The argument that we are witnessing a “cultural revolution” via musk and trump akin to Maoism requires the belief that there is massive change in power not undergirded by the previous relations of society. That is not happening. This is the progression of capitalism. It’s culture is intact.

Deactivated my Facebook account for many reasons, but have now realised that its crowning glory is in fact Marketplace. I need cheap, used water butts and composter! Where else does one find such things these days? Not eBay that’s for sure.
