10AM

The Crises of Today's Economy Struggling for basic rights through middle class revolutions and for the social state through workers' movements are the most important examples for the emancipation process. The market is not a subject but an instrument. Nevertheless "the primacy of the market" has replaced "the primacy of politics." Neoliberalism actually serves the interests of finance capital. A doctor whose therapy causes sicknesses cannot understand this. Therefore our elites are in great distress and urge more market a... Posted: Tue Sep 13, 2016 5:12AM

15 Years Since 9/11 Inside Job In 1991, with the end of the Soviet Union, the US war machine had no pretext for its existence. Thus, 10 years later, the US capitalist class manufactured the 9/11 Inside Job, the American Reichstag Fire perpetrated for the same reason as the Nazis burned their own government building, the Reichstag, and blamed the communists, namely to maximize profits of the munitions makers and oil companies, where the greatest profits are, maximization of profits being the primary goal of the bankrupt so...

US Economy: False Diagnoses and False Solutions Hillary Clinton's and Donald Trump's economic plans are too simplistic. Innovations and ideas are lacking. Many people despair. Washington did not always ignore the middle.
