NEW YORK CITY – Kaissereich , the mod to HOI IV, one of Paradox ’s hit games that explores World War II, is a cultural symbol for one, ephemeral, yet uniquely countercultural man, woman, or non-binary person: the teenage dirtbag. As a currently 18 year old owner I of capital, anti-capitalist, let me explain the contradictions of this uniquely online group of gamers who are almost totally Gen-Z, and spent the large chunk of their adolescence largely in the throes of the corona

Parthenon in Athens, Greece, Creative Commons (This was an adapted Seminar essay for St. John's College in Santa Fe, NM) SANTA FE, NM — There is a question which has been sitting with this author since it was first posed in Seminar some time ago.

Mr. Zohran Mamdani has notably won the democratic primary to be mayor of New York and seems likely to win the general election. Yesterday, another Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) member, Omar Fateh, won the local Democratic party endorsement over the incumbent mayor. With success like this, it shouldn't be surprising that as of Ma

This essay began as an essay for a college English class, and has been adapted to be suitable for publication on The Radical Times NEW YORK - When the Founders of our country began the fight for independence from King George’s tyranny, they did not know concretely what they were fighting for ,only what they were fighting against. This lack of a unified goal beyond freedom from the oppressive yoke of the far-away British Government allowed for colonists to claim different thin

(NEW YORK, NY) – T.M. Scanlon wrote What We Owe to Each Other over two decades, very much exemplifying the Contractualist ethics that he outlines in the aforementioned book, taking elements of great Social Contract theorists like Rousseau and deontological thinkers like Immanuel Kant, forming his own type of that which, he calls (as I do) “Contractualism.” A philosophy of moral ethics that is fundamentally grounded in the rules of social engagement and engagement with the out
