The Cold War from the Ground Up: Empire, Espionage and Global Power | Countercurrents (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Chicago: Haymarket Books, 2026 ISBN:9798888905029 Alfred W McCoy has written an extremely powerful book, giving us a new look at the Cold War: he convincingly argues that the primary focus should shift from the Washington, DC-Moscow axis, which has consumed so much attention over the years, to look at the impact on the countries and the peoples in which events really took place. Getting to read a book like this is a joy, for this man is an exemplary scholar and wonderful writer and truth-teller,
Developing Social Theory to Change the World: Empirical Evidence Against Structural-based Models of Society | Countercurrents (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In September 2025, I published a two-part article, “Challenging Marxism and Identity Politics” (see Scipes, 2025a, b).

Johnson Reviewed by Kim Scipes Adam Johnson’s new book, How to Sell a Genocide, is going to piss off a lot of liberals, and especially Democrats. In a full-blown attack on the liberal end of the mass media for contributing to the killing of tens of thousands of Palestinians and the destruction of Gaza—foregoing an attack on low-hanging fruit from the right wing, like Fox “News,”—he establishes unequivocally the
