Yes, the political system is "broke" and "fixed" to serve the interest of the one percent. -- just as the heathcare, educational, financial, and economic systems are. No, the political system is not implementing policies...

For Paul, First  to say that you are one of my favorite writers and your articles are the first to which I turn on the net and in Z magazine. The statistics and facts contained in your articles make for great cut and pastes when in debates w...

Wonderful essay --- thank you! Had a problem with just one sentence, where you say that the Obama adminstration has been better than Bush; if one looks closely, it's actually much worse, as far as I can see.

Yes, in a democracy, building a majority through compromise would be a logical proposition. But what radicals see and reformers fail to, is that there is no democracy at work here. Obama did not scuttle Kyoto because he represents some majoritaria...

I should point out that in my posted article I was talking about international climate policy not domestic climate policy. I was explaining why Kyoto -- which is a cap and trade policy, i.e. a policy that puts mandatory caps on country's natio...

Tax and dividend is fine. It is important that tax proceeds are used to compensate middle and lower income households for the increase in prices for not only gas and electricity but other energy intensive goods they buy, because puting a price on ...

Dear Robin, I am new to working on the climate change issue full time. Most of the folks I encounter are advocating a "tax and dividend" approach where a tax is place on carbon at the wellhead/mine which drives up the price of all thing...

You guys on znet should have paid more attention to what is going on in Quebec with the student strike. We have the same call for may first, but had a student strike going on for almost two months and a half. We are broken records and making hi...

All the trade unions involved really care about is their dues income, not the welfare of their members whom the unions have consistently failed to defend. All over the country state governments of both party denominations have attacked the pay, be...

I'm glad danny brings up this crucial issue. I too thought the adbusters language was unnecessarily militant, "battle for the soul..." etc.  But this doesn't mean we can or should ignore the antagonism or be wiling to to tak...

It's one thing to be cautious of potential cooperation and another for folks to make sweeping generalizations about something that for me and virtually everyone in my sphere is looking to be a remarkable organizing tool. In Eastern MA the initiati...

This is an excellent article! If Marx was right, and religion is the reflex of social misery, then the creation of a socialist world-system will lead to the withering away of religion, and perhaps we’ll all be better off for that. Because ...

When we get to vote on things for our IOPS organization in the future, how do we prevent people from making thousands of fictitious memberships worldwide and thus influencing, fraudulently, the direction of the organization?

Many of the demands suggested here align with Green Party presidential candidate Jil Stein's.  The Green Party may not be a movement but it is an organization whose aims are relevant and meaningful to those of the Occupy movement.  B...

In this article, Dick Meister, it seems to me, is right on the mark.  The only "but" is not really a but, it is a memory of a stigmatized and attacked Cesar Chavez in his time. I need to look into this more, but I imagine that the ...
