The tide is turning. Keep going. We will keep going, too.

Tepid social democracy just sours people further. It's just plainly in evidence.

[Alex Colston @re_colston]

Lula's trajectory has so many important lessons for U.S. social democrats that I am all but certain not a single one of them will pay a lick of attention to.

[Alex Colston @re_colston]

Behold, truly, the limits of technocratic "government will deliver for people," with rhetorically pro-worker characteristics, and little in the way of truly animating or rebuilding working-class institutions on their own terms, and little in the way of disciplining capital.

It's not totally over, of course. There will be a runoff. They should fight like the world depends on it, cause in a lot of ways, it does.

Fascist international pretty much full ascendant in most of the western hemisphere, and it's going to be sold for parts by the worst people on planet earth to enrich the worst people on planet earth. Cool stuff

[Alex Colston @re_colston]

I really had thought Brazil would be bulwark holdout against the trend. Just so fucking depressing.

Happy Brazilian Election day to all those who celebrate it

Pedro Sánchez will both immediately dissolve parliament tomorrow with snap elections on 29 November and reimplement the tenant protection decrees that parliament voted down on Friday

[Alex Colston @re_colston]

Thanks

Watching the Brazilian election, and thinking about just walking into traffic with a blindfold on

@grulkon Also true, just as it's true that Zionism also emerged out of conservative statecraft (Benjamin Disraeli) and against reactionary racist ideas of the 19th c (Moses Hess). I'm recounting the dominant 20th c development—taken against better paths—for the sake of simplicity.

[Alex Colston @re_colston]

Here, I'll explain, no problem: European Jews were an internal colony, and a supremacist colonial project tried to exterminate and expel them. In response, European Jews created a supremacist colonial project called Israel. Zionism is the racist ideology of this dominant history.

@shaabiranks @mcenizas_ Hell ya, brother, best news I've heard in a very long time

[Alex Colston @re_colston]

Actually my best post, and one that continues to be right on the pulse. Will it ever end, I dk, I've stopped caring.

[Alex Colston @re_colston]

@UdsiAsli Sending you support, buddy, it continues to be a tough time.

[Alex Colston @re_colston]

I don't like this website, and I don't like the way most people use it. It's not good for political education. It makes no meaningful difference in really existing political life. I can be right a thousand times over about the recurrent political discourse and it means nothing.

[Adi Alardah @alardah91]

A brave Egyptian teenager defies the border barrier to deliver bread to starving Palestinians in Gaza.

“I delivered 1,000 loaves of bread to the Palestinians,” he says.

[Alex Colston @re_colston]

@shaabiranks Ya, but you'd think the people who are trying to make it conceivable would be minimally more cogent.

[Alex Colston @re_colston]

"Anti-racism is full-fledged support for ideologies that justify total state segregation based on race, culture, religion, creed, and shared identity" is not the liberal pluralistic argument that many think it is, lmao.

[Alex Colston @re_colston]

You don't want to have a struggle session with me over the "right opinion," or over whether I've held it with fidelity, or over my ability to out-argue you, I promise.

[Alex Colston @re_colston]

I suppose for people who are trying to figure out what they think day-to-day there's some use in skirmishing about the news, but not for me, sorry to say.
