In memory and honor of Frederick Wiseman, who took hold of a still-young format and, guided from the start by an unyielding sense of principle, made a body of work so original, idea-rich, and unified that it seems foreordained—a historic fusion of investigation and the inner life
@ASPertierra@andrewelrod Certainly, much to do with the structure of internal elites. DT in its crudest form underplays these endogenous factors but there’s been plenty of grappling w these realities from w/in the theory. For me, DT’s issue is less to do w theoretical rigour and more a branding issue
@ASPertierra@andrewelrod A big part of the issue is Gunder Frank came to be seen as the ambassador for dependency theory and his (less rigorous) work has obscured the fact the DT is a diverse theoretical program that largely moved beyond Frank’s initial framework decades ago

Lula and AMLO/Sheinbaum are the most successful progressive leaders in the world, it's not even close. They've bucked the trend towards neo-fascism, all while western mainstream media portrays them as dodgy populists. Mexico & Brazil today are stronger democracies than America.
Lebanon: One MP casts a ballot for Bernie Sanders for President. Speaker Nabih Berri goes “what?”
Unfortunately Bernie is not eligible for the position as he is not a Maronite Christian.
