‘Worse than Hitler’: Nazi revisionism in the service of US foreign policy
In routinely comparing its geopolitical rivals to Hitler, the US is able to obscure the broader political context of the given crisis and whitewash its direct role in causing it – allowing the West to maintain the fiction that it uses its military power for justice.
Raising their banner high: fascism, imperialism, and anti-communism at the Capitol Hill riots
The flags of U.S. client states, anti-communist regimes, and pre-revolution puppet states dotted the sea of MAGA hats and Confederate flags at the Capitol Hill mobs. Making sense of why requires understanding the convergence between imperialism abroad and fascism at home.
From Eritrea to Bolivia: who supported the Washington backed coup?
To be a revolutionary Eritrean in the diaspora demands one not be associated with the Washington State Department or uncritically support Isaias Afewerki.

Why the US tent cities are concentration camps for children
For centuries, children have been used as pawns by governments seeking to control their parents or their leaders. And children have been forcibly relocated in the United States before.

Approaching the ‘Entertainment State’
The US state has a long history of meddling in film and television, reaching back as far as the early 1900s and stemming from every branch of its secret services and military.
