Parenting For Progress: Reflections On Matt Ross’S Captain Fantastic, Bryant W. Sculos
Parenting For Progress: Reflections On Matt Ross’S Captain Fantastic, Bryant W. Sculos
Class, Race and Corporate Power
Matt Ross's film Captain Fantastic explores the difficulties of raising one's kids to be critical of modern capitalistic society. This essay explores the parenting lessons that can be taken from the film in connection with contemporary politics and protest movements. As people who are concerned with social justice, this essay attempts to think through the question: how should we be raising our children in these tormented, unjust times?
Trump’S Ponzi Scheme Victory, Ronald W. Cox
Trump’S Ponzi Scheme Victory, Ronald W. Cox
Class, Race and Corporate Power
Donald Trump campaigned as an economic nationalist but has surrounded himself with a transnational corporate transition team that supports policies of neoliberal capitalism. These include tax breaks for the rich and for corporations, further privatization of public services, deregulation and the reduction of the social safety net. Trump used the rhetoric of an "anti-politician" to conceal his real policy agenda, and appealed directly to sections of the white working class that rejected Hillary Clinton's corporate centrism.
Black Lives Matter Or, How To Think Like An Anarchist, Joaquin A. Pedroso
Black Lives Matter Or, How To Think Like An Anarchist, Joaquin A. Pedroso
Class, Race and Corporate Power
Since February of 2012 a social movement clamoring for racial justice took the country by storm. Black Lives Matter (BLM) evolved into a movement and a diffuse network of social justice activists who have worked tirelessly to both reform the inherently discriminatory and abusive police practices endemic to the American justice system and sought to build alternative forms of community that would immediately improve the lives of black people in America. Members of the conservative establishment have called out Black Lives matter as being "anarchist" in nature. Indeed, these conservative critics are right in more ways than one. BLM approaches …
My Students Are Terrified: Teaching In The Days After Trump, Bryant W. Sculos
My Students Are Terrified: Teaching In The Days After Trump, Bryant W. Sculos
Class, Race and Corporate Power
After the election of Donald Trump, politically-engaged teaching has taken on a new importance--and difficulty. We don't know what Trump's presidency will mean in terms of policy, but we do know what that presidency already stands for: bigotry, exclusion, hate, and injustice. This short piece is an autoethnography of the author's initial experience teaching shortly after Trump's victory and his thoughts on how we should proceed politically, inside and outside the classroom.
Us Foreign Policy, Business Ngos And Low-Intensity Democracy, Ronald W. Cox
Us Foreign Policy, Business Ngos And Low-Intensity Democracy, Ronald W. Cox
Class, Race and Corporate Power
U.S. intervention in developing countries has routinely enlisted the assistance of corporate NGOs whose activities in civil society are often an extension of U.S. policy objectives. The pattern of collaboration between the U.S. government and NGOs has included electoral intervention, destabilization campaigns, and support for pro-U.S. governing coalitions. The U.S.-NGO relationship has also been used to legitimize elections in highly militarized environments where conflict between opposing interests undermines democratic accountability.

Capital Revenge: Ideologiekritik And The Revenant, Bryant W. Sculos
Capital Revenge: Ideologiekritik And The Revenant, Bryant W. Sculos
Class, Race and Corporate Power
Though superficially The Revenant is an expertly written, acted, and directed new age Western about one man's wild quest for revenge. It is all of those things to be sure, but this critical review essay goes deeper and explores the ideological dimensions of the film, arguing that the film's main antagonist is actually a capitalistic hero representing the mindless application of the endless drive for profit and wealth. Furthermore, this essay concludes with the dialectical assertion that it is precisely because of the audience's situatedness within the ideological confines of capitalism that they are able to view the antagonist as …
Another Politics (Book Review), Chris Hardnack Phd
Another Politics (Book Review), Chris Hardnack Phd
Class, Race and Corporate Power
What are the main political articulations of today's radical movements in North America? In a review of Chris Dixon's Another Politics these questions are addressed in terms of the influence of anti-racist, feminism, anarchism, and prison abolition movements, and how a new form of radical leftists politics is emerging across the continent.
Marx At The Gold Coast: Reflections On Teaching And The Confrontation With Ideology, Allan Ardill
Marx At The Gold Coast: Reflections On Teaching And The Confrontation With Ideology, Allan Ardill
Class, Race and Corporate Power
This article engages with Marx in Miami and the strategies and pedagogical experiences of teaching Marx and Marxism. It relates the experience of teaching Marxism in a compulsory law course at the Gold Coast, Australia. Marx rarely makes an appearance in law schools and this poses particular challenges when it is taught to politically conservative students. Therefore the article supplies a case for teaching Marx arguing why it is not just appropriate for lawyers but irresponsible to exclude it.
Religion And Class, Joerg Rieger
Religion And Class, Joerg Rieger
Class, Race and Corporate Power
While analyses of gender, ethnicity, and race have become widely accepted and are put to use in religious and theological studies, this is not the case with the notion of class. Despite the fact that race, gender, and class are often mentioned together, there is very little sustained reflection on class. Reflections on race and gender in religious and theological studies, while addressing issues of power, rarely include reflections on class. In the rare cases when class is addressed, especially in the United States, it is connected to notions of poverty, social stratification, or income differentials, which are insufficient at …
The Political Economy Of A Transnational Elite In The [Persian] Gulf Cooperation Council (Gcc), Seyed Ahmad Mirtaheri
The Political Economy Of A Transnational Elite In The [Persian] Gulf Cooperation Council (Gcc), Seyed Ahmad Mirtaheri
Class, Race and Corporate Power
Transnational elites are sometimes considered a dominant political and economic force in shaping the global economy. Their impact, however, may differ from one region to another. This article analyzes the transnational elites in the [Persian] Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) in order to determine the regional and global significance of their political and economic power. Three factors are important in this regard. The first is the significant role played by petrodollars controlled by the GCC’s transnational elite. The second factor is the visible participation of the Western educational system in the GCC. The third factor is the presence of a transnational …
