in this often inhumane world, it might be good to bear in mind @baruch 's reminder that « we can only succeed if we rise together. We will only rise together when the least powerful of us can also lead »

« @baruch 's book is a good guide for an age which is in the process of moving past the Anthropocene — as humans are voluntarily relinquishing control to more and more powerful technical systems »

kicking off the (im)possibility of planetarity summer school https://t.co/YT8sYC4WrG at @westdenhaag tomorrow with a special lecture on Spivak and Glissant with @avishekgangs at 4pm and the Open Paviljoen in the Lange Voorhout in front of former US Embassy. Come say hello!
This is a quite important manifesto-treatise, nicely supplementing the work undertaken by Kohei Seito amongst Degrowth theorists. I could not recommend this book highly enough for those interested in this emerging branch of Marxism

Post-industrial society is really most-industrial society, post-modernity is really most-modernity, and “the post-human” condition is really a most human condition

With a compelling re-assessment of the vexed figure of human being, @baruch 's 'Most-Human Condition' rescues us from stagnation in the realm of the volatile, precarious, and contingent

US politicians commonly claim that the US has been a "beacon of democracy" for the past 250 years, at home and abroad. Let's have a look a the evidence. 🧵 Links at the end.
The European Commission has just made it clear that the rigid constraints they had placed on public finance were totally artificial. They have now lifted them to enable massive military production.
The EC could have done the same thing to achieve rapid decarbonization and ensure good housing, healthcare, and public transit for all. They could have abolished deprivation, unemployment and economic insecurity. But they did not.
This exposes an extraordinary betrayal. It reveals that the European working classes have been lied to, over and over.
The European Commission has suppressed production of public services, not because it has been fiscally necessary to do so, but because it ensures the conditions for capital accumulation.
