Its called Communism.

Yeah, AGAIN, I AM BEGGING: can we just SKIP the fascism part and go direct to UBI and UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE. PLEASE. PLEEEAAASE.

@degrowthinfo.bsky.social loool plz tag me in the pooost

#Delinking is the strategic fulcrum; (justice-centred) #degrowth is its indispensable ally. Chuffed to have the ISEE special session presentation out on @degrowthinfo.bsky.social :) 🤓

"If we organise, if we delink, if we pair Northern degrowth with Southern sovereignty, we can redirect the planet’s abundant resources away from imperial accumulation and toward collective flourishing" writes Sara al Mahdi in our first blog post in our new series about #delinking.

Sorry but like when i look at climate scientists who have only spoken out now about the genocide or have not spoken out while they mouth off about climate non stop. I just wanna spit on them. Fuck each of you honestly.

Join the 1st ever #Delinking Fest 🌺 #Feminists & allies from the #GlobalSouth will share strategies for delinking from #capitalism, imperialism, #colonialism, building economies centred on justice. 📅 Fri, Oct 24 | 10-130 #CDMX 💻 #Hybrid ✨ @jasonhickel.bsky.social + more Register bit.ly/DELINKING

Universal basic income is too serious a matter to leave to economists: "the research reveals that #ubi secures daily survival, improves performance of daily occupations, increases care and social engagement, and raises hope through opportunities to choose and plan for the future." @scottsantens.com

Most pleased to be seeing so much more intelligent discussion around Unconditional Universal Basic Income compared to years past. Here's hoping for the tipping point that makes it happen for the world.

#Denmark politicians wage a #culture #war on #academia —with @roskildeuni.bsky.social as their go-to target. These attacks are assaults on #freedom, #rights and #democracy. We spoke out: @berlingske.bsky.social : www.berlingske.dk/synspunkter/... @politiken.dk : politiken.dk/debat/debati...

Tony Blair’s catastrophic decision to invade Iraq cost thousands upon thousands of lives. He shouldn’t be anywhere near the Middle East, let alone Gaza. It is not up to Blair, Trump or Netanyahu to decide the future of Gaza. That is up to the people of Palestine.

Israel represents nothing more than genocide, scholasticide, politicide, memoricide. We can certainly add other “cides” to this list.

Hi everyone, I'm excited to announce this new project: a website dedicated to research and data on imperialism and inequality. You're going to love this... globalinequality.org

Honest question: if AI inevitably hits the job market like a tsunami that impacts all sectors and classes, would it be enough to finally mobilize the electorate to demand fully funded UBI and greater social safety nets across the line? One can hope

Beneath all the propaganda, all the nice words about human rights and equality and international law, this is it. This is the material manifestation of Western values.

📝Part 2 of my blog series on growth is out now at @positivemoneyuk.bsky.social 📉Having discussed social and environmental harms of growth in part 1, this one focuses on the decreasing feasibility of growth in the current economic context positivemoney.org/uk/update/th... #degrowth #postgrowth

Talked #Degrowth basics and yet again deconstructed #GDP and its unfitness for purpose in this quick 30 min podcast here: open.spotify.com/episode/4VDm...

As Israel inflicts mass starvation on Gaza and now openly plans to carry out ethnic cleansing, the editorial board of the Financial Times has issued a statement saying that the US and Europe “should be ashamed of their silence” and must act to stop Israel’s crimes.

When the US ruling class says that something poses a threat to the "American way of life", what they actually mean is it poses a threat to the interests of US capital accumulation.

Palestinian babies are not spontaneously freezing to death. They are being deliberately subjected to conditions calculated to terminate life. In other words, they are being murdered. The cause of death is not the cold, but the genocide being perpetrated by Israel and the US.

Here’s a quick roundup of highlights from research we published in 2024, on unequal exchange, ecosocialism, and post-capitalist transformation. As always, free PDFs are available via the link at the end of the thread. 🧵

Every week I get several emails from people asking "what should I do?". Everyone can contribute in different ways, but the basics are fairly straightforward: join a union, work toward the creation of a mass-based ecosocialist party, and develop anti-imperialist solidarities.

"I will do such things— What they are, yet I know not, but they shall be The terrors of the earth!"

Western audiences can’t resist pinkwashing Israel. It’s been part of the propaganda for a long time and yet people still fall for it.

"It is because I am Palestinian that I can tell you that objectivity—in history-writing, in the archives, in museums—does not exist."

The Onion 2014 vs. New York Times 2023

The myth of Western humanity died in Gaza. The myth of Western democracy died in Gaza. The myth of Western progress died in Gaza.

First day of school with @jasonhickel.bsky.social 🤓

"This is really long overdue."

“The subtext being that imperialism couldn’t have been all that bad if Europe endowed the world with its future.”

“The slow death of the European imperial project has been delayed by stubborn cultural chauvinism; a hard-to-expunge belief that, ultimately, the future of the world is some form of liberal democracy, seen as an inheritance of European enlightenment.” blogs.lse.ac.uk/europpblog/2...

“We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art, and very often in our art, the art of words.” - Ursula K. Le Guin

I heard this line at #ClimateWeekNYC in someone’s speech and can‘t get it out of my mind anymore: ‘The choice we’re now facing is quite straightforward: each additional ton of CO2 will either be mitigated by someone or suffered by someone.‘

What are carbon offsets? How are they supposed to work? How can things go wrong? Team Carbon Brief have answers in this brilliant in-depth Q&A, inc this handy diagram: interactive.carbonbrief.org/carbon-offse...
