The GroundUp

A publication of criticism, analysis, culture and politics from the far left. "Enquanto a sectarização é mítica, por isto alienante, a radicalização é crítica, por isto libertadora." -Paulo Freire, Pedagogia do oprimido (1970)

We reject the class of journalism that serves as a mouthpiece of authority figures and celebrates the current order. We do not aim for journalistic “balance” (which does n

ot equal accuracy); we are openly – and proudly – on the radical left. We strive to get to the roots of the problems normally given only a superficial treatment, and we believe that this necessitates a radical political position. This posture does not mean that we toe a dogmatic ideological line or that we do not welcome meaningful debate. On the contrary, we envision this publication as a place to exchange ideas. The GroundUp invites submissions from anyone in the community on any topic.
