​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.
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...
Trump is dangerous not simply because of his imbecility and unbridled narcissism, but because he lacks the core attributes of empathy and understanding that define the human soul.
No Kings is historically good at mobilizing. Radicals and revolutionaries need to be historically good at compatibly organizing.
Trump's war on immigrants is the most visible expression of a system that has long treated millions as a permanent underclass of the country they have built. Now the movement against his attacks has to go on the offensive, which means putting the fight for full rights for all...
Jeffrey Epstein was a horrifying but oddly “talented” specimen of humanity. He had some combination of “qualities” that facilitated his assembling an
Why do people spend so much time analyzing and documenting the seemingly never-ending horrors taking place throughout the world at the hands of Trump & Co, but not nearly as much time proposing what to do about them or fighting back?
No, of course not. People have rights. The concept of a state's right to exist is not recognized in any international law. The question “Does Israel have a right to exist?” is a little rhetorical trick designed to make the rights of certain people disappear, and we have an...
What was once covert, controversial, and constrained is now overt, normalized, and defended.
Human life cannot be reduced to barrels of oil, dollars of growth, or inflation points. To do so is to make mass murder manageable, calculable, acceptable.
A system of concentration camps is being built and it's time the nation reckon with this monstrosity before any more people are killed.
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...
My fellow tenants and I were able to win rent relief and repairs in our building. Maybe you can, too.
We need movements that can hold complexity, sustain relationships, keep people in the struggle and invite more in, not chew them up and spit them out. Radical consciousness is not enough. We need to match it with radical tools. Here is my attempt to pass some of those tools on.
Gaza is only the start. The new world order is one where the weak are obliterated by the strong, the rule of law does not exist, genocide is an instrument of control and barbarism is triumphant.
A hybrid model of assemblies may be the key to bringing in vast numbers of people into the process of forging a new world and governing the one we have.
There's much more we can and should do. But this plan would get us moving in the right direction: expanding educational public goods that are democratic, ecological, and life-affirming.
Mandatory conscription makes war easier, not harder.
Working class voters need a home, but the Democratic Party refuses to build them one.
For decades, Western political discourse framed Israel as a democratic outpost surrounded by hostile forces. That narrative has steadily eroded. Increasingly, Israel is described—even by major international organizations—as a state engaged in systematic oppression and, in...
An interview with Israeli academic and activist Idan Landau, who says "as long as the US and Europe continue to insulate Israel from the moral consequences of its policies," things are likely to go from bad to worse.
If not stopped soon, this war could easily turn into a global conflagration, effectively into World War III.
This statement will be seen by some merely as an act of loyalty. Nothing could be further from the truth. I have grappled, struggled deeply, over this situation, while seeking to remain faithful to the truth. It is in the service of truth–the very thing Noam Chomsky wanted us...
​Why did the United States help topple a democratic government in Iran some 70 years ago—and how did that decision create the conditions we’re seeing today?

What is unfolding is an attempt to restore racial hierarchy as common sense, to turn historical amnesia into governing logic.
Cut the military budget in half. Bloated war spending remains a sacred cow for far too many.

“There is a time when silence is a lie, when silence is complicity, and when silence betrays our troops, our country, and ourselves. We owe it to our troops, as well as to other potential victims of this war, to speak the truth."
Once again, America is going to war for Israel. Once again, many will die for the Zionist state, including American service members. Once again, we will stumble blindly into a military fiasco. Once again, we will do the bidding of a foreign power whose interests are not our...
With democratic control over our productive capacities we can stop climate breakdown in short order. We can overcome the capitalist law of value, and organize production around social and ecological objectives.
​Parenti stands out as uniquely courageous and unapologetic in directly confronting capitalism, US imperialism, and the manifold corruptions and inequities of society’s powerful.
An anti-imperialist stance today implies the unconditional defense of Iran against U.S. and Israeli aggression, while rejecting both a pro-imperialist transition imposed from above and the regime’s attempt to monopolize anti-imperialism in order to demobilize and repress...
Numerous filmmakers used the Berlinale platform in Germany to speak out against the Israeli genocide in Gaza. That only highlighted the cowardice of those who chose not to. Their excuses do not hold up.
What sets Mamdani apart from other progressive mayors who promised to be tough on police is a democratic socialist vision of a society that meets people’s needs.
One of the central insights emerging from research on degrowth and climate mitigation is that universal public services are crucial to a just and effective transition.

Swedish social democracy produced one of the most humane societies in history. That wouldn’t have happened without a militant labor movement and a working-class political party.
“No modern nation has ever equaled the crushing offensive power attained by the German war machine in 1939. No modern nation was broken and smashed as was Germany six years later.” - D. Eisenhower
​Jackson was ahead of his time in seeing not only problems in agriculture but what he called the problem of agriculture, the millennia of soil erosion and soil degradation caused by plowing and planting annual grains such as wheat.
Nikki Woods explores the deep ecological connections forged through surviving enslavement and its aftermath, as well as throughout African history.
A common objection to calls for demand reduction and degrowth comes from defenders of the status quo:
The case for a better future
A commons world is decentralised, stable and unified, not statist, growth-obsessed and 'left’. I’d like to persuade the left away from statist ‘solutions’, and yes, to recruit the 'right' as well – why not?
When given the opportunity to seek justice for countless women and children who were trafficked, abused, and exploited by the world’s wealthiest, most powerful people, the MAGA movement and its leaders have shown a startling disinterest in accountability.

“Revolution is not a paradise on earth. It is a constant process of change, with obstacles and shortcomings,” Felix Weber, a member of the Internationalist Commune in Rojava, told me. “The difference is that people here don’t pull back from the obstacles but try to overcome...

In Pirates and Emperors, Noam Chomsky retells the story from St. Augustine’s City of God in which a pirate, captured by Alexander the Great, is asked how he dares to molest the sea. “How dare you molest the whole world?” the pirate replies. “Because I do it with a little ship...
Capitalism cares about our species’ prospects as much as a wolf cares about a lamb’s. But democratize our economy and a better world is within our grasp.
Myths are often treated as ahistorical, but here they are understood as alive and operating as memory systems that organize power in the present. This glossary names 100 and their function. They are the stories we live inside, defined.
It is time for each state to immediately review and suspend all ties with Israel. Their military, strategic, political, diplomatic, economic, relations – both imports and exports – and to make sure that their private sector, insurers, banks, pension funds, and universities do...

The left has absorbed right-wing frameworks that undermine our efforts, often making our spaces inaccessible and unwelcoming to new people, writes Chris Crass. Liberation culture encourages us to become and be the leaders we needed, or wish we had, when we were new.
These overlooked offices control the budgets, databases, and cooperation that make the terror possible—or impossible.
​The Trump administration claims that its assault on immigrants will protect American workers. But its masked, armed federal agents are creating hostile environments for all workers, not just immigrants.
"Noam’s overly trusting nature, in this specific case, led to severe poor judgment on both our parts... we express our unrestricted solidarity with the victims," Valéria Chomsky writes.

If you want a more progressive Democratic Party, the California governor ain't it.
History shows us that once a nation builds a mass detention apparatus, it never remains limited to its original targets. Wake up, people.
Why the popular anarchist critique gets strategic resistance backwards—and what actually threatens power

Power anywhere where there’s people. Power anywhere where there’s people. Let me give you an example of teaching people. Basically, the way they learn is observation and participation. You know a lot of us go around and joke ourselves and believe that the masses have PhD’s...

Firearms may feel like instruments of resistance, but they do not create the collective capacity required to confront either state or corporate power. Organized labor—strikes, boycotts, mass noncompliance, & withdrawal of labor—by contrast, operates at the level Friedrich...
