Bill Weinberg

I'm Bill Weinberg, the creator, editor, and chief blogger, ranter and podcaster at CounterVortex.org. I am an award-winning 30-year veteran journalist in the fields of human rights, indigenous peoples, ecology and war. CounterVortex receives no foundation sponsorship and depends on readers and listeners to support our work—100%. Why CounterVortex? The planet is spiraling into a vortex of <a href="http://countervortex.org/taxonomy/term/192" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">ecological collapse</a>, <a href="http://countervortex.org/taxonomy/term/83" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">permanent war</a>, and totalitarianism—whether of the <a href="http://countervortex.org/taxonomy/term/62" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">techno-security state</a> or the <a href="http://countervortex.org/taxonomy/term/88" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">religious and ethnic fundamentalisms</a> that ostensibly oppose it. Through our resistance, we create a counter-vortex, generating movement toward sustainability, <a href="http://countervortex.org/taxonomy/term/170" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">peace</a>, and popular democracy. While we advance a <a href="https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1843/letters/43_09.htm" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">ruthless criticism of all existing reality</a>, this is not an invitation to mere nihilism: in negating the leviathan that is itself negating human freedom and <a href="http://countervortex.org/taxonomy/term/408" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">autonomy</a>, we ultimately seek a <a href="https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1877/anti-duhring/ch11.htm" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">negation of the negation</a>. Join the CounterVortex. Join the resistance.

You are part of the enlightened coterie that keeps my ultra-dissident voice in continuous action and fighting trim.
