"Truth Is On The Side Of the Oppressed." – Malcolm X
This Weaponized Intellects review of Caliban and the Witch by Silvia Federici excavates how capitalism emerged not as progress, but as a counter-revolution forged through land theft, colonial conquest, and the violent subjugation of women’s bodies. It traces the medieval struggles of peasants, workers, and heretics to show that another world was not only imagined—but... Continue Reading →
J. Sakai’s interviews force the U.S. left to confront the settler-colonial foundations it has spent generations avoiding. His analysis exposes the myth of the revolutionary white proletariat, the collapse of liberal illusions, and the expansion of war into every domain of life. But Weaponized Information pushes further, grounding his insights in monopoly finance capital, technofascism,... Continue Reading →
What appears to be a comparison between two unrelated commodities—apples picked in U.S. orchards and Apple devices assembled across the Global South—is in fact a comparison between two forms of the same capitalist-imperialist labor regime. In U.S. agriculture, superexploitation is organized through settler-colonial land relations, racialized migrant labor, H-2A dependency, deportability, and the broader coercive... Continue Reading →
Four former presidents gather under corporate media lights to present democracy as a shared moral inheritance, grounded in unity, civility, and participation. Beneath that performance lies a material history of deregulation, war, surveillance, and repression that produced the very crisis now being discussed. The interview reveals not reflection, but a ruling-class effort to manage legitimacy... Continue Reading →
They tell you this is about Democrats failing to stand up to Trump, but that’s a lie—both parties built the spy machine together. The receipts show a straight line from the Patriot Act to Section 702, signed, funded, and protected by the same politicians now playing concerned. What we’re dealing with isn’t a policy debate—it’s... Continue Reading →
This review reconstructs the Korean War not as a sudden conflict in 1950, but as the culmination of colonial transformation, revolutionary struggle, and imperial intervention between 1945 and 1947. Drawing on Bruce Cumings, it reveals how liberation opened a radical possibility that was contained, divided, and ultimately reshaped into two opposing systems—making war not accidental,...

USA TODAY reports the bombs, the bodies, and the diplomatic noise, but leaves the machinery of power in the shadows. Beneath the language of “escalation” lies a longer structure of occupation, ceasefire manipulation, infrastructural warfare, and pressure on Lebanese sovereignty. The strikes on Lebanon are not an interruption of order, but one of the ways... Continue Reading →
JSTOR’s tidy little history lesson reveals something real, but only after liberal scholarship scrubs the auction block clean enough for polite readers. Beneath the archive sits a system that turned rape, forced birth, and hereditary bondage into law, credit, and capital. The real story is not bad science gone astray, but a slave order using...

A liberal memoir transforms a history of anti-imperialist rebellion into a story of family inheritance, masking the structural realities of empire and repression. Beneath that narrative lies a system defined by imperial war abroad and counterinsurgency at home, where dissent is managed, surveilled, and neutralized. The Weather Underground emerged from this contradiction, but its turn... Continue Reading →
What masquerades as a race-class conflict in America is merely the internal workings of empire. By tracing the evolution of labor relations, it becomes clear that racial divisions are structural, not superficial nuisances. This overlapping oppression demands a unified, revolutionary response, dispelling false dichotomies to reveal a singular system demanding collective action.
