I don’t find anything positive in Trump’s ostensible foreign policy of isolationism and America First. We need a new foreign policy for sure, but not one that disengages from the rest of the world. What Trump is doing now makes the world more, not less dangerous. His withdrawal of troops from Syria not only gave a green light to Turkish aggression against the Kurdish people, but also could easily give way tomorrow to some crazy U.S. military adventure.

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.
