AI Is No Joke: What Next | Countercurrents (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Bernie Sanders has recently taken up AI issues but I have a feeling most leftists are skeptical of AI’s critics, not particularly knowledgeable about its features, and overall, not too interested in it. AI exists. We hear about it. We know it matters. We worry about jobs. We work to stop data centers. What about stopping AI itself? Consider a hypothetical thought experiment. You sit in a room. There is a toggle switch on the table you face. It has just three positions. Position one, is that AI c
Classical Marxism As Beacon or Barrier? | Countercurrents (opens the original)
Read excerpt
[This essay is part of a series of essays by Michael Albert which critiques Classical Left Ideologies and their value, meaning, and relevance in the context of today’s Left and the struggle for a better world. The full series can be found here.] This article was conceived and written back in the early 1970s and excerpted from a book published in 1974, What Is To Be Undone. This article in the sequence of similarly excerpted articles indicates criticisms I had of Marxist theory as I encountered i
Listen Leninist | Countercurrents (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Having recently presented Classical Marxist theory, then Leninist strategy, and last time Bolshevik practice, this essay moves on to critically assess Leninist strategy as the next step toward assessing Marxist Leninist Ideology as a whole. Most of this article, like others in this series, was conceived and written back in the early 1970s and excerpted from a book I published in 1974. This piece, titled Listen Leninist, indicates criticisms I had of Leninist strategy as I encountered it back the
Trump Is The Anti-Christ, Our Resistance Is The Antidote—What Next? | Countercurrents (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Outside theology, the term “Antichrist” has a broader, more secular, and highly descriptive sense. It names a powerful, grossly malevolent person who persistently parades wealth and preens perverse tastes, who is bad to the bone, who is the polar opposite of “good.” A person like, say, Adolf Hitler as he fostered and rode the NAZI tide. Or nowadays, a person like Donald Trump, as he resurrects and rides a neo-NAZI tide. You might reply: “Big deal. So what? Trump is a buffoon. He’s a moron. There
A Critique of Bolshevik Practice | Countercurrents (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Most of this article, like the prior related ones, was conceived and written back in the early 1970s and excerpted from a book I published in 1974. The last two presented Classical Marxism and Leninism as used by activists as I encountered them back then (and as they are used now, too), and this one moves on to assess Marxist Leninist practice in the Russian Revolution as a step toward assessing not only that practice but also the underlying Marxist Leninist ideology. Why do that? Because the le
