New open access article on the reactions to the Moon Landing in Italy, Germany and Britain! What they tell us about the relationship of social democrats, communists and new left with science? Was it a step back for faith in progress and the activist state? tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

@lionel_trolling Many Northern European liberals and Italian fascists in the 1920s converged to agree that democracy was fine for the Nordic climate, unsuited for Latin people. This irritated Italian antifascists like Nenni and Salvemini immensely

@lionel_trolling The Anglo-American bookstore in Rome was such an amazing place! I used to go there all the time to buy English books. I have still some fondness for Bezos, because buying English book online was life-changing for me. Now the AAB has closed doors. It was inevitable, but still sad

@lionel_trolling @ProgIntl 1914: The Second International splits over social patriotism
1939: The Third International approves Molotov-Von Ribbentrop and the partition of Poland
2026: The Progressive International embraces theocratic authoritarianism
It's difficult not to think something went wrong

Oh my god, I didn't think @ProgIntl was *this* bad

Literally joke-theorising "ACAB, except in Iran"

@STS_News Interesting. I have argued that the New Left’s criticism of the Apollo programme — whitey on the moon — contributed to the neoliberal discourse that the state always waste taxpayers’ money tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…
