Comrades Known and Elsewhere | Heatwave When Joshua passed away in late April, social media was filled with a cornucopia of similar stories from those lucky enough to see him in his element: at the riot, the occupation, the barricade.

We Can Fight This: Minnesota’s General Strike Shows How A day before Alex Pretti’s brutal killing by federal agents in the Minneapolis steets, Minnesota showed us a way forward: the general strike.

“The general strike is the name for when the riot, the strike, and the commune all happen at once,” late theorist Joshua Clover said..."that’s the day, the week, or the year where there will be a role for everyone.” There is a role for everyone; that time must be now theintercept.com/2026/01/24/s...

solidarity to those who fight fascism everywhere

"The flaming Waymo, then, is not a symbol of nebulous or even misdirected rage. It is a symbol of the way that more and more people are being rendered surplus, through organized abandonment or deliberate removal."

Why Trump’s sweeping 25% Iran tariffs have revived fears of global trade war Experts have warned of global economic and political ramifications if the policy is implemented

Spoke to The Independent on Trump’s threat of 25% tariffs on any country trading with Iran. It is economic warfare. This kind of erratic trade coercion raises the risk of doing business with the US, accelerates its isolation, and fuels global de-dollarisation www.independent.co.uk/news/world/m...

Never heard of it? is it fun?

protip: to exclude economics journals from the search add "capitalism"
