Capitalist ethics as absurd as contract killing ethics
Capitalism today is often described as free competition, innovation, and opportunity. However, when we look closely, it becomes clear that at the very top it is none of these things. Instead, it is a contest among giants. Super-rich families, their bankers, and multinational corporations dominate the field. They do not simply follow rules like ordinary…

Why we should get rid of royals
The Czech Republic is officially a republic, but many treat the president as if he were a king. People project onto him a ceremonial aura, as though the office itself carried divine or hereditary weight. Citizens expect him to embody the national spirit, deliver moral guidance, and act as a symbol rather than simply a…

What has led to the downfall of the USSR
The collapse of the Soviet Union was one of the most decisive events of the twentieth century. It ended the Cold War, dissolved a superpower, and reshaped the map of Eurasia.

It profits from mating rituals, fear of death, and longing for identity. That is why it works. Capitalism is not separate from…

Commercial vs state inventions
Innovation is not neutral. Behind every breakthrough lies a motive. Sometimes it is profit, sometimes it is power. Sometimes it is simply survival. But one myth prevails: that capitalism drives all progress. That invention flows from competition, not cooperation. That companies build the future while governments waste time. This view is false. Both sectors invent—but…

Nationalize the Vatican’s power and wealth
The Vatican is more than a spiritual institution. It functions as a global empire. For centuries, it has blended religion, politics, finance, and secrecy. It owns land, runs banks, shapes diplomacy, and influences morality. Although it presents itself as sacred, it operates like a state—yet enjoys legal and financial privileges that no other power on…

Why the US is rich, Latin America poor?
Two vast regions. One hemisphere. Both blessed with rich soil, vast forests, and natural resources; both colonized by Europeans. Both fought for independence in the 18th and 19th centuries. And yet, one became a global superpower while the other remains locked in cycles of poverty, corruption, and inequality. Why did the United States soar while…

How freethought is redefining global politics
They say, “We can’t have freedom of speech in Europe. We’re not America.” But how can anything change if we are punished for even saying that? How do we reform injustice if questioning it is illegal? Freethought today is no longer academic. It is revolutionary. Across borders, thinkers challenge systems—not with weapons, but with ideas.…
