RE: HOW SERIOUS IS THE AUTHORITARIAN THREAT IN THE US? WHAT CAN WE DO
ABOUT IT?
 

Depends on how the GOP does. If they win the house, governorships and
Secy of state positions in swing states- fascism is the likely
outcome.

RE: OUR ECONOMIC CRISIS ISN’T INFLATION
 

As usual, THANK YOU BERNIE, for spelling it out.

Not just "inflation" but all issues generally described with one word,
are absurd, especially when people are asked which issue will be most
important to them in the next election.

If one of my neighbors says "inflation" when they don't really want to
sell some stock at a bad time for the stock market, to buy a yacht,
are they talking about the same thing as a parent in a nearby Homeless
Encampment who can no longer afford rent that competes with properties
being turned into AirBnBs to be used by those visiting my neighbors?

The greatest "competing" question right now appears to be "abortion"
But I see it as one of the many issues that make up "slavery": the
Thirteenth Amendment talks about "Involuntary Servitude".. I can't
check "abortion" when I'm equally concerned about other forms of
slavery: e.g.,."Military Conscription," AND "slavery" that can be
answered with some other option, like "Jobs." When people "volunteer"
to kill others in other countries in order to support their families,
that's also slavery. When people "choose" to work on dangerous
meat-packing assembly lines during a pandemic, that's "slavery." When
those same people die or become sick and "burdens" to the rest of us
as a result of "slavery", is that "inflation?"

What box do you check in a survey of "issues?" This conversation needs
to gain more followers. We can't get at reality with single-word
issues.

RE: THE WEEK CORPORATE POWER STARTED TO DISSIPATE
 

Has now our winter of corporate dominance of our political scene been
made glorious summer of people's power? Here, via xxxxxx
[[link removed]],
David Dayen [[link removed]] looks at some
actions by state and federal law enforcement to resist private
equity’s onslaught. IMO obviously, this modest but refreshing ripple
will dry right up if the GOP does well tomorrow. Vote.

RE: ELECTION RESULT MARKS DANGEROUS NEW TURN IN ISRAEL’S RIGHTWARD
SHIFT
 

The recent wave of Palestinian terrorism has achieved its desired
result. The relationship between the armed Palestinian activists and
the Israeli far right is one of mutual support.  The murdering of
Israeli civilians drives the Israeli electorate into the arms of the
far right, and the actions of the far right in Israel and the
Territories increases support for the Palestinian terrorists--while
those on both sides who seek peace get increasingly marginalized.

Stan Nadel

I am not sure that it is really a “turn” or “shift”, which the
article kind of hints at near the end

RE: HOW DID MLB GET TO POINT WHERE NO AFRICAN AMERICAN PLAYERS ON A
WORLD SERIES ROSTER ISN’T A SURPRISE TO MANY?
 

You left out the real # 1 cause disinvestment in public schooling.
The ballplayers of yore had ballfields and baseball leagues in the
public schools of all major cities, not to mention smaller ones.

RE: GLOBAL LEFT MIDWEEK – NOVEMBER 9, 2022
 

Please take a look at some of these detailed, incisive reports
[[link removed]].
The Therborn essay, "The World and the Left," addresses questions that
are plaguing us in this dizzying moment. The reports from Russia,
Afghanistan and Sudan give a real feel for the ongoing resistance
movements in most difficult situations.

RE: DOUG FORD’S ATTACK ON WORKERS
 

I'm a nurse in Ontario and I have two kids in public school and I
support the education workers. We all need to band together and fight
this legislation every way possible or the rights of every worker in
the province will be stripped away.

RE: ENOLA HOLMES 2 AND THE REAL LIFE HISTORY OF THE MATCH GIRLS’
STRIKE
 

Enola Holmes and Enola Holmes 2 are thoroughly enjoyable screen
adaptations of the Enola Holmes mysteries written by Nancy Springer.
Millie Bobby Brown is Enola, the younger sister of Sherlock Holmes,
trained to be tough, resourceful, and independent by their militant
suffragist mother. Enola is going to become a private detective,
regardless of tight-arsed Victorian society's expectations.

In Enola Holmes 2, the stubborn teen agrees to search for a missing
Match Girl. And so we find ourselves enmeshed not only in adventure
and intrigue but in the origins of one of the most significant events
in 19th-century British labor history.

RESISTANCE REVIVAL CHORUS WITH RHIANNON GIDDENS "ALL YOU FASCISTS
BOUND TO LOSE" (RIGHTEOUS BABE RECORDS)

 

[[link removed]]

Watch here [[link removed]]

Introducing the official music video for “All You Fascists Bound to
Lose [[link removed]],” the newest
single off our debut album, out on Righteous Babe Records on Oct.
16! 

Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter Rhiannon Giddens performs lead
vocals and plays banjo and fiddle on our cover of folk legend Woody
Guthrie’s anthem, a rallying cry as potent and galvanizing today as
when he wrote it in 1942. 

Let this single and the rest of our album be your soundtrack to
defeating fascism at the polls on Nov. 8 — and marching in the
streets afterwards if the white nationalists in the White House don't
like the results. They're bound to lose because we are many, and they
are few.

VERSO LIBROS: COMING SOON

 

 

We are pleased to announce the launch of Verso Libros – Verso
Books’ new Spanish-language publishing partnership in Latin America
and Spain.

For over 50 years, Verso Books has been a radical and anti-imperialist
publisher working out of London and New York. In January 2023, Verso
Libros will be born in the outskirts of Barcelona, aiming to publish
titles throughout the Spanish-speaking world.

Our aim is to create an intellectual space for the production and
dissemination of major political debates. We are committed to a
systematic intervention in the intellectual training of a new
political layer and social movements who have risen against the latest
phase of neoliberalism. We want to arm ourselves with the best
cultural tools to confront contemporary capitalism.

Verso Books, founded in 1970, itself initially focused on translating
works of European political and social theory, economics and
philosophy, from Theodor Adorno, Louis Althusser to Jean-Paul Sartre,
as well as important original works by writers around the New Left
Review. Following a long emancipatory tradition, Verso Libros will be
publishing texts both for urgent political interventions and the long
term, and be the articulation of networks capable of imagining new
worlds. In this sense, Verso Libros will also work on the recovery of
modern classic authors to help us understand old and new debates, such
as Giovanni Arrighi, Régis Debray, Mike Davis, Christine Delphy,
Alexandra Kollontai, Fredric Jameson, Juliet Mitchell, Ellen Meiksins
Wood, Raymond Williams, and Erik Olin Wright.

We also believe in the power of young authors, eager to renew critical
thought. In this sense, we promote emerging voices, whose talents are
yet to be recognized. We refer to a new generation that understands
the world as well as or better than the previous one, but who are
blocked and frustrated by the commodification of the public and
academic sphere. We aim to break the generation gap. Our aim is to
unite all possible forces around a common goal: to come together in an
editorial project dedicated to thinking emancipation.

Among the most important of the project’s lines is the renewal of
socialist ideas, with new contributions from feminist, anti-colonial
and anti-imperialist thought, Marxist theoretical debates, and works
that seek to understand the digital and green transformations of
capitalist accumulation. In the same way, our publishing house seeks
to advance the decolonisation of thought, opening the door to
knowledge of the Global South. Verso reprints classics and features
authors from different places and realities, shifting the gaze from
Europe and the West.

Verso Libros is an imprint of Radical Books Coop, a worker-owned
publishing cooperative that encourages critical thinking, promotes
eco-publishing, the automation of work processes and a working
environment that emulates the society we want to build. By publishing
a curated list of forty to fifty titles a year, we aim to contribute
to the Hispanophone world as a whole in order to facilitate the
exchange of ideas, and help its living forces face the new political
cycles and to reinforce the best of the previous ones.
