The problem isn’t that movements like No Kings lack politics. It’s that no organization exists capable of mediating their contradictions into a coherent political force.
J. Ryder and P.K. Gandakin write on how the CPUSA’s “Communist Plus” earnestly attempts to resolve this—but ends up reproducing the very limits it seeks to overcome.
Nik M. on the 2024 election, Keynes's "animal spirits," and the technocratic instinct that treats voters as neutral receptors of macroeconomic data. The right understood ideology was inseparable from economics. The left still mostly doesn't.
Marx refused to describe communism. P. K. Gandakin on why that refusal keeps getting misread — by utopians as a failure of nerve, by objectivists as doctrinal fidelity — and why both readings kill the real movement.
A gunman at the Hilton, a war in Iran, a casual remark about "taking Cuba." Trump's empire is improvising. J. Ryder on the fracture inside MAGA — and why the language of anti-war dissent is being claimed by Tucker and Fuentes while the left watches.
Netanyahu got cancer, treated it, and hid it for two months for war propaganda reasons. The Western left can't organize a coherent response to his genocide. Last year, Malekai wrote about the two dead ends the movement keeps walking into.
“MAGA Communism is dead.”
From rally-side interviews to the launch of the “American Communist Party,” Gigi G. explores the arc of a tendency that chased the MAGA base, mistook engagement for organization, and built a “party” that never transcended the internet. No movement, no impact, no mass base—just content, metrics, and a theory that folded the moment it faced the reality of American political conditions. Why did it collapse at the exact moment it claimed history was on its side?
Mamdani won. Now he must act like it. Fire Tisch. Appoint leadership accountable to the people, not the police. Expand civilian oversight. And make clear: the NYPD doesn’t get a veto over democracy.
In Project 2026, written just before Mayor Mamdani’s inauguration, P.K. Gandakin and Nik M. elaborate a program of mayoralty that emphasizes conflict and utilizes the position to its maximum effect to consolidate socialism’s position in New York City.
In Gramsci’s hands, the city is never just the city, and politics is never just policy. In his latest, P. K. Gandakin draws out a method from the Italian's notes on urbanism and the Risorgimento: one that treats Marxism not as a thin doctrine of interests, but as a way of understanding and solving the problems of an entire society.
