Mike Davis : industrialisation européenne et désindustrialisation coloniale sont les deux faces d’un même processus global
Mike Davis montre que l'industrialisation du XIXe siècle ne crée pas le capitalisme à partir de rien : elle consolide les dépossessions initiales. Industrialisation européenne et désindustrialisation coloniale sont les deux faces d'un même processus global.

"In 2022, when Mike Davis died at age seventy-six, obituary writers rightly praised his radicalism, his anti-imperialism, his warnings of environmental catastrophe, and the sophisticated yet lucid brand of Marxism with which he observed capitalism’s dystopian transformation of Los Angeles and other cities. Many called him “the prophet of doom.”
His energy was enormous. He had twenty books to his name, and some, including City of Quartz, Ecology of Fear, Late Victorian Holocausts, and Planet of Slums, have become classics with an ever-widening influence. But his rough, tough, working-class persona, forged in the gritty, downscale reaches of the Southern California suburban frontier, has often obscured his relationship to the ideas and texts that he encountered, mastered, revised, and deployed in a forty-year outpouring of work whose vitality and breath continues to astound readers. So how did Mike Davis, the San Diego County redneck, become Mike Davis, the transatlantic intellectual, a man whose first book and his last were histories of the working class?"

"in the later phases of the war and then revolution, women’s struggles for decent wages, affordable rents, and safe workplaces often combined with demands for full citizenship—not only the right to vote but access to public employment, the professions, and political office”

“Thus the 1888 walkout of 1,500 girls & young women in a Bow phosphorus-match factory electrified the entire unorganized working class of East London, setting in motion the events that led to the successful 1889 strike of 100 000 dockworkers & “New Unionism.”

"The loss of more than 90 per cent of #SouthernCalifornia’s agricultural buffer zone is the principal if seldom mentioned reason #wildfires increasingly incinerate such spectacular swathes of luxury real estate. [...] what makes us most vulnerable is the abruptness of what is called the ‘wildland-urban interface’, where real estate collides with #FireEcology." - #MikeDavis

"...we're gonna put kids in cages. It's gonna be glorious." -- Mike Davis, potential next AG.
I thought MAGA wanted to empty the US of supposedly horrible people who are destroying the country. Now it's a giggle-fest about the "glory" of "[putting] kids in cages."
If you voted for Trump and identify as a Christian, you're deluded. And you've redefined what it is to be American.
"Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free..." Yeah. Right.

[💥 NOVO! 💥] Seu "ecobairro", nossa humilhação. Uma paisagem que tritura a maioria | "De olho no preocupante fenômeno de associações de moradores, organizações não governamentais e indivíduos supervalorizarem a escala local, no que parece um possível efeito do fenômeno descrito por Mike Davis e citado por David Harvey com relação ao mercado imobiliário estadunidense, ou seja, um comportamento exacerbador do direito de propriedade que resulta num 'microfascismo de vizinhança', passei a olhar mais cuidadosamente para a urbanização difusa sem abandonar um olhar voltado à classe social e, sobretudo, à concentração de renda". | 🏷️ Etiquetas: #suburbios #periferias #fascismo #propriedadeprivada #imoveis #bairros #altodepinheiros #jardins #saopaulo #mikedavis | 🔗 Link: https://www.commu.site/blog/2024/10/03/seu_ecobairro_nossa_humilhacao/

@GottaLaff @willbunch I recently came across the Benny Johnson interview of #mikedavis. It's so extreme that I first thought it was parody. It's real. It's shocking. Trump wants to name Davis acting AG on day one, bypassing Senate confirmation. He could serve for 4 months(correct me if I am wrong) without confirmation. Imagine what those 4 months, and beyond, would look like.

In case you needed one, another reminder that #DonaldTrump must be allowed nowhere near the #WhiteHouse, lest his second term make his first look like the model of probity and good governance.
Take his plan to appoint #MikeDavis as temporary AG, just long enough for a (his words) " #ReignOfTerror ," firing as many as he could from DoJ, indicting every one of Trump's perceived enemies, then leaving town with a #pardon in his pocket. :ablobfoxdundundunowo:

.> Pierre-Etienne Will has carefully reconstructed the fascinating history of the 1743–44 relief campaign from contemporary records. Under the skilled Confucian administration of Fang Guancheng, the agricultural and hydraulic expert who directed relief operations in Zhili, the renowned “ever-normal granaries” in each county immediately began to issue rations (without any labor test) to peasants in the officially designated disaster counties....
.> As Will emphasizes, this was famine defense in depth, the “last word in technology at the time.” No contemporary European society guaranteed subsistence as a human right to its peasantry (ming-sheng is the Chinese term), nor, as the Physiocrats later marveled, could any emulate “the perfect timing of [#Guancheng’s] operations: the action taken always kept up with developments and even anticipated them.”10 Indeed, while the #Qing were honoring their social contract with the peasantry, contemporary Europeans were dying in the millions from famine and hunger-related diseases following arctic winters and summer droughts in 1740–43. “The mortality peak of the early 1740s,” emphasizes an authority, “is an outstanding fact of #European demographic history.”11 In Europe’s Age of Reason, in other words, the “starving masses” were #French, #Irish and #Calabrian, not #Chinese.
#MikeDavis in #LateVictorianHolocausts presents fascinating #ComparitiveTech, #Technology and approaches to #Famine and #Poverty, #HumanRights. Policy in #China and #Europe are compared during the #AgeOfReason... #Famine #PierreEtienneWill #Zhili #FangGuancheng #ConfucianAdministration image at odds with stereotype of bureacratic #Mandarins? The book seems important to keep in mind while thinking about #TechWillSaveUs discussions.
.> Moreover “the intervention carried out in Zhili in 1743 and 1744 was not the only one of its kind in the eighteenth century, nor even the most extensive.” -

Ein Guter weniger Ich nahm ihn erst zur Kenntnis, als ich 2000-05 für MdL Thomas Rommelspacher arbeitete. Der kommt selbst von einer politisierten und praxisorientierten Stadtsoziologie, und hatte von Davis eine hohe Meinung. Die teilte ich, nachdem ich einige deutsch übersetzte Davis-Texte gelesen hatte. Sie erschienen bei der Zeit (Holtzbrinck-Konzern), die ich mir in der Pressestelle unserer NRW-Landtagsfraktion auslieh. Am meisten und besten im Gedächtnis blieb mir Davis’ Analyse der Klimakatastrophe (“Katrina”) in Louisiana und […]
