The individual and the Marxist view of history (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It’s easy to feel powerless as individuals. Everywhere we look, society tells us that there’s nothing we can do to change the world. It can seem like the world is governed by malevolent forces beyond our control or understanding. But history is made by people, and a cursory glance at history shows that individuals can play a giant role at certain points. The problem is not that we’re powerless; it’s that we don’t understand the relationship between our efforts and the great forces that govern th
The Russian Revolution: Ten days that shook the world (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Russian Revolution was the greatest event in history. Lenin, Trotsky, and the rest of the Bolsheviks led the working class to take power and hold it for the first time in history.

Now, governments are trying to claw away the few protections Indigenous people have, in the interests of
Will Alberta Separate? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In October, Alberta will vote on whether or not to have a binding referendum on separating from Canada. Separatists have latched on to the idea that the Federal government is impeding Alberta’s prosperity, after years of the UCP making these same arguments. Danielle Smith wanted to leverage western alienation against the federal government, but now that the movement has evolved, she is like a sorcerer who’s lost control of her spells. After the victory of Brexit, Meloni, and Trump (twice), the l
