  1. Fédération de communes libérées sous tutelle ONU : fédéralisme radical et décroissance municipalo-communiste

    Une fédération de communes libérées — à l’échelle d’un État ou d’une union — pourrait engager une décroissance municipalo-communiste sous tutelle internationale provisoire. Proudhon, Bookchin et Webber offrent ici trois appuis complémentaires : fédéralisme, communalisation et pluralité des allégeances.#Federalism #Commons #Degrowth #Communalism #Proudhon

  2. 7.10: Ariel & Christina Discuss the Solarpunk Merits of Walkaway by Cory Doctorow

    Cory Doctorow’s 2017 novel Walkaway has a reputation in solarpunk circles as a great example of a solarpunk lifestyle, and a must-read book for everyone from the individual who lives and breathes solarpunk to the solarpunk-curious to general science fiction fans. But what is it about Walkaway that gives it solarpunk cred? Ariel and Christina ponder this, discussing features of the novel that could be considered solarpunk, and some that might be more post-cyberpunk than anything, and how some of the ideologies and technologies are or have been applied in our present world. Is the world of Walkaway an achievable solarpunk paradise, or a nice hopeful story featuring very cool gadgets and bites of lefty philosophy? Or something else entirely? What is the draw, here, anyway? Join us to think through some of the quandaries and ideas the book raises.

  3. Just throwing this out there for anyone to comment on. A lot of us are in the gig economy, either by choice or need. We are craftspeople, gardeners, cleaners, IT professionals, etc. We may find ourselves dependent on the large app and lead service companies for jobs. We have to function in this competitive environment of grow big, eat the competition or die.
    Is there an alternative economy we can build? One based on cooperation more than competitiveness? Aside from giving everyone a basic income, so they can do what they love without being forced to be either an employer or an employee. How about an economy modeled off ecological species guilds? Are there examples of that? I like the idea of working in a confederation of self sufficient craftspeople, rather than in the the old employer/employee system. Natural ecosystems themselves are not hierarchical. They have thrived for ages. If we want to survive, maybe there is a lesson there.

  4. India Deserves a Better Media

    Mainstream news channels have been in thrall to Prime Minister Narendra Modi. A ragtag army of small independent media is helping to save democracy. Mukul Kesavan writes.

  8. The enduring personality cult of Narendra Modi

    The formula for the Indian prime minister’s brand of populism was developed in Gujarat, a “laboratory for Hindu nationalism”. (An excerpt from 'Gujarat Under Modi: Laboratory of Today’s India' by Christophe Jaffrelot (Hurst Publishers, February 2024).

  9. Narendra Modi: A Pracharak Morphed into a Politician?

    Modi has always claimed that he was “an apolitical CM”. This claim extends back to his first faltering steps in the public arena, which, undeniably, have endowed him with a unique pedigree. But this claim needs to be scrutinised. Extract from Christophe Jaffrelot's 'Gujarat Under Modi: Laboratory of Today’s India', to be published on 15 February 2024.

  10. Madhya Pradesh's Emergence as Another Hindutva Laboratory Keeps BJP Afloat

    Voter fatigue should mean an electoral rout in the state assembly polls for the BJP. But the Congress is battling more than Mamaji at the helm for 18 years. Sustained Hindutva rhetoric since the days of the Jana Sangh give the BJP a cushion.

  13. Praying on the Road Is Not a Good Feeling, but What Else Can Indian Muslims Do?

    People would have you believe that what we perceive as humiliation is part of a big plan to destabilise the country. In 2023, they make it appear to be some grand conspiracy, as if it’s a plot to disrupt the nation’s peace.
