Our Manifesto for Social Democracy envisions a future built on solidarity, equality, and real democracy.

It's time to reclaim both democracy and socialism. There is no democracy without social justice.

Maia Barkaia’s brilliant article about Georgia’s historical and present struggle for freedom and experimentation with democracy. A well-argumented response to ‘neutrality’ demands amid existential struggle on the imperial borders. @sakindmaya

Uzbek and Turkmen carpet merchants in the ancient city of Andkhoy, Faryab Province, Afghanistan, 1978.

These vibrant handmade Turkic carpets have been rated the best in the world. Amazingly, Andkhoy's carpet market looks the same today.
