@thetimes“We are entering an era of severe currency crises, capital controls, and the weaponisation of the legal infrastructure to execute the final looting of the public and private citizen alike. The legal and financial architecture is being re-engineered behind the scenes. Under the guise of securing ‘systemic stability,’ the collateral of ordinary individuals, pension funds, and public assets is being positioned to be absorbed by the clearing houses of the financial elite when the debt and derivative bubbles burst. This is the logical endpoint of a system that has moved from the ‘too big to fail’ bailouts to architectural re-engineering”

Trois phases d’un libéralisme injustifiable : du keynésianisme à l’illibéralisme
Comment le keynésianisme, le néolibéralisme, le néo-managérialisme et l’illibéralisme peuvent être interprétés comme trois phases successives d’un libéralisme de moins en moins défendable. De la gouvernance technocratique à l’autoritarisme ouvert, les masques tombent. #Marxism #CriticalTheory #PoliticalEconomy #Neoliberalism #Illiberalism #Capitalism #PoliticalPhilosophy Une lecture…

Banger of a read from Kenya.
>Communists should indeed reject sectarianism.
>
>Sectarianism isolates revolutionaries from the masses.
>
>It substitutes slogans for investigation.
>
>It mistakes organisational isolation for ideological purity.
>
>But there exists another danger.
>
>Liquidationism.
>
>Liquidationism dissolves the communist party into the general Left.
>
>It blurs ideological distinctions.
>
>It dismisses organisational discipline.
>
>It celebrates diversity while abandoning revolutionary coherence.
>
>If sectarianism builds walls where bridges are necessary, liquidationism removes the foundations upon which the bridge itself must stand.
>
>Marxism Leninism rejects both.---Booker Ngesa Omole

Industrial capitalism exploited workers' bodies. Platform capitalism commodifies their attention. Different technologies, same system—profit built on human exploitation. The struggle for workers' liberation must also challenge surveillance, algorithmic control, and digital monopolies.

If Acts Happened Today, Would We Call It Communism?
For many, "communism" has become less a political philosophy and more a conversation stopper. But is every effort to use our shared resources to care for the poor, the sick, and the vulnerable really communism? This article examines the difference between political labels and biblical principles, comparing the teachings of the early Church with today's political rhetoric. -
🧵Cabral said that national liberation could not be achieved without the emancipation of women. He wrote that just as colonialism negated the autonomy of Guineans and Cape Verdeans, so too did patriarchal customs negate the autonomy of women. The instructions of the PAIGC soldiers reflected this: they had to respect local customs only insofar as they did not conflict with equal rights of men and women.
In practice, Cabral established a quota system ensuring that at least two of five elected members on village tribunals and councils were women.

🧵Cabral applied Marxist analysis to the social structure in Guinea. He recognised the significant physical force of the peasant class, but he argued that the peasantry in Guinea did not have active political consciousness, and thus they didn't act as the primary revolutionary subject. Cabral doesn't follow Maoism in this matter, as in China the peasantry had a history of revolting and political awareness.
Cabral inverts common Marxist class analysis, arguing that the only group equipped with the literacy and organisational tools to seize the state is the petite bourgeoisie. However, he identifies the petite bourgeoisie as a service class, not rooted in economic productivity.
So upon decolonisation the petite bourgeoisie could either inherit state power and try to preserve itself by becoming more bourgeois, or it could strengthen its revolutionary consciousness and ally with the working class. Cabral introduces the concept of class suicide.
Cabral argues that the petite bourgeoisie has more frequent contact with the colonisers, and is therefore more often humiliated. This leads to a higher level of political awareness of the need for liberation.

I'm not a Trotskyist. That's why I can assess this subject clearly 😁
Mai 68 proved Trotsky right.
At the very least regarding his criticism of Stalinist bureaucratism and his position that, in times of crisis, the revolutionary creativity and consciousness of the masses outstrips and moves faster than that of official parties.
Fight me, bitches 🙃

I've just finished reading Herbert Marcuse's "The Aesthetic Dimension: Towards a Critique of Marxist Aesthetics".
Marcuse makes a powerful case for the the autonomy of art, as neither an escapist refuge nor a simple tool or superstructural reflection of social forces, but as a radical emancipatory force in its own right.
Even though proponents of the orthodox Marxist aesthetics he criticizes must be as rare as hen's teeth today, his argument, mutatis mutandis, can still be read with profit today by all on the left.
I read it in hard copy, but it's short enough to read online as a PDF:
http://www.marginalutility.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/aesthetic-dimension-_-marcuse.pdf
The work was originally published in German under the title "Die Permanenz
der Kunst: Wider eine bestimmte Marxistische Aesthetik" in 1977.In that same year....

Great piece on what it means to be a communist on a personal level and how a communist party should support its candidates as they prove themselves for full membership and beyond 👇

I've reviewed Kohei Saito's "Marx in the Anthropocene: Towards the idea of a degrowth communism".
Marx as a decolonial, utopian degrowther!
Do take a look and share your thoughts.
