I have a gret deal of difficulty in seeing how we can bring democracy to our own dollarocracy. This is one of the more chauvinist pieces I've seen on a left site regarding Islam and the 1.2 billion people who follow it. Not capable of democrac...

Very well-thought out piece. I think the implications for union strategies are very important to keep in mind. I'd be curious to know 1) what practical steps should be taken now to advance the syndicalist idea and 2) what your thou...

And, by the way, I don't agree either with the idea that Chomsky is dour and devoid of humour. He may not be the most humorous person in the world (I am sure he is not even trying to be that), but his writings and speeches have more and ...

Frankly speaking, I do not know much about Aaron Swartz as a person, so I am not sure what to make of this 'tribute'. What I do know is that the matter about JSTOR and MIT and the related prosecution is a pariticulary grotesque symptom of ...

IMO, the Arab Spring uprisings were set off by the widespread poverty and lack of economic equity and opportunity under capitalism. The Arab Spring societies are totalitarian in their thinking . Totalitarian rule is what they prefer in gov...

because, on the contrary, we should be worried about the rise of the extreme Right. The modern European history teaches us that when Europe faces economic troubles that its political parties cannot resolve, the extreme right or some form of Righti...

When Danny writes, "In conversations with a dozen Democratic politicians, with a few exceptions, there is a pervasive pessimism about the next several years. Almost all requested anonymity, not out of fear, they say, but to avoid giving solac...

Sure, the gap between the commands/policy from the top and situation on the ground; the ambiguous nature of orders; the need of the presidents to win wars, and the fear and youth of American soldiers were factors that partially explain the genocid...

Thanks for the article Roger. As an activist, is there any positive effect that you can see us having on the region? Or a chance of helping the Touareg people? It seems that you have little respect for the current government of...

You have long been, in my opinion, the best journalist in the world reporting on and writing about the Middle East. However, I disagree with you on this issue. I often contribute to online discussions under a pseudonym, a practice I started at m...
