Fascist forces begin as useful for liberal bourgeois rule in times of acute crisis. For a fascist state to emerge, these same forces must gain ahold of the state. Fascists are a bourgeois protection racket. Fascism is when the racket gets ahold of the books.

The struggle for clean indoor air is as important to disability justice as wheelchair accessibility. Those who wish to win the former need to learn from the latter's strategy. (Even as wheelchair accessibility still has a long way to go.)

As we said in the last episode of Approaching Marxism, the next will look at Marx's theory of the metabolic rift.

Our upcoming film, For Land: on the capitalist mass extinction, is our priority at the moment, but keep your eyes peeled for lots more content on the environment!
