The main fault line in politics today is between the Trump regime and a far flung multi class, peoples coalition challenging that regime. This is the strategic matrix from which everything else — allies and alliances, forms and issues of struggle, demands, etc — flows.
Such a strategy abhors political posturing and narrowly constructed politics, while insisting on sustained initiative, breadth of approach, and tactical flexibility. It is always helpful to remind ourselves that the coalition reststing Trump and the MAGA movement stretches from Angela Davis to Liz Cheney.

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.
