@augustdrake he said Cedric Robinson ignored the marxism of DuBois and CLR James and watered it down which is an amazingly stupid thing to say considering Robinson has chapters dedicated to understanding their radicalization and their marxism in Black Marxism

@ZuriBella Of course the marvel comics have far more, but the Star Wars universe had like 400 books and comics stretching back to the 90s, there wasn’t zilch right?

Chris Hedges’ DEATH OF THE LIBERAL CLASS was the first text I ever read that laid out this narrative and helped give some nitro to my radicalization. I also remember that book being shit on at the time for being far too gloomy and depressing, turns out he was holding back https://t.co/8zMc9yX8vY

hell yeah! And yes because after those you should read the books he was responding to: LAST AND FIRST MEN & STAR MAKER by Olaf Stapledon. If you read all that, you’ll see why the golden age books are interesting for what they are but how much better Stapledon’s texts are https://t.co/Oiobn5UMsB

i have been very excited to dig into this book and check out their vision for pursuing alternatives to today's system of corporate domination of nearly every sort of cultural/creative production

I reviewed HOW TO BLOW UP A PIPELINE! The best movie I’ve seen this year, one of the best I’ve seen in a long time, a great adaptation of a great book. Both are calls to action that fill my chest with hope and I hope everyone who sees it feels the same! https://t.co/CSFCNHpPCc

happy earth day, the private sector and various Goldberg machines we invent to reduce emissions by 10 percent will doom us and our children and their children and their children to a life worse than the final circle of Dante’s Inferno

it is hard to emphasize how radical THE DAWN OF EVERYTHING is in its rewrite and revision of human history. it is hard to communicate how interesting each of the questions they raise are and how stupid you feel after the fact for not considering them
