Challenging the Duopoly
Ralph Nader
Voter turnout in the U.S. continues to plunge. The conventional explanation for the lack of interest is that the citizenry is apathetic. They’d rather be watching Who Wants To Be A Millionaire. A more radical analysis is that people are fed up with choices like Clinton-Dole or Gore-Bush. Many see them as guys in suits […]

Single Payer Health Care
Bernie Sanders
The health care debate is in full swing. The statistics are well known. Tens of millions of Americans have no coverage at all; many more have huge gaps in their benefits. The Clintons crisscross the country promoting their managed competition plan. Others offer varying counterproposals. One alternative is the Canadian model. Canada has a single […]
Privatizing War
Rania Masri
Naomi Klein, the noted Canadian journalist and author says, Iraq is open for business. She’s not kidding. Private contractors are making a killing. And the taxpayers are shelling out the bucks. A significant portion of the $18 billion budgeted for reconstruction in Iraq is going to such firms as Dyncorp, Blackwater and Northbridge who provide […]
The Media & War
Tariq Ali
When the U.S. marches to war, the media march with it. The din of collateral language rises to cacophonous levels. The mobilization and ubiquity of present and past high-ranking military officers on the airwaves is an essential component of manufacturing consent for war. Perhaps we need no-air zones for them. That’s unlikely to happen when […]
History Is Not Over
Christopher Hitchens
Hitchens at his analytical best. In brilliant fashion he cuts and dices Francis Fukuyama’s end of history thesis. He also comments on the future of socialism and states, ” I am a Luxembergian” and adds, “Socialism is more relevant now than it ever has been. I’m not hesitant to say that.” Recorded at Georgetown University.
Public Broadcasting: Past, Present & Future
Robert McChesney
In 1967 the Carnegie Commission Report, the founding document for public broadcasting, stated unambiguously that the U.S. should have a non-commercial TV and radio system offering programming that serves as “a forum for debate and controversy” and “provide[s] a voice for groups in the community that may otherwise be unheard.” That same year, Congress passed […]
U.S. Mideast Policy: Motives and Consequences
Noam Chomsky
Chomsky examines the roots and underlying impulses that inform, guide and direct U.S. policies in the Middle East. Within the regional context, he focuses on U.S. relations with Iran and Israel. He explores the background of the Iran/contra scandal and documents that secret arms shipments were going to Iran via Israel since the early 1980s. […]

Women’s Power
Vandana Shiva
Vandana Shiva talks about the central role of women in resistance struggles in India and throughout the Third World. She says, “On the other side of India in Orissa there was a movement. The women’s slogan is, soil is our goddess, it’s our religion.” She adds, “A new steel plant is coming up. This really […]
Co-ops: Economic Democracy
Nathan Schneider
One day, a few years ago, I was walking in San Francisco’s Mission district and looked up and saw a sign that said: “Arizmendi Bakery. Worker owned and operated.” This piqued my curiosity. I went inside to find out more. I learned that Arizmendi was the name of the priest who, in the 1950s, help […]
