Thanks for this piece. It's a pity that there is so little response on Znet these days. This Saturday I march with many others in London, UK on the Trades Union Council (TUC)-organised demonstration against the cuts to public sector serv...

Thank you for speaking the truth Professor Chomsky, time and again. The world needs more voices and minds like yours in these increasingly complex times. As I have heard you say before, we all need to arm ourselves intellectually and morally, thro...

Maybe the Democratic Party will die sooner rather than later.  Takeover by the Left?  It's sad that talk of general strike fizzed...  Had noticed the lack of corporate accuracy in numbers (going back to antiwar protests and earl...

Paul Street's articles are excellent and this one is no exception.  There are many reasons why the U.S. is as it is and why the so-called official establishment has moved in the rightward direction that it has.  Each country has its ...

The necessary anger and outrage has predictably dissapeared from the screen, replaced by the predictable pleas for money I am now recieving. ""The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee set a goal of raising $100,000 in 24 hrs from...

Everybody wants  revolution, they just don't want    A    revolution! I forget who said that, anyway, thanks for being the radical conscience here at Znet. For the Sleeping Giant to arise, it's demand ca...

David Jones - well said. My visit (second so far) to Madison yesterday felt all too consistent with your assessment, sad to say.  The events and people (a remarkable 125,000) at and around the Rotunda seemed rather over-focused on e...

I think we have our answer Paul. I watched the rally in Masison yesterday and the tone was polite. Jesse Jackson leading prayers, politicians saying vote Democrat, blah blah. Recall petition drives puts the ball back in the electoral court, stall...

John, I should not have used that as a pejorative label, sorry, but ...your prescription is progressive rather than radical.  The way I see this historical moment, there are plenty of progressives out there pushing reform. We need to be pushi...

One quick comment because I need to hop in the shower and get some food. Im starving. I also have to disagree. It's a mistake to think that because neoliberalism has changed the structures of capitalism, that it's all inevitable. There is...

Capitalism is beyond repair. Only socialist solution is really possible - or it would be the end of the humanakind and possibly the end of the life on the Earth

A decisive moment for union leadership as well as membership which has bought in to no-strike clauses and labor peace and working with Democrats, all failed policies they must re-consider. Of course the real question is : do they want concessions...
