althusser's main opponent when he critiqued humanism in the PCF was roger garaudy, a christian reformist who would become a holocaust denier, miraculously making paul mason only the second worst proponent of marxism-humanism
The Music is Black exhibition in the V&A East is outstanding. Operating like an immersive silent disco, you wear headphones that change the soundtrack as you move through different eras.
@dubsoulrebel Despite the 2/5 review from the Financial Times (a newspaper for boring stockbrokers), I think it's excellent. Their most sprawling album to date.
@bat020 The last time I saw them in Dublin, the use of mobile phones was expressly forbidden. It was respected by the audience. Saying that, I don't see any problem taking a couple of photos to document the event.
One of the greatest wins for any Irish football team tonight. That Dutch team is top class and Ireland refused to be beaten. Phenomenal stuff. Automatic qualification not beyond them

Ireland does not like a neighbour, that insist on murdering its people. Read Ireland’s history, @SociologenHD Dahl, and understand Israel’s neighbours - those that still live.
Aqueduct near Luynes dating back to the 2nd century. It originally ran for about 300 metres. It is the most beautiful edifice of its kind found today in western France
Alan Woods’ study of Irish republicanism claims Connolly’s legacy while repeating the Grantite failure to grasp national oppression, imperialism and the programme needed for a workers’ republic.

Indigenous leaders of La Paz, Bolivia: We don't want dialogue or negotiation with those who have our blood on their hands, we'll be at the barricades until the President is gone.
A choice of philosophy magazines in the French supermarket. In the age of AI, we need to incorporate more philosophy into the curriculum to promote critical thinking and epistemic curiosity.
Bolivia has entered a revolutionary crisis. This introduction brings together the analysis of MST comrades in Bolivia and explains the background, the role of the COB, and the fight over what replaces Rodrigo Paz.
