As organized labor grapples with the consequences of the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union’s landslide defeat at the Amazon mega-warehouse in Bessemer, Alabama, one potential direction for the labor movement lies in the types of power- and base-building activities of Black worker centers. That African American workers need to amass the power to better their conditions is beyond dispute. The American working class is in serious trouble, and Black workers most particularly. The median net wealth of Black families is just $24,100 (lower than any other racial group in Ameri...

Debt As Colonialism
Terrace, PopularResistance.Org - 12 hours ago
Debt, according to standard economic assumptions, emerges from a purely private exchange. Independent rational agents willingly enter into a contract in a free market. That market, in turn, sets a fair price for the debt. Freedom and fairness: these are the assumptions that underpin the common narrative about debt and indebtedness. This essay sets out to explode these assumptions. Contrary to the common narrative, the massive dollar-denominated debts in the Global South did not arise from private exchange in a regulatory vacuum.

*Caleb Larson* *Air Force, * The United States is rapidly expanding its Pacific presence at a time when tensions with China are rising. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *Currently, the United States has a large military presence on Guam, (geographically part of the Mariana Islands, but administratively separate), including a brand-new Marine Corps base named Camp Blaz.

To Stop Stalin, America Turned a Blind Eye to Germany’s Former Nazis
Michael Peck, The National Interest - 13 hours ago
*Michael Peck* *Cold War, Germany, Europe* In 1949, some 2,000 former officers of the SS and the Wehrmacht formed a secret paramilitary army that might have numbered as many as 40,000 fighters in the event of war. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *The *“Werewolves” *were supposed to strike terror in the hearts of Germany’s enemies.
