My experience of the upper echelons of the Labour Party involved being condescended to by the incredibly thick & unpleasant, & thinking that in any other walk of life you would get punched in the mouth for treating people like that. Impossible to overstate how high on their own fumes they are.

"For the [Nazis'] core support at least, the psychological surplus was derived from participation in the regime's effective selection and destruction of enemies."
- @leninology.bsky.social, Disaster Nationalism
Just finished Disaster Nationalism by Richard Seymour. A very painful read at times, but extremely informative and challenging. Will be thinking about it for a while. Thank you for your work, @leninology.bsky.social
23.01.2026 17:06 — 👍 6 🔁 1 💬 1 📌 0I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

"[the attack on Venezuela] was partly about Trump's penchant for spectacular acts of violent sovereignty, that defy inherited norms and that put the world on notice... We stand for raw, unvarnished power." - @leninology.bsky.social

“What the Trump administration now appears to be contemplating is not just the repudiation of multilateralism, the ‘rule of law’ and a global sphere of influence, but an offensive against the very alliances that subtended global hegemony." - @leninology.bsky.social

I'm not one of them, but there are people whose understanding of history and politics led them to correctly predict January 6th would lead to where we are now. Kaye Doyle Griffiths comes to mind. Richard Seymour @leninology.bsky.social was here sounding the alarm
