Giving a guest lecture on the fetish in Marx today based on my forthcoming book. Happy to guest lecture in your class on this or the fetish in Lukacs, Adorno or Lefebvre.

a 'ceasefire', where one side has an overwhelming military advanage, almost total effective control of the territory and arrogates itself the ability to declare when the 'ceasefire' has been breached, to which it can respond with military violence.

Great.

Revisionism Revisited Losurdo revised Marx, Engels, and Lenin whenever their theories did not conform to the faits accompli of actually-existing socialism.

Our (with @ncgeehan.bsky.social) piece on #UEFA/#FIFA's failure to sanction the #Israel Football Association is out @josimarfootball.bsky.social.

We argue that they are unethical in the name of neutrality, applying unjustifiable double standards to Russia & Israel, & failing to enforce their rules.

The migrant soldiers - josimarfootball.com For months, the Russian army has secretly recruited hundreds, if not thousands, of jobless migrant workers in Qatar to fight on the frontline against Ukraine.

Qatar's labour market shrank after the World Cup.

Recruiters in Doha are now targeting migrant workers to serve on the Ukrainian front for Putin’s army.

Story from Doha for @josimarfootball.bsky.social with @bobbyperu.bsky.social.

Donald Trump’s vision for Gaza’s future: what a leaked plan tells us about US regional strategy A glossy 38-page plan for the redevelopment of Gaza envisages a futuristic mix of smart manufacturing, luxury resorts and the ‘voluntary relocation’ of Palestinians.

Comrade @rafeefz.bsky.social once again showing how to do incisive materialist analysis of Palestine.

It's short, but it sharply traces out how accumulation strategies are shaping the future of Gaza, and how these limit and condition any future 'statehood'.

Theory of the Party • Ill Will Phil A. Neel on the invariant features of communist revolutionary organization.

If you are into forms of org, this intervention by Neel has been stuck in my head for few days. It links question of concrete organizing to ”the” question of organization (what it even is). Well worth checking out imo

1. When we are thinking about race and racism, we *do* need a materialist account.

We can't just imagine that these are 'ideas' which people.

And we also can't imagine these are responses to 'real' racial categories.

Halifax police, RCMP, CSIS say they were not involved in Davis Cup decision Tennis Canada had said that intelligence received from authorities prompted decision to keep spectators out

And there’s the smoking gun: Tennis Canada collaborated with Israeli intelligence to ban spectators from the Davis Cup match.

(Obviously in order to prevent images of anti-genocide protest spectacle that would have been broadcast around the world.)

Spanska sportpressen är hyfsat eniga om de antiisraeliska protester som skakar en av världens tre största cykeltävlingar, La Vuelta: Israel borde uteslutas ur internationella tävlingar på grund av folkmordet (ja, de använder det ordet). Skillnaden mot medieklimatet i Sverige kunde inte vara större.
