Hi all. This is (and will be) a collection of articles from sources/journalists that I believe to be questioning power structures globally and in the US specifically. ¡Viva la revolución!

Hi all

I am making this community as a place for myself to post interesting articles that I believe do a few things:

ONE: Provide insight into the power structures that maintain the current world order

TWO: Offer a unique POV on world affairs

THREE: Align with a "realist" / "materialist" view of political philosophy.

Have fun, be nice, etc.

Houthi attacks are reaching boiling point – but a US-led military response would be a grave error | Mohamad Bazzi (self.realpolitics)

I believe this section explains the commercial/ capitalist forces that are pushing the US and other imperial states towards a broader war in the Middle East: “The Houthi attacks forced many of the world’s largest shipping companies to reroute freighters away from the Red Sea and Suez Canal – a route that shortens the trip between Asia and Europe by thousands of miles. Instead, ships are being detoured around South Africa, which can lengthen a freighter’s journey by several weeks and increase fuel and labour costs. The attacks are also causing economic damage to Israel, whose Eilat port has lost 85% of its shipping activity since the Houthi campaign started.”

Just like Jonathan Swift, the Onion uses satire to expose the absurdity of reality.
