“Nuremberg was more than a courtroom drama. For more than 10 months, the Allies not only ensured that some kind of justice was done there. They also contained the populist and radical worldwide atmosphere of anti-fascism immediately after the war, by making justice seen to be done. … Nuremberg, then, amounted to a juridical attack on evil. To its credit, the tribunal recognised the extraordinarily monstrous deeds of the Nazis. To its discredit, and despite its key charge of conspiracy, it tended to convert the historical experience of fascism into a timeless morality play …” (11/20/25)

“The doctrines of socialism have been with us for more than 150 years, but no one had really tried it in a total way until the advent of the Soviet Union from the 1920s to the early 1990s. During that period, a number of communist/socialist revolutions occurred in Asia, Cuba, and Africa, all of which provided a laboratory to observe how these socialist economies would perform. The socialist economies failed spectacularly, as Ludwig von Mises had predicted. … But despite socialism’s many failures as an economic system, it is more popular than ever as a political system.” (11/20/25)

“President Trump is doing something many of his supporters said they wanted him to do: act not like a normal politician but like a businessman, for Americans, as if we were stockholders in a for-profit company. Bring in the dough. Efficiently. … That’s never been the recipe for republican governance and can so easily and quickly devolve into plutocratic socialism-for-the-rich. There’s no shouting ‘limited government’ about what Trump boasts of regarding ‘the deals’ he makes for the U.S. For ‘us.'” (11/20/25)

“Widespread news reports indicate that President Donald Trump’s administration has prepared an executive order to punish states that have passed laws attempting to address harms from artificial intelligence (AI) systems. According to a draft published by news outlets, this order would direct federal agencies to bring legal challenges to state AI regulations that the administration deems ‘onerous,’ to restrict funding to those states that have these laws, and to adopt new federal law that overrides state AI laws. This approach is deeply misguided.” (11/20/25)
“A Nigerian court has sentenced separatist leader Nnamdi Kanu to life in prison after convicting him on seven charges related to ‘terrorism’ in a years-long trial. In his ruling on Thursday, Nigerian Judge James Omotosho said prosecutors proved that Kanu’s broadcasts and orders to his now-banned Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) group incited deadly attacks on security forces and citizens in the southeast. The violence was part of his push for an independent Biafra state for the ethnic Igbo-dominated region.” (11/20/25)
