Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. The next post will be on Monday, January 6, 2014.
Visitors are invited to review posts to the blog since July 16, 2013. The goal of the blog is to provide a foundation for understanding structures of colonial and neocolonial domination of the world-system and for understanding the revolutionary movements that have sought to develop alternative structures. The intention is to formulate an understanding of the essential characteristics of revolutionary processes, in order to contribute to the establishment of the subjective conditions necessary for a new popular revolution in the United States.
