🇨🇳 China is now the undisputed leader in green technologies, but how its political and economic model has shaped the transition is often unclear. In this new article in @RIPEJournal with Mathias Larsen, we provide a structured approach to understanding China's green transition.

[Vijay Prashad @vijayprashad]

War crushes the spirit of a society.
It enriches the arms dealers.
It empowers the sadistic side of life.
Those of us who love humanity, hate war.
There are only two sides in life: those who love life, and those who love hatred.
I love life.
I oppose war.

The slogan above them reads: The victory of the oppressed vs the Nazi Zionism.
Four Israeli soldiers, with gift bags and flashing peace signs, standing in a room of Palestinians; these Israeli soldiers had been maintaining the brutal siege against Gaza. They are being released in what appears to be good physical shape. Cannot say the same for the Palestinian prisoners, who have been tortured and who are being released a pale shadow of their physical selves.

Srabani Chakraborty and I from @tri_continental respond to an article in Jacobin which falsely accuses the CPI(M) of not being vigorous in the fight against communalism (and, in fact, having a ‘Muslim dilemma’, whatever that means). We set the record straight: https://t.co/N4L2jz2guF

[Into The Forest Dark @ElliottBlackwe3]

Simone Weil wrote “Imaginary evil is romantic and varied; real evil is gloomy, monotonous, barren, boring. Imaginary good is boring; real good is always new, marvelous, intoxicating.” I think about this truth a lot.

@pmenon But this is a relief, right?
