@mtaibbi Stalin's "socialism in one country" was anti-Marxist and counterrevolutionary. Trotsky predicted Stalinism would ultimately result in the restoration of capitalism, and it did. Genuine socialism now. Permanent revolution now. Mobilize the working class. wsws.org/en/articles/20…


US national debt just hit $39.4 trillion. Nearly 75% of it has been accumulated since the 2008 financial crisis. We’re now paying over $1 trillion a year just to service the debt, more than we spend on national defense. Deficits are still running at $1.8–2 trillion annually, so both the principal and the interest tab keep exploding. And CBO projects interest costs will roughly double this decade. We’re going to be paying for it with higher taxes on working families and their kids, printing money that drives up the cost of living, or eventually slashing future benefits. And neither party wants to stop it.





With regard to "Judeo Christian": The 10 Commandments are Jewish. The great stories of the Old Testament are Jewish. The Jews developed the idea of subsidiarity as the alternative to tyranny and slavery. The Jews established the cultural preconditions for the rise of universal literacy. The fate of Israel at the hands of the Islamists is the fate of the West. This rising tide of anti-semitism sickens me. Those of you engaging in it for your oh-so-moral reasons—you're despicable. And remember, you proud "Christians" objecting in all your purity to the term: Christ Himself was a Jew.
