    From the Amerikan invasion and theft of Mexican lands, to present day migrants risking their lives to cross the U.$. border, the Chican@ nation has developed in a cauldron of national oppression and liberation struggles.

  • Is China an Imperialist Country?

    Whether or not China is now a capitalist-imperialist country is an issue on which there is some considerable disagreement, even within the revolutionary left. This book brings together theoretical, definitional and logical considerations, as well as the extensive empirical evidence which is now available, to demonstrate that China has indeed definitely become a capitalist-imperialist country. Indeed, the issue is raised of whether the current world imperialist system is in fact in the early stages of bifurcating into two competing imperialist blocs, one led by the United States and the other led by China.

Systems of Oppression and the Far Right

i have been giving some thought to a kind of rhetorical pose that has always annoyed me, of juxtaposing the damage done by systems of oppression (racism, national oppression, patriarchy, homophobia, etc.) and the far right. This has been obvious to some extent recently in the internet commentary surrounding a certain anarchist author who is alleged to be a fascist infiltrator — some people are now citing problems in articles this guy has written, to show how it “was obvious” to them all the while that he didn’t have good anti-racist politics. As if that somehow relates to whether or ...........READ MORE
