Wage slavery: A neo-Roman account - Tom O’Shea, 2026 The idea of wage slavery is often regarded with suspicion even among critics of capitalism. Sceptics note the dubious racial politics associated with its use, w...

My republican defence of the idea of wage slavery is now in the current issue of the European Journal of Political Theory. journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....

I do like how obvious it is that academics say "the ____ Turn" to avoid saying "the ____ trend"

Just met a German professor whose name translates as “Don‘t Laugh”

Europe Is Quietly Playing a Crucial Role in the Iran War European military bases are facilitating one of the most logistically complex operations the U.S. military has been involved in for decades.

1. Germany already said the war is illegal.

2. US now threatening "complete obliteration" of Iran's energy system and, maybe, of desalination plants – i.e., war crimes.

3. Reminder: The war is conducted from Ramstein, Germany: "the nerve center of America’s operations against Iran".

What gives?

A little known fact is that every time you spell "America" with a "k" you make it 0.0001% more likely that there is a full communist decolonisation of Turtle Island (in a way that is, somehow, also good for Black people with a capital B) and if you do it with three "k"s you decolonise Australia too.

I saw this headline earlier today and assumed it was a more comprehensive report on the strike a month ago
