Why this Blog
Too many people are suffering unnecessary pain. My books document why this happens and how we can end such suffering. The purpose of this blog is to apply the same experience, research, and analysis to present-day events.
Everyone deserves the right to contribute to society and to have their needs met. I open these pages for you to share your thoughts on how this can be achieved.
Capitalism
The Anti-War Movement And The Working Class
Anti-war demonstrations are a form of militant lobbying. Even radical direct action and civil disobedience aim to convince power-holders to do something different. This faith in government is misplaced.
Labor
Lessons from the Metro Grocery Workers’ Strike

Oppression
The Revolution Will Not Be Managed
While all societies require people to be organized, the need for external management is a unique feature of class-divided societies.
Strategies
F*ck the Parliamentary Vote! Build a Worker-Based Anti-War Movement!
Over six months of mass protests have failed to compel policy makers to reject war. Why is this so, and what is the alternative?
Media
Freedom Battles – 1960s and 70s
The deprivation of World War II raised expectations for a better world. Yet oppressions continued: colonialism, exploitation, racism, sexism, and war. The result was a global explosion of revolt. Prepare to be inspired!
