Just got the new issue of BreakDown. I’ve got an essay in it on the strategic vulnerabilities and liabilities of fossil capital. Read it and the rest of the issue here: www.break-down.org/merging-to-s...

Britain doesn’t need a cookie cutter of Zohran Mamdani. It needs politicians who serve the people, not the machine. Who’d rather lose power than lose conviction. We had that with Jeremy in 2017. We have it again with Zack Polanski. Me on LBC:

To mark David Harvey’s 90th, Verso is releasing a collection of reflections on his remarkable body of work. They invited me to write about The Condition of Postmodernity, a book that reshaped how we think about capitalism and culture.

I’m presenting some new work on factory machinery, gender, and social reproduction, how the rhythms of the machine rewire the rhythms of life. Historical Materialism, London Thurs Nov 6, 4:30 – 6:15.

My article in @the-breakdown.bsky.social is now free to read online! While far-right parties have traditionally ignored climate, I explore how the Sweden Democrats embrace it as a wedge issue, creating redistributive conflicts around class & urban-rural divides: www.break-down.org/petrol-for-t...

"The more disruption occurs, the more financial models adapt to expect it. This means that every disruption is effective, whether or not it stops a project outright. Even when it looks like we’re losing, we’re shifting the risk landscape"

My dad on South Indian TV, tore into the criminal Zionist state, shredding the US empire’s lies, and hailing Iran and Yemen as the last ones with a spine for Palestine. Watch: youtu.be/jI30B0-t3Zc?...

Great talk, great moves, 10/10, Danish marxism recommend @brosef-stalin.bsky.social

Had an incredible time in Aarhus. Huge thanks to the Danish Society for Marxist Studies (@dkmarxsoc.bsky.social) organizing committee for the kind invitation

Our second keynote is underway! @brosef-stalin.bsky.social is speaking on changing trends of factory capital, fossil capital, war capital, and maritime capital - and possibilities for disruption 👊💥

My first @dkmarxsoc.bsky.social conference in the books. Today’s keynote by @brosef-stalin.bsky.social was definitely one of the highlights of the weekend. Learned a lot & got to meet so many great people. I’ll definitely be back!

A wonderful and wild ride of a keynote by @brosef-stalin.bsky.social at this year’s conference by @dkmarxsoc.bsky.social, it’s 10th anniversary!

@brosef-stalin.bsky.social implicating Denmark at @dkmarxsoc.bsky.social . Great talk.

A superb essay by Ashok Kumar from the latest issue of the BREAK–DOWN – a brilliant tour of the political economic terrain of fossil capital, from which springs essential strategic advice for activists. A must read!

I wrote an extended essay on the transformation of the fossil fuel industry and the key vulnerabilities it exposes. These weaknesses are baked into the industry’s own logic of risk. In essence, every disruption matters. Here: t.co/tQvg4qDeJe

“The consolidation of fossil fuel firms is creating an ever more fragile and exposed system.” ASHOK KUMAR (@brosef-stalin.bsky.social) finds new points of leverage in a more concentrated fossil fuel industry for ISSUE #2 FRONTIERS. Read the full essay👇

Brilliant.

People broke out of their concentration camp. It’s extremely easy for people who are not living under occupation to throw stones.🤷‍♀️ I think of my ancestors. Britain hung and labelled the likes of Bhagat Singh as “terrorists.” A bit of a colonial speciality to do that to the resistance.

Just a reminder: the Additional Protocols of the Geneva Conventions make it clear: occupied peoples have the right to resist, even with arms. An occupier has no right to defend their occupation:

I’m running a workshop on the arms industry at the day school this weekend. If you’re in Bristol, register and come along! Here: t.co/AAT6IYyjMd

I go on this atrocious show purely for catharsis. It’s therapeutic to yell at a genocide apologist:

Julia Hartley-Brewer and Benjamin Butterworth discuss me post interview “Ashok and I were at London School of Economics together and he was always talking about Palestine and hating Israel then” Yes, because it didn’t start on October 7

Six months ago, I was invited to serve as an expert witness at the public hearing on Karnataka’s landmark gig workers bill, which has now passed. The law extends protections to over two million gig workers in the state. An important step, though it doesn’t go far enough

Pre-orders are now up for the newest issue of The Break-Down. I have an essay in there on fossil fuel infrastructure and disruption www.break-down.org

🚨COMRADES!🚨 It's finally time to register for the 10th Danish conference for marxist studies on oct.10th-11th through link below! This year the theme is on "Abolition" and we are so 🎉HYPED🎉 for this year's line-up which includes our great keynotes @genderhorizon.com and @brosef-stalin.bsky.social 🔥

The people of Gaza live and chant “If they uproot one tree, we will plant ten in its place” as the zombie death cult approaches

Accusations of antisemitism against Zarah and Jeremy don’t have the mileage they did in 2019. Back then, the press ran stories about Corbyn mispronouncing a pedophile’s name. Epstein. Ep-shtine. The real crime wasn’t sex trafficking, it was the wrong vowel Me for BreakThrough News:

The choice we have in the new left party is simple: democracy or bureaucracy. Its founding conference must have one-member-one-vote, directly elected leadership, and a constitution written by members. If not, we risk repeating the failures of Labourism. Me for BreakThrough News:

Spoke with Matt Myers for Jacobin about his new book The Halted March of the European Left, asking why the left’s surge stalled and what lessons it offers for today jacobin.com/2025/08/euro...

I’ll be speaking at the Stop the War meeting at TUC Conference, September 9 in Brighton. If you’re there, come through

6 months ago, I was invited to serve as an expert witness during a hearing of this bill. Today, it’s passed! a big win for gig workers

Thrilled to have Dr Ashok Kumar (@brosef-stalin.bsky.social) for tonights Normal Island. Make sure you watch us at 7:30pm! www.youtube.com/live/Z72zJcX...

Half a million in! You’re not? Fix it: yourparty.uk

France “recognising” Palestine is empty symbolism while they arm, fund, and enable Israel’s campaign of extermination. Words mean nothing without full sanctions. Now.

Discussed the new Left party led by Corbyn and Sultana. 230,000 people signed up in 24hrs. Millions want to tax the rich, end the wars, redistribute wealth, and build a country that serves people, not billionaires. They can smear, they can panic, but they can’t stop a movement whose time has come:

The debate on BBC Radio over Israel’s war crimes and Britain’s complicity got heated. I lost my cool. Hard not to when the Israeli propagandist kept lying again and again to justify atrocities

Clip from my BBC debate with an Israeli propagandist, where I lay out the overwhelming evidence of Israel’s war crimes and the British government’s complicity.

News that Blair planned to profit from the ethnic cleansing of Gaza should shock no one. As the saying goes: when there’s blood on the streets, buy property! The man’s a ghoul. He should’ve been rotting in a Hague dungeon years ago:

The strategy against Zohran now is the same shock-and-awe playbook used against Jeremy Corbyn. It won’t convince anyone who isn’t already convinced. If any Zohran advisors happen to read this: DO NOT CONCEDE OR APOLOGISE. The pressure is intense but just ride it out and hold firm

Speaking at this with others

Iran hasn’t invaded another country in 300 years. Israel has bombed a half a dozen in the past month. This was from the last time Israel bombed Iran and Iran defended themselves. The arguments still stand:

Like that Japanese soldier still fighting WWII decades later—some are still pushing Israeli propaganda even the IDF has moved on from. Then comes the sidekick citing random Twitter videos. Pressed for real sources? Just word salad. You’ve got to laugh.

Asked Israel propagandist Julia Hartley-Brewer to name one organisation that backs Israel’s claim that “Hamas steals food” claim Her brain: buffering… Still buffering… Nothing. Just pure uncut propaganda

Corbyn’s bill calling for an independent public inquiry into Britain’s role in Israel’s genocide in Gaza just passed its first reading. It’s now on the order paper for July 4. Contact your MP and demand they support it.

Went on the Evening Standard’s podcast to discuss the US federal court ruling against Trump’s tariffs: open.spotify.com/episode/5yTt...

The book is very good and this review is very good too.

My take on Quinn Slobodian’s Hayek’s Bastards, framed through four provocations: www.versobooks.com/blogs/news/q...

In school I remember seeing an image of the My Lai massacre in history class and feeling horrified. In 1968 U.S. soldiers raped and murdered hundreds of Vietnamese women and children. For nearly 20 months now, Israel has committed atrocities in Gaza that echo My Lai—almost daily
