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 →
Inside the House of Cards: How Empire Manages Crisis Through Memory, Civility, and Myth
Four former presidents gather under corporate media lights to present democracy as a shared moral inheritance, grounded in unity, civility, and participation.

The Machine Was Built to Watch You: How Bipartisan Power Engineered America’s Surveillance State

The Capitalized Womb: How Slavery Turned Black Women’s Reproduction into American Wealth

The Colonial Architecture of Class: How Race Was Engineered to Divide Labor and Stabilize Empire
What masquerades as a race-class conflict in America is merely the internal workings of empire.

Borrowed Flags, Built-In Crisis: South Korea’s Anti-Communist State Cracks Under Its Own Weight
POLITICO turns a deep political rupture into spectacle, masking a crisis rooted in repression, dependency, and anti-communist rule. Beneath that spectacle lies a system shaped by coup attempts, militarized governance, U.S. command integration, and a society strained by inequality and dislocation.
