The Revolutionary Soul Capitalism hollowed out our humanity. Socialism can restore it.

“The soul of revolution is nothing mystical; it’s the rediscovery of what we’ve always been capable of: cooperation, compassion, creation.”

New essay: The Soul of Revolution

Let me know what you think!

Roosevelt, Kennedy, Vanderbilt, Carnegie, Rockefeller, Morgan, Ford.

Those families have been in power much longer than the Castros and have not liberated a fly.

Til Debt Do Us Part Toward Abolishing Debt and the System That Depends on It

Debt isn’t just numbers on a balance sheet. It’s a leash: on individuals, on nations, on the future itself. Credit disguises control as opportunity, and freedom as obligation.

If we want liberation, we have to confront how debt is weaponized against us.

A Mamdani type candidate would win the next US election in a landslide, but the Democrats will work harder to prevent that than the Republicans. That's the sad truth.

Capitalism doesn’t just exploit workers, it colonizes our imagination. We’re trained to think freedom is choosing between two brands of the same thing, rather than imagining a world where we don’t have to buy survival.

Strength as Liberation

Strength as Liberation Why Physical Fitness is Revolutionary for the Body, Mind, and Society

Strength is not found in conquest, but in liberation. A body made strong for struggle. A class made strong in unity. A people strong enough to abolish exploitation.

Every collapse of a society begins with the ruling class convincing people that the present order is eternal.

Nothing is eternal. Not feudalism, not slavery, not capitalism. Everything ends.

The only question is: did the old society get replaced by a better one?

What’s more dangerous: a government that openly calls itself authoritarian, or one that insists it’s “free” while ruling through prisons, racism, police, propaganda, and debt?

The Myth of Choice Capitalism's favorite illusion

50 cereals. 1,000 sneakers. Dozens of streaming services. Capitalism calls this freedom. But the choices that actually matter, housing, healthcare, work, are rigged. We have been chained by consumerism.

The UN letting Netanyahu speak is a disgrace. A butcher, drenched in Palestinian blood, standing at a podium of “peace.”

Every minute he talks is another insult to the dead in Gaza.

The world doesn’t need his speeches. The world needs him, and everyone else involved, tried for war crimes.

Alienation in 2025 Why we feel so disconnected

Capitalism doesn’t just exploit workers, it disconnects us. Marx called it alienation, and in 2025 it shapes every part of life: work without meaning, rest without freedom, communities without connection.
