I love subskeeting! But also, the way people describe the solution or their vision of what is wrong with the current world reveals their memory of history or faithfulness to anticapitalist global principles!! It is ok to understand people’s description of problems and solutions as showing their view

Some ways of framing things just show a lack of care for history or (Marxist/anarchist) economic traditions and those ways of framing things, such as calling welfare capitalist policies “socialism”, belie a fundamental ignorance/mystification of reality that simply has to be broken with

Someone passive aggressively implied that I am unemployed because I have only tried to pursue academic jobs!! This could not be further from the truth!! I have applied to many other types of jobs including grocery stores and have failed to get an interview! The gall of people to assume and prejudge

Charles Murray is on X saying that 'feminization is the most portentious trend in American culture' so I'd like to remind us of the time a NYT article described his pseudoscientific screed The Bell Curve as a scabrous piece of racial pornography, nothing more than a genteel way of saying the N word

People still think they don’t need to read black thinkers to do their work. They’re wrong and their work is worse for it.

alright finished 1st draft: Schaxel develops a Spinozist-Hegelian model of ontogeny as infinite negation of the infinite; concludes with the sublation of the individual into the community of the masses, then possibly into one of like consciously self-differentiating super-insects (?)

The 'No Kings' protest isn't a protest.

It's a pep rally for Liberals that believe their feeling of being "part of something" is more important than any actual demands from those in power.

"No Kings" is not a demand. It's a stupid slogan and one that has no implication beyond "We're upset".

You can’t build a “solidarity economy” within capitalism! Currency and property and the history of colonialism still determine how resources have been distributed until this point. The rules of currency and property mean that all economic activity is either charity or exploitation!

Capital and shareholders are the new kings but the scale of their dictatorship is such that they can create endless faux shell corporations and representatives with which to divide the workers into endless ever smaller factions! “No Property”, “No Currency”, “No Ownership” would be better demands

Reducing the horizon of demands in a historical moment in which monarchism and feudalism have been largely dead for 100 years in most of the globe is the liberal prerogative! No Kings demands no kind of social contract, it demands no sense of community or non-exploitative circumstance! It regresses

Private property by definition is a system of a million petty kings, each the absolute lord of their little demesne, answerable to no one

Call it "Abolish Ice and Arrest and Jail the President and his whole Administration" or something meaningful, "no kings" is a pout, petulant, no leverage, like inviting the police force of nazis and the capital they protect, to whom no lives matter, to care about black lives
