What explains the callousness and indifference that Trump and his cronies display toward the disproportionate loss of Black and Brown lives in this pandemic? Or to the endless plague of cold blooded murders of young African American men at the hands of white vigilantes?
Is it out of ignorance? By no means. The short answer is to be found in the poverty of their moral core and the utterly reactionary, white nationalist politics they embrace and practice.

I'm a long-time socialist and activist, but new to the blogging world. I hope to bring a different perspective on politics, sports, culture, and Marxism. Besides blogging, I also leave plenty of time for swimming, hiking, ESPN, music, reading, drinking good beer, and, not least, my family and friends. I wish I could play basketball, but my knees ruled out that possibility long ago.
While I currently reside in New York, my politically formative years were spent in Portland, Me. and Detroit during the 1970s and 1980s. I graduated from St. Francis Xavier University in Nova Scotia (where I played basketball) and received a MA in economics from the University of Connecticut.
I was the national chairperson of the Communist Party, USA from 2000 until 2014 when I stepped down at the convention. In 2016 I resigned from the Communist Party two years later. We were no longer on the same page.
