A basic idea in Lenin is that the state is, above all, a coercive machine to suppress the masses, while maintaining legitimacy through small crumbs.

If one doesn’t know its class character, one has not understood political economy. My book on the state:

You all greatly underestimate the horrors of McCarthyism. Assassination attempts, mob violence, terrorism, political persecution, purges, etc. were all decisive in the weakening the Communist Party. If you ever spoke to a McCarthy victim you could never say something like this.

🚨: It's after midnight in Gaza as Israel is blowing up civilian homes on an unprecedented scale in Gaza City.

Reports on the ground and eyewitnesses talk of charred bodies and massive destruction, coupled with a vast number of casualties.

Crazy: a private citizen convicted, fined €2000 for a FB comment calling Friedrich Merz a "lying Fritz". Apparently this could "foster aggression". To say the least, such a comment is clearly well within the norm of how most people talk about politicians https://t.co/MivCzCMCx3

This nutjob and Dugin are constantly yapping about turning Russia into an endless suburbia (harder to destroy by targeted nuclear strikes or smth) with traditional values, robots and khorovods — which is like the most caricature 1950s fallout-esque burgertopia one can imagine

Malofeev at SPIEF: Best-case scenario for Russia is EU collapse, worst-case is defeat in war with Ukraine in 2036

"In 2036," stated Konstantin Malofeev, who moderated the panel discussion 'The Main Threats to Russia in the Second Quarter of the 21st Century,' "the pessimistic scenario entails our defeat in the Special Military Operation and a standoff with the West. By 2050, it means the colonization of Russia.

In the optimistic scenario, we have a clear vision of victory in the ideological war based on forecasting and strategic planning. We will see the annexation of Kyiv, Odesa, Kharkiv, and so on. The collapse of the European Union. And by 2050, leadership in ensuring global security and justice."

To achieve victory over Ukraine, Malofeev called for the use of nuclear weapons during his speech at the economic forum.

I will be even more blunt: Tenured Professors defending a system they benefited from should surprise no one. That a lot of the arguments are basically just “this is just like everything else,” however, are utterly and completely false.

Intellectual labor needs the same protections as all labor (which sadly few laborers get), not a quasi-aristocratic guild system that only functions by an army of grad students as TAs and Research Assistants and even more precarious and larger adjunct faculty enable for am faculty research that is a coin flip on if anyone in their field sees.

I realize that even full time faculty are precariously positioned now. Pay is dropping. I literally make more as a high school teacher than many full time professors in my field, and I make about median household income for my area.

But these systems are failing and that is part of how the vultures have been circling.

“Many see as illegal”

BECAUSE IT IS ILLEGAL. The West Bank is Palestinian territory OCCUPIED by Israel. Every settlement is illegal.
