Opinion: Weaponizing Abraham Lincoln's 'Labor' Speech
A long-ignored digression during his first address to Congress, demands discussion and reflection on Labor Day. Few Americans know what friendly terms Pesident Lincoln and Karl Marx were on as contemporaries. While they never met in person, they had read each other's writings--even indirectly exchanging correspondence. There may be no more apt occasion than Labor Day to briefly explore the influence the German philosopher may have had on the Civil War President.

Opinion: Capitalism is the Sorcerer's Apprentice
How a stupid argument I had with a nuclear energy enthusiast led me to a not-so-startling realization. Recently, I got into a stupid, pointless argument over atomic energy on LinkedIn. I realized that instead of opposing any particular technology or energy source because of the inherent or real hazard it poses, all I have to point out is howhorribly commerce handles said technology — invariably they'll find some reliably (self) destructive ends for it.

Exploring Socialism in the United States: Understanding the Driving Factors and Societal Responses
The talk surrounding if socialism has found a home in the US has been stirring for some time now. It's a conversation about the emergence of more progressive politicians, intensified economic inequality, and disillusionment with capitalism. Yet, a few dissenting opinions propose that socialist ideologies haven't really taken root in the US, and instead, socialist policies are trivial solutions to already pressing economic and political dilemmas. To thoroughly examine both viewpoints, this essay aims to provide a fair-minded perspective.
Opinion: American Assumptions
When and where you are born determines many of the assumptions you grow up with. For example, there’s a laundry list of things certain (white) people in the United States take for granted. Like many girls of my generation, I grew up simply assuming that one day I would marry a man, have babies, live in a house that we owned and, of course, we would each have our own car. There would be retirement accounts and yearly vacations as well.
