"As long as the struggle of the workers against the bourgeoisie and the ruling class continues, as long as all demands are not met," Rosa Luxemburg wrote in 1894, "May Day will be the yearly expression of these demands."

He might have been a good writer but he was an awful person. We can separate a bit the person from the work, but this NYT piece talked about his political life without even mentioning his support for Keiko Fujimori in Peru and Bolsonaro in Brazil. Good riddance

Just saw a colleague from the US complaining here that Trump is undoing all the work that Biden has put into bringing peace to Palestine. What the actual f***? And let’s not even start talking about Obama, what a disaster for the world.

The degree of cognitive dissonance and propaganda in the US mindset is insane. Both sides of the cultural war appear to be lost in a time where the US was great. Latin America, Africa, the Middle East are asking: when was the US a progressive society? My personal answer: probably until 1492.

Many of those were de facto nazis. I hope there would be better background checks now.
