Unfollowing opportunism enthusiasts! We have to build our counter-institutions and anti capitalist organizations outside the state in order to defeat capitalism!! People enthusiastic about reformism want proletarian rage to be assimilated back into broken corrupt edifices instead of building anew

Google at its peak was basically the best information retrieval system in human history and they and every competitor decided going from there to “you didn’t want answers you wanted half-assed auto-complete 80%-wrong hallucinations” in a few years was the right idea

It's weird to not only have lived through an information revolution but also now living through its undoing, all within less than a generation.

Can there be a postneoliberal moment ? Certainly nation-state level subsidies for local corporate monopolies have a logic of nation-client relationships that gets twisted back around to justify Trump’s tariff jockeying! Neoliberalism is in its peak hyper-incoherent! Neoliberal protectionism reigns!

The culture war is just two styles of moralism in tension—moral individualism and moral patriarchy. If we dispensed with morality in general and left ourselves only with ethics and principles, a demand from the world that we should hold higher standards would be evident. Morality is individuated!

Marx became even more of a role model for me when I realized that I might have to be a rogue academic with no professor job for a number of years! Marx can be held up as an independent scholar whose work literally reorganized several academic disciplines! Marx is a model hybrid thinker—organic rigor

Gen Alpha becoming the new consumer that Capital caters to … developments in demographic advertising and marketing pass for news in a world of pseudo political events when even policy paralysis is reported on as an event instead of a decided non-event that is a negation of the concept of happening

The patriarchal domination that can sometimes show up with certain trans women — whether in trans-inclusive lesbian relationships or in women’s artistic collectives — does not make it some kind of “gender colonialism” that would invalidate trans identity the way TERFs like to claim.

The latest round of tech working mobilization inspired by Cory's "enshitification" framing is amazing to see, tho I can't help bracing myself for the inevitable wasted energy as people rush forward without understanding counterantidisintermediation

Why did the Bolsheviks dissolve the councils? Why do anarchists fail to plan for the end of currency? Why do so many Marxist movements get taken over by nationalists despite Marx emphasizing internationalism? Why do so many anarchists end up joining parliaments? Why is incoherence so much the norm?

Hot take: we don’t need political parties that consume spontaneous movements and we don’t need spontaneous movements that totally reject all historical and tactical thought! There is no single form of non-state organization that is the key we need it all! Mutual aid, theory, workplaces, tenants

We need spontaneous movements yes but we also need strategy and an orientation for how we can connect various spontaneous points of struggle together and weave together our rage into a regional and international resistance that climaxes simultaneously not just when politicians say jump but via unity

Making literature of any kind illegal is one step towards being able to manufacture evidence that your perceived enemies are much more vast and dangerous than they are .
This is a floating signifier of sorts that will be used to target anyone the fascists see as a threat to their power.
