It's kind of incredible that Israel can launch hundreds of airstrikes and a ground invasion of a country that it isn't at war at, and that no one has attacked it form. And it's just taken for granted, there's not even a discussion of it. mondoweiss.net/2024/12/insi...

One thing I think people talking about the threat of authoritarian creep have gotten, if not exactly wrong, not quite right either is to frame discussion in terms of various European precedents.
Those are relevant to be sure, but we also have an American precedent - namely the South before 1965.

It's not that a self-coordinating market is bad, but that it can't exist, and the delusion it can (even as a coherent benchmark) *is* bad--both for its direct normative implications and for its indirect effect on how we argue for egalitarian policies and frankly also what we think is possible
Because he muddles the difference between the ideology and the actual existence of a "self regulating market" and treats social construction as a special case only important for "fictitious commodities" because "real commodities" behave "neoclassically"
