The United States Govt's decision to allow the Turkish invasion of Northern Syria, also known by the Kurdish name Rojava, will be a disaster for peace built in the region by the feminist and socialist revolutionary forces which liberated the area from ISIS.
BREAKING: In an extraordinary Sunday night statement, the White House announces that the US "will no longer be in the immediate area" of Northern Syria, allow Turkey to launch an invasion in the region and give Turkey responsibility for captured ISIS fighters in the area.

We could sustainably feed, house and clothe the world five times over.
Overpopulation arguments ignore the elephant in the room, which is unequal distribution and consumption of resources.
The earth can support billions, but not billionaires.
This tweet made the rounds on our Facebook page and prompted both good and bad faith skepticism, so it might be helpful to explain in briefly why overpopulation arguments are bunk, and completely antithetical to socialism.

Post-scarcity economics are not dependent on a hi-tech sci-fi future.
We could provide for everyone with today's tech.
We could have provided for everyone with 1960's tech.
We could have provided for everyone with 1900's tech.
It is our political system which is obsolete.
Every single person that dies because of homelessness, illness, or starvation because they didn't have the funds were murdered by the status quo. We could easily provide adequate food water shelter and clothing to every single person on earth with the resources we currently have.

Cherán in Mexico runs itself anarchistically, returning to long-suppressed indigenous modes of government that turn the town into a democracy of assemblies.
None of Mexico’s cartels or highly corrupt political parties is present. Police have been replaced by community patrols.
This Mexican town kicked out the politicians and declared autonomy. Now it's practically crime-free – and banning elections and political parties to keep it that way.
