@barbarismcrit@GramsciGallo Many previous examples too. Allende and Sukarno among others. We need to accept that there is no reformist path. I’d argue it’s not a “swing” back. Reformists historically play the role of clearing the way for fascists. They go hand in hand, intentionally or not.
Imagine cutting off federal student loans for programs leading to careers overwhelmingly held by women.
Women make up:
• 80% of teaching assistants
• 81–84% of social workers
• 73–80% of counselors
• 79% of elementary/middle-school teachers
• 85% of special-ed teachers
• 92% of hairstylists/cosmetologists
• 93% of childcare workers
Yup, just a coincidence.
Only in a country where the left’s politics are completely consumed by celebrity culture can a government official who voted to fund the Iron Dome, Israel’s most important technology in its ability to wage genocide with impunity, moral grandstand and pretend she’s less complicit in said genocide and the crackdown on free speech than some D-list singer.
Let’s be very clear: the reason we’re even in a wave of brutal McCarthyism—where artists are canceled for saying Free Palestine and Palestinians are snatched up by ICE—to begin with is because an administration that *she* served as the sheepdog and told us to keep voting for wanted to commit genocide without Columbia students yelling at them for it.
Macklemore is a top 5 white man. In a world that dehumanizes Palestinians at every turn he has never wavered on Palestine. He even cancelled his UAE show over their funding of the RSF’s genocide in Sudan when Sudan barely gets spoken about. Genuinely a man of principle
@AndrewDBailey 0% to start the season since they promised Kuminga the start but later if the spacing/fit is really bad (like really bad its Finch) I could see Ayo getting the spot.
@durianboy91@CantEverDie Good point although I’d argue that those machines and the automation that followed did eventually reduce human employment and wages too. Ai is a continuation of this capitalist process of investing in machines over human labor, not a new phase.
marxism is cool because it gives you the ability to completely accept the world for what it is, to move forward regardless, and more: the techniques for possibly changing it. it's the anti-escapism of philosophy. the "lock-in" of philosophy.
