The fact is that this election is being conducted not for drafting of the new constitution. Instead the election is to goad the country towards party less system and also is being held or will be held at the cost of national sovereignty. That is why I would say that the entire process of the election is nothing more than a drama. This election will not be held. We will not allow it to happen. For months now, the coup…Read More +

Sanitation " the proper treatment and/or disposal of urine and excrement" could be considered "the most important medical milestone" in modern history according to the British Medical Journal. Yet for at least 2.5 billion people, more than a third of the world's people, this most basic human need is unmet. Most cases of diarrhea are caused by water and food contaminated by faeces, and this disease kills 1,800 children every day. "If 90 school buses filled with kindergardeners were to crash…Read More +

by Nat Winn Maoist dialectics assert that all that exists is contradiction. Where every thing that exists contains within it both unity and struggle, it is struggle that is the driving force of dialectics and that lays the basis for transformation. Dialectics is not a drive to some final unified process (the unity of subject and object for example). On Life Activity as essence of being humanI've thought a lot about a recent comment by Eve Mitchell where she says:Read More +

Last year, Fire on the Mountain called on the grayer heads to revisit the days when Ohio National Guardsmen shot dead four of us on Kent State campus. Here is my small piece of that much larger picture. By Mike Ely (Kasama Project) May 1970. Forty years have passed. It is history now in the eyes of the world.

Today the Obama administration's FBI added black liberation fighter Assata Shakur to its list of "Most Wanted Terrorists." They doubled the million-dollar price on her head; and she becomes the first woman on the list. Fortunately Assata Shakur is living free in Cuba after being liberated from a federal penitentiary in 1979, but it's clear her life is in mortal danger. Labeling Shakur a "terrorist" is a declaration of war against all dissenters and revolutionaries, and sets her up for…Read More +

By Mike Ely During 1885 a circular passed hand to hand through the ranks of the proletariat in the United States. With the following words it called for class-wide action on May 1, 1886: “One day of revolt – not rest! A day not ordained by the bragging spokesmen of institutions holding the world of labor in bondage. A day on which labor makes its own laws and has the power to execute them! All without the consent or approval of…Read More +

Gaza: Don't Turn Away

As Israeli troops and tanks invade Gaza yet again -- on a murderous "search and destroy" mission against resistors, we urge everyone reading this to join the global outcry against thee continuing atrocities.
The basic fact defining this war is that a Western-backed settler state has been imposed upon the middle east -- one that is tied by a thousand threads to imperialist financial, military and strategic interests. And, as a direct result of this imposition, the Palestinian people have been first driven from their own land, Palestine, and consigned to the bitterest margins of life -- in a series of refugee camps, then formalized ghetto enclaves, then the militarized bantustan of the West Bank, and the horrific besieged madness of encircled Gaza.
The Palestinian cries for justice and their refusal to accept defeat deserve tireless political support around the world.
The follow photos are hard to see, but are necessary to pass on for exactly this reason.
This is what the people of Gaza are enduring... right now. And more.
the photos were suggested by Ka Frank and posted on the Palestinian mothers blog.

Kasama is a communist project for the forcible overthrow and transformation of all existing social conditions. We are open to learning, unafraid to admit our own uncertainties. We will not shrink from what we do know: the solutions cannot be found within the current world order or the choices it provides. We are for revolution. We seek to find the forms of organization and action for the people most dispossessed by this system to free themselves and all humanity.
To take this road, we need a fearless, open-eyed debate, discussion and engagement. We need fresh analyses of the rapid changes shaping the world around us. We need to sum up a century of revolutionary strategies and attempts, victories and defeats – instead of the conventional wisdom and facile verdicts that paralyze our movements. We need to re-imagine a radical politics that can take life among people and move mountains.
