The most famous anti-Stalinist party was Catalan. The guy who killed Trotsky was Catalan. Frantz Fanon's mentor? Catalan. The only foreign official in North Korea? Catalan. Some claim that Engels knew a bit of Catalan. We are behind every leftist tendency.

remembering my 101 film theory class and the instructor saying "the idea that you would ever see anything revolutionary in the confines of a narrative movie in a for-profit cinema should strike you as so ridiculous it's offensive" and students started cryin talking about pixar

Does anyone know any good books about Nasser and post-Nasser Egypt? Especially but not only on political economy

@jasonachristian @HelenYaffe You'll love it! Helen was my PhD supervisor and this book is the main reason why I came to Glasgow to study. I attended one of her presentations over Zoom (Covid times...) and immediately sent her a cold email.

@LarryAlbertGil Fawaz Gerges Making The Arab World is unbeatable. Nasser's Blessed Movement is a classic. Soldiers, Spies, and, Statements is a mixed bag

@LarryAlbertGil I would maybe recommend starting with the works of Adam Hanieh (prior to his Crude Capitalism). But in general there's much more scholarship on Marxism in the region than Marxist scholarship on the region.

@Lauan_al Looks great, thanks! Broadening the question: any other good Marxist books on the MENA region? I'm curious!

@LarryAlbertGil Fawaz Gerges' Making the Arab World on Nasser (though polit-econ is rarely touched on). In Takriti / Safieddine "Arab Socialism" you'll find some good stuff on it (chapter, not a book)

@dcruzf Al final potser no és l'Urtasun, però com va dir un savi, educaré els meus fills perquè es mengin els seus per pijo.

@LarryAlbertGil Cap interés en fer aquest paper, però m’obligues… Crec que no ha estat ni el ministeri de Cultura ni el “ministre dels Comuns”. Estic segur que, després de fer la recerca necessària, si el teu tuit no es correspon a la realitat, ho esborraràs o matisaràs.

Movistar está bloqueando Anna's Archive y ponen este cartelito para que nos enfademos con el ministerio de cultura. Se les olvida mencionar el pequeño detalle de que ha sido decisión propia pues en el resto de operadoras es totalmente accesible al dominio .gl Sin comentarios🙃

My copies of The Coffin of Honey have arrived! It's moving to see these in person as real things after all this time. And I can't get over how lovely a job Natalie Olsen did with the cover and design.

@jasonachristian I knew that once you reached a certain amount of followers this app became unusable due to how people tend to behave, but I didn't know that threshold was so low. On the other hand, as you say, that bit is such a beautiful and helpful aspect.

@LarryAlbertGil I had nearly 5,000 followers before my account was deleted, and I used it for recommendations all the time. Now I have just over 700 followers and feel like I barely have any reach. I do love that aspect of social media though: resource sharing.

Probably the only pleasant thing about having gained a certain amount of followers on here is that I can ask "does anyone have any recs on X topic" and people do answer. That's cool.
