How do we build a majority willing to look beyond the nation-state? The time has clearly come to move past a world organised around states. The state system is one of the core structures sustaining violent capitalism and imperialism. It’s heartbreaking to see the state being prioritised above people

The US aggression against Venezuela is naked imperialism. All pretext has been exposed as farce. An invasion would cause tens of thousands of deaths. Every sane person must oppose this madness.

Remember that the US *does not care* about the people of Venezuela. It is not about "narcotrafficking", or "democracy", or whatever propaganda they have going. It is *explicitly* about US control over oil, capital accumulation, and geopolitical power.

Over and over the US inflicts obscene violence against the global South, in flagrant violation of international law, to maintain the conditions for capital accumulation for its decadent billionaire class. It's disgusting and intolerable. We cannot continue to accept this.

Get active - organise! Find your local party or organisation

Bombing Venezuela while coordinating a genocide in Palestine while threatening to attack Iran (again) while destabillizing Somalia while carrying out a heist in the DRC...

US imperialism is the greatest threat to peace and security in our world today and it's not even close.

On Stepping Back to Stay Grounded in a Time of Rising Fascism On organising, burnout, and resistance under rising authoritarianism

I wrote this for my group chats but wanted to share it more widely. Living under a far-right-influenced government in Sweden, I reflect on why stepping back from constant reaction is sometimes necessary to stay grounded, strategic, and capable of long-term resistance.

Lawyers cannot salvage a system that functions precisely as designed. Lawyers operate within legal frameworks produced by the states that benefit from repression. Many lawyers know this intimately: open.substack.com/pub/adamlant...

No Political Party Is Coming to Save Us (Yet) — Let Me Explain Why Why Building a Democratic And Socialist Economy Should Be Our Only Focus.

Not yet. Not if we don’t build it.
Social Democracy will never fix Capitalism.
Because it can’t be fixed.
It will surrender to capital every single time.
Reposting one of my most thorough pieces I have written on the topic.

Okey. Men out there. Orange week is coming to its end. If you haven’t read bell hooks book ”the will to change: men, masculinity, and love”. I ask you why not?

Men. If we can’t love ourselves then we are the problem, this book is a start. 🧡🍑

Regeringen vill ge polisen AI för ansiktsigenkänning Regeringen vill ge polisen möjlighet att använda AI för ansiktsigenkänning i realtid. Tekniken ska användas bland annat för att hitta brottsoffer och för att förhindra och utreda allvarliga brott, men...

Regeringen går vidare med förslaget om att polisen ska få använda AI-ansiktsigenkänning. Det är ett förslag som göder rasism och kränker mänskliga rättigheter. AI-ansiktsigenkänning har 100 gånger (!) så hög sannolikhet att felidentifiera svarta och bruna människors ansikten.

Well said!

Säg vad ni vill. Tro vad ni vill. Kämpa för vad ni vill. Men detta är en mäktig rubrik ❤️

This ”ceasefire” is terrible for Palestinians. Don’t be whitewashed or westernised that this is progress. It’s only progress for USA, Israel and the western leaders that will score points to continue its crime.

Once social change begins it cannot be reversed, you cannot un-educate the person who has learned to read, you cannot humiliate the person who feels pride, you cannot oppress the people who are not afraid anymore.
—Cesar Chavez

"We are behind you.
What does it mean?
Are you walking as an army of moral warriors behind me?
Or are you just hiding?
Is expressing support toward me the best you can do to contribute to end this genocide that has our fingerprints all over it."

- Francesca Albanese, 16th of July 2025

It’s wild how much money the far-right are willing to throw away just to keep adults, youth, and children locked up. Imagine investing in a society where people can live without shame, fear, or hunger.
And don’t even get me started on what they waste on arms and war. #imperialism #nato #antiwar

If advocating for human rights makes one a 'terrorist,' then only the Global North - and particularly the US and Israel - should be allowed to be named after that term.

If the world does not act now — if it does not draw the line here — then the entire international system, including its liberal institutions and treaties, is revealed as a hollow empire of double standards.

I’ll speak plainly.

If the genocide in Gaza and a potential nuclear attack on Iran is not enough for the so-called democratic West to justify a global insurgency against the Israeli state to dismantle it, then no such justification for any insurgence, can ever exist.

The Price of Belonging: Europe’s Golden Passports and Hidden Borders Malta’s passport scheme is stirring the hornet’s nest. This is a story about exclusion, inequality, and the right to citizenship.

The Court of Justice of the recent ruling on Malta’s citizenship-by-investment scheme is more than a legal footnote. It’s a spotlight on the commodification of belonging.

Too Little, Too Late: Media Complicity in Genocide Gaza’s genocide is no accident: The system profits from our silence

A genocide, live-streamed,
and the cameras blinked away.
Guilt is too bloodless a word.

Fascinated how cool and natural it is today to just go about your own business looking fancy.

Caring and showing some civil courage is frowned upon - like who do you think you are? Is a common thought among the majority who are silently criticising people that stand up and care.

When billionaires say 'pro free market' they can make it sound like they are on the side of the consumer, who will naturally think of free competition, product improvement and price reduction. But they don't mean free competition, because that needs tough regulation to stop monopolies forming.

This idea that progressives need to be more like conservatives or the far right to attract voters? No, thank you. I don’t want to prey on vulnerable people’s fears or be fooled by rich people’s vulgarity.
