Cuba Beyond the One-Party Myth Rethinking Cuba's political system as a model of participatory democracy

One day, my feet will be on Cuban soil, my hands will be interconnected with the people, and my eyes will be locked onto the vision of a better world in reach; only then will my body be congruous with my heart and mind.

It’s so low effort. This is redbaiting propaganda, first of all, and it’s poorly written. The first line contradicts the third.

Ahh that makes more sense. Def need to add to my collection. I've been reading a ton of philosophy lately. What'd you think overall?

I get what is being said, but the writing is unnecessarily convoluted. The idea, however, is interesting and makes me want to get more of the argument. I just wish it was more clear and to the point.

This is like Comicon but for middle-aged, divorced white dudes whose daughters immediately went no contact as soon as they turned 18.

On Violence An examination and reinterpretation of violence as a progressive force against oppression.

The question “Is violence ever justified?” assumes that politics begins in peace. History suggests otherwise.

Can ever function as a force against the systems that produce it?

I explore this problem in a new essay.

The Joint Statement by the three parties is weak. We need to be absolutely unequivocally clear about one thing.

It is AMERICANS and ISRAELIS who should be advocating for revolutionary defeatism, not the people of Iran.

all in the service of imperialist interests, against the interests of peoples, their independence and their right to self-determination in an effort to dominate and control the region and the world.”

I’ve tried to make the shift from shitposts to serious work. Over the past year we’ve grown from 0 to nearly 4,000 subscribers on substack.

My writing does not get pushed by the bluesky algorithm at all, but it would mean the world if you took a minute to check out my page.

We must always fight imperialism at every level on every continent. I do believe it is the greatest threat to humanity, not least because it makes people abandon theirs.

It is a long essay, but I think it’s well worth the read.

Please check it out if you have the time.

Reported footage from Tehran shows an apocalyptic US-Israel axis bombing of Iran.

The US has nothing left to save its hegemony other than raining death and destruction from the sky.

I just want to put it out there that I have been a longtime hater of The Atlantic.

They are a neofascist publication and have been since the beginning—they just don’t even try to hide it anymore, like at all.

Line graph showing the price of Brent oil from around 2017 to 2025. Price of oil is now at 84.29$ a barrel

Gee, I wonder why the Western oligarch class is so keen to start a war...

The price of Brent oil has exceeded $84 per barrel for the first time since June 2024 due to the US/Israeli violence.

That's what we call a materialist critique ;)

Frame it.

To fight for people, for the betterment of humanity, is the highest calling one could receive.

Please do not complain about having to pay $0.33 more per gallon of gas right now, you sound ridiculously ignorant.

Nuclear Weapons, Sanctions, and Imperial Hierarchy How imperialism, not nuclear weapons, creates global instability. A Marxist analysis of militarism, sanctions, and financial hierarchy.

Nuclear weapons dominate our imagination, but are they truly humanity’s greatest threat?

In my latest essay, I argue that the bomb is only the most dramatic expression of a deeper system: imperialism.

Algorithmic Consumerization Capitalism’s Circulatory System and the Privatization of Consciousness

You are not choosing. You are being conditioned.

The algorithm doesn’t force you to consume, it makes certain you want to. This is capitalism refined.

What Does "Exploitation" Actually Mean? This essay explains labor-power, surplus value, absolute and relative surplus value, and why profit arises structurally under capitalism.

Most people think exploitation means low wages or bad bosses. For Marx, it means something far more structural: profit itself depends on surplus labor.

Rising wages don’t eliminate exploitation. They can intensify it.
