yeah, seeing debate abt fascists' relation to capital. feel like echoing Merinsky on the base fact that they have no critique of private property and are often the shock troops or fetishizers of primitive accumulation. they might grouse about other forms of capitalist activity but they're the hammer

not surprised that as U.S. goes from de facto sponsor of genocide to (lobotomized) UN-approved colonial overseer of the genocide, that I can no longer access certain resistance channels for my research. here's telegram: "This channel can't be displayed because it violated local laws (USA)."

after the revolution, social media will be people in the same room/garden, some letting out all their cassandra thoughts, the others giving them really good back rubs saying "i know i know." people switch places as they need/desire.

if there were ever any doubt, now that the U.S. has stepped in to direct the colonial process and deny Palestinian sovereignty, it's the U.S.'s genocide too.
The UN approved a US plan for Gaza that hands control to foreign powers and delays Palestinian statehood, undermining national authority and sovereignty.

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.
