I read the World Socialist Web Site http://www.wsws.org/ daily and find it to be the most insightful commentary on the political undercurrents of society. Instead of looking at the surface of poltical events, it evinces a historical perspective that I can't find anywhere else. It explains the contradictions of the capitalist system and the nation-state, and how the incompatibily of the two leads to a crisis that will lead to either socialism (which is the political and economic control of society by the working class) or else to barbarism, war, massive unemployment, etc., as the ruling class can find no way out of it's contradictions.
Also, it is host to excellent culutral coverage (fanatastic film reviews!)
