Working the conjuncture! @adamtooze.bsky.social brings me back to the classrooms, supervisor meetings and bars of my PhD with this discussion of conjuctural analysis using @jamiepeck.bsky.social 's work. Could hear Jamie's voice in my head while reading this.

The Unlikely Resistance in Turkey
Turkey’s main opposition party has long been a centrist and unradical force. But the jailing of Istanbul mayor Ekrem İmamoğlu has forced it into a more activist posture as it faces a growing mass move...

This is absolutely horrifying. Turkish graduate at Tufts student is picked up and removed to undisclosed destination by ICE, apparently because she wrote a pro-Palestinian oped.
RUMEYSA OZTURK KIDNAPPING VIDEO

Here is a video of federal agents detaining Tufts University PhD student Rumeysa Ozturk Tuesday night.

Rumeysa was abducted as she was heading to meet with friends to break her Ramadan fast.

The global significance of the protests in Turkey:
1) The world is shifting to the far right and Erdoğan is the only far-right leader in an electorally competitive context who has had an uninterrupted 23-year rule.
2) There were several electoral victories, uprisings and coup attempts against him.++

Onion-like repression in 🇹🇷:

"Lawyers of students, who were detained while protesting the detention of Istanbul mayor İmamoğlu, have been detained."

NEW: Elon Musk’s X has suspended accounts of Turkish opposition groups, suppressing footage of anti-government protests.

So, best we share all the footage we can here!

This was last night’s massive demo against Erdogan’s government, which follows the arrest of his rival Ekrem İmamoğlu.

$12bn spent defending the lira is a band-aid on a deep wound from Erdoğan's political and economic coup. İmamoğlu’s arrest exposes the fragile, investor-averse system Erdoğan has created, where short-term fixes only worsen long-term instability.

Turkish youth, watching their future slip away, are rising up across the country. The hopelessness forced on them is turning into the building blocks of something new. Ekrem İmamoğlu's arrest has set off their long-brewing anger.

In Capital vol. 3, Marx writes that he wants to examine capitalism in its "idealen Durchschnitt." This is usually translated as "ideal average," but I believe a more accurate translation would be "ideal cross-section." I think this is a geological metaphor rather than a mathematical one. 1/5
