"A basic diff I would say between left & right is the diff b/w historicizing & naturalizing. If you’re on the left, broadly speaking, you look at things & you say, what are the historical material reasons why that is happening? if you’re on the right, you say that is what it is.” - Michael Brooks

"After removing restrictions on weapons exports.. Germanys signed the largest weapons export deal in Israels history"
The point of the 'ceasefire'. Not to stop genocide but to allow countries to more easily resist calls to put pressure on Israel & reverse actions already taken

I think most people have a "will to dignity". They don’t want to see themselves as victims, but as people with agency, no matter how rough things get. The woke left strips that away by patronizing them and that’s exactly why the working class can’t stand them.

The wolves in sheep’s clothing party, die Grünen, play cheap politics against social democrats(die Linke). Stupid of me that it took so long to realize they were always a neocon FDP coated in pseudo-environmentalism&-humanism, serving the patronizing PMC and their green capitalists.

It has not always been the case, but there’s definitely now a debate on the left on the topic of nuclear energy. I tried to compose the most compact “case for” on climate, labor, and reliability grounds (as well as answer the questions posed by critics).

The Socialist Case for Nuclear Power
Nuclear energy is still regarded with skepticism. But nuclear power’s critics wildly overstate its dangers, and preserving and expanding this energy source is essential to a just green transition.

Look I think Chibber's basically right that class materialism explains working class behavior way better than the ideology first stuff Zizek does. Most workers aren't confused about their situation. Your average taxi driver or warehouse worker knows exactly what they're dealing with.

If even the Koch bros funded libertarian think tank says mass immigration weakens unions & helps exploit workers, socialists should face reality. Drop the open borders utopia and argue for humane, anti racist, controlled immigration & not let the far right own the issue.

If socialism ever happens, it’s going to happen in western liberal democracies first, where productive forces already exist and liberal institutions can at least partially contain elite domination. The whole third world socialism fantasy is basically over.

Die Linke and its supporters shouldn’t focus their energy on trying to convert voters from the Greens, SPD, CDU/CSU, or FDP. Those voters are largely spoken for & that effort isn’t likely to go very far. The more important task is engaging with AfD voters and people who don’t vote at all.

If MMT is supposedly a hoax, like neoliberals keep telling us, then why are places like Kyoto University inviting @billmitchell.org to do research in Japan and why has he literally spoken in the Diet?
