Lebanon’s Revolt: Potential Spread of Violence and Bloodshed…
Growing signs that the ongoing revolt in Lebanon, now in its third week, might turn violent following politicization attempts that aim to change the course of the popular uprising against corruption, austerity measures, deteriorating living standards and traditional political hierarchies.

South America, Again, Leads Fight Against Neoliberalism…
The presidential election in Argentina was no less than a game-changer and a graphic lesson for the whole Global South. It pitted, in a nutshell, the people versus neoliberalism. The people won – with new President Alberto Fernandez and former President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner (CFK) as his VP. Neoliberalism was represented by Mauricio Macri: […]
Burn, Neoliberalism, Burn by Pepe Escobar…
Neoliberalism is – literally – burning. And from Ecuador to Chile, South America, once again, is showing the way. Against the vicious, one-size-fits-all IMF austerity prescription, which deploys weapons of mass economic destruction to smash national sovereignty and foster social inequality, South America finally seems poised to reclaim the power to forge its own history.

OPINION: Neoliberalism’s Dark Path to Fascism by Chris Hedges…
Neoliberalism as economic theory was always an absurdity. It had as much validity as past ruling ideologies such as the divine right of kings and fascism’s belief in the Übermensch.

It looks progressive. They couch their proposals in the moral language of caring for the destitute and […]
Neoliberalism Is Destroying Our Democracy by Noam Chomsky…
For 50 years, Noam Chomsky, has been America’s Socrates, our public pest with questions that sting. He speaks not to the city square of Athens but to a vast global village in pain and now, it seems, in danger. The world in trouble today still beats a path to Noam Chomsky’s door, if only because […]
What’s Neoliberalism? And How It’s Killing You!…
Dore explains ‘Neoliberalism’ what the Democratic Party is really all about these days.
