The danger of this moment is an escalation of the current war against Iran. The argument heard in the media is that Trump botched the war against Iran and the subsequent negotiations. As a result the Iranians still have nuclear material and capability, the cease fire has failed, and, above all, the Strait of Homuz is still closed. And only, so goes the the argument, a resumption and escalation of the war can clean up the mess that Trump created and left behind.

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.
