The US/Israeli attack on Iran is neither legal nor legitimate. These states are fully responsible for the death and destruction to follow now.

Last night, we had the pleasure of being joined by Tareq Baconi to discuss his new book 'Fire in Every Direction'. In conversation with Mai Taha and @aycacu.bsky.social, they shared their thoughts on the themes of the memoir, including political consciousness, desire and displacement.

The Poverty of Campism Notes on Solidarity and the Suspension of Judgement

New essay responding to @aycacu.bsky.social’s talk on campism and internationalism at Historical Materialism last year. I agree with much of her critique but try to push further on what a different practice might look like from Britain, and from within the Fourth International tradition.

Ayça Çubukçu offers a sharp critique of "campist" left politics and discusses the potential for an internationalism from below.

I wrote this before the recent uprising in Iran, and the massacre of thousands that followed. On @versobooks.bsky.social blog, the talk I gave at @histmat.bsky.social-London conference in November 2025.

The "incompetence" of international law in the face of imperial aggression is part and parcel of that law. Law's empire has been empire's law. #Venezuela

I think of Graeber and Wengrow's "The Dawn of Everything" every day. It's a long book so if you've been meaning to read it or simply can't read a long book right now – understandable – here's a lovely paper by Ayça Çubukçu about its principles & Graeber's work.
