While we need critical thinking to effectively question and challenge illegitimate authority? and to wisely select the best strategies and tactics to defeat the elite ? critical thinking can reveal some ugly truths about reality, which can result in defeatism. Thus, critical thinker? must also think critically about their defeatism, and realize that it can cripple the will and destroy motivation, thus perpetuating the status quo. William James (1842-1910), the psychologist, philosopher, and occasional political activist (member of the Anti-Imperialist League who, during the Spanish-American War, said, "God damn the LTS for its vile conduct in the Philippine Isles!") had a history of pessimism and severe depression, which helped fuel some of his greatest wisdom on how to overcome immobil...

According to this view, the administration would likely wait at least until after the midterm elections, if not until a second Obama term, before moving on the matter for fear that the political fallout would hurt the electoral prospects of Democrats. [...] in a number of ways the biggest obstacles to reform, especially of the progressive variety, are to be found in the political mainstream, in the Democratically controlled Congress, and in the Obama White House itself. According to the restrictionist Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR), Obama voted seven times in line with FAIR's position during the 110th Congress (2007-09), out of a total of 15 such opportunities, while not casting a vote on four of them. Since assuming the presidency, Obama has offered few specifics ...

THE CASE AGAINST U.S. INTERVENTIONISM IN Bolivia was first made by Jeremy Bigwood, an investigative journalist who, through requests made under the Freedom of Information Act, revealed a pattern of intent by U.S. Embassy officials and democracy promotion agencies to undermine the MAS as early as 2001 (even USAID's reports in the public domain regularly refer to the MAS as "anti-systemic").2 The work of Eva Golinger and Jean-Guy Allard further documented the attempt by USAID's Office of Transition Initiatives (OTI) to undermine the MAS as it made its way toward state power through a new phase in the agency's decentralization program.3 To be sure, the OTI program provided support to both MAS and opposition prefects. According to Quintana, in the aftermath of the political crisis that led...
