A good analysis of the way that the MAGA civil war that a lot of people have been talking about isn't only about antisemitism (though it's clearly about that too) but also about broader neoliberal policy issues.

Flashback: February 28, 2025

"The 'dismantling' that is currently occurring in the US and other states in the metropole represents a clear program of eliminating the welfare aspects of the state and reducing its less aggressive international interventions, while further expanding the reach of capital, particularly big tech capital. The mass layoffs we are seeing are meant to weaken precisely those elements of the state that are not useful to the rapacious extension of big capital’s grip on every aspect of society and the economy.

None of this amounts to a de facto weakening of the American state. Depending on popular response, either a strengthening or a weakening of the state are possible outcomes. Of course, neither the strengthening or weakening of the state necessarily means a parallel strengthening or weakening of capital.

The key immediate issue is how this impacts real people’s real lives and how we position ourselves in relation to that.

Clearly, lobbying for social reforms is not our wheelhouse. We should be articulating a viable anti-capitalist option in such a way that people can see it as both possible and realistic. We currently lack the elements necessary to do so: a clear revolutionary position around which the far left can cohere; an interested, informed, and involved audience open to our ideas; the capacity to insert ourselves in unfolding struggles in a way that allows us to provide some degree of ideological and practical leadership."

This is the best analysis of the contemporary American political economics situation that I've been able to find so far. If anybody here knows of a better one, please share. Thanks in advance.

Matthew Lyons’ writing has had a huge impact on my thinking - #ThreeWayFight analysis, recognizing red-brown politics, criticism of liberal anti “extremism” - the list goes on.

His recent interview with @lastborn on the 2024 election is a must listen for anarchists and anti-fascists.

Great analysis from #ThreeWayFight about how Trump and the MAGA movement have changed since 2016 - removing the barrier between the corporate GOP and the far-Right and also finding some elites willing to back and fund its authoritarian project.

"...having tried once already to overturn the results of a presidential election by force, MAGA forces can be expected to do so again if they don’t win outright, as in 2020-21 using some combination of propaganda, bogus legal challenges, and physical attacks to discredit and challenge the election—but this time in a more organized and systematic way."

New Zine: Power Punch

"The point of exposing a fascist is the implicit threat of a reckoning to come for the fascist and the threat which we consider them. If we aren’t following through after the dox, our threat is hollow and puts us at a disadvantage moving forward. In other words, all bark and no bite does not get the goods. It renders the bark useless.

...

This is a call for the antifascist movement to renew directly combative strategies and actions against organizing fascists. This is also a call for the antifascist movement to re-establish itself as an effective social movement by actively building a broad base rooted in the three-way fight and revolutionary anarcha-feminist positions and furthering our discourse through both theory and material engagement."

“Palestine solidarity in the U.S. is an essentially grassroots-based, popular mobilization encompassing a range of political actors. But in NCRI’s telling it’s a sleek vehicle driven by covert operators—malevolent outsiders who use their money to direct passive masses of people for their own ends.”
