American Democracy: A Primer

As the oligarchy’s plan to deliberately destroy American society materialises, and the reasons why they do this become clear, what remains unclear is what the opposition plans to do: absolutely nothing.  People are already reminiscing the days of “democracy”, as if things used to be perfect.  But it was that “perfect” democracy which laid out … Continue reading American Democracy: A Primer

American Chaos: The Oligarchy’s Plan to do The Unimaginable

Amid increasing speculation that America’s oligarchs may be attempting to crash the economy on purpose, it is important to remember that the global economic system was made to crash in the first place, whether intentionally, or not.  Capitalism is by definition a self-destructive force which maximizes profit through rapid resource destruction, chaos and inequality.  In … Continue reading American Chaos: The Oligarchy’s Plan to do The Unimaginable

It’s Time to Burn Your Suits, Ladies and Gentlemen.  Do It Now

Not all men or women who wear suits disgust me.  It is only the ones who I can tell have been spending countless hours in the mirror creating the most polished and cold “professional” image of themselves who I find particularly gross.  Their submission to the suit culture screams “I will do anything for the … Continue reading It’s Time to Burn Your Suits, Ladies and Gentlemen.  Do It Now

Fascism and Capitalism. A Short Reference Guide on How the Two (Don’t) Differ

Whether Kamala or Trump had won, this world would have gone … Continue reading Fascism and Capitalism. A Short Reference Guide on How the Two (Don’t) Differ

When Politics Dies

Trump is what happens to a country when it stops caring about politics and outsources democracy to corporate investors. I’ve lived 12 years in the US.  Whenever I attempted to start a political conversation with an American, I would be interrupted by “OMG did you see that show on TV last night? It was hilarious”. … Continue reading When Politics Dies

This American Hate

I understand that many Democrat voters at this stage hate Republicans so much.  After all, their fundamental human rights are being attacked.  What I don’t understand though is how naïve Democrats are to not be able to diagnose the issue, what brought us here. They are supposed to be the "smart, educated" ones and they … Continue reading This American Hate

Why The Democrats Were Always Set To Lose

The problem with the Democratic Party is that it became consumed with defining itself as the opposite of Trump, rather than carving its own identity.  Usually when someone defines themselves based on someone else, it means that they’ve got nothing to say. And in this case, it also meant that they had something to hide.  … Continue reading Why The Democrats Were Always Set To Lose

When Hunger Turns to Hate, And Global Capital Cashes In On The Spectacle (Yet Again):  The Tsakraklides View on the US Election.

The result of the American election exemplifies a pattern witnessed multiple times throughout the history of human civilisation.  A hungry and angry electorate will always imagine witches they need to burn and fascist saviours they desperately want to believe.  But this need for modern-day witches and false saviours reached a flashpoint in recent years, as … Continue reading When Hunger Turns to Hate, And Global Capital Cashes In On The Spectacle (Yet Again):  The Tsakraklides View on the US Election.
