Something I think people really don't understand about the last election is that the people who were trying to rig the election for Trump are the same people who actually did rig the election for Bush in 2000. Like Roger Stone was the guy who did

the Brooks Brothers riot that stopped the recount in Florida in 2000, Roger Stone was trying EXACTLY the same shit in 2020. But nobody on the left wants to hear about it because people are so caught up in this image of Trump as the anti-neocon

that they refuse to see all of the ways in which his administration was run by all of the worst Bush era fascists. Like he even fucking dragged Gina "the Thailand Blacksite" Haspel back into service to head the CIA, of COURSE he was going to try

What I think is really interesting is that early Chinese nationalists like Carl Zha would actually talk about how a lot of the problems in Xinjiang were caused by the fact that economic growth favored the Han population over the other minorities

and that CCP poverty alleviation efforts (the stuff in the 90's and 2000's) actually made things worse because the money was distributed by the ruling mostly Han cadre to other Han businesses but now the line is all of it is lies and the good CCP

1. Think about the Thatcher quote about how "there's no such thing as society. There are individual men and women" and how almost everyone leaves off the last part, which is "and there are families". There's this persistent argument that

2. neoliberalism is about atomization and it's true to a broad extent but neoliberalism is also about maintaining the grip of the family because the family is the means through which social reproduction is controlled. And there's always been a

3. tendency among certain parts of the workers movement to just ignore social reproduction all together but producing new workers is as vital to the reproduction of capitalism as extracting surplus value is, and that's why you see such intense

I'll talk about it more tomorrow but the whole Heimbach thing is a great example of why the anti-extremism people shouldn't be fucking let anywhere near anti-fascism

Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Heimbach is fucking dangerous, he always has been. The TWP was one of the most violent neo-Nazi groups of the post-2017 era. I saw him and his fucking goon attacking people in the streets, NO ONE should have trusted him.

But a bunch of liberal dipshits and out of touch faux radicals who had no fucking idea what they were doing decided to try to rehabilitate him because they had no fucking connection to any actual antifascist organizing and fell for his sob story.

1. The real question about what's going on in Cuba for Americans isn't is this a CIA op the question is what are you going to do about it? After all, who else has access to the gears of the American empire? No one else has the potential to disrupt

3. pamphlets by a bizarre microsect. Marxism, so Gramsci described it, is the philosophy of praxis. Philosophers have hitherto only interpreted the world in various ways; the point is to change it says Marx. And yet the "Marxists" do nothing.

So Leverage Redemption fucking rips and the reason that it's good and every other reboot sucks is that unlike most shows which are a reaction to like 2000's or early 2010's or whatever culture Leverage is about the post 2008 economy, and it's

obvious even to screenwriters that everything that was bad about the 2008 economy still exists but is worse, so you can still do basically the same show and it's great
