Latest from Salvage #16 is my essay, 'How Life Doesn't Work': on the needful freedom and history-making power of the organism and the limits of materialism. Marxism needs something like this foundation for its emancipatory claims.

Just reiterating my conclusion here in light of the DSA/Raman debate: the unifying thread should be that regardless of who you’re voting for, a Raman victory in itself will not solve our issues. Her record has shown that she must be pushed for the left to achieve our demands. 🧵

Out of love for the working class, I am in @JournalSpectre sharing my experience assembling EV Hummers at General Motors, taking measure of the auto industry and the UAW, and discussing ways out of the crisis

The crisis facing autoworkers is unfolding on many fronts, from the chaotic corporate-led electric vehicle (EV) transition to the ongoing restructuring toward nonunion manufacturing and more.

The UAW has only just started to play defense.
