I've started a series on my Substack where I'll be reading Phil A. Neel's new book 'Hellworld: The Human Species and the Planetary Factory' and writing posts about each chapter as I go
The book is an attempt to map the configuration of the capitalist mode of production at a planetary scale...

Every political 'solution' the West proposes is framing 🇵🇸 as Nazis and 🇮🇱 as magnanimously rebuilding a radicalised 🇵🇸 polity.
In reality of course, a solution can only rest on the de-radicalisation of a society which has been told for four generations that they are the superior 'race' in the region.
“This has been the main goal of the US policy against Cuba for more than six decades – to make life as economically difficult, unbearable as possible,” Rodríguez asserted. But imperialism “cannot make us abandon the path of socialism.”

One Battle After Another
damn guess that was the best movie ever made
because I feel like I'm genuinely going to get backlash for liking a movie: as an immigrant family with a newborn at a time when fascist govts and the world at large seem bent on cruelly ripping families like mine apart, I deeply resonated with an underdog story about trying to survive that world
How has he forgotten the Farage Riots that he spent so long covering?
«Se confirma la postura de la administración foral en favor de Valle de Odieta, en contra del interés público y del sector ganadero local en particular. La inacción de las diversas entidades y Gobierno de #Navarra nos ha obligado a ejercer la Acusación Popular para poder defender el medio ambiente».
Never forget whose side the Media is on.
1m+ marched to stop the Genocide in Palestine. They barely covered it.
2m marched to stop Brexit. They barely covered it.
Less than a 1/10th show up for a Far Right Riot, nonstop coverage.
The Far Right thugs are their voters.
Everybody in the UK, whether it is Pro Palestine, Anti-Brexit or Scottish Independence can turn up and have peaceful marches with hundreds of thousands or millions of people and have almost no trouble.
But the Far Right can't.
Steve Bloom ruminates on the meaning and practice of democratic centralism, arguing that respect for minority positions is key to building a truly disciplined revolutionary formation.
Gente como al final el que "martirizo" al Kirk sea al 100% fan de Nick Fuentes esto va a ser increíble, lo digo como una situación tan cómica/trágica "esto último por que si el tipo hubiese sido de color u otras cosas lo que hubiese pasado telita".
Asesinan a un icono de la alt-right y de pronto, quienes se burlaron de la empatía la reclaman. Ese ejercicio de ficción revela algo incómodo: quizá sentir compasión por quien negaba toda compasión sea la única forma real de derrotar su política

MAGA propagandist Charlie Kirk shot in the neck in assassination attempt. In critical condition.
Tensions in the US continue to escalate as the Trump regime and its fascist propaganda networks continue to antagonize the population.
Political violence is as American as apple pie. An armed society, a polarised society, a society with a broken political system and a dangerous clown on his tawdry golden throne, what could possibly go wrong?
If I were on the socialist left, I would simply not argue in large, prominent outlets that Trump's economic policies have positive ecological dimensions.
As disagreements heat up… what sort of new left party do we need? socialistworker.co.uk/labour/as-di...

Adam Tooze blows cold on the term he popularised. on.ft.com/45SdIgK Polycrisis — is this the sequel?
While Donald Trump’s attacks on the Fed are deeply authoritarian, the institution itself is far from blameless.
From the 2008 crash to the pandemic, its primary aim has been to protect the interests of the wealthy.
“Keep feeding this machine & Britain gets a Farage premiership; started it of consent & there’s still a chance to break the spell.”

Nigel Farage is sat in the pub with his mates, some new people walk in.
His mates, "Get those immigrants out of here!"

White House is considering a National Day of Memorial if Donald Trump dies.
Sources say, "Well everyone is going to take the day off and party, so we have to make it look like they are mourning."
