Ever since Ahmed Janabi's report first surfaced on english.aljazeera.net that an "Iraqi political group," indeed, an expatriate Iraqi political group based in Britain, contends reports that approximately "37,000 Iraqi civilians were killed between...

Who needs the Venezuelan opposition to criminally announce the results of the referendum in advance when the international press can do so just as well? Even though the National Electoral Council has just announced (about 8:30pm) that polls will ...

Thee was a great deal of advance warning that the opposition would commit violence as a last resort if it looked like it was losing. That has happened, it seems. The EFE news agency is reporting that 12 people have been wounded and at least 1 ki...

Thought I should check in, even though there are no results yet obviously. Indeed, there has been an announcement that the polls are closing 4 hours later than planned -- 10pm, that is, instead of 6pm. It is going to be a long night. The privat...

By this point, talking about parecon's implications for athletics and athletes ought to be relatively easy. It is barely different than the case in other domains such as science, art, etc. There is, however, one interesting new angle to address, t...

Used neutrally, the term "globalization" just refers to international integration. Virtually no one is opposed to that, certainly not the left or the workers movements, which from their modern origins have been committed to international solidar...

Today is the day before the referendum. Not only is campaigning formally closed, but there is also a law in effect, quite common in Latin America, that no alcohol is to be sold or consumed until well after the referendum. And with good reason, g...

Brian, I am not entirely sure I am understanding your points. I am pretty sure that I haven't heard anyone else say quite what you are saying, and that it is not a set of concerns that are going to arise often. Still, I want to try to reply, if no...

This is the aspect of parecon theory where I diverge 180 degrees. I cannot fathom why, or really even how, the work of artists (and I'll include "commentators" and social critics in that realm, just to make sure I'm dragged in as well), are to be ...
