Gene Sharp has been called the most important American political figure you’ve never heard of. How did a militant Cold Warrior come to wield so much influence in protest movements from Venezuela to the Middle East?
Lenin remained true to the tactical guidelines of Karl Kautsky after the latter had abandoned them.
Hubert Harrison was one of the first black socialists in the United States, a fierce champion of racial equality, and a pioneering analyst of how capitalists use racism to divide the working class. He deserves to be remembered.
Trump says he wants to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons, yet he wrecked an international agreement that was doing just that. Now we’re edging closer to a war that the US says it doesn’t want but is doing everything to cause.
Today, corporations see Pride Month as another chance to sell their products. But the greatest gains for the LGBTQ movement came through fighting corporations, challenging workplace discrimination, and building unions.
It was inevitable that Biden’s unsavory record would eventually get the scrutiny it deserves. Last night, it finally started to happen.
Honduras has been under a decade of dictatorship, its 2009 coup heralding a reactionary tide throughout Latin America. Internationalist, anti-imperialist solidarity is desperately needed.
At last night’s debate in Miami, several Democratic candidates continued to peddle misinformation about both free college and Medicare for All.
The Daily Show lied to us. Defending “the facts” and debunking Fox News are no substitute for politics.

There were ten candidates onstage at last night’s Democratic debate in Miami. Bernie Sanders wasn’t one them — but his campaign and policy agenda largely shaped the debate anyway.
We’re ramping up our coverage on a host of important issues. Welcome new columnists Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor and Liza Featherstone.
Unions are schools of workers’ struggle — that’s why socialists talk so much about them. But they’re also contradictory institutions that often become complacent and bureaucratic. That’s why the rank-and-file strategy is so important.
Trump has settled on a cynical strategy in Syria: use the Kurds to try to promote regime change. He doesn’t care about the democratic aspirations of Kurdish revolutionaries.
The feud between Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren supporters is getting ridiculous. Warren isn’t Hillary and Bernie is no sexist.
Socialists keep winning elections. The latest: Tiffany Cabán, who won the Queens, New York, district attorney race last night. She will soon have the opportunity to radically overhaul the criminal justice system by ending cash bail, halting prosecution of crimes of poverty, decriminalizing sex work, and more.
