Israel is still killing babies in Gaza and it’s barely even a news story.

@WxPolitics15 It’s also not absent in American (middle school) education. It’s very regularly talked about.

I don’t see much radicalness in Shay’s rebellion. It was essentially the forerunner of middle class anti-tax movements in the 70s and 80s
It was a federal crisis bc the Articles made it virtually impossible for the federal government to do anything against riots and rebellions

The scrubbing of Shay’s Rebellion from history textbooks was and is one of the American right’s greatest ever triumphs. Our entire constitutional order was constructed in part as an elite backlash against a bonafide proto-socialist revolution and you don’t even know about it.

@Greynxgga69 I don’t know, I tend to think hunting (or factory farming, which is really what we’re talking about) seems to belong to, say, a brute realm of necessity (animal conditions existence) and would perhaps become antiquated in really human conditions. I say as someone who only really

It’s completely fine for human societies to kill and eat animals. There may be issues with the methods employed to do it, and there are also varied social circumstances which determine the gravity of this, but there’s no inherent moral problem with the practice. I’ll explain why below:

@Lilyslesbian @TreDoes Although ofc I agree that you get freak conversations out of people because we’re all mediated by screens instead of concrete mobilization.
English
@Lilyslesbian @TreDoes I agree, but I don’t really think this is due to a lack of political messaging. The solidarity movement for Palestine is one of the most mainstream solidarity movements, even before 2023. It’s not an obscure topic, like, say, others are.

The BE and FD convo is a perfect example of that terminally online leftist shit being alienating asf, just insanely socially maladjusted and feeling like you can talk to people any way

@materialcritic I’m clueless when it comes to Hegel but I’m fairly sure Adorno speaks to this in Introduction to Dialectics. Now whether Rose had access to that, I have no idea.

Someone should conduct a serious study on why and how Third World “elite” understanding of developmentalism shifted from crude and populist imitations of Stalin era Five-Year Plans to mind bogglingly stupid fantasies of becoming the 50th Dubai, Singapore or El Salvador

Good piece on the new investment law in Syria. Unfortunately, those in charge of designing the economy are basically 'Gulfbrained', think + want Syria to become some kind of tax-free investor destination like Dubai. Fundamentally unserious.

@totalnewbie1 Americans genuinely have such an over-inflated sense of self-importance, it’s so funny

Good lord. A bunch of millennials decided they were socialists in 2015 because they got nice feelings from Bernie and freaked out over Trump becoming President. Then they decided that nobody before them had ever thought about getting free stuff or winning elections.

To expand on this, America’s socialist movement really started from scratch in 2015. I can’t think of a single socialist movement historically that acquired power in less than 11 years. It’s typically taken *decades* of struggle—usually in more oppressive environments, but still.

currently my favorite books of fiction are Ulysses, Brothers Karamazov, The Books of Jacob, Aliss at the Fire, and the Complete Stories of Lispector. I’m hoping to add Bolaño with this.

there’s a reason for Marx’s view that we are in the “pre-history of humanity,” or Adorno vis a vis the universal and the particular. capital produces human universality in perverted form, via universal dehumanization. call it whatever, negative dialectics, speculative truth, etc.
Jojoenthusiast 🇵🇸@Jojos17thvilain
Is there a middle ground between Marxist humanism and anti humanist Marxism? Cuz I wanna be whatever that is

"If in keeping with Hegel's insight all feeling related to an aesthetic object has an accidental aspect, usually that of psychological projection, then what the work demands from its beholder is knowledge, and indeed, knowledge that does justice to it: The work wants its truth>

@LaithLKC They don’t, there’s probably individual communists in his audience. But the most he ever does to approach the topic is cheap signals, usually glorifying China as a tourist. He mostly just tails mainstream media discourse and Democratic Party revivalism.

Markets are not some floating neutral mechanism that can simply be detached from capitalism. Generalized market exchange means production is mediated through value, competition, and accumulation. Those dynamics generate class divisions. Once production is carried out through…

it would be any easier to get ICE and CBP to do the same,…
In the current configuration of social conflict, wherein the tide of the ICE flood is rising in all locations but its sharpest moments are geographically separated, partisans face this dilemma.”

“ICE and CBP unions have grown as a political force — albeit with inter-agency friction — from 2008 onwards … they will hardly relinquish their long-awaited license to terrorize. It was tough enough for Trump to get ..the January 6th putschists to go home; there is no indication
