Thinking aloud on a work in progress:
John Dewey needs to be rescued from both his fans and his foes.
If one thinks of philosophy as not separated by unbridgeable gaps from either the natural sciences nor the study of society and its needs, then one is an heir to Dewey.
Paradoxically, his writings constitute not just a source but an obstacle for the best understanding of his thought.
He wrote too much; his collected works fill 76 volumes. Navigating such a plenitude of writings is a challenge in itself. Worse, navigating his notoriously turgid prose makes reading Dewey less like a voyage of discovery than a punishment march. The contrast with the stylish wit of fellow pragmatist William James or the rigorous elegance of his contemporary Bertrand Russell is painful.
Still, engage with Dewey one must if one is to understand both the problems, possibilities, and legacy of US progressive thought in the first half of the 20th century.
More to follow on this topic over the coming months.

Community is one of the only things that makes despair less convincing. Not because it magically fixes everything, but because it interrupts the lie that you are alone with the whole weight of the world. Capitalism wants us isolated because isolated people are easier to crush. Community makes us harder to erase. #Communalism #progressivism #socialism

Anti-capitalism is necessary, but it is not automatically liberatory by itself. People can hate capitalism and still love hierarchy. They can oppose empire and still excuse another empire. They can talk about the people while silencing actual people. They can use radical language to smuggle domination back into the room. That is why I care so much about the texture of community. Freedom is not just the name of the destination. It has to be in the method. #Communalism #progressivism #socialism

What if a loss is actually a win for progressives? G. Elliott Morris, exploring Jon Green's analysis of the IL-09 primary, argues that Kat Abughazaleh's strong finish reveals shifting Democratic Party dynamics that demand a closer look. Dive into G.

Europeans understand "liberalism" better than do Americans. It's the one word in American English whose misuse vexes me more than any other political lexeme. Like the Europeans, I view the "liber" part as meaning "free to work and live one's life without government interference, except to defend those freedoms". All the public-good "liberals" would do well to start calling themselves what they are: progressives.

As a progressive liberal that used to be libtarted.
By which i mean socially progressive but largely unaware of the wider systems which perpetuated systemic inequality.
There is a lot to learn within progressivism from the dialectic between the communal necessity of communist theory and the just individualistic focus of anarchist theory.

What is the moral difference between the oil industry and companies pushing generative-AI?
Both industries are using neoliberalism to make profits at the expense of negative externalities which they push on society.
Liberals need to realiase that “Capitalism” itself incentives extraction.
Whether that be directly in the case of imperialism, or indirectly in the case of appropriation of social goods that economic models fail to cost.

When I first got onto social media, I imagined it would be a space where I would speak my mind without inhibition.
in fact, I have not engaged in that uninhibited expression. Some of those inhibitions might well be salutary; I have opinions about all sorts of topics on which I am not that well informed, and on some topics on which I am reasonably well informed, the expression of my opinions might well not contribute to thoughtful discussion but just cause hurt and confusion instead.
On the other hand, I wonder if some of my inhibitions amount to little more than cowardice on my part.
Yet again, I've also wondered whether I should have exercised more restraint in some of my posting. Will I wince with shame or at least embarrassment as I look back at my posting history?
On one topic I do not regret taking a stance which I believe is unpopular on Mastodon, or at least unpopular amongst the Mastodon accounts I see - Israel/ Palestine.
Mastodon seems to me to be largely progressive space. Unfortunately, many here seem to believe that progressive political thinking implies a denial of the right of Israel to exist, in other words antizionism. Sometimes this denial is expressed in ugly and intemperate terms.
I believe that Israel has a right to exist, living alongside an independent Palestine. I believe in the two-state solution to this long and painful conflict. A refusal on the part of progressives to recognize Israel's right to exist has been one amongst many obstacles to peace in the region.
Consequently, I will not be silent about this issue, however difficult the odious policies and pronouncements of the current Israeli government make it for the two-state solution to get a hearing amongst progressives, and however many progressives here think I should be ostracized on account of my Zionist convictions .
