The rules-based international order? No, no. It is really the US commands-based international order.

Canada having to take the names off the Victims of Communism memorial because there were too many Nazis is perhaps a good moment for some reflection on how many Nazis were welcomed here after WWII.

Historians raised alarms years ago. Ottawa changed course only after the memorial opened.

I can’t believe Asad Haider has passed away. His book Mistaken Identity from 2018 on how identity politics is a neoliberal construction to neutralize anti racism and progressive movements was so cynically maligned by some real humanities grifters.. We needed his voice. RIP. What a loss

RIP to Asad Haider— a great excerpt I came across earlier today from another individual below
Emancipatory politics, in my view, begins with a decision. Not some kind of decision about who your friends and enemies are, but a decision about people's capacity. Are people equal, and are people capable of governing themselves? These are not questions subject to proof. But once we've made a decision about emancipatory politics, we have to see that as antagonism in the whole history of political thought. Marx was not the first to say that everyone should rule; he was a careful student of the history of politics, and even if he came more and more to restrict his scientific analysis to the specificity of the capitalist mode of production, he understood that the question of emancipation appears across time and across worlds. If you can't take that position, if you're unwilling to make a decision on emancipation and instead resort to the laws of historical necessity and their liberal supplement, then you've ended up far away from Marx himself, no matter how fervently you might claim to be a Marxist.

Ayer publicamos un tema interesantísimo en @es.theconversation.com de @danielpalacios.bsky.social sobre la resignificación del Valle de los Caídos. Bastante apasionante la discusión. theconversation.com/tiene-fundam...
¿Tiene fundamentos científicos la resignificación del Valle de los Caídos?
“La base y la cruz” convertirá el monumento en un espacio de “diálogo” y “democrático”. Pero la historia del arte, la sociología y la psicología demuestran lo contrario.
