If our country wipes out a civilization, and even if our country doesn’t but was ready to, was even eager to, will we all have lunch tomorrow like any other day? Will we get up, get out of bed, get dressed, and go to school or to work like any other day?

Tl;dr: For historical and cultural reasons, the Commons has remained largely overlooked or misunderstood. But today, it’s more important than ever to restore it as a vital third mode of provisioning—one that complements and moderates both markets and governments.
Michel Rauchs
Tl;dr: We are facing an overlapping set of crises that our dominant institutions seem unable to address. While many have withdrawn in disillusionment, their latent desire for change can be redirected toward the Commons: a real, actionable alternative grounded in...

Marxism never offered a workable economic blueprint—only a powerful critique of capitalism. The real delusion lies in treating vague “socialist” labels as coherent systems, writes Peter Joseph.
Peter Joseph
Marx nailed capitalism’s flaws, from exploitation to why it can’t be reformed. But his path to change led to centralized power instead of freedom. The real alternative? Decentralized commons, not communism, Dave Darby argues.

Iran is winning the war that was started by the USA and Israel. This is now admitted even by major Western media outlets. Tehran has successfully destroyed the US military bases in West Asia (aka the Middle East), forcing the Pentagon to operate from Europe.
Many congressional Democrats seem more interested in using Trump's war on Iran to score victories in the midterms than to use what power they do have to bring it to an end.

Human rights are universal. They cannot be permits, revocable by any state on the basis of ethnicity, religion, nationality or birthplace. These manufactured differences are used as tools for divide and conquer.
While we need a massive “big tent” resistance against this horrendous man and moment, we also need a sustained and independent mass movement against America’s bipartisan wars, its bipartisan military-industrial complex, and its bipartisan marriage to corporate power and...

From the outside, Israel looks like an impenetrable fortress. But power and permanence are not the same thing. The settler-colony is collapsing because it's as fragile as a house of cards. Here's how.
A four-day, 32-hour workweek with full pay and benefits should be at the center of this offensive agenda. The demand for shorter work time shows how the gains from technology can flow outward, not just upward. If A.I.’s promise is that it’s going to “save us time,” then it...
