About Me
- Robert Paul Wolff
- As I observed in one of my books, in politics I am an anarchist, in religion I am an atheist, and in economics I am a Marxist. I am also, rather more importantly, a husband, a father, a grandfather, and a violist.

Let's spell out what this information means: Trump won the Presidency by what was basically a coup aided by a belligerent foreign power.
A coup against Clinton and a coup against American Democracy.
Raw power. Trump will do or say anything for the hit and rush of raw power.
Trump and truth may alliterate but they appear in different dictionaries, in fact different languages, different universes, not even parallel
I mean, Trump v Clinton, crimes v misdemeanors. Coney had his priorities, did he not?
it seems that Christopher Steele of MI6 is "prematurely anti-fascist" and is being maligned for it.
"Mr Steele is now in hiding, under attack from some Tory MPs for supposedly trying to ruin the chances of Theresa May’s Government building a fruitful relationship with the Trump administration. Some of them accuse him of being part of an anti-Brexit conspiracy. A right-wing tabloid has “outed” him as being a “confirmed socialist” while at university."
But I see now that the marginalization members of the Abraham Lincoln Brigade suffered on return from the Spanish Civil War is now contentious. Perhaps some readers here know the history better than I?
Barry H Levine (levinebar)
With all the furor regarding the possible role played by Russia in releasing DNC and Clinton emails to Wikileaks, it is all too easy to lose track of the fact that the released emails themselves were not fabricated. Hence their release made it possible for voters to be in possession of information important in helping them make an informed decision as to whom to vote for. Without the release of the emails voters would have been in complete ignorance of this information. So, which is preferable, leaked emails and knowledge or no leaked emails and ignorance?
