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 […]

Oda Nobunaga: The Unifier Who Changed Japan

Oda Nobunaga is one of the most influential figures in Japanese history. Living during the turbulent Sengoku, or “Warring States,” period, he began the process of unifying Japan after more than a century of civil conflict. Through military innovation, political vision, and bold leadership, Nobunaga transformed the balance of power in Japan and laid the […]

JD’s Strategy Behind His Bloopers, Bungles, and Bonkers Claims

I’ve been watching JD Vance as carefully as anyone can track a snake in the grass, which is to say, with some difficulty. He has seemed uncomfortable with Trump’s grandiose foreign ambitions, especially Trump’s failed war in Iran, but I’ve seen no evidence that JD has spoken out against any of it even inside Trump’s […]

Japanese Home Cooking Is Simple

The simple answer is that traditional Japanese home cooking tends to center around a main protein dish with a few additional vegetable dishes, and is typically eaten steamed with rice, miso soup, and pickles. This is also true for breakfast. The main dish can be fish, chicken, beef, or pork. The Japanese dislike lamb due […]

Why Was Trotsky Killed?

Throughout the 1930s, Trotsky and his supporters waged relentless attacks on the Soviet leadership and the Comintern. The goal of these attacks, regardless of the accusations against Stalin, slogans, and theoretical postulates advanced, was essentially the same: to remove the moderate wing of the Bolshevik Party, led by Stalin, from power in the USSR, transfer […]

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.

Why Bullies Always Fail — as Trump Is Failing

Trump’s might-makes-right lawlessness will be his downfall. If we’re not careful, it will be America’s as well.

They say that 3 or even all 6 million people took to the streets against Trump’s policies. The organizers of the No Kings protest write on their website about an “illegal, catastrophic war” that threatens Americans. “This is America, and power belongs to the people, not to king-puppets or their billionaire buddies,” the statement reads.

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.

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 […]

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.
