The left is dead. Its ailments cannot be cured. The only way to resurrect what was once valuable in leftist politics is to declare the left dead and begin from the beginning again. Winlow and Hall identify the root causes of its maladies, describe how new cultural obsessions displaced core unifying principles and explore the yawning chasm that now separates the left from the working class.

In Republican Jesus, Tony Keddie explains not only where this right-wing Christ came from and what he stands for, but also why this version of Jesus is a fraud. By restoring Republicans’ cherry-picked gospel texts to their original literary and historical contexts, Keddie dismantles the biblical basis for Republican positions on hot-button issues like Big Government, taxation, abortion, immigration, and climate change.

¿Por quién votarán los mexicanos en 2024: por los viejos políticos que intentan rejuvenecer su imagen y discurso, por la continuidad del obradorismo, o por un proyecto completamente distinto que prometa reiniciar el curso social y político de nuestro país? Para muchos, la permanencia de Morena pareciera ser una promesa cumplida; Claudia Sheinbaum sería la primera presidenta de esta nación, Marcelo Ebrard consumaría una carrera política construida con récords y bomberazos, y Adán Augusto López resultaría una sorpresa calculada.

El tránsito del expresidente Sebastián Piñera Echenique por la política y los negocios puede ser narrado como una historia de conflictos.

Between 2013 and 2022, Tony Abbott begat Malcolm Turnbull, who begat Scott Morrison. For nine long years, Australia was governed by a succession of Coalition governments rocked by instability and bloodletting, and consumed with prosecuting climate and culture wars while neglecting policy. By the end, among his detractors—and there were plenty—Morrison was seen as the worst prime minister since Billy McMahon. Morrison failed to accept the mantle of national leadership, or to deal adequately with the challenges of natural disasters and the COVID-19 pandemic.

Wenn jetzt nicht etwas Grundlegendes geschieht, dann war's das mit der Freiheit. Und nicht die Angriffe ihrer Gegner werden ihr den Garaus machen - die Gleichgültigkeit derer, die sie so lange genossen, wird es tun. Pandemien, Weltkrieg, Klimanotstand: Die Freiheit schwebt in höchster Gefahr. "Freiheitsgesäusel"? "Mehr Diktatur wagen"? Was ist kaputt in den Herzen und Köpfen der vielen, dass sie sich selbst und ihre Freiheit so geringschätzen, ja regelrecht verachten? Warum stimmen sie ihrer eigenen Entrechtung zu und scheinen in ihre Ketten geradezu verliebt.

Agents of Influence reveals the secret history of an intelligence agency gone out of control, accountable to no one but itself and intent on subverting Western politics on a near-inconceivable scale. In 1985, 1,300 KGB officers were stationed in the USA. The FBI only had 350 counter-intelligence officers. Since the early days of the Cold War, the KGB seduced parliamentarians and diplomats, infiltrated the highest echelons of the Civil Service, and planted fake news in papers across the world.

Der Klimawandel zerstört Lebensräume und Existenzgrundlagen vieler Menschen. Doch oft zeigen sich Regierungen unwillig, etwas dagegen zu unternehmen, und Firmen halten profitgetrieben an ihren überkommenen Geschäftsmodellen fest, die die Klimakrise weiter verschärfen. Was, so fragt man sich, lässt sich dagegen tun? Die medienbekannte Rechtsanwältin und Klimaaktivistin Roda Verheyen sagt klar und bestimmt: klagen.

¿Votamos por lealtad a un partido o decidimos qué políticas nos convienen más? ¿La política es cada vez más tribal o siempre ha sido así? ¿Nos decantamos por el candidato que más nos gusta o votamos en contra del que detestamos?

Alan Dershowitz has been called “one of the most prominent and consistent defenders of civil liberties in America” by Politico and “the nation’s most peripatetic civil liberties lawyer and one of its most distinguished defenders of individual rights” by Newsweek. Get Trump makes clear that unconstitutional efforts to stop Trump from retaking the presidency challenge the very foundations of our liberty: due process, right to counsel, and free speech.

American politics today can be defined by the intense and increasingly toxic divide between Democrats and Republicans. Matthew D. Luttig explores why so many Americans have endorsed this level of political conflict.

On New Year's Eve 2019, Rafael Behr had what is clinically known as a massive bloody heart attack. In part, it was the result of his compulsive relationship with politics, working as a journalist in Westminster, on the front line of bitter information wars. When he was discharged from hospital, he asked himself how he would ever re-engage with politics—how would he care enough to write about it—without the stress? Something had to change. In 2021, Rafael published an essay about that experience and some of the lessons he had learned.

"Wir meinen es ernst, dass wir wirklich um unser Überleben kämpfen auf diesem Planeten." Lina Eichler, Henning Jeschke – Mitstreiter*innen der Letzten Generation– und Unterstützer Jörg Alt beschreiben in ihrem gemeinsamen Buch, wie ihnen deutlich wurde, dass sie ihr Leben in die Waagschale werfen müssen, um für einen sofortigen, wirksamen Klima-Schutz zu kämpfen. Warum für sie ziviler Ungehorsam und Widerstand der einzige Weg ist, um auszudrücken: Es ist noch nicht zu spät, wenn wir jetzt die radikale Wende schaffen.

Cancel culture is an insidious force in society today.

Have we entered an era when people cannot make mistakes; where no apology or change of heart can ever deliver forgiveness? In The Cancel Culture Curse, global crisis manager Evan Nierman and his colleague Mark Sachs examine the impact of cancel culture in today’s media-driven world.

Speaking to academics, experts and grassroots organizers from TUC, UNISON, ACORN, IWGB and more, Eve Livingston explores how young workers are organizing to demand fair workplaces, and reimagines what an inclusive union movement that represents us all might look like.

This book is a ride through Oregon’s swamp, dirty lobbyists, corrupt media, push polls, pseudo patriots who really aid the left, a voting infrastructure built for fraud, voter apathy—and yet, also some of the best, salt-of-the-Earth fighters a person will ever be lucky enough to meet.

Iraq will continue to be a major issue and involvement for the United States into the foreseeable future says William R. Polk, former member of the State Department’s Policy Planning Council and professor of Middle Eastern history at the University of Chicago.
