Daniel Bessner sent me an advanced copy of his forthcoming "Imperialist Realism: Politics and Culture at the End of the American Century". Applying his ideas to the new Superman movie in a sort-of double review led to some really interesting results:

Big thanks to

Putting aside Israelās intent to forcibly displace Palestinians there: Somaliland is part of a UN state. Recognising it would violate Article 2(4), which prohibits threats to the territorial integrity of other states. Absolutely shameful that Labour politicians are backing this illegal outcome.

Netanyahu flew to the US over Greece, Italy and France, three ICC members who failed to act upon his arrest warrant. Europe just showed how disposable international law is when allies are involved. Shameful.

As senior Labour MPs call on Starmer to strip Alaa Abd el-Fattah of his British citizenship, itās hard to stomach that the same figures host pro-Israel lobbyists who deny that Palestine even exists.

Leeds trams have been delayed until at least the late 2030s. The government did this āafter an independent review, commissioned by the combined authority (WYCA)ā Their press release doesnāt even say who the reviewer was. Classic accountability sink.

The level of Islamophobia in this country is terrifying. Labour just criminalised an Arabic word and launched a dogwhistle probe into ālinks between ethnicity and child rape,ā while His Majestyās Opposition claims recognising Islamophobia would āmake tackling tough issues harder.ā

Retreat is not the answer. Ethnonationalism is not the answer. Israel is not the answer. We build safety through solidarity: an anti-racism based on mutual self-interest and collective liberation. We defeat antisemitism, together.

This week Labour pledged to investigate ethnic disposition to child rape. Shocking racism for sure, but the clues were there. In 2023, Forde KC said Labour ignored his finding that anti-Black racism & Islamophobia werenāt taken seriously by the party. Labourās response? They threatened to sue him.
