The Enlightenment is the mother of Jacobinism and the grandmother of communism, libertarianism, and a few other utopian movements. ...

All Health Is Public Health
Terrace, PopularResistance.Org - 16 hours ago
For decades, we have been sold a myth of private health. It is a myth that our health is largely a product of individual choices and personal responsibilities. It is a myth that our healthcare is a service which private corporations can provide, and for which we must pay to survive. But the Covid-19 pandemic has blown up this myth. Our personal health cannot be separated from the health of our neighbors or our planet. Nor can it be separated from the structural factors and policy decisions that have determined our health outcomes long before we are born. The post All Health Is Pub...
Well, that didn’t take long
Stephen Kimber, Halifax Examiner - 16 hours ago
Well, that didn’t take long. From the smiling selfie of our future-facing face of generational change and environmental salvation to the big reveal only a mini-month later that the shiny new was just one more in a long line of old-style pols in the welcoming embrace of all the usual corporate interests. Phew. Quick indeed. […]
This Dead Russian Submarine Is Leaking Plutonium (and Is Armed with Nuclear Weapons)
Sebastien Roblin, The National Interest - 14 hours ago
*Sebastien Roblin* *military, Europe* [image: Cold War History] This new kind of submarine was innovative and helped the Soviet Navy learn much (but it came at a price). *Key point: *Soviet submarines were very advanced, including being faster and in some cases better armored. However, not every submarine design fully works out and some lessons are learned the tragic way. From a Western perspective, Soviet engineers seemed to approach their Cold War submarine as if they were high-performance jet fighters meant to out-slug, out-run and out-dive their adversaries in a swirling dogf...
A Clash of Civilizations with Chinese Characteristics
Wesley Jefferies, The National Interest - 14 hours ago
*Wesley Jefferies* *China, Asia* A civilizational struggle of the “rest” versus the West articulated by Mao Zedong and embraced by Xi Jinping is at the very core of the ideological foundations of the grand strategy of the Chinese Communist Party. The attempt to understand the emerging rivalry between China and the United States has born numerous historical analogies that have included the Cold War, the Great Game, the tensions in Europe prior to the First World War, and the so-called Thucydides Trap. The central problem of these analogies that they all refer to competition betwee...
EMP: The Super Weapon North Korea Could Use to Win a War?
Matthew Gault, The National Interest - 14 hours ago
*Matthew Gault* *Nuclear Weapons, Asia* [image: Nuclear Weapons] EMPs sound terrifying and they certainly light up the imagination; but they are not as dangerous as actual nuclear weapons themselves. *Key point: *EMPs could maybe take out some of the electric grid, but the impact is wildly unknown. In fact, even during the Cold War the impact of EMPs as a not-well-studied byproduct of nuclear tests was incredibly varied. Few weapons are as scary as those that exist only in our minds. A few years ago when the Republican Party released its platform to the public in the run-up to i...
Nazi Germany vs. the World: 6 Best World War II Submachine Guns

*Peter Suciu* *World War II Submachine Guns, * The submachine gun was developed during the First World War, and Germany's MG18 is largely recognized as the first successful example of the new class of weapon.

You're So Dead: 3 Deadliest Sniper Rifles in the U.S. Military
Caleb Larson, The National Interest - 15 hours ago
*Caleb Larson* *Sniper Rifle, * These three rifles are a mix of brand-new and Cold War-era designs — but don’t let age fool you. Despite one of the designs being nearly 60 years old, it remains deadly on today’s battlefields. Here's why.

China's Navy: Now More Powerful Than the U.S. Navy?
Peter Suciu, The National Interest - 15 hours ago
*Peter Suciu* *China Navy, Asia* Last week three Chinese People's Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) vessels, including the first-class Type 055 (Renhai-class) large guided-missile destroyer Nanchang sailed through the Tsushima Strait towards the Sea of Japan. This marks the first time that the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force (JMSDF) has spotted a Type 055 destroyer.

What if the Air Force’s Next Stealth Plane Could Heal Itself?
Kris Osborn, The National Interest - 15 hours ago
*Kris Osborn* *U.S. Air Force, Americas* [image: U.S. Air Force] Regenerating armor or stealth coating sounds like something from the Borg in Star Trek, but who knows what new technologies the future holds. *Key point: *More and more recent advances in military technology sounds like something out of science fiction. The question if whether new discoveries can be used at scale and at a reasonable cost. A stealthy, supersonic, semi-autonomous sixth-generation fighter maneuvers undetected through heavily armed enemy air space, evades radar detection to jam the adversaries command ...
Bodies from the U.S. Civil War are Still Being Found
Warfare History Network, The National Interest - 15 hours ago
*Warfare History Network* *History, Americas* During the September 17, 1862 battle, casualties piled almost too high to count. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *So many soldiers of both sides died during the Battle of Antietam; casualties were sometimes buried hastily in shallow graves and never moved to formal cemeteries. As recently as 2009, the remains of soldiers who were interred on the field, their final resting places forgotten, have been rediscovered. During the September 17, 1862 Battle of Antietam, casualties piled almost too high to count. The culmination of the fir...

10 Years Ago the U.S. Navy Surfaced 3 Nuclear Submarines to Scare China
David Axe, The National Interest - 15 hours ago
*David Axe* *U.S. Navy, Asia* Implied or stated threats are a rountine part of how militaries conduct their operations and it is no different from sending nuclear missile submarines out to sea. *Key point: *America has the most powerful nuclear missile submarines in the world. Here is how surfacing three at the same time is a potent way to make a point. Nuclear powers rarely go to war with each other, but that doesn’t mean they don’t *threaten* to do so. Indeed, military posturing is an integral part of what Forrest Morgan, an analyst for the RAND Corporation, called “crisis st...

You're Dead: 5 Most Powerful Tanks of All-Time
Kyle Mizokami, The National Interest - 15 hours ago
*Kyle Mizokami* *Technology, Middle East* The collapse of the Soviet Union and the shift to terrorism have placed tank forces on the back burner. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *Challenger 2 is considered one of the best-protected tanks in the world, equipped with second-generation Chobham Armor, a composite matrix of ceramic and metal with superior qualities over typical steel-rolled homogeneous armor. The result is tank armor capable of defeating both kinetic energy and high-explosive anti-tank rounds. The world of the tank—an armored fighting vehicle equipped with a large ...
Israel: The Not-So-Secret Nuclear Weapon Superpower?
Kyle Mizokami, The National Interest - 15 hours ago
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, Israel* Nuclear weapons are the ultimate form of insurance for such a small state. *Key Point:* The country will likely not declare itself a nuclear power any time soon; ambiguity over ownership of nukes has served the country very well. In a private email leaked to the public in September of 2016, former secretary of state and retired U.S. Army general Colin Powell alluded to Israel having an arsenal of “200 nuclear weapons.” While this number appears to be an exaggeration, there is no doubt that Israel does have a small but powerful nuclear stockpile...
Tempest: The Mysterious 6th Generation Stealth Fighter Britain Wants
Sebastien Roblin, The National Interest - 15 hours ago
*Sebastien Roblin* *Tempest Stealth Fighter, Europe* Tempest is being developed in partnership with Italy and Sweden with service entry targeted at 2035-2040. And that is not all when it comes to major changes to the UK's air force and military. Last Monday, the United Kingdom’s Ministry of Defense presented a Command Paper to Parliament outlining plans to radically transform the British military in the 2020s. Alongside significant cuts and reorganization of the Army (described in a companion article), the white paper described a much slimmer but modestly modernized Royal Air ...
Is This the Reason So Many People Have Cancer?
Kyle Mizokami, The National Interest - 15 hours ago
*Kyle Mizokami* *Nuclear Weapons Testing, Russia* [image: YouTube Screenshot.] The USSR conducted 715 nuclear tests over four decades, including a test of the massive Tsar Bomba. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *Like the United States, the Soviet Union’s military and civilian population also suffered from nuclear testing. The Soviet Union exploded its first atomic bomb in 1949, just four years after the United States. Like the United States, the USSR conducted an aggressive testing schedule throughout the Cold War, ultimately conducting 715 nuclear tests over a period of forty...
Why Does Endometriosis Have to Be So Painful?
Annalise Weckesser, The National Interest - 15 hours ago
*Annalise Weckesser* *Public Health, World* [image: Public Health] Unforunately, this painful condition has not been well understood or prioritized for medical reasearch and treatment. Around 1.5 million women in the UK suffer from endometriosis, a painful and debilitating condition that can affect every aspect of a person’s life. The condition causes tissue similar to the lining of the womb to grow elsewhere – including in the ovaries and fallopian tubes – and can result in severe pelvic or period pain. Treatments for endometriosis include painkillers, hormone medicines and con...
RIP Aardvark: Why the Military Retired the Lauded F-111 Plane
Charlie Gao, The National Interest - 15 hours ago
*Charlie Gao* *Security, United States* Did the Air Force err in removing the Aardvark from service? *Here's What You Need to Remember: *While shorter ranged aircraft are far cheaper to maintain and use, the F-111 struck a weird medium between the tactical strike aircraft and the strategic bomber. That medium allowed it to serve admirably during the Cold War, and the design should not be discounted as a weird compromise. The F-111 Aardvark was the U.S. Air Force’s premier strike aircraft for the majority of the Cold War. It served in practically every conflict from Vietnam forwa...
