The United States of America is a Failed State

The United States of America, the so-called, ‘Land of the Free’. The idea of America being ‘great’ is nothing more than a facade, in reality, it is a dystopia. The country which proclaims to be better than the rest, in actuality, has a tremendous amount of catching up to do…

The Entertainment Propaganda Machine

Hollywood, video games, even music, are used to propagate a doctrine that favours US domination. — Propaganda is something we in the West often associate with Nazi Germany and the likes of Joseph Goebbels or even that of the Soviet Union — often incorrectly equating the USSR to the Nazi regime in the process. But, what if I were to tell you we currently live in…

The Illusion of the “Free” and “Objective” Press

From corporate owners to self-censorship, the press does not operate freely but rather propagates the interests of the ruling class — Terms such as “post-truth” have been thrown around recently as have other phrases like “fake news” which give the impression that these issues are a recent phenomenon. This could not be further from the truth. …

The Stealing of the Chagos Islands

How the UK forced out Chagossians, took over, and leased their prize to the US — While decolonisation was occurring in the post-WW2 world this zeitgeist did not apply to the Chagossians who in 1968 saw their homes and land occupied by the British, at the request of the US, and the forming of a new territory (which is doublespeak for colony) with the islanders, forcibly…

Karl Marx and Depression?

How Marx predicted that alienation and depression would be rampant under capitalism — Depression within our society is widespread, in the United States for example, “diagnoses of major depression have risen dramatically by 33 percent since 2013”. Throughout the globe, the level of depression has also seen a rise of 18.4% between 2005 and 2015, with the pandemic evidently making things much worse.

The American Dystopia

If the U.S. were another country the military would have invaded by now — The United States, as we all know, has had quite a tumultuous couple of years. But it does not appear to be getting any better, in many ways, it is actually getting worse. Joe Biden is President and Liberals are over the moon, yet the material conditions for the majority…

Australia’s Stolen Generations

A glimpse of Australia’s genocide against the region’s indigenous population. — The story of the Stolen Generation is one of hardship, trauma, forced displacement, ethnic and cultural cleansing.

Your iPhone was made with Public Money

Private capital did not make the technology in your iPhone, your money did. — In an age of neo-liberalism, where we are told that innovation only occurs because a brave capitalist takes a dive into the abyss and emerges with new technologies and that this is the only way in which innovation happens, is broadcasted as truth. …

A Black Communist Republic, in the United States?

The Black Belt Republic and the Soviet Unions’ plan for racial egalitarianism in the U.S. — The battle between Communism and Capitalism led to many crazy endeavours, be it Reagan’s “Star Wars Program” — that aimed to use lasers shot from outer space as a missile defence system — or the psychochemical warfare overlapping with mind-control research, giving rise to projects like MK Ultra. …
