Talk at No Kings Rally, March 28th, 2026
Video of my talk at this rally
Trumpism is conducting a war against the people of the U.S. and globally. It is an authoritarian, bullying playbook that violently oppresses and exploits and dehumanizes immigrants and poor people at home and abroad, takes resources from the global South, and demands total U.S. dominance. Let us connect these domestic and global attacks and build the power to stop them. I will focus on the global.
In each of the following cases, there is a continuity of a bipartisan project of US immoral and illegal intervention, and new more blatant and murderous aggression… Against US intervention

Global Justice and Participatory Socialism
We live in a world of obscene economic inequality within and between nations. In this essay, I will address what a participatory socialist society[1] would mean for global justice and equity.
A guiding principle is that the quality of life would be the same within and between societies[2].
A goal is global equity, the same quality of life within and between nations (societies), with diversity of cultures, diversity of what is produced, in the kinship sphere, etc.
There is no moral justification for the quality of life being better because one lives in one society rather than another, it is an accident of birth. Global equity should be a principle of groups and individuals advocating in favor of participatory socialism.,,I am including both the text and the video of my talk. https://znetwork.org/zvideo/global-justice-and-participatory-socialism/
[1] I am using the term, participatory socialist. Many of the authors in this text use the term participatory society. The difference is over terminology, not over the vision.
