@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”

Le commun avant l’incitation
Une enquête peut donner la parole aux acteurs tout en leur imposant les catégories du chercheur. Chez les Hadza, la réciprocité arrive en tête des motivations déclarées du partage ; mais cela suffit-il à prouver que le partage est un échange entre individus plutôt qu’une norme constitutive du commun ? #Anthropology #Commons #HunterGatherers #EconomicAnthropology #Marxism #PoliticalPhilosophy #CriticalTheory…

>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.

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. -
It really annoys me when Marxists just can't give any credit to Anarchists. I was listening to FREE today, which I really enjoy, but the conversation really bothered me because they were talking about anarchist ideas (no patriarchy, non-heirarchical, Bookchin!) and yet they didn't mention anarchism or even hint at it. Instead Clara just mentions Marx.

'Lewis takes up a debate with several Black feminists who have, at various times, questioned the idea of family abolition, whose central argument has been that, very often, Black families have been sites of resistance against racism. Similarly, we could point to many experiences of class struggle in which sectors of working families have played a key role against the attacks of capital: supporting strikes, establishing relations of solidarity between factories and neighborhoods, staging rent strikes, maintaining soup kitchens, creating movements in defense of public services, and many other forms of resistance. The tradition of “women’s commissions” in strikes, for example, has allowed the working class to articulate fighting forces far beyond the workplace.
'To this criticism Lewis responds that, even so, we should not cease working for the abolition of the family, since we would not need its “protective shield” if we managed to build a society without racism. The argument contains a grain of truth, but it stops halfway. It fails to contemplate the role that the family relations within sectors of the working class and oppressed can play in moments of heightened class struggle. On another level, it doesn’t account for the fact that capitalism, while it needs such a “social cell” for its own reproduction, constantly undermines working families’ very conditions of existence. Marx and Engels remarked on this in the mid-19th century, pointing to the length of the working day, the lack of decent housing, and the general precariousness of working class life.'

@jlou This is why private property of all kinds is theft, renting capital that is the product of your own labour as either an individual or a group replicates exactly the problematic part of capitalism: the assumption of ownership over a porition of someone elses labour because you lay claim to the capital. Have you read any Proudhon? Also money is bad because it makes capital accumulation inevitable, but thats maybe a different topic "The horror is the firm not the fact the firm has a boss"

Hype for the Future 25G: Against Capitalism
Capitalism is the system that perpetuates concepts of “test scores,” deadlines, procrastination, exploitation, wages, and the slavery that is necessary for such a system to function. The idea that capitalism makes a nation—or any national system or entity—free is actually a coerced notion, as society has been forced to believe that capitalism was the successful way forward for at least the past several decades, back in a time when speaking of communism or even socialism was most […]https://novatopflex.wordpress.com/2025/11/25/hype-for-the-future-25g-against-capitalism/

"Sourced from the Max-Horkheimer-Archiv (MHA), both fragments—“On The Relation Between Critical Intellectuals, the Proletariat, and the Communist Party” and “The Curse of Writing Today”—are located under the subheading “Miscellaneous Manuscripts (1946),”1 filed alongside three (of the four surviving) typescripts from Horkheimer’s “Conversations with Theodor W. Adorno,” recorded during the first two weeks of October 1946, about the planned sequel to Dialectic of Enlightenment. These Diskussionsprotokolle were first published posthumously in Volume 12 of Horkheimer’s Gesammelte Schriften under the title: “Rettung der Aufklärung. Diskussionen über eine geplante Schrift zur Dialektik.”2 In addition to these discussions, the last two fragments under the same subheading were also selected for publication in the same volume of Horkheimer’s GS: “Towards a Critique of the American Social Sciences” and “The Fate of Revolutionary Movements,” each of which is also dated “October 1946.”3 One possible motive for the omission of the fragments below from Horkheimer’s GS is difficulty in determining authorship. Despite a number of indications to the contrary in the text of the fragments themselves, the archivists (tentatively) attribute them to Adorno alone—a problematic approach the archivists seem to have adopted for several other unpublished fragments from the archive with indeterminate authorship as well.4 In terms of content, there are two grounds for rejecting this attribution."

"Desde su recepción por la Nueva Izquierda anglófona en la década de 1970, la Teoría Crítica de Horkheimer y Adorno ha sido criticada por marxistas y habermasianos por abandonar la economía política. Luego, tras la crisis financiera de 2008, teóricos contemporáneos de la Escuela de Fráncfort, como Nancy Fraser, han desarrollado críticas al capitalismo, mientras que marxistas como William Clare Roberts, han reconstruido la teoría crítica de la dominación abstracta e impersonal de Marx.
Retomando estos debates teóricos, en la conferencia “Una teoría crítica de la dominación social”, Chris O’kane nos ofrece una interpretación de una rama particular de la teoría crítica que se originó en el pensamiento de Horkheimer. De esta rama se puede derivar un programa de investigación distinto de la crítica de la economía política, entendida como una teoría crítica de la dominación social, y opuesta al marxismo tradicional y a la teoría crítica habermasiana."

Some excellent bits of advice and observations for anyone considering organizing tech workers here.
>Emma Kinema:
>
>Quality assurance testers are the natural vanguard of the labor movement in the video game industry, at least in North America. However, they are treated like second-class citizens with lower pay, poor job stability, and stagnant career opportunities. **The discontent around these conditions provides the fuel for organizing**.
>
>As a former QA tester myself, I can attest to these conditions, and I have known far too many people making near minimum wage with years of experience under their belt. There is no excuse for that kind of treatment, and it makes sense that QA workers would be the first to organize in a major way in AAA video game development — as we have seen with other QA testers and CWA members at ZeniMax, Sega, and Activision. When we organized the World of Warcraft team, **it was essential to us that QA testers organized in the same unit as the rest of the development team** as a way to mend the two-tier rift that stands between QA and their fellow developers.
>
>Although QA is seen and treated as a weak and insignificant segment of workers, I believe **QA has some of the greatest structural power in the entire video game development pipeline**. If QA walks out on the job right before a major product launch, the entire project shuts down and it affects all other disciplines.
>
>...
>
>Em Geiger:
>
>The vast majority of Sega’s unit was QA testers. Without QA, this company and our video games would not survive, **so we have power in that regard when you realize how easy our struggle makes it to talk to others and eventually organize**. We have the most reason to unionize out of everybody.Tech workers, find whatever your equivalent of a QA department is, and join forces with them **under a single organizing unit**.
Also nice to see that Em Geiger is looking beyond unionization and towards total emancipation, as Marx recognized was necessary more than a century ago:
>Em Geiger
>
>All these visions for the future have made me think that it is going to take a massive restructuring of how we do business as a country. **But the more unions we nurse into existence, the closer we can get to ideal solidarity**.
>
>As a country, our work culture is very focused on the individual. Capitalism is a cancer; it is delusional to believe that it is a sustainable economic framework where the individual is the focus and subject of space. If we can level the playing field, we can get to a point where the focus is everyone inside a collective, and the focus of working toward the interest of others becomes a paradigm shift in our culture. **By nurturing unions, we get closer to prosocial behavior and a community-minded approach to how to navigate not just the workplace but our personal lives as well**. -

I like the videos put out by Prolekult. They tend to be a bit wordy and on the more intellectual side, which is not for everyone, but their insights seem sound and informative to me. 👍
Here's one below on why we see various groups on the far-left get into internecine battles and opaque debates that lead to little solidarity or action. BUT also it offers a way out for our own times.
