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.

A truly global health system could save more lives than any single humanitarian effort in history.

Capitalism is the racket of the ruling class
Al Capone once said that capitalism is the legitimate racket of the ruling class. He was not joking. He was describing the system exactly as it works. Capitalism does not run on free and fair competition. It runs on organized extraction. The ruling elite takes wealth from the rest of society and calls the process…

The president of the United States commands one of the most concentrated portfolios of power in modern history. The German chancellor, by contrast, operates within a framework built to restrain authority. Both offices lead advanced economies. Both sit at the heart of alliances. Yet only one wields the tools to change the world overnight. The…
