this article by alex hochuli nails the problems with antifascism as a left strategy under neoliberalism. obviously we have to protect ourselves & our communities from cops & the far right, but that doesn't constitute a political vision. fascism doesn't appear to be the weapon of capital in the 21st century, but pretending it is lets liberals play as defenders of the "democratic" status quo.

i'm thinking about these threads on WSB and /biz/ of people congratulating folks who sold their GME or DOGE to pay medical bills. if they had just *asked* for the money, would these ancaps have obliged? no, it has to be "won" from them in an absurd game of chicken.

some birds are funny when they talk

honestly seething that WSB got me to visit reddit for the first time in months

i can't find a good source for this but it sounds legit and would be funny if true

"I have, which will surprise you not a little, been speculating — partly in American funds, but more especially in English stocks, which are springing up like mushrooms this year (in furtherance of every imaginable and unimaginable joint stock enterprise), are forced up to quite an unreasonable level and then, for the most part, collapse. In this way, I have made over £400"

the ballad of tased-ballman

mike davis on how marxists should respond to intensifying state repression (from The Antifada episode 125):

"the movement needs to grow through creating survival niches for young radical poor people, working class people... we have to create an infrastructure that gives people opportunities and survival resources, jobs and income... we need to nurture class fighters, and we need to nurture resistance in the communities that are most ready and able to fight."
