[Oxford New Reasoner @OxNewReasoner]

We accept #opinions, #History, #Review and #creative submissions for our #blog to "promote the diversity of opinion necessary for a resilient global radical movement; one that aims for what the original New Reasoner termed “the undogmatic perception of social realities.”

2 World Bank reports only a few yrs apart. In 2022, the Bank draws a cartoonish image of Lebanon as a state of liars. Yet in 2018, just before the collapse, it painted the country as fertile soil for investment. On what basis does World Bank consider itself an arbiter of ethics?

Coups are completely acceptable if they are planned by American officials but enacted in "other places" outside the US

[Natasha Bertrand @NatashaBertrand]

.@jaketapper: "One doesn't have to be brilliant to attempt a coup."
John Bolton: "I disagree with that, as someone who has helped planned coups d'etat—not here, but you know, other places—it takes a lot of work."

[Oxford New Reasoner @OxNewReasoner]

Other "places", not sovereign states, nations or peoples with any kind of right to self-government or determination...

A state that cannot provide water or electricity or even sewage treatment, still has the resources to interrogate and intimidate people over their tweets.

The Marxist historian Eric Hobsbawm was born in Egypt on 9 June 1917. Due to his involvement in the Communist Party of Great Britain, Hobsbawm was considered controversial by many. His work undoubtedly shaped the historiography of the 20th century like no other.

New article by New Reasoner editor Charlie Ough for the Oxford Middle East Review on what the recent election of a record number of independent MPs to the Lebanese parliament means for the movement for political change in the country.

New on the Blog:
"...in spite of the economic crisis and the outward appearance of a fading desire for the overthrow of the government, the demands of the Lebanese “uprising” of 2019 remain very much alive."
