Degrowth and family abolition are interersting concepts with things to say but god are they poorly named. Like the fact that even with leftists you have to have "no, degrowth doesn't mean not having more doctors or more development in the global south, it means moving away from having an economy oriented around annualised growth in GDP" and "no, family abolition does not mean no more relationship between parents and kids, it means that people shouldn't be completely dependent on these family relationships for education, food, clothing, guidance, etc" [at least that's how I've been understanding it - this one I've not looked into as much as I ought to have]. And the worst part is is that underneath all this, when you look at the policy implications behind these concepts, it's still the same "there should be decent public services and high taxes on rich people" leftism underneath. So what was the point of all that confusion? Fundamentally I do think it is a problem with getting most our theoretical innovations over the last few years via Verso pulp stocking fillers designed to sound as radical as possible to excite the astute left wing consumer of books activist/academic.

Hello, I am making a post on behalf of Ghada and his family, who are Palestinians trying to survive genocide in Gaza.

Vetted by Gazavetters, number 6 on the list

In his words: "As the bombing intensified and the violence escalated, we were forced to flee our beautiful home, which was completely destroyed, to the city of Rafah in southern Gaza. We lived in a small tent barely a few meters wide, but even that was not enough. We were forced to flee again to central Gaza, where we now live in a school for displaced people, moving from one place to another without knowing when this tragic journey will end... All we hope for now is to find safety, to not die before we can escape or move to a safer place. But even that simple right seems impossible. We need your help to raise the money needed to cross the Rafah border between Gaza and Egypt, where the coordination cost for one person ranges between $5,000 and $7,000."

Please help Ghada and his family survive!

Where can I read more on what defines fascism and makes it different from liberalism? What I've read before didn't describe fascism super well, so I've been making mistakes when trying to analyze current politics.

There’s an essay I like focusing on it from a legal perspective called The Change in the Function of Law in Modern Society by Franz Neumann, which focuses on how rule of law is defining for liberalism and how fascism wants to strip the state down to bare life, bare power, and bare sovereignty. Neumann also wrote a great book called Behemoth about Nazi Germany showing how the rule of law and order broke down under the Nazis in favor of a naked alliance between monopoly capital and the party-state. Through this alliance he also demonstrated their continuity with both the Weimar Republic and Imperial Germany because they inherited the same basic capitalist imperatives for society, and just arranged them differently.

For a broader and more recent perspective I like Nicos Poulantzas’s analyses. He wrote a great book called Fascism and Dictatorship critiquing the older Marxist theories of fascism, bringing back the issue of law and representation, which are extremely important for understanding both the differences and continuities between fascism and liberalism in the state, and he makes a useful distinction between fascism as a movement and fascism as an institutionalized arrangement of the state.

Alberto Toscano also recently published a book called Late Fascism giving a broad overview of theories of fascism from the contemporary analyses to the New Left and Black Power concepts of fascism, and he tries to synthesize him. He did a few different interviews about this as well, usually emphasizing the element from Black radical analyses of fascism which emphasize its continuity with white liberalism. By the conclusion I don’t find his synthesis entirely satisfactory, but it’s one of the best points to leave off for thinking through fascism on your own

Not you defending North Korea 🤡

almost every single shocking story about North Korea you have ever read (if not all of them) was either made up wholesale or sourced from North Korean defectors. these defectors are paid ludicrous sums of money by the South Korean government for their testimony, but that cash flow gets cut off if the defector comes across as even slightly sympathetic to their home country, which obviously leads to stories that make NK look good getting buried and stories that make them look bad getting spread to American media, regardless of how obviously fake they are, since anyone who questions them is obviously a fascist apologist who wants the world to get nuked.

i’m sure you already know this since you know so much about North Korea, but the US bombed almost the entire fucking country off the map and still holds annual military drills with South Korea in preparation to do it again right on the border as an intimidation attempt. if you can be cognizant of both of these facts and still take stories about officials being fed to 120 starving dogs at face value, you might be a fucking idiot

“Ultimately, preservation of the non-human is a very personal crusade, a rejection of the homogenization of the world that threatens to diminish all, including the self. There is no such thing as an individual, only an individual-in-context, individual as a component of place, defined by place.”

the most depressing part is that it's not even kamala's stance on genocide that is costing her the elections. i wish it were. it's people genuinely shifting for trump. but it's the pro-palestine movement that's going to get the blame for it.

Notes from besieged northern Gaza this morning:

- The occupation forces besiege Jabalia and northern Gaza for the 18th day with continuous artillery shelling and shooting at citizens' homes and shelters

- The israeli occupation forces destroy a number of citizens' homes in the Beit Lahia project

- Hundreds of appeals from families trapped in Jabalia camp and Beit Lahia project to rescue and evacuate them

- Director of the Indonesian Hospital: The occupation prevents the Red Cross from providing medical staff and patients with food and water.

- Dozens of martyrs and injuries in the streets of Beit Lahia project and Jabalia camp after the displaced were targeted by drones and artillery

- The israeli occupation army imposes a siege by fire on the Beit Lahia project, where tens of thousands of displaced people are present in this area.

- Martyrs and wounded in israeli shelling targeting citizens near Al-Qassam Mosque in Beit Lahia

- “Beit Lahia project is now being literally wiped out”

- Quadcopter aircraft besiege Khalifa bin Zayed School in the Beit Lahia project in the northern Gaza Strip with fire, and call on thousands of displaced persons to leave forcibly or face death and arrest threats.

- Shrouds run out in hospitals, families bury their loved ones in holes in the roads and homes without shrouds

- Kamal Adwan Hospital is surrounded by fire and medical crews are unable to move to rescue the wounded and martyrs

- As a result of the ongoing israeli bombing, three schools caught fire: Kuwait, Aleppo, and Hamad, which are the main schools in Jabalia camp, north of the Strip. Refugee shelters.

- “Calls in the quadcopters in northern Gaza, in Jabalia and Beit Lahia to evacuate, to blow up entire neighborhoods at once... Death, suffering, displacement and destroyed homes, all of them came together on us at one time and in one moment. For those outside Gaza, the entire Gaza Strip is barely the size of a small street in Cairo. To put the picture more clearly, the explosions that occur in Jabalia can be heard in Khan Younis.”

It seems Tumblr is continuing with their mass deactivation of Palestinian blogs. This time they've gone after @nourfamily1989, a mother with five young children in Gaza. Please continue sharing and supporting her fundraiser while she tries to get her account back.

all prisoners on death row are political prisoners. capital punishment is part of both the afterlife and presentlife of lynchings and slavery. the myriad of issues including the permanence of death as punishment, how death sentences are deployed in an overtly discriminatory manner, how capital punishment does nothing to actually prevent crime, denies people any chance of restorative justice all of these are secondary to the simple fact that the state should not have the right to kill human beings. some of y all keep missing the point and focusing on the dichotomies of guilt versus innocence when it comes to the liberation of prisoners on death row and otherwise). regardless of whether or not an individual is "guilty" of the crime they have been charged with, the state should not be able to detain them indefinitely before murdering them. full stop. rest in power marcellus williams and may we, in the words of george jackson, "rage on aggressive and free" until no human being is murdered by the state again

I don’t even know what words are appropriate in this situation. Something about this situation just doesn’t feel real. We live in an evil world. I sometimes don’t like to believe such things could happen again. But it happens live right in front of us. I’m so sorry for his family and the victim’s family. Neither will get their justice.

Two people were murdered in this case. And neither will get justice because of the unjust and corrupt “justice system”. Racism is so ingrained in our society and yet many will turn a blind eye and deny it still exists. Even in the face of murder.

Governor Mike Parson is a murderer. Shame on him and shame on the Supreme Court for having the chance to save him.

God rest his soul.
