We’re the Virus
The idea that U.S. wars and military operations overseas in the aftermath of 9-11 have made the world a safer place for Americans is contradicted by the evidence – two pieces of which made the news this morning.
The first piece is ex-MI5 chief Eliza Manningham-Buller’s admission that the war in Iraq [...]

Nick wrote a new blog post: Student Organizing: Lessons From Stony Brook 1 week, 1 day ago
This past semester was my first real dive into full-time student organizing. I had been a supporter and outsider for various campaigns on campus throughout my college career, but it wasn’t until Spring 2010 that I really went all out.
The PHEEIA (Public Higher Education Empowerment and Innovation Act), cuts to the SUNY system and tuition [...] -
Tyler Cullis wrote a new blog post: This Is Not About Al-Qaeda. 3 weeks, 1 day ago
In March 2009, President Obama outlined his Af-Pak strategy, which sought as its primary goal to defeat al-Qaeda and its supporters in the Taliban (instead of engaging in full-scale nation-building). But, if the evidence is judge in these matters, what we’re engaged in is hardly a ‘counter-insurgency’ campaign aimed at defraying the political [...]

The oil spill of the Gulf of Mexico seems to be the hottest topic, flooding Huff Post with new blogs, articles, and updates every few hours. Today, the spill has managed to find its way to Florida’s shores. Blobs of oil goop were found on the beaches early this morning. BP, who is responsible for [...]

Nick wrote a new blog post: Building Community: Lessons From Mexico About Collective Living 2 months, 2 weeks ago
The time I spent in Mexico City with the Frente Popular Francisco Villa Independiente (FPFVI), though short (four weeks), was incredibly eye opening and inspiring. By the end of the first weekend- having spoken with members of the community and given a very brief understanding of how the community was established- I wanted this for [...]

Nick commented on the blog post Capitalism’s Residue 3 months, 3 weeks ago
Oh, I’m actually a non-voter! Though, I don’t disparage those who use traditional channels of activism. I feel like our “democracy” is too far gone for such channels to be truly effective. My goal wasn’t to encourage bullshit reformism. I should look this over and edit it, though, if that’s the impression one takes from [...]

This was edited from a paper for a class, so sorry about the somewhat formal citations and all that:
Opponents, and even allies, of the labor movement have announced its certain demise defiantly in recent history. There is no doubt that they are, to a degree, correct. The labor movement of the 1930s no longer exists, [...] -

I’m uneasy.
For all the literature on capitalism’s effect upon society, the left seems to lack an understanding of how it affects our psyche. We can rant and rave about capitalist alienation, community destruction, socio-economic stratification all day long but these understandings are useless without a basic understanding of how the very way we think and [...] -
DominiqueM wrote a new blog post: Howard Zinn 1922-2010 6 months ago
Today was the first day I woke up with the knowledge that my childhood hero is no longer among us. Yesterday, the fierce and beautiful light that was Howard Zinn passed away at the age of 87. I spent the night trying to figure out how one copes with a loss like this, when your [...]
