  • Political analysis from a working-class perspective
  • Cultural criticism and media analysis
  • Local and regional issues often ignored by mainstream media
  • International affairs through an anti-imperialist lens

What Is a Tankie—and Why You Don’t Want to Be One

What Is a Tankie—and Why You Don’t Want to Be One On authoritarianism, anti-imperialism, and the betrayal of socialist principles In leftist discourse, few terms carry as much heat as “tankie.” It’s hurled in online arguments, whispered in organizing meetings, and increasingly invoked to describe a certain strain of pro-authoritarian “leftism” that defends dictators under the banner of anti-imperialism. But the term isn’t just internet slang. It has a precise historical origin—and a political meaning that every socialist should understand. “Maximum Tankie” by Red & Black Salamander (9mmballpoint.blogspot.com). Used under CC BY-NC-ND 4.0. The Origin of the Term The word “tankie” emerged in 1956, when Soviet tanks rolled into Budapest to crush the Hungarian Revolution—a popular uprising of workers and students demanding democratic socialism. Members of the Communist Party of Great Britain who defended this violent suppression were derisively ...

The Emperor’s New Magnets

The Emperor’s New Magnets Trump’s wet physics and the theater of power Aboard the USS George Washington this week, Donald Trump—rambling incoherently—revived a claim he first made at an Iowa rally in January 2024: that water disables magnets. “Give me a glass of water,” he said then, “drop it on the magnets—that’s the end of the magnets.” Now, he’s using that same myth to argue that U.S. aircraft carriers should abandon electromagnetic catapults and elevators in favor of steam and hydraulics. Never mind that the Navy’s Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System (EMALS) operates flawlessly in rain, salt spray, and full oceanic conditions. Never mind that magnets do not stop working when wet —a fact confirmed by centuries of physics and every refrigerator on Earth. This isn’t a gaffe. It’s a worldview. Desi Lydic eviscerates Trump’s “wet magnets” claim on The Daily Show (November 2025). “Do You F–k With Magnets?” On Tuesday’s Daily Show , hos...

Debunking the Myths: Zohran Mamdani, Setting the Record Straight on NYC's New Mayor

Debunking the Myths: Zohran Mamdani and the Fog of New York Setting the record straight on NYC's new mayor Zohran Mamdani at the Resist Fascism Rally in Bryant Park, October 27, 2024 Photo by Bingjiefu He – CC BY-SA 4.0 On November 4, 2025, New York City made history. Zohran Kwame Mamdani—a 34-year-old democratic socialist, state assemblyman, and the son of Ugandan and Indian parents—was elected as the 111th mayor of the nation's largest city. He is its first Muslim, first South Asian, and youngest mayor in over a century. His campaign, powered by a grassroots movement and a platform focused on radical affordability, successfully toppled the political establishment, first in the Democratic primary against former Governor Andrew Cuomo, and then in the general election. Naturally, such a seismic shift was met not with sober analysis, but with a tidal wave of bad-faith attacks, Islamophobic conspiracy theories, and outright lies. The fog o...
