Biden's threat against Iran amounts to a US blank check for Israeli aggression. Israel can attack Iran, assured in advance of US support regardless of the consequences. What if China defends Iran? Will the US then attack China? The escalation toward World War III continues.

At the April 8 discussion organized by WSU chapter of the International Youth and Students for Socialist Equality [IYSSE], I was asked to compare conditions facing youth today to those that provoked the extreme radicalism of the 1960s. An important and complicated question.

A Wayne State University student asked me to explain why the Socialist Equality Party [Socialist Equality Party (US)] rejected the 'lesser of two evils' tactic -- that is, voting for Biden to stop Trump. Socialist election strategy, I replied, is focused on raising workers' class consciousness.

Historical falsifier Hannah-Jones does not question the existence of capitalist private property, which in the end is the progenitor of all forms of inequality and scarcity. She merely demands a greater share of the spoils for the African American elite. wsws.org/en/articles/20…

The death of #JosephLieberman is the occasion for an eruption of moralizing flatulence in honor of the 'conscience of the Senate.' He won a place in the pantheon of hypocrisy with a speech on the Lewinsky scandal, upon which I commented in 1998.
