Weimar’s Lesson: It’s the Violence, Not the Speech

March 5, 2025
Jeffrey Rudolph
( Detailed Political Quizzes ) – As comparisons between contemporary American politics and the rise of the Nazi Party are frequently invoked in the media, it’s crucial to draw one specific lesson from the history of Weimar Germany, the democratic state that existed from 1918 to 1933. The rise of Hitler and the Nazis was not the result of Weimar’s failure to punish hate speech. Instead, it was the futile attempt to suppress such speech while not acting effectively to curb political violence that allowed the Nazis to rise and gain power.

در مورد رئیس جمهور جدید آمریکا، دانالد ترامپ، و سیاست‌های او در این مدت کوتاه از ریاست جمهوری‌اش سخنان بسیاری گفته شده و روش سیاسی‌ او مورد تجزیه و تحلیل بسیاری قرار گرفته شده است. سیاست کلی‌ او در جهت سیاست‌های جمهوری‌خواهان، یعنی‌ قدرت کمتر دولت‌ها و قدرت مالی بیشتر برای بخش خصوصی، بوده و خواهد بود. ولی‌ آنچه که متفاوت است، رفتار افسار گسیخته و دیکتاتور مآبانهٔ اوست، که با کُنش‌های منتخبینِ سلفِ او بسیار متفاوت است.ا

NY Times Continues To Show Extreme Bias in Gaza Coverage

March 4, 2025
Richard Hardigan
The United States government has been the primary enabler of the genocide perpetrated by the Israeli war machine against the Palestinian people of Gaza. It has provided essentially unlimited military support and diplomatic cover since October 7, and an important factor in allowing that to occur has been the role played by the mainstream media, whose coverage of Israel-Palestine has been so biased and misleading that it has kept many Americans ignorant about the meaning of the events in the Middle East.

(The Conversation) – The war in Gaza has come with an awful cost. Tens of thousands of Palestinian civilians have been killed, and thousands more are missing. And while a temporary ceasefire has allowed for increased aid delivery, easing the plight of those facing disease and hunger, experts predict malnutrition and health issues to persist for months or even years.

A Cruel Hoax: the Political Economy of Anti-immigration

February 28, 2025
Richard D. Wolff
Deporting immigrants may deliver electoral wins to politicians if voters have been sufficiently cultivated by years of demonizing and scapegoating them. For its victims, the cruelties involved are horrific. Yet such deportation makes little sense economically. It represents a nationally self-destructive program based on a faulty grasp of immigration economics. What once “made America great” (at least for the majority white population) were its successive waves of immigrants. What underscored the American economy’s strength was its ability to absorb and integrate those waves despite frictions among them: a genuinely productive melting pot. My American schooling through my PhD stressed such points.
