“Toussaint, like Robespierre, destroyed his own Left-wing, and with it sealed his own doom. The tragedy was that there was no need for it. #Robespierre struck at the masses because he was bourgeois and they were communist. That clash was inevitable, and regrets over it are in vain. But between #Toussaint and his people, there was no fundamental difference of outlook or of aim. Knowing the race question for the political and social question that it was, he tried to deal with it in a purely political and social way. It was a grave error. #Lenin in his thesis to the Second Congress of the Communist International warned the white revolutionaries — a warning they badly need — that such has been the effect of the policy of #imperialism on the relationship between advanced and backward peoples that European Communists will have to make wide concessions to natives of colonial countries in order to overcome the justified prejudice which these feel toward all classes in the oppressing countries. Toussaint, as his power grew, forgot that. He ignored the black laborers, bewildered them at the very moment that he needed the most, and to bewilder the masses is to strike the deadliest of all blows at the #revolution.”

Spanish political leaders know that the economy relies on undocumented migrants and their labor. Rather than step up expulsions, Pedro Sánchez’s government has announced plans to regularize over 500,000 migrants’ status.

Le problème d’ #Israël en Serbie
Le gouvernement serbe https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aleksandar_Vu%C4%8Di%C4%87 est un fier allié israélien, qui augmente ses ventes d’armes ces dernières années. Pas étonnant que lorsque #FrancescaAlbanese s’est rendue en #Serbie en mars, le gouvernement et l’ambassade israélienne ont tenté de la faire taire. https://jacobin.com/2026/04/serbia-albanese-israel-palestine-genocide/

> contractors now outnumber federal employees by more than two to one (the size of the federal workforce has remained largely unchanged over the last half century, ...)
Romania has its own version of this problem. The consultancy and contracting ecosystem around EU fund absorption in Romania is enormous, and there's well-documented waste in how procurement operates at the local level.
The Bolojan government decided instead to cut teachers' salaries and plunge a country that has been in permanent austerity since 1989 into even more austerity.
Again, not fully Bolojan's fault, as adherence to EU's strict Excessive Deficit Procedure is not optional (unless for war spending lmao), and Bolo's top priority was avoiding EU sanctions and a sovereign credit downgrade to junk.
Regardless, I'm not surprised that Euroscepticism is blooming in Eastern Europe, with citizens being told they have to tighten the belt, but the state is allowed to boost defence spending only.

In #Finland, #theLeft Can #Meme — and Win #Elections
An interview with #AlmaTuuva
The online right loves to say the Left can’t meme. Alma Tuuva — a meme account admin recently elected in Finland — talked to @jacobin.com about why the #libertarianright is so influential on #socialmedia and how she’s getting her #anticapitalist message across.

"The leftists I know are all engaged and committed to fighting back. They’re not cowering doomsday preppers. They are working hard and showing more ambition than anyone else in politics. It’s the liberals and centrists who are the pessimistic, unimaginative ones who think we must take baby steps and that nothing good is possible. In fact, I think the excess negativity on the left here is Guastella’s. He is telling us we’re all a bunch of failures unworthy of the great Karl Marx. (“Are there any intellectuals of the Left today whose insights and commitment to humanity’s long-term horizon rival those of Karl Marx or Karl Polanyi?”)
But look, I believe in solidarity. I don’t want a rift with Guastella and Jacobin here, because I have immense respect for Jacobin and warm, comradely feelings toward them. I don’t feel Guastella is being fair to me or to Melonio, Taylor, Klein, or Steffen, but the important point is that we all agree, actually. He writes that “without a flag staked in the future — a clear vision of the world we want for our children and theirs — we lose track of where we want to go.” Well you don’t have to tell me, Dustin. I write things like that all the time. So let’s not bicker, eh? There’s no need to write articles in Jacobin castigating fellow leftists as “unserious, misanthropic, and bound to lose.” Just join with us as we build the glorious socialist future together. Solidarity forever!"

Interesting discussion between Liza Featherstone and Kristen R. Ghodsee about dystopian Sci-Fi and American education:
From Alduous Huxley’s Brave New World to George Orwell’s 1984 to Lois Lowry’s The Giver, dystopian stories dominate school reading lists. ... As Ghodsee argues ... “The message of these books is loud and clear: you may be unhappy with the way things are but forget about trying to change them.”

"The popular turn to “#digitalsovereignty” identifies the right problem but mislocates the solution, treating #thestate as something that can simply be recaptured… Reclaiming #publicauthority thus depends on strengthening the democratic parts of the economy itself — rebuilding institutions capable of pooling capital, coordinating at scale, and exerting leverage. #Cooperatives, if politicized and #federated, remain one of the few tools available for doing that work."
