Thank you, Michael. The wave of "vile and idiotic" attacks on Chavez seems to have crested with his passing - a  winning display of the cowardice of the press, if there weren't so many to choose from - making it considerably mor...

I agree completely that Monbiot is, on the one hand, dead-on in his assessment of rapidly worsening environmental destruction, and yet, on the other, sadly inept when it comes to talking about the causes of global warming--from what I've read ...

Phyllis, Your comment "support for [teachers in BC] is not as close to unanimous as Ms Hawkins might like to think" seems unfair; the author never made such a claim. She noted that the "teachers were seeing widespread support"...

Sorry, Haris, but it's not irrelevant--the point is that this particular article isn't one of the "articles attaching so much to the American public opinion" that you're taking issue with. It's a useful summary of US publ...

I think there's a bit of confusion here I can hopefully clear up. This article wasn't written by Norman Finkelstein, but is re-post by Finkelstein (on his own website and here on ZNet) of the article announcing the poll, as far as I can te...

From looking at the polls, and especially from talking to people, the problem doesn't seem to be that people need to be "awakened" the extent of business influence on society. Take a look at the Gallup poll results from this January,...

Joseph, Perhaps you should read the article. Your response doesn't address it in the least, and if you actually did read it you might find that you agree with Solnit on some points. Instead, it seems as if you saw the words "non-violence...

Arthur - It looks to me like you've been trying to take the Reimagining Society poll rather than the Organization poll that's being discussed here. I can't confirm since I already took the poll, but I seem to remember the process being...

Hi David, While I agree that the ultimate goal is replacing market systems with a truly decent economic model (*cough*cough* parecon), I don't think that what's being argued here is for social democracy as the be-all, end-all of social ...

Thank you, Samson (or is it Marc?). Not only did you very helpfully point out that being more effective in communication often simply means being more mindful and respectful of others as fellow human beings (which I agree is fundamental, for more ...

The mainstream coverage of both events is an absolute disgrace no matter how you look at it... zero coverage for the WSF and zero coverage of the actual protests and demands at the G20 (or what's going on behind closed doors, for that matter), but...

In regards to your thoughts on "the left" and politics, A) when you say "politics" you must mean the official state/national parliamentary/electoral system - to say those on the left end of the political/social spectrum basical...

Absolutely. You need money to get (or buy) attention, and even more than that, you need the support of big capital, both domestic and international, to even have a chance at cracking the primaries or the debates. (Nader is a good example here: spe...
