[ad_1] Photograph by Nathaniel St. Clair Introduction: A Tradition That Forgot Itself I write these essays not as an enemy of the left but as someone who believes it has lost the thread of its own best tradition. That tradition is the democratic socialism of Eduard Bernstein, who tied the classless society to the ballot rather than the barricade, and of Michael Harrington, whose The Other America forced a prosperous country to look at its own poor. That tradition began with a sharp diagnosis. Karl Marx argued that capitalism rests on a class relationship in which those who own the…

[ad_1] Ethan Rundell is a translator, journalist, alumnus of University of California–Berkeley and Paris’s School for Advanced Studies in the Social Sciences. He has translated over a dozen books, as well as scores of academic articles. After several years in France, he now lives in North Carolina, where he co-founded Vauban Books, which specializes in French dissident literature. Mr. Rundell and Vauban Books recently earned headlines after Amazon briefly delisted Vauban’s 2025 English translation of Jean Raspail’s 1973 novel The Camp of the Saints. How did you become the face of The Camp of the Saints in America? How did…

[ad_1] President Gustavo Petro is scrambling to keep Colombia in the hold of the country’s left after voters on Sunday, in the first round of the national elections, sent a sharp message that they are ready to take the country in a new direction. Right-wing populist candidate Abelardo de la Espriella took first place with 43 percent of the vote, a result which Petro declared Sunday “has no binding force.” Petro argued that “hundreds of thousands of votes were added” to the rolls to swing the election, sparking fears among opposition politicians and international observers that the president might attempt…

[ad_1] In his highly-regarded podcast, Judging Freedom, on June 1, Judge Napolitano asked British diplomat Alastair Crooke if the Israelis really cared if the Strait of Hormuz remained closed and the U.S. economy, and by extension the world economy, suffered. Crooke replied that the billionaires who support Israel so strongly have so much wealth that many would regard a recession or even a depression as an “opportunity” to buy farmland and other assets. People of great wealth are not really affected by the higher gas and food prices and other inflation brought on by the U.S./Israeli war against Iran. But…

[ad_1] If you are a fan of European mystery shows, you may have been watching one and had the thought, “Wow, this murder victim had a fantastic apartment”: High ceilings, beautiful natural light, an open floor plan, and a deck facing out over a lovely green space. Unlike apartments in America, which “live like a hotel,” these apartments really look like a place to live. The reason many European apartments, particularly in older buildings, look so different is because they are centered around courtyard blocks. The reasons we don’t have such housing in America are fairly banal, largely due to…

[ad_1] The Man Who Knew Russia: Richard Pipes, Humanist and Cold Warrior Jonathan Daly Stanford University Press,  408 pp. $65.00 In 1985, I invited Richard Pipes to speak at Oberlin College. As chairman of the College Republican club, I hosted a variety of neoconservative and conservative thinkers, ranging from Carl Gershman, who headed a fledgling organization called the National Endowment for Democracy, to William Rusher, the publisher of the National Review. But my biggest, or at least most controversial, catch was Pipes. Pipes was a professor of Russian history at Harvard and a former Reagan administration national security council adviser…
