This time gained for the bureaucratic lie -- that supplement to the permanent bourgeois lie -- has been time lost for the revolution. The history of the modern world pursues its revolutionary course, but unconsciously or with false consciousness. Everywhere there are social confrontations, but nowhere is the old order destroyed, not even within the very forces that contest it. Everywhere the ideologies of the old world are criticized and rejected, but nowhere is "the real movement that suppresses existing conditions" liberated from one or another "ideology" in Marx's sense of the word: ideas that serve masters. Revolutionaries are everywhere, but nowhere is there any real revolution. The recent collapse of the Ben-Bellaist image of a quasi-revolution in Algeria is a striking example of this general failure. The superficial power of Ben Bella represented the moment of rigid balance between the movement of the Algerian workers toward the management of the entire society and the bourgeois bureaucracy in the process of formation within the framework of the state. But in this official balance the revolution had nothing with which to further its objectives -- it had already become a museum piece -- whereas those in possession of the state controlled all power, beginning with that fundamental repressive instrument, the army, to the point of finally being able to throw off their mask, i.e. Ben Bella. Two days before the putsch, at Sidi Bel Abbes, Ben Bella added the ridiculous to the odious by declaring that Algeria was "more united than ever." Now he has stopped lying to the people and the events speak for themselves. Ben Bella fell as he had reigned, in solitude and conspiracy, by a palace revolution. He was ushered out by the same forces that had ushered him in: Boumédienne's army, which had opened the road to Algiers for him in September 1962. Ben Bella's regime ratified the revolutionary conquests that the bureaucracy was not yet able to repress: the self-management movement. The forces so well hidden behind the "Muslim Brother" Boumédienne have this clear goal: to eliminate all self-management. The June 19th Declaration sums up the policy of the new regime with a mixture of Western technocratic jargon and bombast about enforcing Islamic moral values: "We must put a stop to the current stagnation, which is already manifesting itself in lowered productivity, decreasing profitability and a disturbing withdrawal of investments," while "keeping in mind our faith, our convictions and the secular traditions and moral values of our people." The astonishing acceleration of practical demystification must now serve to accelerate revolutionary theory. The same society of alienation, of totalitarian control (here the sociologist predominates, there the police), and of spectacular consumption (here the cars and gadgets, there the words of the venerated leader) reigns everywhere, despite the diversity of its ideological and juridical disguises. The coherence of this society cannot be understood without an all-encompassing critique, illuminated by the inverse project of a liberated creativity, the project of everyone's control of all levels of their own history. This is the demand in acts of all proletarian revolutions, a demand until now defeated by the specialists of power who take over revolutions and turn them into their own private property. To revive and bring into the present this inseparable, mutually illuminating project and critique entails appropriating all the radicalism borne by the workers movement, by modern Western poetry and art (as preface to an experimental research toward a free construction of everyday life), by the thought of the period of the supersession and realization of philosophy (Hegel, Feuerbach, Marx), and by the liberation struggles from the Mexico of 1910 to the Congo of today. To do this, it is first of all necessary to recognize, without holding on to any consoling illusions, the full extent of the defeat of the entire revolutionary project in the first third of this century and its official replacement, in every region of the world and in every domain of life, by delusive shams and petty reforms that camouflage and preserve the old order. The domination of bureaucratic state-capitalism over the workers is the opposite of socialism -- this is a fact that Trotskyism has refused to face. Socialism exists wherever the workers themselves directly manage the entire society. It therefore exists neither in Russia nor in China nor anywhere else. The Russian and Chinese revolutions were defeated from within. Today they provide the Western proletariat and the peoples of the Third World with a false model which actually serves as a mere counterbalance to the power of bourgeois capitalism and imperialism. A resumption of radicality naturally requires a considerable deepening of all the old attempts at liberation. Seeing how those attempts failed due to isolation, or were converted into total frauds, enables one to get a better grasp of the coherence of the world that needs to be changed. In the light of this rediscovered coherence, many of the partial explorations of the recent past can be salvaged and brought to their true fulfillment (the liberating content of psychoanalysis, for example, can be neither understood nor realized apart from the struggle for the abolition of all repression).(1) Insight into this reversible coherence of the world -- its present reality in relation to its potential reality -- enables one to see the fallaciousness of half-measures and to recognize the presence of such half-measures each time the operating pattern of the dominant society -- with its categories of hierarchization and specialization and its corresponding habits and tastes -- reconstitutes itself within the forces of negation. Moreover, the material development of the world has accelerated. It constantly accumulates more potential powers; but the specialists of the management of society, because of their role as guardians of passivity, are forced to ignore the potential use of those powers. This same development produces widespread dissatisfaction and objective mortal dangers which these specialized rulers are incapable of permanently controlling. The fundamental problem of underdevelopment must be resolved on a worldwide scale, beginning with the revolutionary overcoming of the irrational overdevelopment of productive forces in the framework of the various forms of rationalized capitalism. The revolutionary movements of the Third World can succeed only on the basis of a lucid contribution to global revolution. Development must not be a race to catch up with capitalist reification, but a satisfaction of all real needs as the basis for a genuine development of human faculties. New revolutionary theory must move in step with reality, it must keep abreast with the revolutionary praxis which is starting up here and there but which yet remains partial, mutilated and without a coherent total project. Our language, which will perhaps seem fantastic, is the very language of real life. History continues to present ever more glaring confirmations of this. If in this history the familiar is not necessarily known, it is because real life itself only appears in a fantastic form, in the upside-down image imposed on it by the modern spectacle of the world: in the spectacle all social life, including even the representation of sham revolutions, is written in the lying language of power and filtered by its machines. The spectacle is the terrestrial heir of religion, the opium of a capitalism that has arrived at the stage of a "society of abundance" of commodities. It is the illusion actually consumed in "consumer society." The sporadic explosions of revolutionary contestation are countered by an international organization of repression, operating with a global division of tasks. Each of the blocs, or of the spinoff splinters of blocs, ensures the lethargic sleep of everyone within its sphere of influence, contributing toward maintaining a global order that remains fundamentally the same. This permanent repression ranges from military interventions to the more or less complete falsification practiced today by every constituted power: "The truth is revolutionary" (Gramsci) and all existing governments, even those issuing out of the most liberatory movements, are based on lies inside and out. It is precisely this repression that constitutes the most resounding verification of our hypotheses. Revolutionary endeavors of today, because they have to break all the rules of false understanding imposed by the "peaceful coexistence" of reigning lies, begin in isolation, in one particular sector of the world or in one particular sector of contestation. Possessing only the most rudimentary conception of freedom, they attack only the most immediate aspect of oppression. As a result, they meet with the minimum degree of aid and the maximum of repression and slander (they are accused of rejecting one existing order while necessarily approving of an existing variant of it). The more difficult their victory, the more easily it is confiscated by new oppressors. The next revolutions can find aid in the world only by attacking this world as a whole. The freedom movement of the American blacks, if it can assert itself incisively, will call into question all the contradictions of modern capitalism; it must not be sidetracked by the "black nationalism" and "black capitalism" of the Black Muslims. The workers of the United States, like those in England, are engaging in "wildcat strikes" against the bureaucratized unions that aim first of all at integrating them into the concentrated, semiregulated capitalist system. It is with these workers and with the students who have just won their strike at the University of California in Berkeley that a North American revolution can be made; and not with the Chinese atom bomb. The movement drawing the Arab peoples toward unification and socialism has achieved a number of victories over classical colonialism. But it is more and more evident that it must finish with Islam, an obviously counterrevolutionary force as are all religious ideologies. It must grant freedom to the Kurdish people. And it must stop swallowing the Palestinian pretext that justifies the dominant policy in the Arab states -- a policy that insists on the destruction of Israel and thereby perpetuates itself since this destruction is impossible. The repressive forces of the state of Israel can be undermined only by a model of a revolutionary society realized by the Arabs. Just as the success of a model of a revolutionary society somewhere in the world would mean the end of the largely sham confrontation between the East and the West, so would end the Arab-Israel confrontation which is a miniature version of it. Revolutionary endeavors of today are abandoned to repression because it is not in the interest of any existing power to support them. So far, no practical organization of revolutionary internationalism exists to support them. We passively watch their combat and only the delusory babble of the UN or of the specialists of "progressive" state powers accompanies their death throes. In Santo Domingo US troops dared to intervene in a foreign country in order to back up fascist army officers against the legal government of the Kennedyist Caamano, simply for fear that he would be overwhelmed by the people he had had to arm. What forces in the world took retaliatory measures against the American intervention? In the Congo in 1960 Belgian paratroopers, UN expeditionary forces and the Mining Association's tailor-made state [Katanga] broke the impetus of the people who thought they had won independence, and killed Lumumba and Mpolo. In 1964 Belgian paratroopers, American transport planes, and South African, European and anti-Castroist Cuban mercenaries pushed back the second insurrectional wave of the Mulelists. What practical aid was provided by "revolutionary Africa"? A thousand Algerian volunteers, victors of a much harder war, would have been enough to prevent the fall of Stanleyville. But the armed people of Algeria had long been replaced by a classical army on lease to Boumédienne, who had other plans. The next revolutions are confronted with the task of understanding themselves. They must totally reinvent their own language and defend themselves against all the forms of cooption prepared for them. The Asturian miners' strike (virtually continuous since 1962) and all the other signs of opposition that herald the end of Francoism do not indicate an inevitable future for Spain, but a choice: either the holy alliance now being prepared by the Spanish Church, the monarchists, the "left Falangists" and the Stalinists to harmoniously adapt post-Franco Spain to modernized capitalism and to the Common Market; or the resumption and completion of the most radical aspects of the revolution that was defeated by Franco and his accomplices on all sides -- the revolution that realized truly socialist human relationships for a few weeks in Barcelona in 1936. The new revolutionary current, wherever it appears, must begin to link up the present contestatory experiences and the people who bear them. While unifying such groups, it must at the same time unify the coherent basis of their project. The first gestures of the coming revolutionary era embody a new content, both visible and hidden, of the critique of present societies, and new forms of struggle; and also the irreducible moments of all the old revolutionary history that has remained in abeyance, moments which reappear like ghosts. Thus the dominant society, which prides itself so much on its constant modernization, is going to meet its match, for it is at last beginning to produce its own modernized negation. Long live the comrades who in 1959 burned the Koran in the streets of Baghdad! Long live the workers councils of Hungary, defeated in 1956 by the so-called Red Army! Long live the dockers of Aarhus who last year effectively boycotted racist South Africa, in spite of their union leadership and the judicial repression of the Danish social-democratic government! Long live the "Zengakuren" student movement of Japan, which actively combats the capitalist powers of imperialism and of the so-called "Communist" bureaucracies! Long live the workers' militia that defended the northeastern districts of Santo Domingo! Long live the self-management of the Algerian peasants and workers! The option is now between the militarized bureaucratic dictatorship and the dictatorship of the "self-managed sector" extended to all production and all aspects of social life. SITUATIONIST INTERNATIONAL Algiers, July 1965 (circulated clandestinely) [TRANSLATOR'S NOTE] 1. "The discoveries of psychoanalysis have, as Freud suspected, turned out to be unacceptable for the ruling social order -- or for any society based on repressive hierarchy. But Freud's 'centrist' position, stemming from his absolute, ahistorical identification of 'civilization' with repression by exploitation of labor, and thus his carrying out of a partially critical research within an uncriticized overall system, led psychoanalysis to become officially 'recognized' in all its degraded variants without being accepted in its central truth, namely its potential critical use. This failure is of course not exclusively attributable to Freud himself, but rather to the collapse in the 1920s of the revolutionary movement, the only force that could have brought the critical findings of psychoanalysis to some fulfillment. The subsequent period of extreme in reaction in Europe drove out even the partisans of psychoanalytic 'centrism.' The psychoanalytic debris who are now in fashion (in the West, at least) have all developed out of this initial capitulation, in which an unacceptable critical truth was turned into acceptably innocuous verbiage. By surrendering its revolutionary cutting edge, psychoanalysis exposed itself both to being used by all the guardians of the present Sleep and to being disparaged for its insufficiencies by run-of-the-mill psychiatrists and moralists." (Internationale Situationniste #10, p. 63.) "Cardan [Cornelius Castoriadis], who here as elsewhere seems to think that it suffices to speak of something in order to have it, vaguely blathers on about 'imagination' in an attempt to justify the gelatinous flabbiness of his thought. He latches onto psychoanalysis (just as does the official world nowadays) as a justification of irrationality and of the profound motivations of the unconscious, although the discoveries of psychoanalysis are in fact a weapon -- as yet unused due to obvious sociopolitical reasons -- for a rational critique of the world. Psychoanalysis profoundly ferrets out the unconscious, its poverty and its miserable repressive maneuvers, which only draw their force and their magical grandeur from a quite banal practical repression in daily life." (Internationale Situationniste #10, p. 79.)

Subcomandante Marcos.- Si, nosotros tenemos este reloj, el reloj de la derecha es el reloj de la sociedad civil, el de los ciudadanos, decimos nosotros, y el reloj izquierdo es el reloj de la guerra, el reloj del Ejército Zapatista de Liberación Nacional; cuando nosotros usamos dos relojes queremos decir que estamos en esta dicotomía, en esta dualidad de que somos un movimiento armado, clandestino, pero al mismo tiempo estamos tratando de construir una relación con los ciudadanos, con la sociedad civil, decimos nosotros, con el resto del país, en este caso de México, y la disparidad de las horas es que nuestra apuesta es que sea posible construir una sola hora, que no sea necesario dos relojes que nos estén marcando esta dicotomía, sino que se pueda hacer una sola; nosotros decimos que cuando se unan las dos horas, entonces será la hora de la paz para nosotros y para los pueblos indios. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1VO3pRRQmDc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pE0s9PbQ7O0 El reloj es usado como herramienta y como símbolo desde siempre. Puede ser usado como símbolo de prestigio, de riqueza, o hasta se lo puede cargar con cierta simbología política.
PREGUNTA.- ¿Por qué usas dos relojes? SUBCOMANDANTE MARCOS.- Éste --señalando el de la muñeca derecha-- es el tiempo del país y éste --el de la izquierda-- es el tiempo de la revolución; nosotros vamos una hora adelante con respecto del resto del país, aunque a veces siento que éste se adelanta cada vez más.
[broken link] El Subcomandante Marcos es todo un personaje del siglo XX y de la lucha de las minorías indígenas en México y el mundo. Se lo suele comparar con el Che Guevara, y como al Che le pasará igual. Pasará a la historia como un símbolo de la cultura pop o post-moderna y su mensaje político se irá haciendo cada vez más difuso y solo quedará la cáscara.
Su indumentaria es extraña: un pañuelo raído amarrado al cuello y una gorra deshecha. Pero a la vez lleva una linterna que aquí no necesita, un aparato de comunicaciones que se ve muy sofisticado y tiene un reloj en cada muñeca. ¿Son símbolos? ¿Qué significa todo eso? La linterna es porque nos tienen metidos en un hueco donde no hay luz y el radio es para que mis asesores de imagen me dicten las respuestas a las preguntas de los periodistas. No. En serio. Este es un walkie talkie comunicado con seguridad y con nuestra gente en la selva para que nos comuniquen si hay algún problema. Hemos recibido varias amenazas de muerte. El paliacate (pañuelo) era rojo y nuevo cuando tomamos San Cristóbal de las Casas hace siete años. Y la gorra es con la que llegué a la selva lacandona hace 18 años. Con un reloj llegué a esa selva, y el otro es de cuando empezó el alto el fuego. Cuando las dos horas coincidan significa que se acabó el zapatismo como ejército y que siguen otra etapa, otro reloj y otro tiempo.

Más allá de la comparación con el Che, hay una diferencia fundamental entre los dos. El Subcomandante Insurgente Marcos sabía de la importancia de los símbolos y que él mismo no era una persona, sino un personaje, como él mismo dijo en su despedida:
Les decía que empezó entonces la construcción del personaje. Marcos un día tenía los ojos azules, otro día los tenía verdes, o cafés, o miel, o negros, todo dependiendo de quién hiciera la entrevista y tomara la foto. Así fue reserva en equipos de futbol profesional, empleado en tiendas departamentales, chofer, filósofo, cineasta, y los etcéteras que pueden encontrar en los medios de paga de esos calendarios y en diversas geografías. Había un Marcos para cada ocasión, es decir, para cada entrevista. Y no fue fácil, créanme, no había entonces wikipedia y si venían del Estado Español tenía que investigar si el corte inglés, por ejemplo, era un corte de traje típico de Inglaterra, una tienda de abarrotes, o una tienda departamental.
[two images] Aquí vemos al Subcomandante Marcos el día de su despedida en todo su esplendor. Montando a caballo, con su pasamontañas, su pipa, con el ojo derecho tapado, sus dos relojes… PD: No soy muy bueno identificando los relojes. Eso se lo dejo a los expertos."]]> subcomandantemarcos watches wristwatches casio timex ezln zapatistas zapatismo time timekeeping society tools symbols revolution cheguevara https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:c1b85ab0d752/ Entrevista con Gabriel García Márquez « Enlace Zapatista 2026-01-04T20:04:34+00:00 https://enlacezapatista.ezln.org.mx/2001/03/25/entrevista-con-gabriel-garcia-marquez/ robertogreco subcomandantemarcos gabrielgarcíamárquez robertopombo 2001 gabo horizontality revolution dialog zapatimos zapatistas vicentefox vanguards hierarchy patriarchy multiplicity minorities majorities hegemony marxism anarchism resistance democracy time watches politics negotiation militancy interviews tables peace transformation transformativejustice socialjustice justice indigenous indigeneity queer sexuality mexico mexicanrevolution 1994 ezln discourse struggle organizing onanism representation guerillas colombia guerilleros socialism reeducation indoctrination education unschooling deschooling governance government policestate latinamerica society military hegemonies civilsociety structure literature mariovargasllosa carlosfuentes monsiváis communism karlmarx sartre hamlet macbeth donquixote shakespeare federicogarcíalorca cervantes laciudadylosperros existentialism romancerogitano clocks communication cienañosdesoledad lamuertedeartemiocruz díasdeguardar friedrichengels jean-paulsartre casio t https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:3136bea420ae/ The Killing Age: How Violence Made the Modern World, by Clifton Crais (2025) 2025-12-25T16:57:50+00:00 https://press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/book/chicago/K/bo253250804.html robertogreco via:javierarbona killing violence mortecene cliftoncrais 2025 history anthropocene capitalism africa asia americas economics catastrophe slavery predation imperialism environment enlightenment progress revolution destruction profiteering slaughter https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:08f47e1c8a2d/ The Situationist City by Simon Sadler | Penguin Random House Canada 2025-12-18T06:06:52+00:00 https://www.penguinrandomhouse.ca/books/662222/the-situationist-city-by-simon-sadler/9780262692250 robertogreco simonsadler situationist 1999 subversion establishment institutions counterculture revolution 1968 urban urbanism environment newurbanism cities life living https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:835bb146a586/ Opinion | The Billionaires Have Gone Full Louis XV -

After 22 years of injustice, inhumanity, living in camps with nobody caring for us, we feel that we have the very full right to protect our revolution. We have all the right to protect our revolution… The urgency that underlines his message is even more palpable half a century later, for the Palestinians – consistently refusing passive victimhood – have now lived in the wretched conditions Habash depicts for 75 long years, not 22. *** Ladies and gentlemen; I feel that it is my duty to explain to you why we did what we did. Of course, from a liberal point of view of thinking, I feel sorry for what happened, and I am sorry that we caused you some trouble during the last 2 or 3 days. But leaving this aside, I hope that you will un­derstand, or at least try to understand, why we did what we did. Maybe it will be difficult for you to understand our point of view. People liv­ing different circumstances think on differ­ent lines. They cannot think in the same man­ner and we, the Palestinian people, and the conditions we have been living for a good num­ber of years, all these conditions have modelled our way of thinking. We cannot help it. You can understand our way of thinking when you know a very basic fact. We, the Palestinians for 22 years, for the last 22 years, have been liv­ing in camps and tents. We were driven out of our country, our houses, our homes and our lands, driven out like sheep and left here in refugee camps in very inhumane conditions. For 22 years our people have been waiting in order to restore their rights but nothing hap­pened. Three years ago circumstances became favou­rable so that our people could carry arms to de­fend their cause and start to fight to restore their rights, to go back to their country and li­berate their country. After 22 years of injust­ice, inhumanity, living in camps with nobody caring for us, we feel that we have the very full right to protect our revolution. We have all the right to protect our revolution. Our code of morals is our revolution. What saves our re­volution, what helps our revolution, what pro­tects our revolution is right, is very right and very honourable and very noble and very beautiful, because our revolution means justice, means having back our homes, having back our country, which is a very just and noble aim. You have to take this point into consideration. If you want to be, in one way or another, co­-operative with us, try to understand our point of view. We don't wake up in the morning to have a cup of milk with Nescafe and then spend half an hour before the mirror thinking of flying to Switzerland or having one month in this country or one month in that country. We don't have the thousands or millions of dollars that you in America and Britain have. We live daily in camps. Our wives wait for the wa­ter, whether it will come at 10 o’clock in the morning, 12 o’clock or 3 o’clock in the afternoon. We cannot be calm, as you can. We can­not think as you think. We have lived in this condition, not for one day, not for two days, not for three days. Not for one week, not for two weeks, not for three weeks. Not for one year, not for two years, but for 22 years. If any one of you comes to these camps and stays for one or two weeks, he will be affected. He cannot think and handle things regardless of the conditions he will be living. When our revolution started three years ago, so many attempts were planned to strike our revolution. Actually all commando organi­sations after June 1967, a very well-known date to you, started and their eyes aimed at the con­quered land. But when the revolution went on, so many forces – our enemies – put so many plans to beat this revolution. America is against us. We know this very well. We feel this very well. We felt it last year from the aid of the Phantoms. America is against our re­volution. They work to crush our revolution. They work through the reactionary regime in Jordan and the reactionary regime in Lebanon. They tried on the fourth of November in 1968 to crush the revolution. Nevertheless, during events here, all of us were aiming for the conquered land. This was the first attempt on the 4th of November 1968. A second attempt, four months ago, on the tenth of February and during the last week, we lived the 3rd attempt. Ac­tually, they are working daily against the re­volution, e very day. These dates are the peaks only, when their attempts reached a certain high level. Every time we lose men, we lose blood, we give sacrifices. On the 10th of Feb­ruary there was something like 50 casualties, at least. Regarding this third attempt from the reactionary regime to smash the revolution – and people who live here in Jordan know it very well and feel it very well – the reaction­ary regime started this. Anybody who lives in Jordan knows this very well. We cannot base our revolution on lies. I am talking facts here. Last Saturday there was an incident here in Amman. On Sunday there was an incident in Zerqa, and then things flared. This time we felt, to be frank with you, that this attempt, at least from their own point of view, seems to be the final attempt. I mean to say, we felt that this time they are determined to smash the revolution no matter what level the sacri­fices were. Here, we felt that we have all the right in the world to protect our revolution. We remembered all the miseries, all the injustices, our people and the conditions they lived, the coldness with which world opinion looks at our case, and so we felt that we will not permit them to crush us. We will defend ourselves and our revolution by every way and every means, because – as I told you – our code of morals is our revolution. Anything that pro­tects our revolution would be right. This is our line of thinking. So we put counterplans de­ciding that we should win. One of the items in this plan was what happened here. We felt that we have the full right to make pressure here on the reac­tionary regime and in America and all forces, and this will be a winning card in our hand. I am talking very frankly and I have also to be frank and tell you something. We were really determined. We were not joking. I am so glad that things and conditions went the way they should, because – to be frank – we were fully determined that, in case they will smash us in the camps, we will blow all this building and the Philadelphia [Hotel] all over. We were really determined to do this: Why? Because we know that our revolution will continue even if they crush us here in Amman and we want your governments to know that from now on the Front will mean every word it says. We were fully determined to blow this ho­tel and the Philadelphia Hotel on one condition and in one circumstance. We were very keen not to lose our nerves. We were very keen not to lose our nerves. They were very determined, by their tanks, artillery and airplanes, to smash us. You are not better than our people. In the last incidents there were something like 500 casualties, the least num­ber, believe me, the least number. Yesterday I was in one hospital only, where the doctors told me that there are 280 wounded and 60 dead. Dead fighters. Ladies and gentlemen; I feel so much released now that we were not put in the corner and forced to do all that we were determined to do in case conditions went in that way. I know the liberal way of thinking. I know it very well. I know how much it would be dif­ficult to convince you. I know that some of you will be saying at present: “What have I to do with these conditions? This is very unfair and very unjust and rude and selfish.” All right. Conditions in which people live – these conditions, actually, determine their way of thinking and code of morals. We tried our best – and I hope we succeeded in this – that during your presence in the hotel under the auspices of the Front, that you would be treated the best way we can. This is the first time we manage a hotel. Our men, I am sure, know how to fight very well, but I don't know to what extent they were good at managing the hotel. But instructions were very clear. I hope they succeeded in this. I think we always helped you by keeping our­ nerves. The day before yesterday, Al-Wahdat Camp was shelled for more than half an hour. Anyone of you can go to Al-Wahdat Camp and see the places affected. It is very natural to start thinking [at] that time of executing the item. We held our nerves very well. Ladies and gentlemen; You have to excuse my English. From the personal side, let me say, I apologise to you. I am sorry about your troubles for three or four days. But from a revolutionary point of view, we feel, we will continue to feel that we have the very, very full right to do what we did. Thank you very much."]]> 2023 georgehabash palestine revolution 1970 pflp history israel morality morals https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:10ec5a47de6c/ The News: The Longue Duree of Short-Term Political Events 2025-11-12T21:55:25+00:00 https://timothyburke.substack.com/p/the-news-the-longue-duree-of-short robertogreco timothyburke 2025 democrats republicans democracy politics economics workingclass class technocrats congress chuckschumer nancypelosi karlrove mitchmcconnell leadership teaparty revolution change maga trumpism donaldtrump nigelfarage uk keirstarmer labourparty emmanuelmacron france cyrilramaphosa neoliberalism thirdway managerialism friedrichmerz germany legitimacy lyndonjohnson lbj scotus government governance https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:3538ee50e695/ US Politics Is Just Nonstop Fake Revolutions Now 2025-10-22T18:39:56+00:00 https://www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/us-politics-is-just-nonstop-fake robertogreco caitlinjohnstone 2025 nokings liberals resistance democrats liberalism gavinnewsom republicans politics neoliberalism left insurgency deepstate communism monmarchism imperialism establighment onepartysystem twopartysystem us iran yemen palantir surveillance israel kamalaharris joebiden 2024 elections electoralpolitics rebellion oppression revolution https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:fe327c32868b/ CITY LIGHTS LIVE!

In recent years, “white feminism” and girlboss feminism have taken a justified beating. We know that leaning in won’t make our jobs any more tolerable and that white women have proven to be, at best, unreliable allies. But in a time of rising fascism, ceaseless attacks on reproductive justice, and violent transphobia, we need to reckon with what Western feminism has wrought if we have any hope of building the feminist world we need. Sophie Lewis offers an unflinching tour of enemy feminisms, from 19th century imperial feminists and police officers to 20th century KKK feminists and pornophobes to today’s anti-abortion and TERF feminists. Enemy feminisms exist. Feminism is not an inherent political good. Only when we acknowledge that can we finally reckon with the ways these feminisms have pushed us toward counterproductive and even violent ends. And only then can we finally engage in feminist strategizing that is truly antifascist. At once a left transfeminist battlecry against cisness, a decolonial takedown of nationalist womanhoods, and a sex-radical retort to femmephobia in all its guises, Enemy Feminisms is above all a fierce, brilliant love letter to feminism. https://www.patreon.com/reproutopia The Girlboss episode, with Krystal Farmer https://episodes.fm/1653309103/episode/YTQwMTYyNTgtOGJiZS00YTgwLTg4MjQtZWY1MDI5YTA2MjY4 " [See also McKenzie Wark's review of the book: https://www.liberreview.com/enemy-feminisms-terfs-policewomen-and-girlbosses-against-liberation-by-sophie-lewis/ ] ]]> sadfrancisco 2025 history feminism celebrities heroes almabridwell franceswillard mayfrenchsheldon capitalism authoritarianism whitesupremacy anarchism revolution revolutionaries media cooption reverance jkrowling nogodsnomasters girlbosses liberation womenslib bethelliot sophielewis antifascism robinmorgan ayaanhirsiali islamophobia toshiomeronek janealpert weatherunderground atticauprising radicalfeminism womensliberation thirdway fascism left terfs 1973 gender transgender almawhite marysophiaallen almabridwellwhite elizabethcadystanton susanbanthony emmelinepankhurst undercommons police policing belgium congo liberalism nytimes press journalism defanging tnzania africa extractivism colonialism colonization empire imperialism trasnphobia kukluxklan kkk propaganda congofreestate mainstreampress complexity complication nazis uk us suffrage liberals hagiography historians legacy feminisms women erasure memory matricide patriarchy bodyautonomy anticapitalism work labor collectivism movements emmagoldman mckenzi https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:e5aed27f5731/ The Arab Spring Revolution That Won -

YouTube 2025-06-25T02:05:49+00:00 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9kUFBXrw0DU robertogrecoThe five years that I have been given are extremely potent. You have the Empire really closing down, really choking, really ramping up. The emperor is building the Death Star. They are closing out corporate planets and absorbing them into the state. They are imperialistically acquiring planets and taking what they want. The noose is tightening dramatically. There still is a Senate. There are senators that are speaking out impotently. The Senate has been all but completely emasculated by the time this five-year tranche is over. And there are revolutionary groups, rebellious groups, and people who are acting rebelliously, who wouldn’t even know how to describe themselves as part of any movement. There is a completely wide spectrum of unaffiliated cells and activists that are rising independently across the galaxy. At the same time, you have a group of more restrained politicians who are trying to make an organized coalition of a rebellion on a place called Yavin, which will end up being the true end of the true victory of the Rebel Alliance. I wanted to do a show all about the forgotten people who make a revolution like this happen — on both sides — and I want to take equal interest and spend as much time understanding the bureaucrats and the enforcers of the rebellion. I think one of the fascinating things about fascism is that, when it’s done coming after the people whose land it wants and who it wants to oppress and whoever it wants to control, by the time it gets rid of the courts and the justice and consolidates all its power in the center, it ultimately eats its young. It ultimately consumes its own proponents. The rest of the interview is very much worth a read as well, particularly the bits where, for example, Douthat presses Gilroy on Andor being a “left-wing show”, Gilroy says no, Douthat scoffs, and, sensing Douthat is telling on himself, Gilroy fires back, “Do you identify with the Empire? Do you identify with the Empire?” And Gilroy continues later:
You could say: Why has Hollywood for the last 100 years been progressive or been liberal? I think it’s much larger. I’ll go further and say: Why does almost all literature, why does almost all art that involves humans trend progressive? Let’s stick with Hollywood. Making a living as an actor or as a writer or a director — without the higher degree of empathy that you have, the more aware you are of behavior and all kinds of behavior, the better you’re going to be at your job. We feed our families by being in an empathy business. It’s just baked in. You’re trying to pretend to be other people. The whole job is to pretend to be other, and what is it like to look from this? People may be less successful over time at portraying Nazis as humans, and that may be good writing or bad writing, and there may be people that have an ax to grind. But in general, empathy is how I feed my family. And the more finely tuned that is, the better I am at my job. That is what actors do: I’m going on Broadway, I’m playing a villain for six months. I got to live in that. I’m playing the slave, I’m playing the fisherman, I’m playing the nurse, I’m the murderer — you have to get in there. You have to live lives through other people. I think that the simple act of that transformation and that process automatically gives you what I would describe as a more generous and progressive point of view. It just has to.
Like I said, well worth a read/listen."]]]> andor starwars rossdouthat tonygilwory left imperialism empire progressive progressivism ai artificialintelligence michaelclayton politics rebellion resistance hollywood power fascism revolution authoritarianism sacrifice colonialism colonization bureaucracy oppression freedom corporations corporatism extraction extractivism democracy protest protests guerillas revolutionaries justice injustice benitomussolini tyranny autodidacts stefanzweig marieantoinette emilianozapata frenchrevolution hilarymantel russianrevolution olivercromwell gestapo coenbrothers hermanmelville masculinity mccarthyism guillermodeltoro rodsteiger theshapeofwater tildaswinton forestwhitaker jonathankeeperman localism libertarianism mussolini https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:d28954b83f2d/ Adam Curtis on the BBC, Politics & AI -
