  • Yet apart from Twitter and RedSails what work does he actually do? The whole Twitter circle of Roderic & various art-themed avatars reminds me of Politsturm. The self-appointed politburo in exile of getting mad online. No real political work. Only bickering!

    Just being able to see through the Jamestown Foundation on Xinjiang doesn't give one a license to sneer at everyone who knows more about dependency theory lol

  • Responding in ten seconds abt how your claims would never be taken seriously for identity politics reasons is not being responsive to questions. They're just seething attempts at pithy remarks 60% of the time.

    Literally saying nobody in Latin America would take Ruy Mauro Marini's theories seriously. What a useless suckup Twitter blowhard.

  • Brainwashing is not good lol. It's very oversimplified and what little value it does is the blatantly obvious insight that your small business owner uncle will not be persuaded by Twitter screenshots.

  • He seems to exist purely as a twitter entity linking to his blog so yeah. Twitter. He has some good translations on there.

    He will reply to you in ten seconds even if you have zero followers, he is insane. You can make a twitter with just an email from Hide My Email or TutaMail.

  • Like seriously how do you look at the situation with the fed being privatized and go well let's wait for Liz to try to pass a bill puncturing executive golden parachutes (she's been at this for 12 years) (also she supports apartheid)

  • Hudson and the rest of the https://nakedcapitalism.com/ https://wallstreetonparade.com/ Liz Warren book club are good at being finance and covid whistleblowers and reporting on JPMorgan's Epstein dealings. Ha Joon Chang & Stephanie Kelton type books are great at defusing the ideological bomb that is neoliberalism.

    As far as actual solutions for what to do with their analysis, I don't think they see that as their job. I remember Hudson writing some UBI type thing ten years ago. They just whistleblow-blog.

    What exactly does Roderic do? His website? His thinly veiled alts? I got him as a reply guy and honestly his gang is the worst. They couldn't even deal with me pointing out the internal superexploitation of parts of the working class in the imperial core without throwing a tantrum on alts. But they just make puppy dog eyes at you if you're over 10k. Mindless bastards

  • My most sincere recommendation is you take your thoughts directly to Roderic Day. I think the reaction will explain a lot.

    Thoughts on "Settlers" by Sakai?
  • Galeano's open veins

    Eurocentrism & russia and the long transition from capitalism to socialism are highly relevant bangers from samir amin. Also the future of maoism though a bit old

  • You would really enjoy Samir Amin's perspective on Maoism vs Sovietism I think

    If I have any weird middle of the night rancor in my posts (it never feels like it at the time) just know I'm tired of hearing the same pseudoleftists like Sakai and Zizek get play over dependency theorists and other interesting shit like that
