I can’t believe how ahead of their skis everyone in the commentariat got on an Iran peace deal. You can’t extrapolate from a tweet at this point—it’s not credible. You all should know better

“A capitalism based on speculation, rents, and asset inflation 1) positions most of us as surplus labor, and 2) needs primitive accumulation to keep hoarding wealth while growth declines and unemployment grows..giving rise to repressive capital.” open.substack.com/pub/undiplomat…
