"Truth Is On The Side Of the Oppressed." – Malcolm X
The empire got hacked—again. And not by some teenage troll in a basement. No, this time it was the digital guerrillas of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, quietly cashing in their checks from Fortune 500 companies while the West was too busy high-fiving itself over AI layoffs and ESG PowerPoints.According to the folks at...

1. Kadri’s Lens, Our TerrainAli Kadri doesn’t mince words, and neither should we. In a world where entire countries are razed, populations made into refugees, and social life rendered unlivable, the polite explanations of economists and diplomats begin to sound obscene. This isn’t a system in need of repair. It’s a system functioning exactly as... Continue Reading →
The Guerrilla Who Refused to Kneel Before the Western world reduced his image to a cartoonish dictator, before his name became synonymous with a caricature crafted by capitalist propaganda, Kim Il Sung was something else entirely: a guerrilla fighter, a student of Marxism, a revolutionary forged in the anti-colonial war against Japanese imperialism. He was... Continue Reading →
Waste Is Not an Accident—It’s the PlanAli Kadri doesn’t beat around the bush. In The Accumulation of Waste, he tells us plainly: we live in a system where war, death, and devastation are not unfortunate byproducts of capitalism’s success. They are the success. Waste is no longer what capitalism throws away. Waste is the product.... Continue Reading →
Let’s not mistake the silence of an algorithm for peace. What John Bellamy Foster calls “neofascism” is indeed the shedding of liberal illusion by the U.S. ruling class. But what we face is not just the reappearance of fascism—it is its reprogramming. Technofascism is the name for this update: a new operating system for the... Continue Reading →

More than half a century after his death, his image still triggers fear, loathing, and slander across the capitalist world. From liberal think tanks... Continue Reading →
Batman: The Cape of Technofascism While I was watching Super-Pets with my two youngest daughters tonight, I had an epiphany. A realization so obvious in hindsight I almost laughed out loud. Batman—yes, the Batman—is the archetype of technofascism. Not a side character, not a symptom, but the crystallized, caped embodiment of capital’s authoritarian dreams. The... Continue Reading →
Why Stalin Still Matters “The genius of Stalin is universally recognized... He was a great personality, far beyond the average tyrant or dictator of history.” — Winston Churchill Joseph Stalin remains the most slandered figure of the 20th century. He is portrayed as a paranoid despot, a bloodthirsty tyrant, the twin of Hitler. These are... Continue Reading →
I. The Empire Triumphant—Or So It Thought The 1990s opened with the swagger of a global victor. The Soviet Union had collapsed. China was being groomed into the global market. The Berlin Wall was rubble. And in Washington, neoliberals—both red-tied and blue-tied—declared the “end of history.” Capitalism had won. The U.S. stood unchallenged. But that... Continue Reading →
“The American Revolution didn’t end empire—it gave it a new name and handed it over to the settlers.” The so-called United States of America wasn’t born from democratic awakening—it was a settler coup. The merchant elite, planters, and land speculators saw in revolution not a break from power but a transfer of it—from the British... Continue Reading →
