A ceasefire is not a cease genocide.
And yet, even on the ceasefire, Israel continues to hammer Gaza City.

The spirit of Bandung burns in the Sahel. These states forced the military to throw the French out, resisting neocolonialism through action. Anti-imperialism lives in protest, not in policy. Dismantle neocolonialism

Bravery. Ugo Forno was only twelve in 1944 when he was killed by the fascists during his act of resistance at a railway bridge over the river Aniene. The memory of young children like Ugo compels us to courage in our time.

Spent 15 mins with George Galloway, the lion of the House of Commons in his day. We talked about Nepal as flashpoint in Asia, the Israeli strike on Qatar and the Israeli attack on Palestinian politics, as well as the mediocre political leadership in Europe: www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Q-C...

ZD: What is the significance of Marxism in the 21st century? Is Marxism, as some people believe, outdated and unsuitable for today’s era?

VP: Marxism, which is an ever-evolving field of analysis, is the most accurate critique of capitalism. As long as capitalism remains with us, Marxism must remain until another form of critique—better than Marxism—appears. Thus far, no clearer critique of capitalism has been developed. It is true now as it was in 1867, when Marx published Capital, that the exploitation of the working class produces surplus value and it is this surplus value that creates the accumulation of capital in the hands of the capitalists and immiserates the worker, and it is this accumulation of capital in the hands of different capitalists who compete with each other that creates the conditions for a general crisis in society. If there were a better explanation of these crises that afflict us, then I do not know it.

Israel is starving Gaza. As in the Bengal Famine, it’s by design Britain starved millions in Bengal to preserve empire. Israel has revived that same logic and sharpened it into a weapon against Gaza, says Vijay Prashad.

The genocide continues. The food is not delivered. The Palestinians are dying of starvation. There is a colonial famine ongoing in Gaza, writes Vijay Prashad ⬇️

NEW EPISODE! Link in bio.
We’re joined by Vijay Prashad, a theorist & activist intellectual. As exec. director of @tricontinental.bsky.social, @vijayprashad.bsky.social is refreshingly dialectical in his thinking & writing—witness a dangerous mind in ongoing argument with itself.
