Marxists told you long before Jack Dorsey, remember. businessinsider.com/twitter-ceo-ja…
Where Jack is wrong is that Bitcoin won't save capitalism or, by extension, him.
Can't wait for all of our esteemed Twitter "Marxists" to kneejerk, call this a bit, and insist money is fake for the clout - blunting real Marxism and literally giving the bourgeoisie ground in the process.
"In purely economic terms, the capitalist system as a whole has reached its historical limit"

The censorship of Novara by a capitalist monopoly is not a victory for anyone. If the process of digital information control extends to even right social democrats (who platform eugenicists nonetheless), its acceptance allows an expansion to all left media.
I despise Novara, but we do not cheer the growing assertiveness of reactionary monopolies.
I fully allow for the possibility this is a grift too: don't give them any fucking money

Bourgeois ideological infrastructure and its dynamic of "report -> news cycle" is honestly stupid as fuck. This is so fucking obvious it's unfathomable.

Why aren't they doing it? Nature does not produce surplus value. That's it. #SocialismorExtinction theguardian.com/environment/20…
Love to see another UN Climate Conference conclude we should re-invent trees, keep drinking the earth's blood like frat boys at a kegger, and swan off to achieve nothing until the next one repeats. Rinse repeat ad nauseam in an ever mounting wreath of flames.
"The alternative to flowers: why neon matters in a changing climate" will be an actual proposal in less than three years at this rate.

Brexit isn't original sin. HGV drivers are definitely one reason why shortages are hitting Britain hard, but gas prices across *all of Europe* have risen 500% this year. The crisis is made more acute by Britain's parasitism, and that, in turn, has been given a catalyst by Brexit.
It's pure liberal nonsense that the economy was a-okay, just fine, then Brexit happened.
Britain exported 560% of its GDP in capital investments abroad in 2015. If you have an economy like that, then any shock, anywhere in the world, is gonna make itself known.

the soft/soc dem/Labour watcher left rn and probably forever
I don't how people can possibly be obsessed with this still. They don't care about elections, they don't care about the conditions of anyone other than themselves and they don't want any of you in their party. You all know this, yet you remain hitched to obsolescence.
Obsessing over every detail of Keir Starmer's road to nothing and insisting that Corbyn's road to nothing would have mattered is, at this point, a cultural fetish covering for having no strategy imo.

I am all for logging off but the "get some air" or "touch grass" memes will never not simply be hysterical to me because they don't account for the fact that we can be online outside anywhere and have been able to do that for over a decade.
You all sound like jaded parents who just want the kids to go out so they can have sex circa 2002
Aside: I wonder how many middle-aged sex lives Runescape and Neopets ruined in the early 2000s

I’ve been doing a lot of reading around fascism and modes of production in decay for this year’s @ProlekultFilms and I’m increasingly unconvinced that the term fascism has any use when considered as an abstract force.
The dominant modern reading of the 1930s communist analysis of fascism is really illustrative in this way. Rajani Palme Dutt puts forward the clearest articulation in his wonderful book “Fascism and Social Revolution“.
He argues that fascism is capitalism in decay (something that gets attributed to Lenin a lot but makes no sense to attribute to him if you apply a modicum of histriography). In the modern frame, this gets read as “capitalism in decay gives rise to fascism as a social force”.
