And so on. Italy: members of the far right extremist group CasaPound, now fascist militias, brutally attacked members of the Moroccan community in Verona. Nota bene: the current Italian MP said "they were not xenophobes".

Sono tutti militanti di CasaPound, due dei quali minorenni, i responsabili dell’agguato di matrice neofascista e xenofoba avvenuto a Verona. Prima di disperdersi hanno manganellato alla testa una donna. #matrice

I see some people calling Matveev "russian imperialist" because of this. Utter nonsense from war mongering machinery. And no, having zillion baseless banana states just to suit the interests of the US is not decolonisation. It's imperialist to the core.

The idea of "decolonizing" Russia by dismantling it keeps re-appearing in various public spaces. There are many dishonesties and omissions in this debate. I will focus on one of them. 1/

After the bombing itself, this is the image of shame. He decided to post this just after the Gaza hospital bombing. No words. Scholz following here the worst tradition of his party. Ebert and Noske would be proud. And don’t blame the people when AfD wins.

Brutal terror. The execution of defenseless civilians. Murdered infants, abducted children. Humiliated Holocaust survivors. It makes our blood run cold. Israel has the right to defend itself against this. A state has a duty to protect its citizens.

The world is allowing Palestinians to be erased. And then, those left, selected carefully, will be taken around the world to talk about human rights in youth camps and human rights workshops and given scholarships to study trauma. I hate this world atm.

I had the opportunity and honour to read the book while it was still a manuscript. All I can say is: read the book, it is beautifully written, important, readable and above all an important political intervention.

No wonder humanities are collapsing into the "I" perspective: confessional tone in literature and criticism, epistemology in philosophy, first person writing of history etc when almost every position advertised is: the "I" has to obtain third party funding.

Turkey, Italy,Germany, UK, Croatia, France, Netherlands, US-just name it. Is there one country where election campaigns are based on anything other than anti-immigration and anti asylum seekers policies? It's like a bad movie and we are led into the abyss.

Bez obzira na izvrstan doktorat,sa dvije sarajevske diplome šanse za posao u tzv. Zapadnoj akademiji nikakve su. Ništa postignuće,ništa sto sam doktorat dobila teškom mukom i natjecanjem sa svojim zapadnim kolegama. A rekoše mi i: previše marksistički profil.

Writing something and fondly remembering the times when we translated Macherey's "Le sujet productif" in English. One of the best essays about Foucault and beyond, ever at all.

The Productive Subject

What could have interested Foucault in the passages from Capital, to the degree that he presents them as sources for a positive study of power, rooted in the development of the economy and its...

How many rejections before it is reasonable to say: ok, you invested over 20 years of life, did it the hard way, bcs life, learned more than several languages, but "cruel optimism" has to stop. Life beyond academia, oh the liberation, and I am tired.

"Still I would like to spend the next, if I am optimistic 10 to 15 years, in at least a morally bearable society that at least tries to resist, even if it doesn't win. That's the minimum". Gáspár Miklós Tamás, in an interview 3 years ago.

Gáspár Miklós Tamás passed away a year ago. "Still I would like to spend the next, if I am optimistic 10 to 15 years, in at least a morally bearable society that at least tries to resist, even if it doesn't win. That's the minimum". May he rest in power!

Nobody in their right mind supports Hamas. And indeed, most of these people probably do not. The argument however is elsewhere: understanding that this comes as a reaction to decades of islamophobia, violence, murder, torture and being spat on.

My social media channels show too many decolonial colleagues celebrating Hamas violence as Palestinian anticolonial resistance. They seem undisturbed or don't comment on the hostages, children and the elderly murdered, sexual violence, female corpses undressed, paraded, spat on.

Jean Luc Melenchon and Jeremy Corbyn both present in the Netherlands to support the charge of genocide against Israel by South Africa. The new politics must focus on their opposition to this rotten system. Together we will build a new political movement.
