"All three movements were led by an urban population, often recent migrants to the cities who were unabsorbed into their sharply unequal national economies."

Israel's "1947 war has continued in multiple different forms:  1956, 1967, 1973 and 2023. This last phase is not the end. Not by any criterion."

Reading the issue on the left as the one on the right gets delivered. I'm a little behind.

I hang in with my #NewLeftReview subscription though tbh I'm often disappointed.
Not with the current edition!
I especially recommend the #Palestine interview, the article on #AMLO and #México and the review of Hatherley's book on the #Labour new left.
I've yet to read the #Hindutva article.
Some will be free to read online.

Also Cal Winslow from #NewLeftReview wrote about the #Seattle #generalstrike in 1919. #JapaneseUnion was then enthusiastic about joining in #SCLC and the #strike committee.

Had to unsubscribe from #NewLeftReview just now. Tariq Ali uncritically celebrating Palestinian 'resistance' is not something I can stomach after reading accounts of Hamas' war crimes. A plague on both their houses, as far as I am concerned.

"Under Issoufou, #Niger opposed the 2011 NATO intervention to dislodge Khadafi, predicting it would destroy Libya and set off a security and migration crisis in the region. But when the prophesy came true, Issoufou decided to seek the help of the West to contain the fallout."

"The problem, the Dardennes’ films suggest, is not simply a world that cannot offer us safety, but our irredeemable desire for it. [..] Their characters are caught in what Berlant would call a state of ‘cruel optimism’, wedded to hopes and desires that post-industrial capitalism cannot deliver."

"To be sure, this total lack of scruples recalls the attitude of the Nietzschean Übermensch, for whom everything is permissible. [..] His desire is to oversee a permanent secession not of the plebs from the patriciate, as occurred in ancient Rome (as in the fable of Menenius Agrippa) but of the patriciate from the plebs."

"The French filmmaker #AliceDiop often refers to her work as an attempt to draw attention to the margins. Marginality does not, as her films make clear, suggest inferior status. It can exist on both vertical and horizontal axes."

"The elites are fond of dangling a grass-coloured future in front of us – deodorized, disinfected and depolluted thanks to #biofuels and #ElectricCars. But to produce sufficient #biofuel we’d have to cover the earth with soy plantations, definitively deforesting the planet .. "

"Washington’s role as guardian of global capital (..) is conterminous with what environmental historians call ‘the #GreatAcceleration’. The advent of the ‘#Anthropocene’ and the spread of American-led #TransnationalCapitalism are intertwined. As such, the #Pentagon’s deadly atmospheric legacy far outstrips the effect of its own emissions."

"While international diplomats spend their time debating their preferred solutions in an endless series of meetings, Libya’s nascent elite is creating a new reality on the ground."

"According to a 2017 study, total #InsectBiomass has dropped by 75% in the last 25 years. [...] There are many causes for this decline, but #ArtificialLighting is certainly one, because the majority of #insects are nocturnal. We don’t realize it, but illuminated #cities are a major migratory destination for insects from the countryside. Light also disturbs their reproductive rituals."
