The Essence of Today’s Leftism

Commentary When I was a kid in the 1950s, I thought I knew what the left was—and I did, up to a point. The Communist Manifesto appealed to my 14-year-old self because, in a way, it’s written on that level. When you think about it, it’s pretty simplistic, especially about human psychology. Nevertheless, in those…


Barbara Kay: When They Say ‘We’re Coming for Your Children,’ Believe Them

Commentary For years, Canadians have proved amenable to demands for basic rights, but also to entitlements, for those who identify, variously, as “trans,” “non-binary” or “queer.” These entitlements, even those encroaching on women’s rights, are supported by government and most media. They extend into all our cultural, therapeutic, and social institutions. The only domain in…


Young Conservative Group Says Members Attacked in Violent ‘ANTIFA Campaign’

A conservative student group says its members are being violently attacked in the street as part of a “deliberate campaign” by ANTIFA-linked activists. Turning Point UK (TPUK) urged authorities to take action after serious violence broke out at one of its stalls in central London on Saturday. A teenager was left with a “fractured knee,…


Bruce Pardy: The Four Doctrines of the Apocalypse: Critical Theory and Our Compromised Institutions

Commentary The following is an excerpt by Bruce Pardy from “The 1867 Project: Why Canada Should be Cherished—Not Cancelled,” a new book of essays by 20 Canadian critical thinkers edited by Aristotle Foundation president Mark Milke.

The Power of Symbols

Commentary The Australian federal government is proceeding with plans to ban Nazi symbols. That’s fair enough, I suppose, if the ban is confined to just two images—the swastika and the double lightning bolt SS. Such a prohibition might be unwelcome news to a few extremist motorcycle groups, but most of us share a reasoned detestation…


If We Are Banning the Nazi Symbol, Why Not the Hammer and Sickle?

Commentary The Australian federal government is proceeding with plans to ban Nazi symbols. That’s fair enough, I suppose, if the ban is confined to just two images—the swastika and the double lightning bolt SS. Such a prohibition might be unwelcome news to a few extremist motorcycle groups, but most of us share a reasoned detestation…


Marxist Radical a Key Actor Behind ‘The Voice’

A prominent Indigenous activist and advocate of changing Australia’s Constitution has been revealed to have praised communism’s influence in the “struggle” of Aboriginal people, talked about punishing politicians and pushed for Australians to pay reparations to Indigenous Australians. Thomas Mayo (or Mayor) is the national Indigenous officer of the Maritime Union of Australia. He was…


How Marxism Broke Down the Nuclear Family

Commentary Marriage is an institution uniquely apt for the rearing and nourishing of children, an open-ended task calling parents to assume an attitude of love and commitment toward children. Conversely, divorce undermines the family unit and deprives children of an intact biological family. Karl Marx recommended the abolition of marriage in his Communist Manifesto, stating…


China’s ‘New Cultural Mission’ Aims to Spread ‘Communist Totalitarianism,’ Analysts Warn

Chinese state media recently touted Beijing’s “new cultural mission” of creating a “modern version” of China. However, critics told The Epoch Times that the regime aims to spread the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) ideology to the world. In the June 2 meeting titled “Cultural Inheritance and Development,” CCP leader Xi Jinping said that Chinese culture and…


Woke Vocabulary Phrases and Terms That Should Be Debunked

Commentary The woke apparatus has created an entire arbitrary language structure that is built upon a shifting foundation of sand. Let us count the ways at how this partial list of convoluted terms ought to be debunked. First, wokesters utilize “critical race theory” (CRT) to infiltrate our key institutions. CRT evolved out of the Marxist Frankfurt…
