Would you like a place to discuss your favorite radical works with comrades weekly? Would you like to be exposed to more revolutionary theory? Would you like a place to share your own writings, poems or journalism? Then join the Literature Club! All leftists are welcome!
Of all my work so far, I am probably most proud of bsky.app/profile/redl... a nonsectarian, kickass space for Leftists to learn and grow. If you are following me I strongly suggest following the club account too. Send a DM if you would like to join!

I should write the argument up properly somewhere, but I think this is fundamentally wrong. A decisive fraction of the capitalist class does oppose addressing the climate crisis, but *not* because it would be bad for profits. If anything, a green New Deal type program would raise aggregate profits.
Yes, this is correct. And the reason is because our capitalist classes have decided that it is not sufficiently profitable, so they're not going to do it.
We must understand this reality. Capital *cannot* be relied upon to address the climate crisis.

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

The Democratic Party is historically unpopular with its own voters.
Caving to Trump and getting nothing in return will only bring these numbers down further.
It’s a historic failure—and an opportunity to push for changes to the electoral system.

Democratic Party hits lowest approval in over 30 years: Poll
The only policy areas where Democrats outperform Republicans in the new poll from the Wall Street Journal are health care and vaccine policy.

From MeidasTouch Legal AF: The Convicted FElon DOJ is now deleting court documents on J6 terrorists who have been in trouble with law repeatedly. The DOJ was caught when a judge noticed a document missing on a J6'er, who wanted to bomb Obama's home & was convicted for it. I bet these are ICE now.

"Torment Nexus" comes from this tweet and is often used now to describe the kind of negative experiences you can have with social networks, like getting dogpiled or harassed or being pushed into conflict

It is so lucky for Democrats that this kind of discourse is no longer on Twitter where the national media and politicians would see it. Better for it to be sealed off in this asylum. This is genuinely just insane.
Robert Byrd seemed to genuinely repent for his past and spent decades atoning for it, to the point where the NAACP mourned his death as the loss of a civil rights champion. People can indeed change.
But there's no sign of a similar arc of sincere repentance and reckoning in Platner's case.

Low-intensity warfare is uncanny. We continue to go to work, bring kids to school, shop for groceries, etc. But our everyday routines are punctuated by random episodes of spectacular violence; war as a way of life.
Scenes From the Occupation
As the feds cracked down on immigration in Chicago this fall, filmmaker Carlos Javier Ortiz’s camera was rolling. These stills and footage show a city in crisis — and a city defiant.

"Isn’t it a bit strange that no cause has apparently rallied more American rabbis — not Gaza; not Musk's antisemitic AI; not DHS sharing antisemitic dogwhistles; not ICE kidnapping people off the street — than opposition to a Muslim, Democratic socialist mayoral candidate who is not pro-Israel?"
The rabbinic backlash against Zohran Mamdani isn’t about Mamdani at all
Since the tenuous ceasefire began, rabbis are struggling to reckon with the impact of the last two years. Mamdani is an easy outlet.

If you are an anti-imperialist who is active in opposing American imperialism abroad and the genocide in Gaza, I will not critique you for taking a consistent anti-imperialist stance. But if you are merely a liberal, who generally supports the Dem establishment, your faves have all done worse.
