Lynne, Your unflinching courage, your unhesitating willingness to civilly disobey codifications you rightly believed were violative of our freedom of speech, and your fearless statements to the media that resulted in the outrageousl...

I don't see how 52% of the white male vote, 47% of the female vote, and 16% of the black vote gets a guy a 53% majority. Even if only a hundred women and black people voted, you still can't get over 52%. Can you?

I share Mike Rissler's response to Fred Branfman's remarkable essay, particularly his acknowledgement of the important influence both Noam Chomsky and Howard Zinn have played in his life.  But I also thank Fred for presenting such a v...

Really nothing needs to be said or added, it's just that this article is so unusual and touches upon two people who have influenced me so much in my life, and as a result changed my life and continue to do so--Noam Chomsky and Howard Zinn. I ...

Since when did Hedge`s work become drivel?  Ever since he began calling out the dangers posed by individuals who believe they have a right to behave in whatever way they choose, and with total disregard to the destructive consequences of thei...

Thank for you saying this. The fact that Zmag continues to post Hedge's drivel is disappointing. He will soon find out that the moderate left or whatever he thinks he is wants nothing to do with him. And he has forever burned his bridges with ...

Kim is right to question Mr. Horn’s analysis. One factor that has emerged in all the post-recall post-mortems is that a fairly large majority of Wisconsin voters were completely against the idea of a recall under any circumstances, as well...

I totally disagree with Steve Horn's claim that people in general are attracted to right wing populism.  He makes this claim, sounding very authoritative, but presents no evidence for it. But it's so simple--it SOUNDS good.  How...

. Many people tend not to bother commenting after articles, but what does David Harvey think of the Parecon structure for society? Has he gave it a serious look? What are the parts of society in the Parecon model that are needing a change to vert...

Great article, as ever, Medea. Just picking up on one of your points: Or consider the case of Luis Posada Carrilles, a Cuban-American living in Miami who is a known terrorist convicted of masterminding a 1976 bombing of a Cuban airliner that kil...

There's no humanitarian strategy.  It's the same with the way we treat Palastinians.  We let Isreal trample all over them.  We spent over $300 million in Yemen.  With that kind of money given out, the public should have...

Understood and agreed.  The idea that we should allot "decision making power to the degree that each is affected" is a good organizing principle, but difficult to implement as it entails a lot of agreement about who is involved and ...

Thanks for your comments. I agree with you regarding the protection of minorities. Any decision making body (work place or OWS type assemblies) should protect its minorities by giving it special prerogatives. However, if by minority we mean thos...

Despite my own strong sympathies for anarchism as an ideal, or long duration goal, I think Mr. Glick is right. We can’t reasonably expect anything to change without an electoral component to our strategy. The problem is that for the last 32 ...
