This problem seems to require a technological solution. One aproach is for posters to sign their messages with their cryptographic signature. This works by encoding the message with the poster's private key, such that it can only be decoded wi...

I must say that I'm impressed with this article. While it doesn't provide all the answers as to how to grow a strong and vital left, at least Mr. Street is offering some positive and creative ideas. I think we must be wary of assumin...

Thank you, Professor, for this thoughtful piece. To those who may not watch Glenn Beck very often, the so-called "Cloward-Piven strategy" really is a staple of Beck's overarching theme: Obama is a secret socialist who is ...

Before this article by Prof. Dr. Frances Fox Piven, there was an article on the Guardian website. I posted a brief comment, that was roughly: I know Prof. Piven's work since the mid-60, when my first spouse was attend...

I first heard of Frances Fox Piven's work in the mid-1960s, when my first spouse was attending Columbia School of Social Work in community organizing. His professor mentioned the concept by Piven and Cloward of all the people eligible fo...

The right to bare arms makes as much sense as arming bears. Thanks for a great article.

Of course he does. But only a fool or a paranoid maniac would extrapolate from his role in Eastern Europe in the 80's or in the various more recent "color revolutions" that he is trying to bring down the U.S. government. Glenn Beck, ...

Stephen Zunes does make a credible case that he has directed the bulk of his work to the critical analysis of U.S. and U.S. client-state abuses and that it is unfair to accuse him of focusing only on governments that are U.S. targets.[1] ...

In spite of the dreadful and depressing revelations, the activists behind Wikileaks and other new media represent the hope that the 'little people of the world" can fight back and win. Great documentary.
