@ELLange6 @SurplusProduce @pekulium Zwischen “zuschauen" und “tun" liegen analysieren, diskutieren, formulieren … was wäre ein echter Lenin unter heutigen Umständen? Ein Zeitgenosse wie Andreas Malm z.B.? Was sind ihre “role models”?
@ELLange6 @SurplusProduce @pekulium Nein. Ich überlege mir wofür kann ich – der der ich bin – in dieser Situation, jetzt einstehen und sinnvollerweise zur Diskussion beitragen.
@ELLange6 @SurplusProduce @pekulium Its funny. Ive been struggling with precisely this question for months in a piece I am trying to write. I woke up this morning thinking I had a way of formulating this impasse and here you are shouting at me. Hey ho … It is actually kinda clarifying.
@ELLange6 @SurplusProduce @pekulium We live in a society of absolutely massive inequality. It is unfortunately far from obvious that we live in a society in which one can reasonably expect class to serve as the organizing vector of mass political activity.
@ELLange6 @SurplusProduce @pekulium Ich glaube in der Tat dass das historische Subjekt im Kräfteringen der 70er/80er/90er jähre zerrieben worden ist … SPD 90er Jahre und Scholz aktiv daran beteiligt. Da gibt es nichts zu feiern. Aber der Realismus verlangt dass man das anerkennt und sich fragt “was nun?"
@SurplusProduce @ELLange6 @pekulium Danke @SurplusProduce Ich würde dazu sagen das ich im neusten Buch sehr bewusst die Grenze dieses Finance&Politics Ansatzes anhand der Pandemie aufzudecken versuche -> The problem is not affording, but what we can actually do.

In an era of global “hyper-competitiveness” the EU needed to become a “more active global player”, she said -> EU Gateway infrastructure program. Where does this idea of “hyper-competitiveness” come from? ft.com/content/7feb34… https://t.co/onRFa0Zc0H
@JohnStark Obviously you wade into VERY deep water fast with this argument.

@DuncanWeldon NO WAY … first the hilarious spoofs and now this retro serious/ultra short histories of fascinating stuff. Ok … its gonna be a theme!
Though I appreciate many people’s formulation of this problematic – that by @oikeios and Malm amongst others – my favorite remains that offered by Bonneuil and Fressoz … and look at their title. Anthro- for them is something to work off, to negate. versobooks.com/books/2388-the… twitter.com/oikeios/status…
Yeah. Seriously folks. OF COURSE I understand the merits of the capitalocene argument @CagrIdiman If we have to pickONE term it is clearly the best. Iif aesthetics is really no issue, might it not be better to call it capitalism-o-cene or state-capitalism-o-cene? twitter.com/oikeios/status…
