It’s the Next America

The source of the new energy taking over the Democratic Party isn’t Democratic Socialism. It’s something far more exciting! In one of the most notable upsets of the Democratic primaries so far, Democratic Socialist Melat Kiros, 29, yesterday won the nomination over incumbent Rep. Diana DeGette to represent Colorado’s hotly-contested First Congressional District. I expect […]

The U.S. Will Not Automatically Renew its Trade Agreement With Mexico and Canada

The very USMCA that Trump praised in 2020 is now no longer satisfactory to him. The United States–Mexico–Canada Agreement (USMCA) replaced NAFTA in 2020. At the time, Trump hailed the new deal as a major achievement. However, in 2026, when the agreement came up for its scheduled 16-year review and possible extension, the second Trump […]

Is JD Vance More Dangerous Than Trump?

The putative presidential candidate is even more skilled at demagoguery. JD Vance said on Friday that the U.S. wins “either way” in negotiations with Iran. “If we make the final deal, then great,” Vance told HBO’s Bill Maher. “If we don’t make the final deal, their nuclear program is still destroyed. They’re still much weaker […]

Modern Relevance of Dostoevsky

Dostoevsky sets the events of his Brothers Karamazov in the style of Greek Tragedy. At least the events concerning Fyodor Karamazov, the father of all Karamazov’s brothers. Throughout the novel, Fyodor is on the collision course. All he does is challenging invisible hand of justice, pushing further and further into moral black hole. He rapes […]

The End of the Strikes: Why Trade Unions Must Become Professional Development Corporations

For a century and a half, the image of a trade union has been inextricably linked to that of struggle. Red flags, strikes, wage-indexation negotiations, and ironclad protection against layoffs. This toolkit was created for the industrial era, where humans operated machines. Today, this model is not only bursting at the seams — it is […]

You’re Not Alone, and You’re Not Crazy

A brief conversation on the way to breakfast. Someone I didn’t know approached me early this morning on my way to breakfast. He looked about 60 years old, with dark hair graying at the temples. He was dressed in a tie and jacket. He asked me if I was Robert Reich. I admitted to it. […]

Grand Inquisitor for Europe

Why is EU leadership, the Collective Brussels, is so Much United in its Russophobic Policies? Despite economic and pragmatic interests. Despite shared religious, cultural and historical destinies.

Perennial Relevance of Dostoevsky

What makes Dostoevsky forever relevant is his dialectical approach to the most pressing issues of human predicament. Only in the eyes of the extremely naïve thinkers — doesn’t matter if they come from the right, left or center the issues that face modern day materialistic capitalist societies can be quantified, computerized, and resolved. For the […]

Ralph Fiennes the Master of the “Silent Explosion” Phenomenon

Ralph Fiennes always follows his own rules. Looking at his performance — whether in the Lord’s robes or in a haute couture suit, the viewer inevitably catches a cognitive dissonance. We expect a monster, but we get an abyss of charisma, the “gold standard” of cinematic noir, which is impossible (and, honestly, one does not […]

“Demons”: Film Adaptation or Interpretation?

Film adaptations and interpretations not only have different goals, but also appeal to different audiences. A film adaptation is offered, in a sense, “in place” of the book, a simplified version for those who may never read it; the director here plays an educational role, addressing the ignorant as one who knows, the superior as […]

As a former federal judge who has handed down sentences for serious felonies and aggravated assaults, I view this on-screen trial not as a detective thriller, but as a very gripping legal drama.

I envy those who haven’t watched it, because I want to erase this film from my memory and watch it again. Peter Weir’s “Master and Commander” is not just a battle film.
