Notes on Trump/MAGA 2024

Matthew N Lyons

Even more than in the past, Trump and the MAGA movement have brought key elements of fascist politics into the Republican Party, and a second Trump presidency is likely to be significantly more authoritarian than the first one.

Anti-Zionist Reflections on Zionism and the American Jewish Community

Three Way Fight

1 comment

To uphold the idea that Jewishness is equivalent to Zionism in a world where a large chunk of younger Jews no longer identify with Zionism and oppose the inhumanity of Israel’s rule over Palestinians, you have to silence all of the Jews who disagree with you.

Genealogies of Anti-Fascism Book Review

We are excited to see this new collection of writings from D.Z. Shaw, Genealogies of Antifascism: Militancy, Critique and the Three Way Fight. This book puts together material found on the Three Way Fight site as well as new unpublished pieces. This book, along with Three Way Fight: Revolutionary Politics and Antifascism, while different in scope and content, should be seen as complimentary with the intent on deepening analysis, discussion and debate within the militant antifascist and anti-capitalist movements.

Global crisis. Political and social uncertainty. War, repression, death and displacement. The ruling classes struggling to maintain their systems legitimacy. The rise of popular far-right and radically reactionary movements asserting themselves electorally and in the streets. And yet, the world over, people see that the only way towards a better future built on dignity, justice and freedom is to organize and fight back. Here’s some contributions to our movements from our movements.

Trump’s Gospel: A Review of Jeff Sharlet’s The Undertow

Three Way Fight

No comments

So much has been already said about Donald J. Trump, Trumpism, and the amorphous mass known as his “base” that it hardly seems worth revisiting the topic almost eight years after his fateful descent down Trump Tower’s golden excavator. Just as the 2016 election seemed to confirm everything that virtually everyone had already been saying about US politics for years, so too does Donald Trump today seem self-explanatory.

SHUT IT DOWN! Mass mobilization for Palestine cancels the first day of the 2024 California State Legislature

Xtn Alexander

No comments

For Palestine, hundreds of people took over the California State Capitol on January 3, 2024. The first day of the state’s legislature for the new year, or should we say, the attempted first day. The takeover forced the cancellation of the legislature’s session.
