Here's another one, brought to me by the good dudes of the Horror Vanguard podcast: David McNally's "Monsters of the Market: Zombies, Vampires, and Global Capitalism." Easy, clear reading. If you ever wondered how capitalism got going in England, for example, you could do a lot worse than to read the first chapter. #Capitalism #Neoliberalism #Folklore #Horror

First of all: here's Voloshinov on how the hegemonic ideology gets baked into language. Haven't read it yet but I hope he offers some solutions. #Marxism #Communism #linguistics #ideology

In "Staying With the Trouble: Making Kin in the Cthulhucene," Donna Haraway says (and repeats): "It matters what thoughts you think other thoughts with." She's referring to the way the hegemony entangles itself into all our thinking before we even utter a word.

Today's the 46th anniversary of the Chilean coup, and there are quite a few commemorative events around #Santiago. I'm staying home because of strep throat, but I found some fun communist stuff to read that is appropriate for the day. I'll link to it in a reply.

#Communism can't be brought about by parliamentary means, but #Allende and his comrades were good-hearted, courageous people and I would have been proud to have voted for them.

Never forget!

I got the old fan out but it looks like a previous owner had glued it in. I was able to break it free easily enough, though.

Worf: it is tradition to drink pumpkin spice at the turn of the season
Jadzia: I think it's great that Worf is enjoying non-klingon things
O'Brien: but it's not even fall yet!
Sisko: maybe a little pumpkin spice is just what this station needs
Kira: what the hell is a pumpkin

Funny how many so-called "Centrists" or "apolitical" people complain about how a leftist or antifa being mean to them online pushed them all the way to the right, but no one ever talk about how all the murders and shootings and terrorism from white supremacists and other Fascists pushed them even slightly to the left. It's almost as if they're just right-wingers looking for thin excuses to justify their bullshit, or something!
