"There is a legitimate Marxist critique of aspects of postcolonial theory as it is received and perceived on North American university campuses and made palatable to soft-spoken liberalism, where the bitter roots of this critical movement in colonial experiences are sweetened for bourgeois palatability. In this version, Cesaire, Fanon, Malcolm X, and even Edward Said are robbed of their experience as African, Caribbean, African American, or Palestinian and given a gentle and sociable aura not to frighten white people."

Al Jazeera · Rosa Luxemburg: The unsung hero of postcolonial theoryBy Hamid Dabashi

Today in Labor History June 28, 1916: 50,000 workers staged a one-day protest strike against the trial of Karl Liebknecht for his anti-war protests. He was a Left Communist and member of Parliament, one of the very few to denounce the Armenian Genocide by the Ottomans. He later formed Spartacist League, with Rosa Luxemburg, and together they helped lead the 1918 Communist revolution. The Prussian army assassinated them, making them martyrs for the socialist cause throughout Europe.

Wer das Zitat im Sharepic der @rosaluxstiftung — anlässlich des realitätsfernen Merz-Ansinnens, den 8-Stunden-Tag abzuschaffen — im Kontext lesen will, ein anderes überprüfen oder so richtig in die Texte von Rosa Luxemburg eintauchen will: Wir haben die Werke online gestellt.

It's not super frequent that there's a more casual video segment like this (at least, casual by my standards), but I can't resist the urge to talk about Rosa Luxemburg. Also I think it's quite funny that leftist/socialist critique of social democracy is so ubiquitous and unifying that Rosa Luxemburg, Vladimir Lenin, and Joseph Stalin all agree on the subject.

Die „Deepfake Diaries“ im ZDF

Mehr oder weniger gelungene Reenacting-Geschichten kennen wir von ZDF schon lange. Und es ist kein Trend, der etwa am Sender festzumachen ist. Ganz grundsätzlich haben sich über Szenen oder ganze Episoden nachgespielte historische Ereignisse in einer speziellen Sorte Dokumentarfilm als Genrestandard etabliert. Und als Nächstes dann Deepfakes aus der KI?

The socialism we propose is radically different from the models that dominated the last century or from any statist or dictatorial regime: it is a revolutionary project, radically democratic, to which feminist, ecological, anti-racist, anti-colonialist, antimilitarist and LGBTQI+ struggles contribute.
Everyone could have a good life on Earth, but capitalism is an exploitative, macho, racist, warlike, authoritarian and deadly mode of predation. In two centuries, it has led humanity into a deep ecosocial impasse. Productivism is destructivism. The overexploitation of natural resources, rampant extractivism, the pursuit of maximum short-term yields, deforestation and land-use change are leading to a collapse of biodiversity, that is, of life itself.

Rejecting sterile dogmatism, the Fourth International has integrated the challenges of social movements and the ecological crisis into its thinking and practice.
