Review: “The Foundations of Zionism” Sabri Jiryis’s magisterial book illustrates how the stories that Zionists tell of themselves, to themselves, are often the most damning indictments of Zionism.

It’s a good question. The aesthetic was cohesive at least. He had good union support in BC where people knew him, but part of me thinks he just didn’t have the media or policy chops so comms didn’t get him talking

Counting the cuts Mark Carney's attacks on Canada's public service should concern all Canadians.

My latest! I'm keeping a list of the cuts that Mark Carney's government has made, and what impact they'll have on our public services.

Chavez was known to be an absolute paranoid megalomaniac during his tenure at the UFW, & when I heard rumblings of some pretty intense allegations in the wake of Chavez Day celebrations being cancelled, I figured it might end up being something this grotesque.

Reading the Violent Bear It Away at the moment and, yeah, that makes sense. Worth it though, I think. Wise Blood was incredible.

lol yes it will. The main reason government budgets are “broken” is that they’ve been progressively starved of funds over the past 50+ years. You dorks.

Incredible commentary from this Swiss announcer, who accurately characterizes the Israeli team as "Self-defined zionist to the core...who posted several messages in favour of the genocide in Gaza...calling it ‘the most morally just war in history.’”

Solidarity to a real one.

In 1978, the Czech dissident Václav Havel wrote an essay called The Power of the Powerless. In it, he asked a simple question: how did the communist system sustain itself?

His answer began with a greengrocer. Every morning, this shopkeeper places a sign in his window: “Workers of the world, unite!” He does not believe it. No one believes it. But he places the sign anyway – to avoid trouble, to signal compliance, to get along. And because every shopkeeper on every street does the same, the system persists. 

Not through violence alone, but through the participation of ordinary people in rituals they privately know to be false.

Havel called this “living within a lie.” The system’s power comes not from its truth but from everyone’s willingness to perform as if it were true. And its fragility comes from the same source: when even one person stops performing — when the greengrocer removes his sign — the illusion begins to crack.

It is time for companies and countries to take their signs down.

I keep reflecting on the surrealness of Mark Carney, former Governor of the Bank of England and Bank of Canada, invoking an anti-communist essay by Vaclav Havel to declare at Davos that the American-led neoliberal capitalist world order is a “lie”
