Freedom, in whatever form it comes in. You're living off the labour of a repressed underclass. Death to the Infant Death Force. Kasu+Bestie. Bandung 1955.

There are predictable complicated capitalist contradictions especially around employment and labour within oppressive frameworks but working for warlords doesn't count as ambiguous or subject to interpretation. You can simply choose not to facilitate wars and genocide.

Watching the LinkedIn battle after someone posted that they're working as an intern in the ethics department at Lockheed Martin has been the best part of my day. I'm learning that people believe that working for a war and weapons manufacturer is just like any other job 💀

You need to tell this story properly. South Africa did not have a "self-developed" nuclear programme. The apartheid government built up its nuclear capabilities with the close help of a very specific ally...
maGolid' aseSummit.@MabuthoDubazana

South Africa had a self developed nuclear program but the then government dismantled it before the ANC government. Documents were destroyed, including those that showed which property the Gov owned (land). About R26b-300b went missing from the Gov before 1994 elections.

There are some writers that need to be read with a caveat that they sit within a wider body of work and their work needs being read alongside other work and critiques. I've listened to a video based on Mbiti's concept of time and it direly needed that.

We need to be able to join the dots between domestic violence and state violence.The state not only oversees violence but also enables it. Police are teargassing and brutalising women protesting against violence against them on #HumanRightsDay2024 #EndFemicideKe

When I advocate for seed sovereignty in Kenya, this example from Nigeria illustrates it perfectly. Communities must always control,breed,share,sell and exchange their indigenous seeds. Indigenous seeds have been tested and tried through generations and our climate.
Slim@onu_slim

Let me tell you how it happened. Nigeria’s ginger export hit zero from N26 billion within 3 years. The official story blames fungal blight. But here is what actually happened. When Nigerian farmers lost their indigenous seed supply, grant-aided interventions arrived with replacement seeds. An associate professor at Lagos Business School flagged publicly that some of those interventions involved GMO organisms that weakened indigenous crops and compromised soil health. That is not a conspiracy theory because it is a documented academic concern. Now that Nigeria spoke got destroyed by the GMO seedlings….what is not the result? Nigeria was forced to import ginger from China to fill domestic demand. Chinese ginger has none of the pungency, oleoresin content, or quality that made Nigerian ginger a global premium product. And the ginger now sitting in Nigerian markets tastes like wood because it essentially is wood. The two indigenous varieties that built Nigeria’s global ginger reputation, the Tafin Giwa and Yatsun Biri, had decades of soil relationship and quality built into them. Once the soil was degraded and those seed varieties were displaced, the product that returned was a pale imitation. Nigeria did not just lose a market. It lost a seed. And without a National Ginger Seed Bank, which nobody has built, it may never fully get it back.

If the president can order diesel price reduction by fiat, then what exactly is the EPRA formula and what is the function of the EPRA in price determination?

With Etims KRA wants to be the one to determine what a business expenses is. Now they also want to decide for you what your dividend is and what you should do with it. KRA doesn't think It's your money. You are just holding it for them.
Moe@moneyacademyKE

KRA will now tax companies on some of their retained profits. If a company does not pay out at least 60% of its profits as dividends, KRA will treat part of the remaining profit as “deemed dividends” and tax it, under finance bill 2026.

We're looking at transforming our country from a post-colonial economy into an island city state economy with no analysis of the material conditions that got them there, the cost and the sovereignty abdication required.

The US-Singapore relationship is driven by three primary material conditions: 1. Singapore's control over the Strait of Malacca which processes 25% of global trade 2. Supply chain dependency-because of advanced manufacturing and finance 3. Mutually beneficial defence agreements

Singapore's rapid economic transformation was catalysed by American investment, technology transfer, and open markets which America was open to for their own material benefit, as they always do.
